Letting Todd videos autoplay in 2019 and laughing at how mad he is that a song got popular from Vine like... Poor Todd doesn't know bout the horses in the back yet.
And now that line is even more ironic now. Like he said in his newest video, if he's still making One Hit Wonderland in 10 years, he has tons of material.
The thing about it is, even though it's a goddamn meme, it deserves to be a meme. Like that song, especially with Billy Ray Cyrus (of all people) filling in some of the gaps makes it worth all the play it's gotten.
TikTok is superior to Vine and Musically, and this is coming from someone who really doesn’t understand or particularly likes TikTok, so that speaks volumes on how shitty Vine and Musically are.
@@typacsk Nah, it's a rip off of a From First To Last song- Ride the Wings of Pestilence. The line goes: "I'll wear your skin as a suit - pretend to be you - your friends will like you more than they used to"
2013: 2013 was not a good year for walking-talking lizard man Lil' Wayne 2014: Most of all, I blame frequent collaborator and 5 foot sentient iguana Lil' Wayne 2015: oh and we also have genetically modified Gila monster Lil' Wayne
Man, I'm still disappointed about "Dear Future Husband". I mean, when I heard it over the radio, I was kind of excited - I'm not saying I thought it was a *great* song, I just thought it was kind of a funny, silly, '50s-'60s-esque song that was from the point of view of a fifteen-year-old fantasizing about the husband she might have and coming up with a few innocent qualifications. Then I heard the lyrics. Oh my word.
Girl Crush made sad. Here I was, listening to the radio at work, and I'm delighted to hear not just a song about lesbians, but a COUNTRY song on a pop station in the middle of the day in MISSOURI! It felt like spotting a unicorn! And then... I listened to the rest of the song and it turns out to be a bunch of girl-hate and jealousy and some mediocre dude. Gross. Get it away from me.
Same thoughts exactly, except that I'm in Canada where we don't make a fuss about lesbians. Still, I couldn't escape it that summer because my mom really liked the song while it drove me crazy. They had to make a bunch of bait-and-switch nonsense sounding like she was in love with a girl when really she wanted to _be_ her, but didn't make suitable metaphors? Regardless, I thought it was awfully _whiny_ sounding for something made by an adult woman.
You shouldn't like a song just because it has lesbians in it and plus the controversy was totally made up I personally hate the song not because its about lesbians but becuase its just dumb, pointless, and pretentious.
Daniel Clark It's not a matter of "liking it because it was implying lesbians" but rather disliking it because it sounded like it was going to be edgier than it was.
Nicki Minaj is the definition of wasted potential. Her verse on Monster and her work before Young Money got her was just pure HIP HOP. But then the fact that she's hot as hell means that it's easier to market her doing poppy shit. She's getting better than she was in 2011, and Pinkprint wasn't bad, but she's got a long way to go. The worst part of Only was easily Lil Wayne and the beat, Drake is someone who I'm actually a fan of and he sucked on that song
+Jones Yeah, I think Nicki has potential (Drake's not bad either), but it's being drained away by garbage like Young Money or Lil Wayne. I hate seeing musicians who could do better participate a monstrosity like "Only" :/
I do enjoy Todd but I can't agree with him on Stupid Hoe and Anaconda. Like yeah, its understandable if he hates her pop sellout stuff but Minaj isn't untouchable if she's rapping. If her rap is bad, its still a bad song. 1. Stupid Hoe sucked because its an insult track with a tune that sounds like garbage while sounding childish 2. Anaconda sucked for being one of the worst uses of a sample, annoying chipmunk effects and the rambling outro
+WizeOaldOwl I think I've only ever heard one lesbian bait-and-switch song that I think actually worked in being surprising and that would be Sally Cinnamon by the Stone Roses, which I don't even think really counts since it's a bait and switch in the other direction.
+WizeOaldOwl As someone who has had plenty of platonic crushes on other women (Nicki Minaj, Jennamarbles, and Rachel Bloom happen to top that list at the moment), this song infuriated me. The whole point of a girl crush is that you love everything that girl IS. You want to be her, but also be her best friend/sister, and want her to follow you on Twitter and share memes and jokes, and possibly also want to kiss her if you get a few shots in. It's about HER . . . not about her ability to be a dick sheath for the guy she's actually interested in. I'll admit the lesbian-baiting is not cool and is a problem inherent in the phrase "girl crush" -- it's a bit like the female version of "no homo" -- but it's annoying to see someone take a concept that's all about appreciating other women's awesomeness and turn it into another way for us to obsess over a man and hate other women in the process. It's like a twofer of dumbass misogyny.
silvertamagachi Agreed. This isn't a crush, it's envy. She doesn't give a shit about the other woman and wouldn't if she didn't have something (in this case some*one*) she wanted. It's dishonest and deliberately using the potentially interesting idea of bicuriosity in a country song to get interest. Fuck this song.
The story behind the Nasty Freestyle is worse. The guy actually rapped over another group's song (the original being called simply "Nasty"). The freestyle is extremely more successful than the original.
Mate, rapping over other people's beats is a common thing to do in hip-hop. Nicki Minaj did it with Soulja Boy and Biggie (twice with the latter), Li'l Wayne did it with Playboi Carti and Joyner Lucas did it with Future. Getting mad about it is like getting mad about sampling - rather silly and a waste of time.
I kind of liked "Same Old Love" when I first heard it. I thought it had an extremely infectious beat, rhythm, and catchy yet minimalist instrumentation- and the vocals and lyrics were passable for a pop song. Funny, though. I actually had no idea that it was Selena Gomez. All this time, I actually assumed that it was Charlie XCX, only to find out in this video that she wrote this song. I guess that proves just how bland of a performer and vocalist Selena Gomez truly is. She's not bad, really, but she's so uninspired and uninteresting. Not to mention that when she performs these songs, it's almost as if she's trying to mimic the vocal styles of other established female artists- like Rihanna, or in this case, Charlie XCX.
I’m watching your old videos while sheltering in place from the virus. “My Tiger has lymphoma” made me actually burst out in a giant laugh. I needed that, so thanks.
I used to play competitive yugioh, and there would always be this guy at the events with a Selena Gomez bad, play mat, shirt, and card sleeves. We called him the selena gomez stalker.
Honestly, as a fellow bisexual, I think this song would actually work if it was sung by a gay or bisexual man. The idea of wanting to be a straight woman so the man you have a crush on will like you back is a much more interesting.
+ImaPlayThis I like the beat, the melody, her voice, the art direction in the music video, all that. The only thing I don't like is the lyrics since they make her out to be a high-maintenance bitch as a gf.
Mitch L Honestly, whatever hatred you have certainly equates to my hatred for it, especially due to the combination of commercials utilizing this song as a source of empowerment for some odd fucking reason combined with the fact that it's an ultimate example of how musicians could make it big by only putting in the most bare minimum amount of work possible!
Crazy Luigi Believe me, I am Fight Song's number one hater. My brother absolutely loves it for some reason, and so he forces me to listen to it whenever it comes on the radio, which was a lot. Needless to say, that didn't help. Now, that song makes me want to jump off a cliff.
I like how Ocean Man by Ween became a semi-meme; which made me want to listen to a lot more Ween, which is good. Good on the dank meme for finding Ween.
