Ban This Song on American Idol: "Apologize" by One Republic

Ryan Tedder, the lead singer of One Republic, has contributed to the shittiness of American Idol in many ways. He writes horrible songs for people like Blake Lewis, Jordin Sparks, Kelly Clarkson, and Adam Lambert that rival Kara DioGuardi's masterpieces of crap. But the one thing he did to actually mess up the performance shows was to release the song "Apologize" and then greenlight it for karaoke hell. First, David Archuleta performed a lame version of the song during season 7. Then Kris Allen performed a forgettable version durng season 8. Keeping the trend going, Tim Urban picked the song up and took a giant dump on it during season 9 in what is now a VFTW classic.

So after Tim's horrible falsetto notes, we know there's no more entertainment value left in the song. This means it should be retired and left to die. As for Ryan Tedder's songwriting career, please kill that too. Thanks.

So what you're saying is that it's too late for Ryan Tedder to apologize? It's too late?

Timmeh has to be the first to Apologize. That was tragic.

Hell, it might as well be called the Season of Suck, because no one was expecting this amount of FAIL in one season.

This song SHOULD be banned! I feel that songs sung on karaoke shows should be retired the same way hurricane names are retired; once a GOD AWFUL TRAINWRECK of that song airs, it should just be BANNED.

Still waiting for Timmeh's gay porn debut. Suck will have a new meaning in his life.

But this song gave us a great moment on Canadian Idol. The first coming out of a gay contestant live on the show, and one that went on to win too.

That was, hands down, the worst voting-round performance in the history of the show.
