I just heard the worst song I have ever heard...ever

[Jackle_666]

your a liar. that song isn't by Keisha so its not the worse song ever

You know that's exactly what I was thinking. And then I played the video. This might be worse than Kiesha. (watching rest of video...)

OK I've only made it have way through and it is worse. Much worse.

 

[beer_nuts]

That was a god awful song.

But I can't make it through the first few seconds of this one.

ye its awful....
but this makes it awesome.

You sir, win a gazillion internets! XD

the bit at 27 seconds where she goes YEAAAHHH....is priceless!

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

I was wondering when a thread about this would pop up.

This song is just terrible. I have no idea who would even be willing to produce this garbage.

"partyin, partyin yeah!" You're fucking 13! You can't drive, you don't party, shut the fuck up!

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Bah!
You ain't got shit on this shit.

/obvious sarcasm, I didn't want to post an actual shitty song

 

[Nikolaz72]

Speaking of bad songs, here's a classic piece of shit...

Worst part is she's not even the worst Norwegian artist - just the most famous of the bad ones.

I dont think Aqua is that bad actually. . The Barbie Girl song is pretty deep if you actually look at the lyrics. Unlike Kesha who probably write lyrics while drunk at a bar. The guy who wrote the lyrics to that particular song (It was the one who gave them fame) probably used a lot of time on it, quite perfectly pictures the 90th youth. When teenage girls wanted to be adults while still being kids. With rolemodels like Britney.

The song obviously potrays the way the girls acted like it was a fantasy world. (Fantasy) aka. Not real. So the love the had was not real, the way they dressed wasnt real. Something that wouldn't last etc etc. Looking back, a lot of teens (Not just girls) were acting like in the song. And when something has clever lyrics, I dont really mind it having modified sounds and electronic music.

Then again, if its good or bad and if she is good or bad, is all a matter of opinion. (Most of their band -4 out of 5 members- were danes and not Norwegian anyhow) Always thought she was Sweedish.

Aqua's fame only lasted for a few years anyhow, they got famous really fast and ended up with drug and alchohol issues due to the massive ammount of stress. But yea, all pop-bands are the pure essense of evil. I can see. . .

 

[ChocoFace]

Ooooo were on this topic are we! fine i see your Rebecca Black and raise you this...


Enjoy ;D Muahahahahaha!

It was pretty generic, except for the little girl telling me she'll "rock my world" and "take me for a ride". Disturbing.

Not to me it isn't. That Friday song may not be the best song in the world but its influence didn't water down an entire genre of music.

If we're going to point the finger at causes, we'd eventually have to say that groups like N'Sync, Britney Spears, and the Backstreet Boys are all terrible artists as well, because they entered us into the eventual decline of having Justin Bieber, Kesha, and pretty much all bad pop music we now have to endure today, even if those beginners were actually pretty decent.

You want to rag on Metallica, go right ahead- you've got more than enough material- but don't include "THIS STARTED X SO THIS SUCKS" as an argument.

THIS is bad Metallica.

GOTTA LOVE THOSE RHYTHM CHANGES

By St. Anger nobody cared about what Metallica did, they'd ceased to be influential by that point so it didn't matter that it sucked. When St. Anger wasn't worth a nutsack it surprised nobody. But in 1991 Metallica were the flag-bearers of metal and the hotly-anticipated Black Album had an incredibly negative effect on heavy metal at the time, at least for me. Other bands that were up until that point experimenting with songs structure threw all that away when they saw the Black Album and started copying it instead, basically just making mid-tempo pop songs with heavy guitar, which is all The Black Album is. I saw my school friends who were Metallica fans literally crying when that album came out, not because it wasn't heavy (because it in fact was) but because it was structurally just pop music. Because of this I didn't think The Black Album was good heavy metal as it seemed like a vastly retrograde step, retreating from the boundaries the band were previously pushing, but on the other hand I didn't think Metallica made much of a pop record either, I just don't think the songs were that good. I stress of course as I have done in previous posts in this thread that this is just my personal take on it, if other people like it, and they obviously do, they're welcome to it.