10. Never heard this before, never want to hear it again. 09. I could live without this. Take away the lyrics and it sounds like a stereotypical prom slow-dance song. Actually, it sounds like they stole the sheet music to Unchained Melody and replaced the lyrics with this. 08. I cannot stand Nicki Minaj as a musician. 07. Never heard this one before this list either. 06. Oh dear F***ING god NO.
+Vercalos al'Corlin #10 was only popular because of a Vine craze similar to that of Hit The Quan. Also, you can talk about songs 5-1 here since RUclips blocked the second part for some reason.
+Crazy Luigi 05. Umm.. No... 04. What. 03. Ugh. Looks like a Spicegirls reincarnate, only more annoying 02. Yawn. For Honorable Mentions, I actually LIKE Maroon 5's Sugar 01. I don't think I've heard this before. I think I might have been happier before this
That Nikki minaj song sounds like a fucking sex addict intervention of all three rappers impersonating Bill Clinton that he never had "sexual realations" with Monica Lewinksy XD
My ex’s mom claimed to absolutely hate country, but she loved Girl Crush. It was so weird going to their house and hearing this being blasted next to their regular rotation of metal music and 90s grunge.
10. Should have been higher 9. It's kind of bland, but that's it. 8. It's pretty bad. 7. Not as bad as the previous three, in my opinion 6. Almost as bad as All About That Bass
I had a rough week. My gf cheated on me, my grandpas in the hospital, and I'm a Vikings fan (not much more to say about that). And this video made my day and I thank you for that Todd!
Here are my thoughts (Part 1): 10. Never heard of it. 9. Never heard of this either. 8. Good fucking Lord. 7. This songs meh and I never even knew it was written by Charlie XCX. Which now makes perfect sense. 6. Yeah I kinda saw this coming. Can't wait for part 2!
My continuation of my opinions (Part 2): 5. No surprise seeing it here. Also I makes me cringe seeing kids dance to this song. 4. Yes YES! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR PUTTING HIS SONG ON THE LIST!!!! 3. GOOD! This song is absolute shit and deserves to be this high. 2. Well I kinda saw this coming and I'll admit, it's pretty generic and bland. 1. Okay I was kinda expecting this to be on the list but not at this spot. Also if I ever see them kiss again I'm gonna vomit harder. As for the honorable mentions I agree with all of them. Though I would have expected that stupid Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea song to be there, as well as that Madonna song. Overall great lost with these shit songs!
+MitchNin10dofan I can already tell that, for 2016, if it becomes a smash hit, Todd will not enjoy I Know What You Did Last Summer by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello from 5th Harmony.
The more of these Young Money tracks I hear where they argue over which one gets to bang "the girl one", the more YM sound to me like one of those incestuous hilbilly tribes from a horror film. Except they'd probably be more respectful to the women they sleep with, and "Three Finger" is a much better rap name than "Gudda Gudda".
*Chris Brown breaks up with Nicki Minaj, then Selena Gomez, then Meghan Trainor by beating them up like they were objects, they all go to prison for acting up like bad-tempered whiners*
All I have to say about "Marvin Gaye" is this: Even Pat Boone wasn't *this* whitebread. It couldn't be worse in this department unless it were sung by Michael Buble and Debbie Boone.
No Todd, you can't be positive or to the right! Quick, get Jason DeRulo, Lil' Wayne, Florida Georgia Line, David Guetta and Flo Rida on the radio, stat!
"and not a teenager who calls her ass her boom boom" OMG THANK YOU! That's what bothers me so much: her obsession with that. If she gave a "love yourself" message in her song, then yeah, I'd be fine with it, but she called people who didn't have that base "skinny bitches" when I can tell you that I have multiple friends who are thinner than me that were bullied because of their small size. If you go back to another year, please tear into her "Lips are Movin'" song because that is THE most annoying song of hers and is what made me unable to listen to her music due to it being CONSTANTLY spammed in EVERY SINGLE AD THAT PLAYED ON HULU, in addition to it being played in EVERY STORE I WALKED INTO THE YEAR IT CAME OUT.
Oh you have no idea how pleased I am with your number one choice, Todd. I first heard that song at a small pub I had a gig at. I almost dropped my guitar involuntarily by the horror my eardrums had just absorbed. Great work as always.
+Sammy Duke Honestly, I felt the same way with numbers three and two myself, although I thought #2 should have been #1 due to it feeling like the ultimate nothing song that showcases that if you want to succeed as a musician, you don't have to put in any really effort at all anymore! Fuck that garbage.
+Operator FLS Chriseon of house Greyjoy, also known as the Turncloak Breezy, Breezy, it rhymes with sleazy Breezy, Breezy, it rhymes with queasy Breezy, Breezy, it rhymes with measly Breezy, Breezy, it rhymes with dizzy Breezy, Breezy, it rhymes with crazy Breezy, Breezy, it rhymes with nosy Breezy, Breezy, it rhymes with hazy Breezy, Breezy, it rhymes with wheezy Breezy, Breezy, it rhymes with greasy Breezy, Breezy, it rhymes with needy Breezy, Breezy, it rhymes with steamy Breezy, Breezy, it rhymes with dozy Breezy, Breezy, it rhymes with lousy Breezy, Breezy, it rhymes with feces (please get that. PLEASE)
the best part of listening to these years later is hearing Todd complain about people getting famous songs off Vine. oh you sweet summer child you had no way of knowing tik tok was coming to make this a permanent thing
Damnit Girl Crush. You might as well made the song about that Twitter hashtag that I keep confusing for a long defunct wrestling company. RIP World Championship Wrestling.
+Todd in the Shadows I knew something wasn't right here! Anyways, I'll give my thoughts on the Bottom 5 songs of 2015 (and the dishonorable mentions) right after I finish the video in question.
+darkforces She's pretty hit or miss from what I've heard. But in my experience her worst stuff is bad because of another artist. She's a talented singer with a great range but when she collaborates with much less talented artists it drags the song down. Of course I don't follow chart music or her career enough to hear much of the good stuff.
Nicki is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine too and I liked some of her songs this year like "hey mama". But it kills me how much Todd seems to like her, especially how much he liked "Anaconda". That's one of the Nicki songs that I can find nothing redemptive in. I hate it far more than "only". It's nothing but a noisy, over sampled mess that confuses "female empowerment" with "being a drug dealers whore so he'll buy you pretty shoes".
Rynn's Ramblings Honestly I think in terms of music alone my only issue with Anaconda is the sampling since I never really cared for Baby Got Back. Meanwhile despite the poor lyrics I do think Nicki's singing and the melody are pretty decent and I can see why Todd had it as an honorable mention for both his best and worst list that year.
