May the Worst song win

Rikand

First song to reach 5 votes advances

No need for a reason at this point, though people are always welcome to give theirs


Reminder :: You are voting for the worst song in each one of these matches



Preliminary Round/Match 1

Velvet Underground - Rock and Roll

Vs

Richie Kavanagh - Aon Focal Eile

"Hi Rikand. Rock and Roll by the Velvet Underground is a song performed by a band that couldn't play, fronted by a man who couldn't sing for people who didnt care. The production sucks. The lyrics are awful. These poseurs were boosted by the same crowd that boosted Andy Warhol's work on the same basis- talent is overrated, get attention by utilising your societal connections and some mugs somewhere will buy the product. It is the worst song of all time in conception, formation, execution, recording and in the fact that along with the rest of their work it found an audience to fawn over it. The world is a worse place for it having come into existence and gets a little worse any time it is played. Im angry just thinking about it. Thanks for listening.
"

Stupid song from a stupid man who looks like he should be on some sort of watchlist. A favourite of drunken arseholes when it was first released.

Preliminary Round/Match 2

Jan Terri - Skyrockets

Vs

Silent A3 - Watch Me

I want to introduce cult musician Jan Terri to a wider audience. Her music is only surpassed by her low-budget videos.

Meaningless lyrics, and everyone in the video trying to be something they are not in an effort to be uber cool. F Right Off.

Preliminary Round/Match 3

Soulja Boy - Crank That

Vs

F.U.S.B.I - Come on Back

Hated everything about this. The chorus, the lyrics, the oversized outfits. EVER.Y.THING But most espicially that horrible xylophone note throughout.

Preliminary Round/Match 4

Kid Rock - All Summer Long

Vs

Mark Gormley - Without You

Velvet Underground - Rock and Roll Vs Richie Kavanagh - Aon Focal Eile
Jan Terri - Skyrockets Vs Silent A3 - Watch Me
Soulja Boy - Crank That Vs F.U.S.B.I - Come on Back
Kid Rock - All Summer Long Vs Mark Gormley - Without You

Irish Aris

OMG. . .
Some of these are really god awful. . . Rikand, you are a hero, sorry we put you through this hahaha

Match 1: Richie Kavanagh (I like some of the Velvet Underground, wouldn't have them anywhere near a worst song competition)
Match 2: Silent A3
Match 3: F.U.S.B.I. (these are both really really bad)
Match 4: Mark Gormley (really really poor aesthetic overall)

Mark Gormley - Without You

Voting for the above three as they're worse imo.

I actually don't hate that Kid Rock song

Ok well then

1. Richie Kavanagh, because Rock and Roll, although not the Velvet Underground's best, is still a good song.

3. Soulja Boy, because crap with a high production budget is even worse than crap made by amateurs.
4. Kid Rock, for same reason as #3

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Richie Kavanagh - Aon Focal Eile ; don't mind the Velvet Underground one at all. I did consider nominating Aon Focal Eile myself, but there were far worse to put in ahead of it, but its still awful so gets my vote here

Silent A3 - Watch Me ; while both are truly awful, this one offends my ears slightly more

Soulja Boy - Crank That ; Come On Back is a terrible performance, but there's the nugget of a decent song there, same can't be said for Crank That so it gets my vote

Mark Gormley - Without You ; I actually like All Summer Long, so can't vote for it, and I'm not hating Without You if I'm being honest, it's got a certain quality to it that I enjoy, but of the two it is definitely the worst song

Tough, but can't vote against Jan.

F.U.S.B.I Come on Back
I like the Soulja Boy song.

Mark Gormley Without You

Same as this poster. God I hate Richie Kavanagh.

Yet that Jan Terri song brought me untold joy. I'm not sure if I love the video or the audio more.

