With Every Top something or other there comes the Worst Of... list, or at least it does with me. Luckily only have 5 songs to bitch about that were released this year, and if you have read my blog before then you will not be surprised which songs I have wanted to rip apart since I first heard them!
Let's get into it, shall we?
The Top 5 WORST Songs of 2012
5. One Two Three by Morning Musume
Oh how I loathed this song, and how people loathed me for disliking it, but whatever. I really did not like this song, and even now I find I still think it's pretty bad. I enjoy it more, yes, but I didn't (and still don't) understand the hype around this song. It was messy, the distribution was poor and one of the lead singers (She who must Not be Named) was a pitchy mess. It was horrible and really made me dislike the direction that Morning Musume was going in. It's still a horrible mess, and for a 50th single, it's shit. I don't care what people say, because I don't like it, and you really can not change how I feel about this single. Yes, people love it and I am a part of a minority who really don't like it, but I feel such a strong dislike for this single, and no one can change my mind. It's horrible, and it really put me off of electronic sounding songs for a while until, gracious as they are, Perfume proved to me that electro-pop is not always as disastrous as this thing was.
4. Oide Shampoo by Nogizaka46
As a group in general, Nogizaka46 sucks balls. There is nothing really appealing about them in look and their concept isn't original either. They're basically a terrible copy of a greater group, and it shows in their songs and video's. Oide Shampoo is one of those songs, and it's a pretty disastrous song and video. Terribly generic, sub-par vocals and extremely forgettable when you tune into an amazing song, this is a very 'meh' song, like almost everything else they have done. I really can't fin anything appealing about this song at all or this group right now. They seem to always fall flat on their arses, and always seem like they half-ass what they do. Or at least the cover designers, costume designers, composers etc make it look half-assed, which it is.
In my opinion, at least.
3. GIVE ME FIVE by AKB48
My lord give me strength... this was a terrible, terrible song, one which set off the rest of the year for AKB48 in terms of the quality of their sound. Generic, boring, forgettable, bland... it has left a bad taste in my mouth, and as the year went on, I realised that I did not like it one bit like I did when I first heard it. It's a song which turns sour over time the more you listen to it, for me mostly I guess, and whilst I truly liked it when I first heard it, now... Not so much. It's not very good, in fact it's pretty bad, and it was a very poor start to the year for AKB48. Then again this year's been pretty poor in terms of music for them as a whole anyway.
It's weird how an opinion can so quickly change from the beginning of the year to the end of it, isn't it?
2. Guru Guru Curtain by Nogizaka46
Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh my GOD this is a terrible, shitty, horrible, generic piece of crap that should have never existed... But it did set off how shit Nogizaka46 would be as a group in general with this excuse of a debut song... It's horrible, it's so poor in quality, the vocals aren't that great either, and it lacks personality, originality, emotion... It just lacks and I really do not like it! If I wanted to enjoy this song I would need to get very very drunk, pass out and probably cry myself to sleep before I enjoyed this song...
And that is how bad I think it is, dear readers.
1. Dot Bikini by S/mileage
I fucking hate this song with such a strong passion, it's horrible, I hate it. So shrieky and annoying and URGH!
If I wanted to enjoy this song I would need to get very very drunk, pass out and probably cry myself to sleep before I enjoyed this song... - Quoted by ChiimaEven then I would probably need to be in several rooms away from wherever this song was blasting out from to mildly enjoy it. It's bad, the worst I have ever heard from S/mileage, and just... BAD!!!! It's so... There's nothing to like about it for me. It's just so terrible!
...
I'm going to hide out under a rock, because I am sure I will die for hating on Number 5 and Number 1. See ya!
But no, really, I strongly dislike these songs, and that's how I feel. Just because I dislike something does not mean that you should follow suit and dislike it. Try it out before you express how you feel about it. I have heard these songs, and I made up my mind about them.
And that is all xD

hahaha i love both dot bikini & one two three. entertaining read & shows how different some fans are from each other
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! And I know that the two songs are loved by people but I really don't care about them! But yes, fans are all different and out diversity makes blogging and talking to each other really fun ;)
DeleteI love hearing opinions, whether or not I agree. I also thought "Dot Bikini" was a monstrosity that needs a bullet in the brain; however I am positive on "One-Two-Three" if only for how the single revitalized the fandom. Keep tellin' it like it is!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much~ Opinions are great, especially when you can disagree but talk about why you disagree and what you don't or do like about something. Dot Bikini.... I might burn it if I ever buy it XD
DeleteI understand why people love One Two Three, but I just don't like it, however it did revitalize the fandom as you say, and that is what is good about it.
Again thank you very much~
OMG I loved OTT and Dot Bikini, they were my jams this year ;__:
ReplyDeleteUwaaa yaaay x3 I am happy that people like the songs, but I just don't.... it's like, people will dislike my beloved Pyoko for this year ;A; but oh well ^^ I didn't like OTT so xD
DeleteI think the trouble I have with One, Two, Three is it's a decent song structure-wise and I could imagine a truly awesome version of it if recorded right, but what they wound up with sounds like it came from one of those cheapo homage albums where they cobble together a bunch of not-so-talented musos to pay homage to the greatest hits of some well known group and try to cover up the fact that there's no budget with a whole bunch of jarring studio effects that wind up killing the great vibe that made the original so awesome. Maybe someday someone will do this song right and it will get the chance it deserves. Until then it will always sound like an inferior cover to my ears.
ReplyDeleteWo this is so in detail, and I really agree with you! Hopefully the song will be re-done (with better vocals). As you say, the effects are jarring - it makes it horrible! I have no idea how ANYONE enjoyed this piece of ... okay I won't say what I think but URGH.
DeleteNogizaka46's songs are so forgettable I can't even remember if I liked them or not... XD
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about Dot Bikini and Give Me Five. Not so much One Two Three, but I understand why you don't like it.
Every time I try to think of their songs Gingham Check appears... xD
DeleteGAAAAH DIE DOT BIKINI D8< -gets flamethrower out-
Number 1 is simply painful, I whole-heartedly agree with you for hating it xD
ReplyDeleteBut, really, I'm half surprised CAT'S EYE never made it on here. That was a true atrocity.
YAAAAY Thank yooou! And I forget CAT'S EYE so I don't really consider it a song right now... xD
DeleteI loved Captain's rap parts in Cat's Eye but the rest of the song was just auto-tune overload with a boring instrumental.
DeleteI actually forget what the heck it sounds like o-O
Deletefunny how dot bikini is one of my favourite songs xD
ReplyDeletei agree about Nogizaka46.. they were pretty much forgettable this year.
Haha Dot Bikini is... fine (painfully stated), I guess, but I hate it with a dear, clear passion. I am happy that people enjoy it though!
DeleteNogiaka46... I'm surprised they're continuing on the theme they have or whatever. They have no talent right now or anything memorable or even remotely good except their new song :/
