It's that time again. Time for the music forum gang to cast it's scathing eye over the last 12 months of music with some new categories. It's the antithesis to all the lists that pop up on the music channels about now. Once again, you do not have to answer every one.

Cool thread.
Right...

Worst Single- When you Believe by Leon Jackson, followed by No One by Alicia Keys.
Worst Number 1- When you Believe- Leon Jackson
Worst Pop Song- Probably that Samanda one, but I don't really know. There hasn't been much pop this year.
Worst Rock Song- There hasn't been much rock this year either- not where I can hear it anyway.
Worst Indie/Alternative Song- I can't decide. There are lots of really dreary, monotonous acts who just talk in tune at the moment as oposed to sing- people like Paulo Nutini. I'll go with New Shoes by Paulo Nutini.
Worst Urban Song- Most of them. The only urban artist I can say I like is Rihanna, and there are few other odd songs I can call OK. Most, however, drive me up the wall. Unfortuantely, my Brother loves them.
Worst Dance Song A lot of them are pretty awful. Perhaps Party All The Time can take the title though, joint with anything by Booty Luv.
Worst Album- I don't know. I haven't bought any albums this year.
Worst Newcomer- Leon Jackson. His voice is good but his song is dull and just the fact that he's been manufactured to death by the X factor annoys me. That show kills individuality.
Worst Comeback act- The Spice Girls. They had one dull hit and then... tumbleweed.
Worst Act- Shayne Ward. He's Justin Timberlake without the occasional tolerable song.
Worst Video- That Justin Timberlake one that goes on for about ten minutes. I can't remember the song's name, but the video features a car crash. I hate it because I nearly dies of boredom the first time I sat through it. Also the one to 'Ayo Technology' because if it was real life the singers would get arrested for sexual harrassment.
Worst Duet- Eva Cassidy and Katie Melua OR Booty Luv.
Worst Music news story- All the fuss around Britney Spears. I'm not interested and even if I was, it wouldn't change the fact that having the paps hovering over her like vultures isn't going to help her get over this rough patch is it?
Worst Personality in music- I don't know. I can think of people who annoy me, but that's only ever because they're in the news every five seconds, which isn't their fault.
Worst song by a good artist- Call the Shots by Girls Aloud. I usually like thier stuff but this just annoyed me.
Best song by a bad artist- Beautiful Liar by Beyonce and Shakira- although it's Beyonce's music that's a bit annoying at times, not Shakira's. Also Rule the World by Take That, altough they aren't that bad- just average. Grace Kelly by Mika was also a lot better than all it's successors.
Most Overrated act 2007- Leona Lewis. She's got a good voice- but the media are making out she's the best thing since sliced bread, which she isn't at all.

Worst Single - Oh My God by Mark Ronson and Lily Allen. Utterly pointless cover.
Worst Number 1 Single - Beautiful Liar - Beyonce and Shakira
Worst Pop Song - About You Now - Sugababes
Worst Rock Song - anything which involves a whiney fratboy American accent.
Worst Indie/Alt. Song - Are the Hoosiers considered indie? I hated both their identical singles.
Worst Urban Song - Beautiful Liar
Worst Dance Song - Dance mix of Beautiful Liar
Worst Album - I imagine the Hoosiers album is pretty bad. And Mika's. And Just Jack's.
Worst Newcomer - Hoosiers/Mika / Just Jack (shared)
Worst Returning Act - Spice Girls
Worst Act of 2007 - Mika
Worst Video - Enrique Iglesias, 'Do You Know', rubbish masquerading as sexy, but it's a good song.
Worst Duet - Same Difference singing anything
Worst Music News Story/Publicity Stunt - S Club Jo in Celeb Big Brother. I used to love her voice and thought she was quite sexy. Now I just think she's a thick, easily-led, lying chav who claims to 'laugh' at bullying because she's 'nervous'
Worst Personality in Music - Lily Allen
Worst Song by a Good Artist - Me and My Imagination - Sophie Ellis Bextor
Best Song by a Bad Artist - Girls in their Summer Clothes by Bruce Springsteen. I normally hate his overblown blue collar rock and political sermonising, but I loved this song.
Most Overrated Act of 2007 - Hoosiers/ Mika/Just Jack (shared)

Worst Rock Song - anything which involves a whiney fratboy American accent.
You've got a good point there. I know which sort you mean. I just can't think of any that definitely came out this year.

