Worst Songs of 2000

Over the next 10 weeks, we'll be featuring the worst songs from each year this decade. We'll be counting down the absolute worst songs to come out each year from 2000 to 2009, and we'll be bringing back all of the songs you wish you'd forgotten. These are the songs that people just can't seem to believe exist, because they're just so terrible. There is a good mixture of guilty pleasures (the awfully funny) and complete crapfests (the awful with no merit). At the end of the 10 weeks, you'll have an opportunity to vote on the worst song of the decade.

This week, starting off the decade, here are the 10 worst songs of 2000:

10. Macy Gray - I Try
Now honestly, this song isn't that bad. In fact, it's kind of good. But Macy Gray's voice is a thing of sheer terror. The fact that no one stopped her from releasing her own songs is a testament to the sad state of the music industry. Had someone else sung this song? It probably could have been a bigger hit. But the irony is that the song won a Grammy for Best Female Vocal Performance. Were the Grammy voters drunk the night they voted or was it a VFTW Victory?