Great work Todd! I look forward to your year-end lists every year! However, the day that RUclips makes Content ID stop taking down fair-use reviews (such as part 2 of this list) is a day that can’t come soon enough. Here are my thoughts about the songs on this entire list: 10. If RUclips was a rose with thorns, Vine is a cactus with lots of spikes. This song really has no foundation, and it’s only relevant because of the people who click on these six-second clips of people dancing to the song. And this is coming from someone who’s in the same age demographic as the people who initiate this kind of behavior as well as having miniscule attention spans. 9. I never really heard this song all that much, so I can’t really say anything about this song. 8. Nicki Minaj, I’m sure that most people who listen to the lyrics in this atrocious song can figure out the punchline in “I don’t duct nobody but tape”. No need to say “Yeah, that was a setup, for a punchline on duct tape”. Chris Brown, if there was a version of this song without the chorus, it would be better since 1. I would hear less n-bombs in this song 2. The song would be shorter, meaning that I wouldn’t have to hear this song for as song since it is extremely awful. 3. I wouldn’t have to hear Chris Brown, the woman-beater and uneducated fool on the Internet. Drake, your verses were absolutely pathetic. I wonder if you were under the influence of drugs or if you had to do the verse when you didn’t want to, since your lyrics were just plain embarrassing. Lil Wayne, after Bitches Love Me, I don’t want to hear you rap sleazy, misogynistic, and really questionable lyrics in a top 25 song. 7. This would be one of the only songs that I disagree with you on. I think that Selena Gomez going for a rougher edge in this song was great in capturing the desperation in wanting to find a relationship that’s different and will work out, and the production has an exotic vibe, at least for me. To be fair, the points you made in this song were pretty solid. And hey, if Charli XCX actually sang this song, it would be better. 6. When I release part 2 of my top ten worst hit songs of 2015, I’ll explain more about why I hate this song as much as I do, but I’ll say now that this is outrageously immature and not only sends the message that girls should be controlling and materialistic to future husbands (to be fair, men should not do horrible things to women either, because the things men could do to women range from equally bad to way worse), it also acts as a slap in the face to true feminism. Feminism is defined as “The advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.” Demanding men to buy things for you, take the blame in an argument, and neglecting the man’s family is NOT feminism by any means. One of the very few songs that would get a 0/10 rating from me and that is saying a lot. 5. Hey look, another song that got popular thanks to be thorny rose that is RUclips as well as the spiky cactus that is Vine! Just what we wanted, a dance song that’s the most unoriginal one yet that outright steals from other songs, such as Stanky Leg, Crank That, and other dances that I don’t want to ever have to think about! Basically, this song completely sucks, and I’m just waiting for it to drop out of the Billboard Hot 100 as I type this. I’m not saying much here, since this song does not deserve the unfair overdose of popularity it got. 4. Somehow I feel more apart in my opinion, since of all the critics I’ve seen that made ten worst songs of 2015 lists until now, I’ve never seen Bad Blood get much dislike. It feels reliving to see someone else put this song on their list, since this song is indeed Taylor Swift’s worst song yet. The worst part is that she’s clearly capable of self-awareness on songs like Blank Space (I didn’t really like it that much, but I can see the positive elements in this song) and Wildest Dreams (her best song in a long time), and then she just becomes completely obnoxious, immature, whiny, and completely un-self-aware of her own actions. The stretching out of the syllable in the chorus are completely insufferable, and if this song is about the Katy Perry feud, writing songs about feuds with other celebrities is just a waste of studio time, since the feuds become irrelevant very fast. Also, you know a song is atrocious when Kendrick Lamar delivers his worst verse on this remix that just happens to become a number 1 hit and not other great Kendrick Lamar songs, like Swimming Pools and i. 3. This song is narcissistic and Fifth Harmony, just why do you feel entitled to be worth the man’s time? There’s no rational explanation in this song, and Kid Ink does not improve this song in any way. At the end of the say, this song is not worth it. 2. I can’t muster up any hatred against this forgetful song. I will say that this is indeed a very recycled self-empowerment anthem, right down to the title. But I just can’t really hate it all that much. Dishonorable mention 1: For a song called Sugar, it’s the most tasteless song Maroon 5 has put out so far. Dishonorable mention 2: Oh, another Vine artist? His name is O. T. Genasis? Well, I’m done. I don’t have time for those who become famous solely because of Vine at this point. Moving on. Dishonorable mention 3: This song is number 1 right now. I’m a little sick of Bieber at this point, and this song is even more forgettable than What Do You Mean. Dishonorable mention 4: All I can say is, at least it’s more original than some of the other dance songs out there. Dishonorable mention 5: Not good, but not exactly horrible either. It’s just right in the middle of mediocrity. Dishonorable mention 6: This is the other song that I disagree, since I think Nick Jonas basically turned his music career around with this song after the hellish disaster that was Jealous. Dishonorable mention 7: I keep forgetting this song exists, and I’ve never really paid attention to this song. Dishonorable mention 8: So, who’s Rock City again? And who’s the artist featured again? Never mind, it doesn’t matter to me. 1. I’ve seen a lot of people despise this song, and I myself don’t like it, but I can’t hate this song with the same passion that other people have (see Spectrum Pulse). Is it the whitest and least sexy sex song that makes Marvin Gaye spin in his grave? That’s easy to believe. It’s quite immature and Charlie and Meghan do sound like they don’t know much about sex, but you know what? I’d take a sterile sex song over a song that can take society further back into their double standards of men and women.
Hey Todd. Love your stuff. Your top 10's are literally the only videos I eagerly anticipate every year. Keep up the good work. :) And wow, I think every worst of 2015 list had Marvin Gaye, Dear Future Husband, Only and Fight Song on them.
+Shatzy Shell Spectrum Pulse is the only one I've seen not include Fight Song. He actually said in the beginning of his video that the song was just boring but not enough to make the list. His list also had the top 3 be 1. Dear Future Husband 2. Marvin Gaye 3. Only lol
I remember hearing about the "Girl Crush" controversy and thinking it was a prime example of the dangers of leaving something made for the general public open to interpretation, now of corse I realize that both sides were homophobic. Actually, I really wanna hear a male singer cover it, cuz then it actually WOULD be about sexual confusion.
My favourite thing about number 8 is that in the official lyric video Chris Brown is basically depicted as an SS officer. The lack of self awareness kills me
10. It sucked quite a bit 9. I wouldn't have placed it on my worst list but wasn't she talking about how she wanted the same personalities of said woman? 8. Oh yeah this was all just a train wreck in all ways 7. I couldn't say anything other than what you said. 6. Ewwww. This is just craziness in all wrong ways
How the most idiotic conspiracy theory ever was created; David Icke: What...is that? Lil Wayne: (starts rapping) David Icke: LIZARD LIZARD LIZARD LIZARD LIZARD!!!!
Some random thoughts covering both parts of the review: 1. I hate you for reminding me that that "doo dah doo dah dee" song exists, but I'm glad that you've given me another reason to hate Silento. 2. The album version of "Bad Blood" is pretty toothless and the melody is the same in both versions, but it's at least 5x better than that remix. 3. Mendes got popular playing covers and originals on Vine; make of that what you will. 4. "Chains" is the last of Nick Jonas's recent songs that I would put on a worst list or honorable mentions, since I'm sure I've never heard it whereas I've heard the atrocious "Levels" more times than I can count. 5. Overall, my only major complaint/disagreement is that "Stitches" should have made my whole top 5.
Todd: "why am I the only one who waits for the year to end to upload lists?" also Todd: *worst lists of 2019 and 2020 are uploaded in their respective December*
Personally, I don't mind waiting just a little bit longer to get a more complete list, plus it's something to look forward to at the start of the new year. Great vid as always. :)
The queerbaiting alone is infuriating, but "I got a girl crush" in this context basically translates to; "She doesn't deserve you, I DESERVE YOU!" Such a disgusting fucking song.