Best Song by a Bad Artist - Girls in their Summer Clothes by Bruce Springsteen. I normally hate his overblown blue collar rock and political sermonising, but I loved this song.
Bruce Springsteen- my Dad's Messiah. He has so many 'Bricie' albums it's untrue- he must have least ten copies of every single song!

I know you didn't need to know that- but I'm in a random mood. Sorry




I will now take back whoever I put for worst artist, because there is smething about Enrique Iglesias' music that really, really grates on me. I don't know what it is exactly- it's just something.

Right. From the top.

Worst Single - The Hoosiers - Goodbye Mr A. ELO rip-off from a bunch of smug indie bellends. Dire. Infuriatingly dire.

Worst Number 1 Single - Bleedin' Leona. Yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn styled yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn warbling yawn yawn yawn yawn bland yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn Cowell yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn.

Worst Pop Song - Kate Nash - Mouthwash. Kate blah ginge blah big face blah mockney blah shit lyrics blah blah uh-oh.

Worst Rock Song - The View - Same Jeans. The definition of "Indie Chav." Ugly. Tuneless toss for the room temperature IQ club.

Worst Indie/Alt. Song - (Not really indie, but I had to put Nasher in Pop.) Just Jack - Stars In Their Eyes. Monotone, clumsily-written dirge. Then he realised he had a "winning" formula and released EXACTLY THE SAME SONG again, only with a different title. He seems like a nice chap, but stop trying to be all Mike Skinner and do your own thing Jack, please.

Worst Urban Song - Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls. Autotuned, brainless tripe of the very worst kind. Stretches the definition of "song." Strange soft-focus orange-toned video too.

Worst Dance Song - Booty Luv - Shine. Ooh, shiny shiny sparkly Hed Kandi music! Textbook chav dance. A talent-free zone. Plus they were part of highly acclaimed urban combo Big Brovaz (chortle!)

Worst Album - Calvin Harris - I Created Disco. I Created A Huge Pile Of Donkey Dick, more like. The benchmark for shit lyrics.

Worst Newcomer - Mika. "Enigmatic", big-haired tosspot. Sounds as if his balls are being tightened in a vice.

Worst Returning Act - Do I really need to say? Spice Girls, for all the obvious reasons.

Worst Act of 2007 - Rihanna. She needs to take her own advice and shut up. And drive as far away as a single tank of fuel in one of those Yank cars from the video can carry her. About five miles, then.

Worst Video - Jack Penate - Second, Minute Or Hour. Great song, crap video. It's just Jack (not Just Jack) running. You're expecting something to happen, then... no. Nothing.

Worst Duet - Not a duet but a collaboration, Groove Armada and Mutley - Song 4 (!) Mutya. Comically bad lyrics, dated sound (typical GA, trying to be all Basement Jaxxish and failing miserably), and a terrible video. Check out the two-note keyboard solo! Neat!

Worst Music News Story/Publicity Stunt - Spice Girls reunion. Greedy.

Worst Personality in Music - Too many to choose from. Probably the usual "dropped out of school very early in order to pursue musical career" cretins who couldn't find the time to develop any real world skills and see no problem in mouthing off whenever they choose. You know the ones.

Worst Song by a Good Artist - Kylie - 2 Hearts. Already dated. Hilariously unstylish video which attempted to tick as many "late-00s serious and moody style" boxes as possible, but ended up looking forced and quite inept. It's not even a complete song, it's all over in under three minutes. Wow is only marginally better, the production is less 2007-electro-by-numbers but the chorus is shite. A proper Friday afternoon job, that one.

