Worst Pop Artist Ever?

 :omg:

I heard this the other day. I died a little inside. And when you think it can't get worse:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3taEuL4EHAg  (It does)

Fyi, this is not an "ALL POPULAR MUSIC SUX" thread. Although I don't listen to the genre much, there are some good singers in there somewhere at least. This is just a new low. Seriously, there are a generation of kids that like this- and that scares me for our future.

Yeah, there was a thread regarding this song's use in a Simpsons episode.

Needless to say, people raged.

Me? I usually defend things like this, but this song, in my opinion, is irredeemable. Pop can be interesting, and the singers can have talent (believe it or not, metalheads). But this? It's just some whore talking through autotune over an uninspired, headache-inducing electronic beat with BrokeNCYDE-esque lyrics. I know that, in the end, pop is just supposed to be simple songs with catchy hooks that are to the point, nothing revolutionary (and there's nothing wrong with that, really), but nothing here grabs me.

We have this local radio station that is absolutely committed to spamming the hell out of every popular song that was released within 6 months. It's always playing on the bus, and when I remove my headphones after a good death metal session it makes me want to kill the driver. Horrible, horrible music people are listening to these days.
Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

It's not that bad.  It's catchy and simple; it can get a lot worse.

Same here and I'm wondering what kind of fucking new policy is it on youtube that bans some videos from certain countries. Copyright grounds? Wtf? It's a video containing classified US data?

I know I'm not missing anything right here, but it's a general thought.

I meant regarding things that actual chart, of course there's worse music than the song in the OP (the majority of songs in the genres of black metal and power metal, for example).

It was terrible, like the rest of the autotunecore crap that gets posted under "pop is crap" titles.  The part that got my attention is in the blah blah video, the scene where she is bowling you can see that she has a Metallica shirt on.  I'm not sure how I feel about it.

BTW, I wouldn't mind seeing her in a video again; I would just prefer it if she was wearing nothing but a ball gag in a porno flick.

They need an entire episode as a music video for CoT.

Anyway, on topic... Arcaeus, I agree with you for the most part- I like certain pop artists, but when I came across this I was pretty dumbfounded.

Pure Poetry:
And now, the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger

That verse is possibly one of the worst two lines I've heard. You know the songwriters were thinking: "Shit, what rhymes with swagger?"

But we all know the ladies turn down anyone who doesn't look like this

Dunno about the worst, but the best pop artist is Micheal Jackson for sure.

EDIT: Oh wait, you're talking about Ke$ha. Yup, she's the embodiment of everything that's wrong with Pop Music nowadays.

Also, I agree with this:

The genre itself isn't excruciating. Hell, even this song's not mindnumbingly awful - it's just very dull. It's another tawdry addition to an oversubscribed sector of the market. Lady Gaga is one of the people who makes this kind of music quite well. Paparazzi is a really well-written, catchy song. But right now there are umpteen female, electroniccy solo artists, and Ke$ha doesn't add anything new except an extra helping of shallow. She's not the worst ever by any means, just... one female synthy-thing too many. It's like "okay, we get the picture. What else have you got? Anything? Please?"

I'm not sure if she might be a parody. She's got to be a pisstake. Surely.



I actually reviewed her album for the student newspaper. It wasn't a positive review.