The song is just creepy. It literally sounds like she wants to peel this girl's skin off and wear it. I think it would honestly work as a dark rock song and leaned into the weird
While you said at the start that you think this was a good year for pop music, my opinion of it is... meh. I find it interesting, you liked this year but hated 2014. 2014 had so many memorable tracks that are still well known today. Blank space, uptown funk, rather be, break free, anaconda, turn down for what, etc. My issue with 2015 is that its just been.... bland. Admittedly Im not a great lover of pop, but the songs up above left an impact and were interesting, or stirred up controversy. Even as someone who isnt a fan of pop music, these were big songs which even I knew how they went or at least what they were about. This year... god, I cant even remember many songs which made even a slight impact. I spent like 30 mins while watching your videos trying to remember any songs from this year. Here is my list: -A song which was really slow and had two people dancing (where we are?) -A song about a cheerleader which seemed to be two lines on loop over not even an interesting beat -Hotline Bling (which only got popular because of Drakes dancing) -What do you mean by Justin Beiber Christ, when Justin Fucking Beiber is the only pop artist this year that made a song which I actually can appreciate artistically, and 2/4 of the songs I can actually remember I dont know the name of, it just goes to show how bland a year this was for pop music. Otherwise, its either white guys with accoustic guitars or shitty trap beats. All I can hope is that WGWAG and trap dont merge into an abomination in 2016.
Holy shit if Charli XCX did "Same Old Love", it would've been on repeat, like Selena really sounds like the market brand Charli XCX on that hook. Especially listening to her new stuff, Charli is a pop music godsend, and she's really cool.
Being 22, over the last few years I have begun to experience that uneasy sense of the world growing less familiar as the present moves further and further away from how I knew it during my childhood and adolescence. Todd's older videos strike that nerve. His segment on the song that blew up on Vine, what a trip.
I Liked, Commented and Subscribed. P.S. Please work on more CineMadonna! I re watch those videos like crazy and I have a feeling the next one is going to be awesome. Please and thank you Todd.
Letting Todd videos autoplay in 2019 and laughing at how mad he is that a song got popular from Vine like... Poor Todd doesn't know bout the horses in the back yet.
And now that line is even more ironic now. Like he said in his newest video, if he's still making One Hit Wonderland in 10 years, he has tons of material.
Lol right, and he actually likes old town road 😂
The thing about it is, even though it's a goddamn meme, it deserves to be a meme. Like that song, especially with Billy Ray Cyrus (of all people) filling in some of the gaps makes it worth all the play it's gotten.
In the top songs of 2021 he talks about tik tok making songs popular but at least there where some decent songs that got popular on tik tok
Me in 2022 laughing at this because “Fancy Like” 🤣🤣🤣
Todd: fucking TIK TOOOOK!
“The idea that someone got famous off of vine infuriates me”
Ouch, I can’t even imagine how he feels about now about Tik Tok.
Considering how kind he was to Old Town Road, I'd say he's softened up
Yeah but He hates Yummy, and that could be considered a tiktok trend
He was ambivalent to "deathbed", but only liked the sample and not the guy who put it there.
TikTok is superior to Vine and Musically, and this is coming from someone who really doesn’t understand or particularly likes TikTok, so that speaks volumes on how shitty Vine and Musically are.
@@ffjreviews9029 But Yummy was more of a forced trend than anything, since no one except for JB and a few Tiktokers who got paid off danced to it.
That Girl Crush song is so creepy! I swear it's like one step away from "I wanna wear her skin like a suit because then you might want me"
Yes.
Reminds me of that "Feelin' Kinda Naughty" song from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
@@typacsk Nah, it's a rip off of a From First To Last song- Ride the Wings of Pestilence. The line goes: "I'll wear your skin as a suit - pretend to be you - your friends will like you more than they used to"
It sounds like something of an old OF mixtape
Kinda seems like it has nothing to do with lesbian action. She's jealous of her guys crush. There's nothing going on here between 2 women.
Practice responsible tiger ownership, take your pet to the vuuuhh twice a year.

I lost it at "genetically-modified Gila monster Lil Wayne".
Same. I love hearing Todd compare Lil Wayne to weird shit. It never fails to make me laugh.
My favorite was "walking, talking reptile man (pictured: Lil Wayne)"
Don't forget "sentient 4 foot iguana"
+A Great Astrologer Name of Dang That is where I lost it.
2013: 2013 was not a good year for walking-talking lizard man Lil' Wayne
2014: Most of all, I blame frequent collaborator and 5 foot sentient iguana Lil' Wayne
2015: oh and we also have genetically modified Gila monster Lil' Wayne
Man, I'm still disappointed about "Dear Future Husband". I mean, when I heard it over the radio, I was kind of excited - I'm not saying I thought it was a *great* song, I just thought it was kind of a funny, silly, '50s-'60s-esque song that was from the point of view of a fifteen-year-old fantasizing about the husband she might have and coming up with a few innocent qualifications.
Then I heard the lyrics.
Oh my word.
Yeah, not sure we needed a doowop revival.
Watching Todd talk about hating Vine songs in the time of TikTok... it's honestly bizarre
Girl Crush made sad. Here I was, listening to the radio at work, and I'm delighted to hear not just a song about lesbians, but a COUNTRY song on a pop station in the middle of the day in MISSOURI! It felt like spotting a unicorn! And then... I listened to the rest of the song and it turns out to be a bunch of girl-hate and jealousy and some mediocre dude. Gross. Get it away from me.
Same thoughts exactly, except that I'm in Canada where we don't make a fuss about lesbians. Still, I couldn't escape it that summer because my mom really liked the song while it drove me crazy.
They had to make a bunch of bait-and-switch nonsense sounding like she was in love with a girl when really she wanted to _be_ her, but didn't make suitable metaphors? Regardless, I thought it was awfully _whiny_ sounding for something made by an adult woman.
You shouldn't like a song just because it has lesbians in it and plus the controversy was totally made up I personally hate the song not because its about lesbians but becuase its just dumb, pointless, and pretentious.
Daniel Clark
It's not a matter of "liking it because it was implying lesbians" but rather disliking it because it sounded like it was going to be edgier than it was.
Daniel Clark
That's what we were saying.
Master Markus then I apologize I didn't understand
Nicki Minaj is the definition of wasted potential. Her verse on Monster and her work before Young Money got her was just pure HIP HOP. But then the fact that she's hot as hell means that it's easier to market her doing poppy shit. She's getting better than she was in 2011, and Pinkprint wasn't bad, but she's got a long way to go. The worst part of Only was easily Lil Wayne and the beat, Drake is someone who I'm actually a fan of and he sucked on that song
+Jones Yeah, I think Nicki has potential (Drake's not bad either), but it's being drained away by garbage like Young Money or Lil Wayne. I hate seeing musicians who could do better participate a monstrosity like "Only" :/
^yeah, Drake honestly dropped one of the best mixtapes of this year
Sad part is Chris Brown's hook is the best part of Only. Only because its disconnected from all the bad punchlines and bored performances
I do enjoy Todd but I can't agree with him on Stupid Hoe and Anaconda. Like yeah, its understandable if he hates her pop sellout stuff but Minaj isn't untouchable if she's rapping. If her rap is bad, its still a bad song.
1. Stupid Hoe sucked because its an insult track with a tune that sounds like garbage while sounding childish
2. Anaconda sucked for being one of the worst uses of a sample, annoying chipmunk effects and the rambling outro
Her mixtapes were actually really good
Thank God. I thought I was alone in hating Girl Crush.
