Jedward with Vanilla Ice at the National Television Awards in England
They're still so awesome. VFTW's biggest victory in England is still alive and kicking, and we love them for it.
John and Edward on The Graham Norton Show
When people were saying boo, they were really saying woo. Jedward are still entertaining us in a VFTW way even after X Factor is over. Loving these two.
VFTW Prevails in England: Rage Against the Machine Beats Out X-Factor Winner
A grassroots campaign started in England to make sure that the horrible TV show The X Factor didn't produce the #1 single for the week of Christmas (which it always does) has been successful. A Facebook group called Rage Against The X Factor successfully made sure that Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name Of" was the #1 single as opposed to some guy who won X Factor and no one cares about. The group did this because they're tired of Simon Cowell shoving his pre-packaged pop crap down their throats. This is hilarious, and we love it. Great work, England! You've got the Worster spirit.
P.S. The group has also raised over 80,000 pounds for charity. Bravo!

Vote for the Worst Presents: The Worst Songs of 2009
Each week, we'll be featuring the worst songs from each year this decade. We'll be counting down the absolute worst songs to come out each year from 2000 to 2009, and we'll be bringing back all of the songs you wish you'd forgotten. These are the songs that people just can't seem to believe exist, because they're just so terrible. There is a good mixture of guilty pleasures (the awfully funny) and complete crapfests (the awful with no merit). At the end of the 10 weeks, you'll have an opportunity to vote on the worst song of the decade.
Now, 2009 was a tough year. I'm not lying when I say this year had the crappiest music, by far, of the decade. It was ridiculously difficult to narrow this list down to 10 songs. Because only 10 could fit, we're missing out on a lot of crap. So sorry to Pitbull, Eminem, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, Chris Brown, and other people that suck hardcore. I wish I could've included you. You also know it's a bad year when both T-Pain and Soulja Boy release music and neither make it on the list. So prepare for the suck, and check out the 10 worst songs of 2009:
10. Bowling for Soup – My Wena
Who doesn’t love a good song about a penis? Bowling for Soup seem to have devolved year after year to the point where now their failed attempts at humor have gotten so bad that a song about penises was the only place to go. The ridiculous music video (complete with a woman in a penis costume) pushes this one onto the top 10 list, even if the song pretends to be about a weiner dog at the end. No matter if you love or hate this one, it’s definitely one of the worst songs of the year for its dedication to urine, semen, and hand job jokes.
Vote for the Worst Presents: The Worst Songs of 2008
Each week, we'll be featuring the worst songs from each year this decade. We'll be counting down the absolute worst songs to come out each year from 2000 to 2009, and we'll be bringing back all of the songs you wish you'd forgotten.

2008 brought back a lot of things from the past you'd rather forget about. A lot of the worst songs of the year sampled past music, reintroduced bands we all thought had died, and even put a familiar face at the #1 spot. (This article is a repost of the original on December 11, 2008. For some fun comments from Beyonce fans who were furious at her inclusion on the list, check out that article's comments).
10. The Jonas Brothers – When You Look Me in the Eyes
As if American Idol didn’t prove it already, thank you Jonas Brothers for proving that 11 year old girls have no taste. Apparently tweens get off on gender ambiguous Disney clones with huge eyebrows whining like someone stole their bike. The song? It’s a bad pop song, but there are so many of those. This is top 10 material because the way these guys sing encourages people all over the world to just end their lives so they don’t have to listen to the next Jonas Brothers single.
Vote for the Worst Presents: The Worst Songs of 2007

2007 was the year that record labels let teenagers run crazy and release any terrible song they could come up with. We were also introduced to some horrific dances that were accompanied by even more horrific songs. If you don't remember how much you hated Top 40 radio in 2007, take a walk down memory lane and relive your suicidal thoughts:
10. Good Charlotte - I Don't Wanna Be in Love (Dance Floor Anthem)
The lead singer is nasally and the song is about how Hillary Duff or whatever her name is was too good for him so she dumped him. Now he got Nicole Richie pregnant. Trading down, my friend. Trading down.
Still love these crazy kids. Do your thang, boys. Jedward album hopefully coming soon. VFTW Victory! (Video via Rickey.org)