Next set coming shortly. Still need more votes on matches 2 and 3

I'm perplexed that Rock And Roll made it into this competition at all

Out of matches 2 and 3, I'd choose Skyrockets and Crank That

Preliminary Round/Match 5

Dennis Waterman & George Cole - What are we gonna get 'er indoors

Vs

Cliff Richard - Congratulations

Why I Hate It: This song should have died with the 1968 Eurovision and never been heard again, but instead it evolved into an entity of its own to torture us at weddings, birthdays, retirements, etc for eternity

Jenna Rose - My Jeans ; this is dreadful. Hadn't heard it before, but instantly hated it. I don't mind What Does The Fox Say

Armi & Danny - I Wanna Love You Tender ; yeah, love Wonderwall, it's that simple. I Wanna Love You Tender is grand, but Wonderwall is fantastic, so have to vote Armi & Danny the worst of these two

DJ Otzi - Hey Baby ; another of my nominations. I can hear how awful Lit Right Now is, but Hey Baby is far far worse, and I do want to punch something everytime I hear it.

#6 Jenna Rose - My Jeans as I actually quite like What Does The Fox Say
#8 DJ Otzi - Hey Baby. Absolutely awful.

Not enough people are showing hate towards Congratulations and it's upsetting me. Hate on it! Hate on it, as much as I do! It's the worst!!!

Kolido

The Darkness - Believe in a thing called love, another of my noms

Bagatelle - Somewhere in Europe, like the other song

Counting Crows - Big Yellow Taxi, both are decent, like the other a bit more.

PsychoPete

Daphne & Celeste - U.G.L.Y gets my vote, Believe in a thing called love I quite like
Bagatelle - Somewhere in Europe
Chuck Berry - My Ding-A-Ling
Counting Crows - Big Yellow Taxi Vs New Radicals - Get what you give. I like the both of these but I'll go with New Radicals

Daphne & Celeste - even though I'm not a big fan of the Darkness it's at least a proper song.
Bagatelle - I love a good Eurovision tune but this is so overly-earnest that the cringe factor is too high to bear this.
Ronan Keating - because Ronan Keating *vomit emoji*
Counting Crows - a completely dreadful cover that literally nobody ever asked for .

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Daphne & Celeste - U.G.L.Y ; in fairness to Daphne & Celeste they have one or two solid tunes in their repertoire, but this ain't one of them. Also, I like The Darkness one

Bagatelle - Somewhere in Europe ; its such a dull boring song, at least I'll Be Missing You ripped off a decent hook from The Police

Chuck Berry - My Ding-A-Ling ; two dreadful songs, but the other one is mostly just boring, this one is bad on so many other levels

Counting Crows - Big Yellow Taxi ; I like both these songs, but Counting Crows' own songs are much much better than this lackluster cover would lead people to believe and I think Big Yellow Taxi could deter people from giving Counting Crows a proper chance, as it is certainly their worst song.

Pras - Ghetto Superstar ; I don't consider either of these to be bad songs, but definitely prefer Tubthumping, so Ghetto Superstar gets my vote

Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven ; Wow! How either of these amazing songs got nominated is beyond me, but I love Fly Away so regretfully I'm gonna vote for Stairway To Heaven as its a tad overrated.

Paris Hilton - Stars Are Blind ; absolute garbage

Jan Terri - Rock N Roll Santa ; I love Yellow, so this would get my vote by default, but I also hate Christmas. Jan Terri as an artist is growing on me after the songs included so far though

I had never heard of Jan Terri until this evening. Now I feel like I know her whole back catalogue.

Blurred Lines is crap, but Swagger Jagger is worse.

Chumbawumba - Tubthumping, my nom, its god awfull, getto superstar is a great tune.
Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven, another of mine, overrated cr@p
Paris Hilton - Stars are blind, kinda like this tune, but not more than american pie. Did someone nominate the wrong version?
Jan Terri - Rock N Roll Santa, not familiar with this but that coldplay song is good.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Alison Gold - Chinese Food ; what the actual f**k was that...

Westlife - You Raise Me Up ; I don't mind Westlife in general and there are far worse songs out there than even this, but not a fan of You Raise Me Up, and You're Gorgeous is enjoyable fare

Elmo and Patsy - Grandma Got Run Over by the Reindeer ; terrible song altogether, and Jan Terri doesn't actually sound that bad (is she the act that got 9 nominations?)

Cher Lloyd - Swagger Jagger ; what genius thought, hey that song Oh My Darling Clementine is really sh*te, so lets sample that and make it even more annoying. This is the first time I've listened to it and I already despise it more than a couple of my own nominations. Blurred Lines is rapey as f**k, but if you ignore the lyrics, the tune itself isn't terrible