Thank tod.... In the shadows, maybe just thank satan
+WizeOaldOwl I think I've only ever heard one lesbian bait-and-switch song that I think actually worked in being surprising and that would be Sally Cinnamon by the Stone Roses,
which I don't even think really counts since it's a bait and switch in
the other direction.
ikr
+WizeOaldOwl As someone who has had plenty of platonic crushes on other women (Nicki Minaj, Jennamarbles, and Rachel Bloom happen to top that list at the moment), this song infuriated me. The whole point of a girl crush is that you love everything that girl IS. You want to be her, but also be her best friend/sister, and want her to follow you on Twitter and share memes and jokes, and possibly also want to kiss her if you get a few shots in. It's about HER . . . not about her ability to be a dick sheath for the guy she's actually interested in.
I'll admit the lesbian-baiting is not cool and is a problem inherent in the phrase "girl crush" -- it's a bit like the female version of "no homo" -- but it's annoying to see someone take a concept that's all about appreciating other women's awesomeness and turn it into another way for us to obsess over a man and hate other women in the process. It's like a twofer of dumbass misogyny.
silvertamagachi Agreed. This isn't a crush, it's envy. She doesn't give a shit about the other woman and wouldn't if she didn't have something (in this case some*one*) she wanted. It's dishonest and deliberately using the potentially interesting idea of bicuriosity in a country song to get interest. Fuck this song.
"I wanna taste her lips/ yeah, cause they taste like chips" is how I sing along to "Girl Crush"
In all honesty I would like to see a full edit of that song in that vein.
Chip Crush (In My Mouth)
The story behind the Nasty Freestyle is worse. The guy actually rapped over another group's song (the original being called simply "Nasty"). The freestyle is extremely more successful than the original.
+Brian Robinson Yeah, that's certainly rather scummy, all things considered.
Mate, rapping over other people's beats is a common thing to do in hip-hop. Nicki Minaj did it with Soulja Boy and Biggie (twice with the latter), Li'l Wayne did it with Playboi Carti and Joyner Lucas did it with Future. Getting mad about it is like getting mad about sampling - rather silly and a waste of time.
Girl Crush = "I KISSED A GIRL AND I LIKED IT" 2- Electric Boogaloo.
no not really because its not about a real girl crush
But she didn't like it
I kind of liked "Same Old Love" when I first heard it. I thought it had an extremely infectious beat, rhythm, and catchy yet minimalist instrumentation- and the vocals and lyrics were passable for a pop song. Funny, though. I actually had no idea that it was Selena Gomez. All this time, I actually assumed that it was Charlie XCX, only to find out in this video that she wrote this song.
I guess that proves just how bland of a performer and vocalist Selena Gomez truly is. She's not bad, really, but she's so uninspired and uninteresting. Not to mention that when she performs these songs, it's almost as if she's trying to mimic the vocal styles of other established female artists- like Rihanna, or in this case, Charlie XCX.
honestly same bc I loved the melody, beat, and rhythm even though I thought the lyrics were mediocre
Jamie Ryan Storey I honestly like Selena, and I’m probably the only one of Todd’s fan who does.
timothy, did you actually read the whole comment ?
i don't mind the song same old love
She was best when she was with The Scene, because she actually had personality
I’m watching your old videos while sheltering in place from the virus. “My Tiger has lymphoma” made me actually burst out in a giant laugh. I needed that, so thanks.
I used to play competitive yugioh, and there would always be this guy at the events with a Selena Gomez bad, play mat, shirt, and card sleeves. We called him the selena gomez stalker.
you're a man of culture, unlike that person
Unsettling lol 😭☝️💀
As a yugioh player myself i can say with confidence that weirdos like that are WAY too common for my likeing
The Lil' Wayne: Human Lizard jokes never stop being funny.
Pretty much because the former members of Young Money themselves played it so safe they became punchlines!
"Teehee, just kidding, no homo" had me almost spitting my drink from laughing.
"look at that dislike bar" something now from a completely different era of RUclips
I wonder if that makes Nicki happy?
@@alannahfisherman1321 depends on how much she prefers purely positive feedback
@@alannahfisherman1321I mean, the whole point of that song was that it was supposed to be bad, so probably?
The only real difference is that ppl complain about it a lot
After this list, I think Todd needs to introduce a "Vine Badge of Shame" for songs that became popular through Vine.
*music.ly
Tik Tok.
@@Bighomie39 ya
Ultimate was famous from vine and that tracks class
So far the only TikTok one he’s reviewed is Lil Naz
As a bisexual-words cannot describe how much Girl Crush's lyrics anger and offend me.
Honestly, as a fellow bisexual, I think this song would actually work if it was sung by a gay or bisexual man. The idea of wanting to be a straight woman so the man you have a crush on will like you back is a much more interesting.
The worst part of Dear Future Husband is that it just steals the tune exactly from Olly Murs song Dance With Me
Tbf, I'm not sure Americans particularly know who Olly Murs is
Hafsa Z I know.. but it still annoys me :(
Which basically stole its beat from "runaround Sue"
+ImaPlayThis I like the beat, the melody, her voice, the art direction in the music video, all that. The only thing I don't like is the lyrics since they make her out to be a high-maintenance bitch as a gf.
+thirteenfury That's why you should do your best to not pay any attention to lyrics. Doing so has ruined a great many songs from my childhood.
Yes! I actually found someone who hates Fight Song as much as I do! FINALLY!
+Mitch L (Mitten) ...In reference to part 2
+Mitch L (Mitten) You're not the only one that thinks that, and I think it should have been #1 on his list myself!
Crazy Luigi Trust me, NO ONE hates Fight Song as much as I do.
...Which kind of ruins my point, but you get the idea.
Mitch L Honestly, whatever hatred you have certainly equates to my hatred for it, especially due to the combination of commercials utilizing this song as a source of empowerment for some odd fucking reason combined with the fact that it's an ultimate example of how musicians could make it big by only putting in the most bare minimum amount of work possible!
Crazy Luigi Believe me, I am Fight Song's number one hater. My brother absolutely loves it for some reason, and so he forces me to listen to it whenever it comes on the radio, which was a lot. Needless to say, that didn't help. Now, that song makes me want to jump off a cliff.
I like how Ocean Man by Ween became a semi-meme; which made me want to listen to a lot more Ween, which is good. Good on the dank meme for finding Ween.
Jotaro?
Brittany Yates It was probably because of the spongebob movie, but I found out about it through Jojo’s memes.
Not to mention jack stauber. That's great.
I turned 21 last month and I'm already feeling too old for this shit...
I'm 18 and I feel too old for this shit!
I'm 13 and I feel too old for this shit
I'm 2 years old and I'm too old for this shit.
Undead Ladybug I've been here since the Jurassic period... I guess I really am too old for this shit.
I transcend physical reality, and cannot possess a true form within a 3-dimensional plane of existence, and i'm getting too old for this shit.
Now every time I hear "Same Old Love," I can't stop thinking how much infinitely better it would sound if Charli XCX sang it
Charli’s vocals are on the song, and her demo is available, as well as Rihanna’s. Selena did it best imo
10. Never heard this before, never want to hear it again.
09. I could live without this. Take away the lyrics and it sounds like a stereotypical prom slow-dance song. Actually, it sounds like they stole the sheet music to Unchained Melody and replaced the lyrics with this.
