The Top 10 Worst Music Videos Of 2008

After many years of watching music videos, I have come to the conclusion that it takes an extraordinary type of human being to put together a complete piece of garbage. You have to have a total lack of taste, creativity and talent to pull this type of thing of. It’s not an easy task to piss off the entire human race while not having the faintest idea what you were doing.

10. "A Milli" By Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne - A Milli

2 Comments | 10,679 Views

This is definitely one of the biggest and best tracks of the year, but the video is just plain asinine. Do I really want to watch Lil Wayne piss in a trailer Porta-John and walk around shirtless drinking his mystery Sizzurp concoction all in the same sitting? F*** no! This dude is supposed to be some badass rapper, not eating red vines from craft services.

Step yo game up, Weezy.

 

9. “Overdosin” By Heidi Montag


Can’t these people just go away? I find it unbelievable that anybody took this song serious enough to even shoot a video for it.

Heidi does look pretty hot in some tight ‘80s spandex, but her crappy singing voice and lack of charisma makes this video four minutes and four seconds of FAIL. A sex tape would have done the trick just fine if Montag wanted to enhance her fame, not a half-assed attempt at a singing career. Who does she think think she’s fooling?

 

8. "Summertime" By The New Kids On The Block

New Kids On The Block - Summertime

1 Comments | 2,566 Views



I feel a little bad doing this to the boys from Boston, but when I first saw this video I thought it had to be a joke. Seeing middle-aged boy-banders try to sing a watered-down R&B track to some slutty beach babes was a pretty big letdown. I guess 40-year-old housewives need a little fantasy in their lives.

And since when did Donnie become the leader of the group?

 

7. "When You Look Me In The Eyes" By The Jonas Brothers

Jonas Brothers - When You Look Me In The Eyes

1 Comments | 3,199 Views

"When You Look Me In The Eyes" is basically a complete replica of every single hair metal ballad music video ever made. The only difference here is that these dudes get no action, do shots of Juicy Juice instead of Jack Daniels and can’t write a decent song to save their lives. Watching rich suburban teenagers lose their sh*t makes me want to cut my testicles off so I can stop myself from bringing more children into this cruel, cruel world.

I’ll take “Home Sweet Home” over this crap any day of the week. I can't believe I just said that.

 

6. "When I Grow Up" By The Pussycat Dolls

The Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up

3 Comments | 10,247 Views

The video for “When I Grow Up” is pretty much the Cliff Notes for any young lady out there trying to become an up-and-coming stripper.  As if little girls around the world didn’t need another reason to become a trashy slut.

I just want to know who came up with the concept for this video. For some odd reason, some random douchebag out there thought it would be a good idea for these modern-day pop prostitutes to break into song during a Los Angeles traffic jam and bust out some dance numbers on a glitzy construction site.

    Aside from the fact that whoever chose this list obviously has shitty taste in music, they're a fuckin' idiot for insulting the best band in the world.

    Tokio Hotel is amazing, and you're probably just jealous because Bill's prettier than your girlfriend, and he's a guy.

    Oh, yeah, stop being a stereotypical racist too. You should really strangle yourself & die because you're worthless. ;d

    So get your head out of your ass, recognize good music, and stop listening to your emo screamo bullshit, you worthless piece of crap. (:


    But as far as the Miley Cyrus thing...

    I totally agree.

    Wow, way to show what a hate-filled ass you are. I don't give a crap if you like Tokio Hotel or not, but you just insulted an entire country, not to mention about 43 million people of German heritage living in America. Way to stereotype. So impressive that you pin what happened over 60 years ago on a band of guys that are 20-18 years old. Are all guys as ignorant as you? I seriously would like to know because I wouldn't want to lump you all together if all the other men aren't as dumb as you.

    I have only one cuestion for you, what the fuck is wrong with you?!

    Tokio Hotel is THE best group, they do so much good music and they make people feel good. You have no idea what you have gotten in to yourself (I'm not so good at english..sorry, in sweden i would say: du har ingen aning om vad du har gett dig in på).. But, everybody doese'nt have to like Tokio Hotel, but even if you don't like them, you have to respect people who like them. Whatever.. I do not like you ;)

    Can all the psychos SHUT THE FUCK UP about Tokio Hotel... Their "music" SUCKS. No one goes to a TH concert for the music anyway so why do you care if someone says something negative about their cheesy ass music? Their songs are either some lame love song or about some "deep topic" like not wanting to go to school. Bill- either come out of the closet or stop wearing fake lashes.

    I believe the title is "Raining Blood" not "Reign in Blood". I don't think Spike is very credible. Someone just put Christina Aguilera on the "Most Over-rated Singers" list. One of the few people in the industry who actually can sing.

