Vote for the Worst Presents: The Worst Songs of 2003
Blake Lewis - Heartbreak on Vinyl Video
In an incredibly smart move, Blake Lewis appears in 0% of the video. Apparently he realized making people look at him would sell no records. The tune is decent, but it's probably the worst lyrics he's ever written. (Via MJ's Big Blog)

John and Edward To Perform the "Ghostbusters" Theme on This Week's X Factor
This is awesome news! Digital Spy is reporting that our favorite terrorizing twins, John and Edward, are performing the "Ghostbusters" theme as their song selection on the upcoming episode of the X Factor. And yes, they'll be wearing the Ghostbuster outfits. We hope this is true. John and Edward are now in their 5th week of competition. One more week, and they'll be tied with Sanjaya's VFTW record of longevity.
Late Halloween Scare: Listen to Snippets of Adam Lambert's Upcoming Album
If Halloween didn't frighten you enough, Amazon has Adam Lambert's album preview up so you can experience a new form of horror. The lowlights are the hilariously bad "Music Again", campy "Strut", terribly cheesy Broadway sounding "Soaked", and his ridiculous sounding vocals on "Fever". Adam's voice sounds absolutely horrendous on the ballads, which are by far the weakest tracks in the previews. We can say though that the album clearly has higher production values than the standard Idol rush job. And tracks like "Sleepwalker" and "Whataya Want From Me" would blend in easily to top 40 radio (if you can consider that a compliment). But will anyone be able to look past the stupid album cover to even listen to the music? Adam better count his lucky stars that people can now download the album anonymously or he'd have negative sales the first week.
John and Edward Survive Another Week on X Factor
Astonishingly, after their performance of We Will Rock You, John and Edward made it yet another week. VFTW Victory! Some chick named Rachel went home. Doesn't matter who that even is, as long as our boys keep surviving. They'll now perform for their 5th week of competition next week, so remember to keep voting for them if you live in England.
Kelly Clarkson Mocks Her Song "Already Gone" in Concert Last Night
Awesome. After the whole Already Gone/Halo situation, Kelly Clarkson decided to add a few bars of the Beyonce song to her performance last night to mock her own song. Pretty funny.
X Factor - John and Edward Take On "We Will Rock You"
Week 4 of the John and Edward debacle on England's X-Factor show continues, and it just keeps getting better. This week, John and Edward sing "We Will Rock You". They make up their own hilarious words, they lose their place in the middle of the song, they dance around confused, and the singing is as precious as ever. We love these guys and want to see them win! Let's hope they make it past the next vote. John and Edward are the latest British singing sensations. Since we know they're awesome and will stay in the competition, may we recommend "My Neck, My Back" for next week?
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.
2003 was a year for songs that were so bad, they're good. So many guilty pleasures came out of this year, as people apparently were trying to be terrible to sell records. It worked! Here's a recap of the songs that made 2003 a terrible year for music.
10. Amanda Perez - Angel
Some people get record deals because they sing well. Some get record deals because they're attractive. Some get record deals based on buzz. Then there's Amanda Perez, who has none of the above. How she became famous, and how this horribly written and horribly sung song became such a hit on the radio is a mystery. Showing how one note she is, Amanda released a second single called "I Pray" which sounds almost identical to "Angel". Thankfully, Amanda never repeated the success of her first song.