08. I cannot stand Nicki Minaj as a musician.
07. Never heard this one before this list either.
06. Oh dear F***ING god NO.
+Vercalos al'Corlin #10 was only popular because of a Vine craze similar to that of Hit The Quan.
Also, you can talk about songs 5-1 here since RUclips blocked the second part for some reason.
+Crazy Luigi
05. Umm.. No...
04. What.
03. Ugh. Looks like a Spicegirls reincarnate, only more annoying
02. Yawn.
For Honorable Mentions, I actually LIKE Maroon 5's Sugar
01. I don't think I've heard this before. I think I might have been happier before this
+Crazy Luigi wait part 2 was realised? where can i watch it if it isnt going up on here?
+111111hakar Check Todd's Vimeo Page. It should be there.

i got linked to it in a comment below this but thanks any way :3
That Nikki minaj song sounds like a fucking sex addict intervention of all three rappers impersonating Bill Clinton that he never had "sexual realations" with Monica Lewinksy XD
o shit waddup so true
My ex’s mom claimed to absolutely hate country, but she loved Girl Crush. It was so weird going to their house and hearing this being blasted next to their regular rotation of metal music and 90s grunge.
Am i the only one who kinda likes "Same Old Love?" I hate "Hands to Myself," but this song serves as a guilty pleasure for me.
It's the riff.
Same Old Love has a better riff and general sort of flow than Hands to Myself.
KrazyKat I like that song and Good for You (especially A$AP Rocky’s verse.) I’ll agree that Hands to Myself is bad (mostly due to the beat.)
Same for me.
I’m the opposite I liked hands to myself but hated same old love
"Part 2 only on vimeo."
Oh, and that thing in my sub box is . . . just a mirage?
Basically. Down for copyright. Got it within 10 minutes
+crazyinsane500 It's in mine too, but I click it and get a "WMG has blocked this video because they are morons" message.
Megan Is becoming macey grey Justin Timberlake is becoming Micheal Buble wtf is this the 'normal music becomes mom music' stage of my life
But.....neither of those artists are bad.
10. Should have been higher
9. It's kind of bland, but that's it.
8. It's pretty bad.
7. Not as bad as the previous three, in my opinion
6. Almost as bad as All About That Bass
If you thought number six was bad you have probably never heard Me Too (ughhhh)
@@jordy4263 as bad as each other IMO. Along with “No”
I had a rough week. My gf cheated on me, my grandpas in the hospital, and I'm a Vikings fan (not much more to say about that). And this video made my day and I thank you for that Todd!
Hope things are better 8 years later

8:57-9:01 That is the most unintentionally funny line I've heard in a dirty rap song
How have I never heard of you before Todd? Bc now I can’t get enough of your videos. You’re hilarious man
Here are my thoughts (Part 1):
10. Never heard of it.
9. Never heard of this either.
8. Good fucking Lord.
7. This songs meh and I never even knew it was written by Charlie XCX. Which now makes perfect sense.
6. Yeah I kinda saw this coming.
Can't wait for part 2!
+MitchNin10dofan Part 2 is in the description for Vimeo thanks to WMG blocking Part 2 for whatever reason.
My continuation of my opinions (Part 2):
5. No surprise seeing it here. Also I makes me cringe seeing kids dance to this song.
4. Yes
YES!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING HIS SONG ON THE LIST!!!!
3. GOOD! This song is absolute shit and deserves to be this high.
2. Well I kinda saw this coming and I'll admit, it's pretty generic and bland.
1. Okay I was kinda expecting this to be on the list but not at this spot. Also if I ever see them kiss again I'm gonna vomit harder.
As for the honorable mentions I agree with all of them. Though I would have expected that stupid Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea song to be there, as well as that Madonna song.
Overall great lost with these shit songs!
+90sandearly00srule1 or maybe.... They can do whatever the hell they want? Who made you god of the comment section?
+MitchNin10dofan I can already tell that, for 2016, if it becomes a smash hit, Todd will not enjoy I Know What You Did Last Summer by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello from 5th Harmony.
The more of these Young Money tracks I hear where they argue over which one gets to bang "the girl one", the more YM sound to me like one of those incestuous hilbilly tribes from a horror film. Except they'd probably be more respectful to the women they sleep with, and "Three Finger" is a much better rap name than "Gudda Gudda".
Grocery bag
Well, Chris Bown has finally finished his turn to the dark-side.
+Alex Shannon I think that was completed the moment he did that Rihanna case and then released Deuces soon afterwords.
Crazy Luigi Nah, that was just the start. Did you SEE his yellow eyes in the "Only" video?
Oh; that was completed the moment he released "Run It".
*Chris Brown breaks up with Nicki Minaj, then Selena Gomez, then Meghan Trainor by beating them up like they were objects, they all go to prison for acting up like bad-tempered whiners*
damn it, I just commented the same comment
All I have to say about "Marvin Gaye" is this: Even Pat Boone wasn't *this* whitebread. It couldn't be worse in this department unless it were sung by Michael Buble and Debbie Boone.
At least Michael Buble is fun.
Alan Smithee mehhhh. The way I see it, he's the modern equivalent of Pat Boone.
"Selena Gomez is a pop star for the same reason that Jeb Bush is running for president, what else are they gonna do"
No Todd, you can't be positive or to the right! Quick, get Jason DeRulo, Lil' Wayne, Florida Georgia Line, David Guetta and Flo Rida on the radio, stat!
Here it is: CHEYENNEEEE!
+Caz Actually, 3 of those had top 10 hits. And the weren't even that bad somehow.
+Caz Quick, to the 2014 mobile!
Don't worry. 2016 happened
"and not a teenager who calls her ass her boom boom"
OMG THANK YOU! That's what bothers me so much: her obsession with that. If she gave a "love yourself" message in her song, then yeah, I'd be fine with it, but she called people who didn't have that base "skinny bitches" when I can tell you that I have multiple friends who are thinner than me that were bullied because of their small size.
If you go back to another year, please tear into her "Lips are Movin'" song because that is THE most annoying song of hers and is what made me unable to listen to her music due to it being CONSTANTLY spammed in EVERY SINGLE AD THAT PLAYED ON HULU, in addition to it being played in EVERY STORE I WALKED INTO THE YEAR IT CAME OUT.
Also I just realized something: oddly both Imagine Dragons and Selina Gomez seem to sing exclusively show tunes that aren't from any show at all.
the idea of Todd being annoyed at vines is fucking hilarious in hindsight
8:20-8:23 "If you have to explain the joke, THERE IS NO JOKE!"
The "I don't fuck with you!" transition is hilarious!
THE ONLY SELENA SONG I'VE EVER LIKED. DAMMIT
Megatron845 Same friend!
No wonder i like it. It was supposed to be Charlie XCX's!
Mega I honestly like Selena, and I’m probably the only fan of Todd’s that does.
Yeah......
watching this video in 2024 where all these mediocre songs blow up from tiktok is funny
The Jeb Bush joke killed me, you're awesome 👌🏻
+Abigail English I died when I hear that XD
Same Old Love is terrible, but that music video was very well shot.
Joshua Fagan I like the production, but Selena Gomez is just the most boring singer out there.
Oh you have no idea how pleased I am with your number one choice, Todd. I first heard that song at a small pub I had a gig at. I almost dropped my guitar involuntarily by the horror my eardrums had just absorbed.
Great work as always.