Best Song by a Bad Artist - KT Tunstall - Saving My Face. All her other stuff makes me yawn heavily, but this is alright. Didn't think it was her when I first heard it.

Most Overrated Act of 2007 - Arcade Fire. Humourless bores making noisy drivel for equally boring music bores. Bore bore bore.

Other artists in the "Now That's What I Call Music That Boils My Piss 2007" collection include manly whiner Robyn, chav-dancemongers T2, restyled wannabe-Kanye "I'm even wearing his sunglasses, look!" tool Craaaaaaig Daaaaaavid, stretchy-faced Autotuness Fergie, gap-toothed Cowellcock Leon (this time next year: Who?) Jackson, and the shiteness of modern indie encapsulated in one neat package, Bloc Party. Oh, and Soulja C**t.

So easy to criticise. Easy because most of the music of 2007 was a steaming heap of dung.

Worst Single - "i like them blonde girls, i like them dark haired girls, i like them fat girls, i like them skinny girls" I cant remember who "sang" it. - Whoever boguht.downloaded this needs their hearing tested, its not even a song and could have been written in 10 mins by a five year old. And if he has to go about all the types of girls he likes, he obviously has problems getting one!
Worst Number 1 Single - "Beautiful Liar" Beyonce and Shakira. - BAD IDEA ALL ROUND!
Worst Pop Song - "Barbie Girl" by Samanda. Why and how did they get a record deal?
Worst Rock Song - All of them.
Worst Indie/Alt. Song - Does "Hey there deliylah" come in the genre? that "song" is just pure dribble.
Worst Urban Song - Joint between "Beautiful Liar" and "Beautiful Girls" Could Beautiful Girls get more annoying?
Worst Dance Song - Anything by Booty Luv. Cant sing, cant dance and have no fashion sense - next!
Worst Album - Booty Luv's. See Above.
Worst Newcomer -
Worst Returning Act - Take That. Aged badly, the music belongs in the 90's and Shine would have been my worst single of 2007 if it wasnt for the beyonce/shakira song. mark OWen CANNOT SING!
Worst Act of 2007 -
Worst Video -
Worst Duet -
Worst Music News Story/Publicity Stunt - Britney. I wish she would just piss off and we could have a day without hearing/seeing/reading about her and her freak show life.

Worst Single - Real Girl - Mutya. Just awful.
Worst Number 1 Single - Beautiful Girls - Sean Kingston. His voice is HORRID.
Worst Pop Song - I Wanna Have Your Babies - Natasha Bedingfield. Honestly thought it was a joke first time I heard it.
Worst Rock Song - Rockstar - Nickelback. Nails on chalkboard.
Worst Indie/Alt. Song - Had Enough - The Enemy. Yob music.
Worst Urban Song - Beautiful Girls - Sean Kingston
Worst Dance Song - That Cascada rubbish.
Worst Album - Life In Cartoon Motion - Mika. Love Today and Grace Kelly were great but the rest...
Worst Newcomer - Kate Nash. Do I need to give a reason?
Worst Returning Act - Spice Girls. Cos that comback single was utter pants.
Worst Act of 2007 - The Enemy. Eurgh.
Worst Video - Love Made Visible - Delays. I don't wanna see it ever again.
Worst Duet - Umbrella - Rihanna ft Jay Z. It's a bad enough song without his annoying mutterings throughout.
Worst Music News Story/Publicity Stunt - Britney Spears. The girl needs to be left alone. Same as Winehouse.
Worst Personality in Music - Lead singer of The Enemy. Nasty, arrogant tw*t.
Worst Song by a Good Artist - Love Made Visible - Delays. Not a bad song as such... just quite dull and lacklustre compared to their other stuff.
Best Song by a Bad Artist - Shine - Take That/Call The Shots - Girls Aloud. They're catchy as hell.
Most Overrated Act of 2007 - Bloc Party. I'm sick of hearing about how 'amazing' Flux is. I heard it once and forgot it instantly.