Not sure what criteria you're using when elevating Britney and Backstreet Boys above Kesha and Beiber, musically there's little to no difference. Rest assured that if the Escapist's hate threads were around 12 years ago it'd be Britney etc who would be getting the same consistent uninformed bashing all the time that Beiber gets these days. People just like to bash what's extremely popular right now, and right now Beiber and Kesha are on top of the pop tree. When they cease to be the latest pop stars of concern for young people something else newer will get bashed instead.

 

[grimgin]

i dont know i liked the intro to the Kesha song it made me laugh during the entire video all the rest were truly unforgivably bad the worst was the kid one i dont even think they tried to sing but at least i got to listen to metallica so i think everything evened out in the end

 

[Macrobstar]

This song is god awful. Please share your opinions on it.

Thats pretty bad

 

[FamoFunk]

I don't get it, is it a serious song you can actually buy?

Jesus.

 

[baratona]

Seriously don't understand why anyone would actually listen to that and enjoy it, even autotune cannot save her voice

people like this need to be given the chance now 13 year old whiny kids.

Before I say anything, can I please ask that people stop doing this lukewarm "every opinion has equal merit" stanza they seem hellbent on including in any single debate topic? True debaters should know at the heart of things that they might be wrong- not just about the topic they're arguing, but about every single thing they know. The reason they debate is not to make their comment irrefutably true, just to make it more believable or appealing than the alternatives.

And just because Metallica tried a new direction that may have been crap compared to their earlier work does NOT mean that they deserve the schtick for having everyone in the industry copy THEM. They did not drop posters from the sky saying "COPY ME". They are responsible for the work, good or bad, that they did alone.

If you want to blame anyone, blame the music industry for their poor taste in what to trump up, and blame the artists for phoning in imagination for trying to jump on a bandwagon for money or fame or sales or whatever, but Metallica does not deserve that blame. Metallica could have died right then and there with the Black Album, if people had truly disliked what they were doing enough to create their own styles.

... what the hell kind of make up IS that!?

I believe that's called "Look at me! I'm android prostitute from the future!"

Looks like Rebecca Black's "Friday" went viral today. She had few thousand hits this morning and is now over 7 million.

I never said I was a "true debater" (whatever that means I'm not sure, but it certainly sounds like something I don't aspire to) and if I want to put lukewarm disclaimers in my arguments I will.

Metallica made an album that I think:

* was mediocre compared to past efforts
* implicity gave other bands in their genre the green light to also make mediocre albums

Which isn't to say that it wasn't popular or didn't strike a chord with many people. Most Metallica fans at the time who had the previous stuff grudgingly tolerated the new direction and bought the album anyway, thinking "well, it's sure as hell no Puppets but it still sounds more or less like Metallica despite the crappy songs so in the absence of what I wanted the new album to sound like I guess I'll try to learn to like it". The people who really loved The Black Album were people discovering the band for the first time, as their new commercial sound allowed them to really get on radio in a way that they never before could, suddenly gaining the band a whole new audience. Metallica had been requested on radio for many years but DJs wouldn't play it because most of their classic material is not only heavy but between 5 and 8 minutes long which isn't very radio-friendly. With a whole bunch of shorter songs with radio-friendly production on The Black Album, DJs who had been hassled forever to play songs off "Puppets" and "...Justice" could finally say to their metal listeners "okay here you go, I'll play some fucking Metallica, here's Enter Sandman, now stop ringing me". As a business move it's easy to see why Metallica did what they did, I just wish they'd also kept some of the things that made their previous music more interesting.

Looks like Rebecca Black's "Friday" went viral today. She had few thousand hits this morning and is now over 7 million.

And the creator of this thread no doubt has some significant influence in that figure. Don't underestimate the viral propagation abilities of this place.

Found this 'gem' in the last thread like that. If you think you heard a really bad music before, try listening to this:


It's so bad it's hilarious - but that's still the worst 'musical' thing EVER. Worse than Bieber

you're a terrible human being for posting that

This song actually made me laugh. It sounds utterly hilarious, although it is terrible.

 

[ZeikHunter]

That was a god awful song.

But I can't make it through the first few seconds of this one.

I feel glad to be an American oppressed by Sony Music right now. I think I heard a line of this song and nearly shot myself.

But "Friday"... I went to the YouTube page for a split second to dislike it and still think I've been contaminated by its taint. Let her taint be removed from the internet.

 

[trigz04]

Created an account just for this. I found a parody of friday where i don't feel like I was raped.