+Sammy Duke Honestly, I felt the same way with numbers three and two myself, although I thought #2 should have been #1 due to it feeling like the ultimate nothing song that showcases that if you want to succeed as a musician, you don't have to put in any really effort at all anymore! Fuck that garbage.
And by the end of 2016 Vine is dead. No more Vine hits.
SonofMrPeanut THANK THE LORD!
Vine deserved to die. It was fucking annoying, and it had no reason to exist. It was utterly useless.
Raptor Looks like someone's a salty Vine fan.
Raptor its better than liking vine
Oof
This comment didn't age
In hindsight Todd ranting about vine hits is painful considering how music gets big if its on tiktok now. Sad times.
Yup lol that really aged well

FOR PART 2 OF THIS VIDEO, GO HERE:

+Todd in the Shadows Thanks Todd, sorry about the hits....
+Todd in the Shadows You should consider 6 second reviews. At least they won't take down vids for copyright.
thank you based senpai
+Todd in the Shadows That was impressively fast, even for the establishment.
+Todd in the Shadows I knew something wasn't right here! Anyways, I'll give my thoughts on the Bottom 5 songs of 2015 (and the dishonorable mentions) right after I finish the video in question.
Poor Todd, hated bad music pushed by dumb video trends and now basically pop music is dominated only by them
I'll admit that Niki Minaj is pretty bad but she's always been a guilty pleasure for me. In the case of Only, it's the only song by Niki I hate.
+darkforces Nicki isn't bad as a whole, she just has bad songs and bad moments.
+darkforces She's pretty hit or miss from what I've heard. But in my experience her worst stuff is bad because of another artist. She's a talented singer with a great range but when she collaborates with much less talented artists it drags the song down. Of course I don't follow chart music or her career enough to hear much of the good stuff.
Nicki is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine too and I liked some of her songs this year like "hey mama". But it kills me how much Todd seems to like her, especially how much he liked "Anaconda". That's one of the Nicki songs that I can find nothing redemptive in. I hate it far more than "only". It's nothing but a noisy, over sampled mess that confuses "female empowerment" with "being a drug dealers whore so he'll buy you pretty shoes".
+darkforces She is guilty pleasure for Todd also, but Drake just ruined the song.
Rynn's Ramblings Honestly I think in terms of music alone my only issue with Anaconda is the sampling since I never really cared for Baby Got Back. Meanwhile despite the poor lyrics I do think Nicki's singing and the melody are pretty decent and I can see why Todd had it as an honorable mention for both his best and worst list that year.
Great work Todd! I look forward to your year-end lists every year! However, the day that RUclips makes Content ID stop taking down fair-use reviews (such as part 2 of this list) is a day that can’t come soon enough.
Here are my thoughts about the songs on this entire list:
10. If RUclips was a rose with thorns, Vine is a cactus with lots of spikes. This song really has no foundation, and it’s only relevant because of the people who click on these six-second clips of people dancing to the song. And this is coming from someone who’s in the same age demographic as the people who initiate this kind of behavior as well as having miniscule attention spans.
9. I never really heard this song all that much, so I can’t really say anything about this song.
8. Nicki Minaj, I’m sure that most people who listen to the lyrics in this atrocious song can figure out the punchline in “I don’t duct nobody but tape”. No need to say “Yeah, that was a setup, for a punchline on duct tape”.
Chris Brown, if there was a version of this song without the chorus, it would be better since
1. I would hear less n-bombs in this song
2. The song would be shorter, meaning that I wouldn’t have to hear this song for as song since it is extremely awful.
3. I wouldn’t have to hear Chris Brown, the woman-beater and uneducated fool on the Internet.
Drake, your verses were absolutely pathetic. I wonder if you were under the influence of drugs or if you had to do the verse when you didn’t want to, since your lyrics were just plain embarrassing.
Lil Wayne, after Bitches Love Me, I don’t want to hear you rap sleazy, misogynistic, and really questionable lyrics in a top 25 song.
7. This would be one of the only songs that I disagree with you on. I think that Selena Gomez going for a rougher edge in this song was great in capturing the desperation in wanting to find a relationship that’s different and will work out, and the production has an exotic vibe, at least for me. To be fair, the points you made in this song were pretty solid. And hey, if Charli XCX actually sang this song, it would be better.
6. When I release part 2 of my top ten worst hit songs of 2015, I’ll explain more about why I hate this song as much as I do, but I’ll say now that this is outrageously immature and not only sends the message that girls should be controlling and materialistic to future husbands (to be fair, men should not do horrible things to women either, because the things men could do to women range from equally bad to way worse), it also acts as a slap in the face to true feminism. Feminism is defined as “The advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.” Demanding men to buy things for you, take the blame in an argument, and neglecting the man’s family is NOT feminism by any means. One of the very few songs that would get a 0/10 rating from me and that is saying a lot.
5. Hey look, another song that got popular thanks to be thorny rose that is RUclips as well as the spiky cactus that is Vine! Just what we wanted, a dance song that’s the most unoriginal one yet that outright steals from other songs, such as Stanky Leg, Crank That, and other dances that I don’t want to ever have to think about! Basically, this song completely sucks, and I’m just waiting for it to drop out of the Billboard Hot 100 as I type this. I’m not saying much here, since this song does not deserve the unfair overdose of popularity it got.
4. Somehow I feel more apart in my opinion, since of all the critics I’ve seen that made ten worst songs of 2015 lists until now, I’ve never seen Bad Blood get much dislike. It feels reliving to see someone else put this song on their list, since this song is indeed Taylor Swift’s worst song yet. The worst part is that she’s clearly capable of self-awareness on songs like Blank Space (I didn’t really like it that much, but I can see the positive elements in this song) and Wildest Dreams (her best song in a long time), and then she just becomes completely obnoxious, immature, whiny, and completely un-self-aware of her own actions. The stretching out of the syllable in the chorus are completely insufferable, and if this song is about the Katy Perry feud, writing songs about feuds with other celebrities is just a waste of studio time, since the feuds become irrelevant very fast. Also, you know a song is atrocious when Kendrick Lamar delivers his worst verse on this remix that just happens to become a number 1 hit and not other great Kendrick Lamar songs, like Swimming Pools and i.
3. This song is narcissistic and Fifth Harmony, just why do you feel entitled to be worth the man’s time? There’s no rational explanation in this song, and Kid Ink does not improve this song in any way. At the end of the say, this song is not worth it.
2. I can’t muster up any hatred against this forgetful song. I will say that this is indeed a very recycled self-empowerment anthem, right down to the title. But I just can’t really hate it all that much.
Dishonorable mention 1: For a song called Sugar, it’s the most tasteless song Maroon 5 has put out so far.
Dishonorable mention 2: Oh, another Vine artist? His name is O. T. Genasis? Well, I’m done. I don’t have time for those who become famous solely because of Vine at this point. Moving on.
Dishonorable mention 3: This song is number 1 right now. I’m a little sick of Bieber at this point, and this song is even more forgettable than What Do You Mean.
Dishonorable mention 4: All I can say is, at least it’s more original than some of the other dance songs out there.
Dishonorable mention 5: Not good, but not exactly horrible either. It’s just right in the middle of mediocrity.
Dishonorable mention 6: This is the other song that I disagree, since I think Nick Jonas basically turned his music career around with this song after the hellish disaster that was Jealous.
