10. All American Rejects - Move Along: I had to make room for at least one awful pop/punk group, and this one with the cheesy lyrics and children's chorus will do just fine.
9. Hinder - Lips Of An Angel: "WAAAAAH, I have to decide between my girlfriend and my mistress and it's tearing me apart, what ever will I do?" How about shutting your trap and crying about it where no one can hear you, like maybe a dumpster or something?
8. Dem Franchize Boyz - Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It / Nelly - Grillz / Yung Joc - It's Goin' Down / Young Dro - Shoulder Lean (tie): The dumbing down of hip-hop continues with all of these awful songs, which just go to show you that any lunkhead with a vocabulary of a 3 year old can have a rap career as long as they have a "hot" beat behind them.
7. Nickelback - Far Away: Never liked these pop/rock dullards, and this simpering ballad makes them look even more like a bunch of corporate rock cupcakes.
6. Danity Kane feat. Yung Joc - Show Stopper / Pussycat Dolls feat Snoop Dogg - Buttons: These groups are really talented - and by talented I mean really good at looking like they strut their stuff around the Red Light District. Vocals, music, lyrics, rapping - everything about these songs suck.
5. Fergie - London Bridge: What did we expect from the bimbo that brought us last year's most awful song of all time. Yeah, there's more where that came from. She can't even spell "duchess" correctly" Do us all a favor, Fergie: Retire.
4. Ashlee Simpson - L.O.V.E.: I love how she talks about being mature and sophisticated, yet she comes out with something that sounds just like a Hilary Duff or Britney Spears song. Probably the worst song by the lip-syncing sensation, and that says a lot.
3. Cassie - Me & U: Yeah, this song is "hot". Hot like Antarctica. Tired beat that sounds like it was lifted from the '80s, weak singing, bad lyrics and grammatically incorrect title. It's rather crap as far as I'm concerned.
2. Evanescence - Call Me When You're Sober: The rock stations actually subject us to this, which is terrible. Commercial anxiety on display: A re-write of "Bring Me To Life" without the white-boy rapper, really cheesy multi-tracked vocals that give it an '80s corporate rock sound (like Heart meets Journey), and lyrics that make you think that Amy Lee was raised by Neanderthals. Worse yet, she still pretends to be gothic. Bauhaus, Sisters Of Mercy and Type O Negative are gothic - your band is just a lame hybrid of Kelly Clarkson and Linkin Park.
There's a tie for # 1...
1. Jibbs - Chain Hang Low: Maybe we should be easy on him because he's young. Nah, maybe not. Rhymes so weak they were probably on Nelly's cutting-room floor, a children's chorus co-opting "Do Your Ears Hang Low?", and a generic beat that might as well be from that hack Scott Storch (is it?). Actually makes Lil Bow Wow and Lil Romeo sound cool.
1. Nick Lachey - What's Left Of Me: Great, milk your failed relationship for song fodder and cry about it like your life is coming to an end. Everything about this song is pure cheese, from the overwrought arrangements to the pained singing and the horrible lyrics. Does anyone honestly believe that Lachey is "going out of [his] mind"? I can't believe people like this awful song.
1. Jessica Simpson - A Public Affair: While Lachey is crying, Jessica is partying like it's 1983. That's because this song is a blatant ripoff of Madonna's "Holiday". Add to that a really cheesy video, unintelligent lyrics and weak vocals and you've got a real loser.
1. Paris Hilton - Stars Are Blind: I don't think I need to tell you why this song is awful. And it would be every bit as awful if Gwen Stefani were performing it as well.