Worst Single - T2 & Jodie - Heartbroken. Pure Chav s*** that gets played an awful lot on the buses. and that chavvy girl's voice gets on my nerves too

Worst Number 1 Single - Mika - Love Today. Grace Kelly wasn't too bad but Love Today makes Sinitta's - So Macho the No.1 Song of all time.

Worst Pop Song - Samanda - Barbie Girl. Who would buy a load of crap from Big Brother Wannabes. Oh well at least Chanelle never released a song.

Worst Rock Song - Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby. The Local Radio or the local Channel 9, as I call it, done nothing but overrate and overplay this pile of s*** to death. What's so special about it.

Worst Indie/Alt. Song - The Hoosiers - Worried about Ray & Goodbye Mr A. Sorry but I'm not into this sort of music.

Worst Urban Song - Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls. All he does is say the word SUICIDAL about a million times.

Worst Dance Song - Cascada - What Hurts the most or practically every single made by them

Worst Album - Cascada. See above

Worst Newcomer - Mika. Although Grace Kelly and Happy Ending weren't too bad, Mika has an awful high pitched voice. Also I don't think he's anything like Freddie Mercury, something the papers and critics compared him to this time last year.

Worst Returning Act - Natasha Bedingfield. I wanna have your babies. Oh god, how embarassing.

Worst Act of 2007 - Timbaland. Sorry but it's Chav S***

Worst Video - Britney Spears - Gimme More. This Shows what an absolute t*rt she really is. She needs to sort her life out

Worst Duet - Beyonce & Shakira - Beautiful Liar. How on earth this got to No.1 I don't know because the song is that boring, I could fall asleep halfway through.

Worst Music News Story/Publicity Stunt - Any Story that Involves Britney Spears

Worst Personality in Music - Amy Winehouse. Like Britney she, too, needs to sort her life out.

Worst Song by a Good Artist - Rihanna - Shut up and drive. She can do loads better than that drivel. Look at Umbrella, Hate that I love you and Don't Stop the Music.

Best Song by a Bad Artist - Take That - Rule the world. I think it is the ONLY decent song they've ever made

Most Overrated Acts of 2007 - I changed this to acts because there's too many of them that are Overrated, i.e. Kaiser Chiefs/The Hoosiers/Mika/Snow Patrol/Take That and there's probably loads more.

Worst Single - L**n* L*w*s- Bl**d*ng L*ve
Worst Number 1 Single - See above
Worst Pop Song - ^^^
Worst Rock Song - None really
Worst Indie/Alt. Song - Goodbye Mr. A- someone had to say it
Worst Urban Song - Does Umberella count?
Worst Dance Song - Heart-bleedin'-broken
Worst Album - Anything from an X Factor contestant
Worst Newcomer - Sean Kingston- he makes me suuuuicidallll (OK I'll stop with the cheesy puns )
Worst Returning Act - Spice Girls- they made me realise how gullible the public were in 1997
Worst Act of 2007 - Leona
Worst Video - Any given Soulja Boy parody on youtube
Worst Duet - As said above- Katie Manure and Eva Cassidy (although the latter is OK on her own)
Worst Music News Story/Publicity Stunt - Spears shaving her hair
Worst Personality in Music - Take That. You're a bunch of aging solo artists whose most successful member has experimented with swing, techno and rap (shudder) since he left.(You decide to get back together without said member just to make a few quid and because it's been around 10 years since you split up to the dismay of millions of teenage girls. You continue to play the same kind of music that you did before splitting- namely soft pop and ballads- knowing your original fans, who probably now idolise the Kaiser Chiefs and Kasabian- will pick up your records for a nostalgia fix. Whew
Worst Song by a Good Artist - Ruby by the Kaisers. While it was OK at first, overplay kinda ruined it. Same with Chelsea Dagger.
Best Song by a Bad Artist - Do I have to say it? Sugababes- About You Now
Most Overrated Act of 2007 - Mika

Rant over

So easy to criticise. Easy because most of the music of 2007 was a steaming heap of dung.
I like this guy!
And thanks for reminding me of the horror that is Song 4 Mutya. That bloody keyboard solo is driving me nuts every time I try to watch the Champions League on ITV. I now watch the games in Spanish on Canal Plus.