Dishonorable mention 7: I keep forgetting this song exists, and I’ve never really paid attention to this song.
Dishonorable mention 8: So, who’s Rock City again? And who’s the artist featured again? Never mind, it doesn’t matter to me.
1. I’ve seen a lot of people despise this song, and I myself don’t like it, but I can’t hate this song with the same passion that other people have (see Spectrum Pulse). Is it the whitest and least sexy sex song that makes Marvin Gaye spin in his grave? That’s easy to believe. It’s quite immature and Charlie and Meghan do sound like they don’t know much about sex, but you know what? I’d take a sterile sex song over a song that can take society further back into their double standards of men and women.
I love that "duck tape" line. It makes me laugh every time.
Hey Todd. Love your stuff. Your top 10's are literally the only videos I eagerly anticipate every year. Keep up the good work. :)
And wow, I think every worst of 2015 list had Marvin Gaye, Dear Future Husband, Only and Fight Song on them.
+Shatzy Shell Spectrum Pulse is the only one I've seen not include Fight Song. He actually said in the beginning of his video that the song was just boring but not enough to make the list. His list also had the top 3 be 1. Dear Future Husband 2. Marvin Gaye 3. Only lol
I remember hearing about the "Girl Crush" controversy and thinking it was a prime example of the dangers of leaving something made for the general public open to interpretation, now of corse I realize that both sides were homophobic. Actually, I really wanna hear a male singer cover it, cuz then it actually WOULD be about sexual confusion.
"Girl Crush" sounds like a country song I heard back in 2005 called "Good-Hearted Man." Weird.
I see you on all these videos
Whats up with Chris Browns Sith Eyes in that Niki Minage song ?
My favourite thing about number 8 is that in the official lyric video Chris Brown is basically depicted as an SS officer. The lack of self awareness kills me
i swore your number one pick would be trap queen(also,you missed the oportunity to make a "fight song" joke with the Marilyn Manson song.) great list
Felipe Syderas The Manson version is great. Holy Wood is a masterpiece. I can't wait for Heaven Upside Down.
Felipe Syderas I think real queen was a joke song
I think part 2 is lost, it's not up on vimeo
10. It sucked quite a bit
9. I wouldn't have placed it on my worst list but wasn't she talking about how she wanted the same personalities of said woman?
8. Oh yeah this was all just a train wreck in all ways
7. I couldn't say anything other than what you said.
6. Ewwww. This is just craziness in all wrong ways
+The Iconic Critic As for songs 5-1 on Vimeo?
The king has come to claim his throne.
How the most idiotic conspiracy theory ever was created;
David Icke: What...is that?
Lil Wayne: (starts rapping)
David Icke: LIZARD LIZARD LIZARD LIZARD LIZARD!!!!
"Shouldn't he be off fighting Captain Kirk or something?"
This made me laugh for a while.
Some random thoughts covering both parts of the review:
1. I hate you for reminding me that that "doo dah doo dah dee" song exists, but I'm glad that you've given me another reason to hate Silento.
2. The album version of "Bad Blood" is pretty toothless and the melody is the same in both versions, but it's at least 5x better than that remix.
3. Mendes got popular playing covers and originals on Vine; make of that what you will.
4. "Chains" is the last of Nick Jonas's recent songs that I would put on a worst list or honorable mentions, since I'm sure I've never heard it whereas I've heard the atrocious "Levels" more times than I can count.
5. Overall, my only major complaint/disagreement is that "Stitches" should have made my whole top 5.
11:56 you know you have no talent when you have to use someone else's backing track for your song, original song is Runaround Sue - Dion
love that song
quick watch it before copyright takes hold!!!!
same
+TheWolfGuardians9000 I don't think part 2 was released yet
record timing lol
+Sami Jackson It is and its already Down
I'm not sure how he still has this channel honestly. He's gotten way more than 3 copyright strikes.
Todd: "why am I the only one who waits for the year to end to upload lists?"
also Todd: *worst lists of 2019 and 2020 are uploaded in their respective December*
I came for the T-Wayne rant
Totally worth it
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Todd. You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this video.
Speaking as a bisexual woman who grew up on country music I was not particularly impressed by girl crush
I've been waiting so long for this
"Shouldn't he be off fighting Captain Kirk or something?" Omg
Personally, I don't mind waiting just a little bit longer to get a more complete list, plus it's something to look forward to at the start of the new year. Great vid as always. :)
The queerbaiting alone is infuriating, but "I got a girl crush" in this context basically translates to; "She doesn't deserve you, I DESERVE YOU!" Such a disgusting fucking song.
The song is just creepy. It literally sounds like she wants to peel this girl's skin off and wear it. I think it would honestly work as a dark rock song and leaned into the weird
I don't even identify as a lesbian anymore but it makes me want to again for a few minutes just so I can be maximum offended by this song's existence.
I still think the “yeah that was a setup for a punchline on duck tape” is so stupid it’s absolutely hilarious
Can we talk about how young thug made made a sequel to someone else's album
First time on this channel.. Bingeing!! You're epic and hilarious
I'm watching these backwards from 2018 lmao he's stayed the exact same throughout
"Look at this dislike bar !"
Me in 2022 : well, I wish I could...
After hearing Todd complain about getting famous through Vine, I can only imagine how TikTok "hits" make him feel
I mean I know he liked Old Town Road. Not sure about any others...
While you said at the start that you think this was a good year for pop music, my opinion of it is... meh.
I find it interesting, you liked this year but hated 2014. 2014 had so many memorable tracks that are still well known today. Blank space, uptown funk, rather be, break free, anaconda, turn down for what, etc.
My issue with 2015 is that its just been.... bland. Admittedly Im not a great lover of pop, but the songs up above left an impact and were interesting, or stirred up controversy. Even as someone who isnt a fan of pop music, these were big songs which even I knew how they went or at least what they were about.
This year... god, I cant even remember many songs which made even a slight impact. I spent like 30 mins while watching your videos trying to remember any songs from this year. Here is my list:
-A song which was really slow and had two people dancing (where we are?)
-A song about a cheerleader which seemed to be two lines on loop over not even an interesting beat
-Hotline Bling (which only got popular because of Drakes dancing)
-What do you mean by Justin Beiber
Christ, when Justin Fucking Beiber is the only pop artist this year that made a song which I actually can appreciate artistically, and 2/4 of the songs I can actually remember I dont know the name of, it just goes to show how bland a year this was for pop music. Otherwise, its either white guys with accoustic guitars or shitty trap beats.
All I can hope is that WGWAG and trap dont merge into an abomination in 2016.
Holy shit if Charli XCX did "Same Old Love", it would've been on repeat, like Selena really sounds like the market brand Charli XCX on that hook. Especially listening to her new stuff, Charli is a pop music godsend, and she's really cool.
Being 22, over the last few years I have begun to experience that uneasy sense of the world growing less familiar as the present moves further and further away from how I knew it during my childhood and adolescence. Todd's older videos strike that nerve. His segment on the song that blew up on Vine, what a trip.
I need a full cover by Todd of Love Me Like You Do on piano
I Liked, Commented and Subscribed.
P.S. Please work on more CineMadonna! I re watch those videos like crazy and I have a feeling the next one is going to be awesome. Please and thank you Todd.
"Look at that dislike bar" I wish we still could 😔
There's a chrome and Firefox extension
At least Nicki Minaj is probably happy about it. I like to think.
