there was another thread about the best song of 2005 so far, but seeeing as how many of the artists of the day are quite terrible and their realases are dismally horriffic it's time to vote worse song(s) of 2005. to this end i nominate

CANDY SHOP - 50 Cent

this song is just plain awful, besides i can't stand 50 cent's ass anyhow(don't even get me started on the whole gangsta rap thing)

I second that. Add Disco Inferno to the list.

hell, this should just be a 'candy shop' DEpreciation thread.

Add Lonely by Akon to the list.

I thought about starting a thread about this song a few weeks ago on how AWFUL it is. I'm so out of tune with mainstream pop radio, but I was riding with my cousin a few weeks ago and this song came on the radio at the #1 spot. After hearing it, I was like who the hell thinks this song is so good that it deserves #1. He sounds like Alvin from the chipmunks singing. I think this is the same man who did the "who locked me up" song.....that's equally bad. But yeah, I just remember cringing the whole way through the countdown, and you see why I don't listen to the radio anymore.

I agree with all of the 50 Cent (AKA Chump Change) detractors.

I'm not sure if all of these qualify for 2005, but I would add:

Will Smith- Switch (my personal choice for the worst of the year)
Howie Day- Collide
Destiny's Child- Girl
Destiny's Child- Soldier
Bowling for Soup- Almost
Ashlee Simpson- La La
Backstreet Boys- Incomplete
Crossfade- Cold
Omarion- O
Green Day- Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Green Day- Holiday
Keane- Somewhere Only We Know
Eminem- Mockingbird
John Legend- Ordinary People
Simple Plan- Shut Up
Lindsay Lohan- Over
Ludacris- Get Back

how about every song on the pop stations.

Oh my god! I saw his ass on Jay Leno and I was like WTF? He was horrible.

AnckSuNamun said:

It's a sped-up Bobby Vinton sample ("Mr. Lonely") - which means Akon's the new Kanye West. Not only is it awful, but nothing about that song is original - surprise, surprise.

My vote goes to R Kelly for Sex In The Kitchen and the very lovely In The Closet.

I thought this sounded like the (cartoon) Misfits singing it.

VoicesCarry said:

I knew I was forgetting one and that was the one. That song drives me nuts everytime I hear it and most of my friends like that song. They have no taste whatsoever.

gotta disagree with y'all on...

Candyshop
Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Holiday
Somewhere only we know
Mockingbird

and, much as I really, really, really want to hate Switch by Will Smith, i kinda like it.

Hey pal, if U wanna insult Britney, go right ahead. But once U start comparing her 2 the Misfits, them's fightin' words!

g4 - bohemian rhapsody
Will Smith- Switch
50 Cent - Candy Shop
Steve Brookstein- Against All Odds

Anxiety said:

the sad thing is he begged Fat Joe(somebody 50 is supposed to have beef with) for the candy shop beat. Fat Joe gave it to 50 cause he said it sounded too much like 'Lean back' (another song that sucks ass bigtime)

Snoop Dogg and Farrell - Drop it like it's hot

J.Lo's latest single!

Akon..Lonely.....awful track not bad album thou,