    Seriously, I'm trying to understand. While there's at least one song from every genre that I like, I'm partial to alternative and rock. I've got Nirvana, Aerosmith, Nikka Costa, No Doubt, The Pierces, a couple of Staind songs, Incubus, Sia, The Pierces, Queen etc... and yes Tokio Hotel. Their music consist of a lot of different sounds and tones. Trying listening to Wir Schliessen Uns Ein(the video is really cool), Nach Dir Kommt Nichts, Black, Geh, Rescue Me...these are my favorites. When people say Tokio Hotel's music sucks I really can't imagine what sounds good to them. And as far as lyrics go, the subject matters are relevant and the words convey the message perfectly. "I don't want to cause you trouble. Don't wanna stay too long. I just came here to say to you, turn around, I am here." I totally get that because people don't always ask for help or for comfort when they need it and sometimes you just have to let them know your someone they can come to. That's just one example from the song "By Your Side"

    ok, Tokio Hotel does even belong anywhere close to this list! Jonas Brothers, Miley, and a bunch of others do belong, but NOT Tokio Hotel. And by the way, way to go on insulting a whole heritige of millions of people. I'm German, even though I live in America, and if that makes ME pissed off, you don't EVEN want to know how much deep shit you guys just got yourselves into. If you guys where smart, you would do 2 things in this order. 1. Get a taste in music, cuz your's sucks,and 2. Fire the sad little computer nerd that wrote this. Have fun getting yelled at by the millions of people you idiots have pissed off.

    You are an ignorant, ignorant man. Seriously, I think you need to take a World War II class. I can't stand when people attack Germany for that war and associate them with the Nazi. Most German's were not Nazi and the didn't even know about they Holocaust. Hitler was AUSTRIAN. And one of the greatest generals in WWII was Erwin Rommel. He was a general in the German army. He tried to kill Hitler twice. The German army was completely seperate from the SS (the Nazi army). They simply had to do as the SS said because that was the government. And don't try to say that the German people could have prevented him from coming to power, because he wasn't doing anything bad in the begining. He promised better things for Germany, and he did it. And it all happened more than 60 years ago so I don't see how the youth of Germany has anything to do with it. The Nazi of today are looked down upon in Germany and are actually criminals because Nazism is illegal in Germany.



    And I don't see people bad mouthing Russia over what one their their leaders did. When Russia was still the Soviet Union, Stalin killed more people than Hitler. The only reason Germany is bad mouthed instead of Russia is because Germany lost.



    You can say you don't like Tokio Hotel all you want. I don't care. I think they are amazing and that's all that matters. But don't insult a whole contry over a band.

As for those who keep bitching about his comment of tokio hotel needs to learn how to not take everything up the ass. For gods sake its just a f^cking opinion. Stop being such a bunch of little cry babies and accept the truth...THEY SUCK along with all these other stupid ass singers and videos.

    Apparently the music industry is controlled by prepubescent pre-teen little girls. My little sister loves this horse shit. I cram Misfits, Alice in Chains, and Johnny Cash in her ear holes in an attempt to save her soul. Hopefully she'll grow out of it. But if you're a grown, sentient & free-willed adult, and you listen to this trash, go die in a fire, please.

    Man, i'm from Brazil and i knew that american's music, no, the comercial bands were terrible, but your extreme consumist society pushes then to the midia and you and I and the whole world had to watches. Think, first the white band singing black music in de 40', when is was a teen age girl i had to stand BSB, N'CYNC, and generics, than emo music and theirs looks. Everything that the phonograph companys do with young and pretty girls and boys is a hit!
    Band like Fall out Boy, is hilarious thing, guys covered with tattoos and piercings, acting like the best new shit ever made, hum, MADE..., is for this reason that "rock is better than dead",
    Indie, now it's all about 'indie pop', alternative, screemo, and shitless bands, it's that why pos-rock music it is so good to hear, no whinning lyrics, no clichês rifs, no ATITUDE, music only!!

    First of all, I'd like to say FUCK the jonas brothers and the pussycat dolls, the world would be grateful if they all hung themselves. no one needs that kind of shit music polluting the progress of mankind. I'm not even exagerrating. the pussycat dolls need to fucking die. since when do strippers aspire to be more than trash? "Bands" like that are a perfect example of how everything these days is worthlessly commercialized and art is made into a sad, horrible joke for the sake of money. the jonas brothers aren't like that, I just hate them cuz they're fuckin losers who like to make 12 year old girls wet and pose for teen magazines. no one needs that shit, either. learn to play something more complicated than a power chord.