Well I just couldn't stand the song. I couldn't understand what there was to like about. The video was hyped up as this big thing and it's a boring as sin. Beyonce has always been a bit dodgy, and this last batch of songs is no exception and Shakira should have took the hint and buggered off after Underneath Your Clothes instead of assaulting our ears with her ridiculous bleating.

I was thinking of mentioning Song 4 Mutya too as the worst duet. Groove Armada have come back with quite a poor album which was made worse by it being released around the same time as much better stuff from The Chemical Brothers and Armand Van Helden. Song 4 Mutya (what a stupid name for a song) is a testament to that album and is frankly appalling. It sounds weird and jumbled and the lyrics basically tell the story of a spoilt cow who has rejection issues. Pointless.

I came to hate this song when it was one of the tracks on repeat in the CD played at my former workplace. I particularly loathed the part where Shakira attempts to sound like an operatic diva when singing 'I truuuusted heem', it makes her sound like Manuel.
And I hate Beyonce's affected pronounciation of the word 'karma', kinda like 'koarrrrma'.
In fact everything about it drives me nuts. Especially when you hear it eight times a day every day at work for over a month at a time. In fact many of the songs I have mentioned featured on the tannoy music at work over the course of the year.
I now have a workplace where at least I can work in peace.

Crikey I think 2008 may be worse than 2007, Basshunter anyone??

Anyroad, here comes one last look at hell from me

Worst Single - Gwen Stefani - Now That You Got It
But any from the worst single of 2007 thread will do equally

Worst Number 1 Single - Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls
Worst Pop Song - Spice Girls - Headlines
Worst Rock Song - Hard Fi - Can't Get Along
Worst Indie/Alt. Song - Rev & The Makers - He said he loved me
Worst Urban Song - Flipping Soulja Twit
Worst Dance Song - Choose from T2 or either record which was called The Creeps, just awful
Worst Album - Hard Fi - Once Upon A Time In The West
Strangely lauded by Q magazine the whole album is a real disappointment. Of course there are probably worse albums but I've not listened to them all the way through
Worst Newcomer - A tie between Soulja Ho and Sean Kingston
Worst Returning Act - Spice Girls - In it for the money eh
Worst Act of 2007 - 50 Cent - You promised to quit if your record failed to outsell Kanye West, now go away
Worst Video - Any dance video which has to rely on bimbo models, it's getting a little boring now.
Worst Duet - Either the original mix of Beautiful Liar (the Freemasons Mix is the commercial remix of the year IMO) or the pointless duet between poor Eva Cassidy and Katie Meluyawn
Worst Music News Story/Publicity Stunt - The release of Umberella by Rhianna caused the summer of floods. Not round my way it didnt it just caused mild earache
Worst Personality in Music - Those skag ends Docherty and Winehouse
Worst Song by a Good Artist - Gwen Stefani - Now That You Got It
Best Song by a Bad Artist - Amy WInehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own
Most Overrated Act of 2007 - fergie, and I have now boycotted Pepsi Max due to their link with The BEP

One final category I'd like to add.

Worst Live Act Of 2007 - Quit Your Day Job. They supported the Hives in manchester and were amusing for about 10 seconds. It's really funny to gob on yourself throughout a gig isnt it eh!!

I don't know how, but I'm getting the vague impression that you aren't keen on Soulja Boy
