This song by Rick Wes is pretty godawful. But I kinda feel bad for the guy, really.
A few years back I was looking through an old music magazine and saw an article that was hyping the absolute shit out of this guy like he was the second coming of Christ. I'd never heard about him in my life.
Apparently the guy who created New Kids on the Block decided he was going to create the next Elvis, so he held a talent show and found this guy.
He was given a fake name and recorded two albums of songs that were pre-written for him. Both were massive failures. The poor bastard's entire music career lasted from 1990 to 1991.
That video is for his biggest "hit" and has 16k views after 13 years on youtube.

A good example of how not to make a song. I saw this on Brad Taste in Music's Top 30 worst songs of 2022 being the only song behind the clusterfuck production of Mori Calliope (which is one of my most respected V-tubers by the way) and I can truly understand why. It reminds me of the outdated Late 2000s/Early 2010s trend in the worst way possible. I can make fun of this fart voice but this song keeps getting worse the more I listen to it.

"Peach Scone" by Hobo Johnson.
Hobo Johnson is the least talented mainstream artist of the last 40 years. Even DJ Khaled has more talent, even if that talent extends only to knowing not to tunelessly blather all over horribly-recorded guitars and leave the music to professionals.

Everybody's got that one song that they hate, but none have left me with such a complete sense of frustration than this:
This little number is called "RX" by Theoryof A Deadman. It is a vapid, unapologetically stale byproduct of the smoldering trash fire known today as "rock", and when this song came out, well, god help you if you listened to FM radio. This shit got so much air time on my local rock station I could only pray it be enough to escape the atmosphere on a non stop flight into the sun and vaporize in a trail of nuclear fire.
I have so much discontent for this track that it's physically painful for me to listen to it. This song is the embodiment of everything that went wrong with radio rock and I will die on this hill.

The premise of this track is it's a tongue-and-cheek protest of drug abuse, told from the perspective of probably the biggest self-loathing tweeker faggot on Earth. The lyrics are something to behold.
It opens with:
*In this line you can hear an error where the guy who gets paid more than you ever will in your lifetime to rape vocal nuance with Melodyne accidentally cut a sliver of the singer's vocal. And no, I will not be listening that hard for more errors in this song, either.
Congratulations! If you haven't killed yourself yet, you've made it to the chorus. If you didn't listen to the song before reading any of this, I have to warn you: It's really bad.
I'm gonna be honest, I don't care about this next verse, most of it doesn't make any sense but
This thread is high right now
That chud is high right now
Chantel is high right now
Josh Moon is high right now
You kiwis are high right now
etc.
And one more round of that horrendous chorus and it's over, clocking in at four minutes of agonizing mediocrity. I hope I never have to hear or talk about this song ever again.
It opens with:
This is backed by a dub beat and an insulting caricature of country/western, complete with an uninspired, whistled melody. Yes, this is the entire instrumental for the verse. You can also see they immediately date the song straight to hell and use fucking 4D wordplay while doing it. The flow on the verses is an incest marriage of rap and singing, and the singer's voice is pitch-corrected to have absolutely no character and sound as flat as Hank Hill's ass I'll tell you h'wat.
ISN'T IT JUST SO RELATABLE, AREN'T YOU GUYS SAD ABOUT BAD THINGS THAT HAPPEN TOO?
*In this line you can hear an error where the guy who gets paid more than you ever will in your lifetime to rape vocal nuance with Melodyne accidentally cut a sliver of the singer's vocal. And no, I will not be listening that hard for more errors in this song, either.
So this poses the question: who is this character talking to? Maybe it's God, but if so, "I'm just like you, I was born to lose", is him clearly speaking to the listener so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Turns out he is talking to God, next he'll be talking to nothing, so until the final verse this will be a schizo anthem.
Congratulations! If you haven't killed yourself yet, you've made it to the chorus. If you didn't listen to the song before reading any of this, I have to warn you: It's really bad.
It pretty much speaks for itself. The strangest thing is why they felt the need to repeat that fucking disaster. They could have softened the blow by making it lead into something less offensive, but no, they're creatively bankrupt and they've got more tunes to synergize for scum-sucking retard welfare bums who don't give a fuck about music and their overlords at the label. They didn't even pour salt into the wound, they just stabbed us twice.
I'm gonna be honest, I don't care about this next verse, most of it doesn't make any sense but
lol
At this point in the song I'm fighting off the uncontrollable urge to huff butane. What on Earth does he mean by this? Is he talking about Superman the character? Superman the actor? Maybe, he goes on to say
And yeah they date the song again. Still, through their astonishingly bad writing, they've managed to say "drugs do work, but they don't". This is the first song in history to make me feel autistic. What in the fuck are the writers trying to communicate to us?

I'll admit that I am a Eurovision sperg. With an event that has been running since 1963, there's bound to be some stinkers as there are bangers.
Austria from this year was awful. I'm alone in this because it was very popular.
I hated Poland's shit from 2014 and I still hate it.
Israel 2018 was actually really fucking annoying and I hate that they fucking won with this oBnoxious shit.
Denmark has put out some fucking stinkers as well. 2018 was just UGH. English friends have asked me if it was a faggot song since there are only two dudes on the stage and they sing about touching each other while "one is the woman and the other is the man" and shit. What I'm saying is that the lyrics are juvenile in a really cringe way.
We fucked up in 2023 again with some snot-nosed brat from TikTok who totally could not sing at all. Even if he could, it wouldn't change the fact that his song was more bland and eye-rollingly generic than oatmeal and water.
Finally have more Danish rap. It's a shame because the intro is really badass but the rest is just juvenile and gross.

I was talking to my friend about this song the other day. It's one of those songs where the instrumental is pretty good, but I have no idea how anyone managed to listen to Amanda Lear in the 70s without a permanent grimace on their face. I've heard it sampled in other songs and they always cut Amanda's voice out lmao

I could make a whole 20 disc anthology collection of of songs I detest.
Personally the Black Eyed Peas were the phenomena that finally confirmed to me as someone with a good understanding of music history that the public today are absolutely moronic in their tastes and that music isn't really about writing meaningful songs or fantastic melodies or even singing at all anymore, its about just making simple lyrics that convey the same relatable subject for 3 minutes, usually with upbeat dancey music.
In terms of shit artists I hate seeing people say they like : Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Sam Smith, Ed Sheran, Kanye West, Calvin Harris, Oasis.
Beyonce is a very talented singer but I never heard any music of her's that sounded good.
Special shout out to Taylor Swift. I liked the song "are you ready for it" mostly because it didn't sound anything like her and breaks her most common songwriting short comings. But literally everything else I've ever heard by her really isn't melodic or interesting or hooky or memorable. She loves using very simple melodies that often repeat phrases exactly 2 or 3 or 4 times within the same section like a nursery rhyme. Better musicians will write a phrase, and then have the same phrase played starting at a different point in the scale - or they will write a full melody that moves about and feels complete. She literally just repeats the same lines. And why is she so obsessed with writing breakup songs all the time. I feel like her core audience is just literally children/young teens. When people tell me they like her I just can't help but judge them. Its also mostly all diatonic and using the same chords for 3 minutes. People will say "oh but she writes her own songs" as if thats some ultra powerful defense that excuses it while also ignoring that she will have multiple cowriters and producers working on "her" songs for her.
If you just judge music based on lyrics, melody, chord schemes - she has nothing to offer. Its so vacuous and mundane. But the public hear slightly upbeat groove with simple melody and are like "ah hell yeah this is my jam"
