VFTW Radio 10/21/09 with Special Guests Ann Rivall and Cailley Hammel
Vote for the Worst Presents: The 10 Worst Songs of 2001
Each week, 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.
2001 brought out some terrible music that you probably haven't thought of since then. Well, here's a trip down memory lane with the awful songs you had to endure on the radio in 2001.
10. Nsync - Pop
Bragging about how your group is amazing and your style of music is the best should be reserved for hip hop. When 5 white kids did it, you knew the result would be hilarious, and this song didn't disappoint. Justin Timberlake sings about how Nsync's style of music is not a trend... only to have this be the group's last album. Even the producer of the song, BT, said, "I couldn't believe that they played that on the radio, much less that it was a single and a hit." That makes two of us.
Adam Lambert - Time for Miracles Video

The soot all over his face suits him, since is covers up his nasty skin. If the world ends and everyone dies, can Adam go with them?
Details Magazine Posts Adam Lambert Story Online
The story we'd already linked to last week from Details Magazine is now available online. It's even more pathetic than we imagined. The tagline to the article is "Why does every woman in America want to sleep with the American Idol?" Ladies, we'll let you respond to that one. Adam is still trying to pretend he likes to make out with women sometimes so that he can sell records to the Sparkle Cows. Dude, grow a backbone. He also mentions that he likes his men "smaller and younger." Direct quote. The funniest part of the article is the ad on the side where you can enter to win your very own photo shoot with Adam Lambert. The pictures resulting from a Sparkle Cow engulfing Adam should be a VFTW victory of massive proportions. Pun intended.
The X-Factor Delivers a Double Dose of VFTW This Week
While we don't really care about the British show The X Factor, we have to applaud 2 performances from this week because they just can't be missed.
First, John and Edward perform "Oops I Did It Again". Yes, this is a real group of contestants on the show. It's like Sanjaya had a twin. They made it past this week too. Why doesn't American Idol realize that we want entertaining train wrecks like this?
And speaking of train wrecks, Whitney Houston's performance of "Million Dollar Bill" helps ease the pain we feel from missing Paula Abdul. Whitney's clearly messed up. The best parts are when her dress breaks in the middle of the song and she looks bewildered, and then when she can barely speak at the end.
Bravo this week, X Factor.
Adam Lambert's Album Title: For Your Entertainment
Amazon.com confirms it. It should more appropriately be named For Your Amusement, as we'll probably be laughing when it fails.
Danny Noriega - Inside My Head
Danny Noriega released a new song. While his voice is very shaky and doesn't stay on key well, and the song sounds like a reject from Gaspy's album, this is way better than anything we ever expected from him. Nothing amazing, but Danny seems to actually be trying for a career now. It's probably too late though.
Adam Lambert Has a Diva Moment When Someone Ruins His Nails
Rickey.org has a funny post up with some gossip about Adam Lambert. Apparently, this summer on the Idol tour, Adam Lambert experienced the real meaning of the word tragedy. Someone grabbed his hand while his nail polish was still drying, and then...
Lambert exploded in a full diva meltdown and shrieked: “What the %%$#@&… my nails are still wet!”
He then waved his newly smudged, black-lacquered nails for all to see, adding, in a shriek: “Look what you have done! Now I have to do them all over again.”
The poor stagehand apologised profusely, we hear, as Lambert stormed back to his dressing-room.
Probably true. Adam seems incredibly into himself, so this all seems about right.
Tonight, the first half of VFTW Radio will be business as normal. Then at 10:30 Eastern (9:30 Central), Ann Rivall and Cailley Hammel from the University of Wisconsin Madison's Badger Herald will be joining us live. Ann wrote the original review of David Archuleta's Christmas album that resulted in a plethora of psychotic frauen attacks, and Cailley wrote the hilarious response that resulted in further angering David's delusional fans. We're sure these ladies have some funny stories about the whole thing that we can't wait to hear. Join us from 10-11 PM Eastern to hear it all live, and give us a call at 201-793-8255 during the show to chat with us about rabid American Idol fans and more.
