Worst Song Ever?

Post by hopeful traveller »

My nomination - typically, mine is a Eurovision song, although this only JUST pips Justin Bieber:

Live (worse) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHnqF5PLP2w&hd=1

Anything worse around?

Can you put the song titles in, so we know what we're going to be subjecting ourselves to?

I actually like that song, in a so-bad-it's-good way. The lyrics and genuinely hilarious, and the live performance was wonderfully shambolic. It was the first song of the first semi-final and you can just tell that the audience is thinking "what the **** is this?". Despite that, the singer tries to get them involved with such classic lines as "Hello Azerbaijan", delivered deadpan.

Here's my nomination: T-Pain feat. Chris Brown - Best Love Song. See if you can detect the subtle use of autotune.

Worst song ever is quite hard - one always has a bank of awful offerings to choose form whenever this subject comes up. Ditto best song.

That was actually the best Eurovision 2012 song I have heard- bearing in mind I didn't watch the semis. Its just so wonderfully different!

Worst song ever? Too many to choose. Anything that is manafactured pop. The majority of Eurovision fits this.

What I think is the worst song ever is Cliff Richard - Millennium Prayer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA5QJS3paAo

The video is terrible (Footage of Concentration Camps, really?)
The idea is terrible (Adding the Lord's Prayer to the tune Auld Lang Syne)
The concept is terrible

Also, if you do watch the music video (god help you if you do) notice that when he starts to clap his hands don't actually touch!

Sorry Nozza, I tried to play the video, but it appeared YouTube had the most odd malfunction. I think the aerial plugged into the back came loose.

I won't bother posting the link's because both these songs are well known, and personally I think that they are both awful songs. If I'm driving and they come on the radio I have to change station.

Rihanna - Umbrella
Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love

I'm not sure about this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4drqMGWTuY

Love it or hate it. I love it.

The video is awful... the song itself is not bad. Pure cheese, with a semitone modulation half way through. Catchy and ridiculous, it achieves everything it set out to do.

Superb, probably one of the top ten Euro entries from the 2000's
