BEYONCE - "DEJA VU"
We honestly don't think this one is that bad. The videos that follow on this list are much bigger offenders. But we must include "Deja Vu" because Beyonce fans were so dismayed by this clip, they actually started a petition demanding that it be entirely re-shot. Citing what they considered to be "erratic, confusing, and alarming" choreography; "unbelievable and ridiculous" costumes; and "unacceptable interactions" and "non-existent sexual chemistry" between Ms. Knowles and her co-starring future husband Jay-Z, the 4,000 or so petitioners begged Beyonce's record label, Columbia, to go back to the drawing board (or editing room, as it were). It's probably the least horrific video listed here, but as far as Beyonce videos go, it is a stinker. In fact, we're still waiting for Beyonce to heed that petition and reshoot this one:



JANET JACKSON - "JUST A LITTLE WHILE"
After Janet's Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction" scandal, the stakes were high when she released her next album, Damita Jo. She needed a comeback, and she needed it bad. The logical strategy would be for her make an amazing video, which didn't seem like it'd be so hard for her to pull off--after all, this was the woman behind such iconic MTV classics as "Rhythm Nation" and "Pleasure Principle." But instead Janet came up with this hot mess, in which she seemed to be wearing horrifically unflattering cast-off costumes from Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert and dancing more like Tito Jackson than the Janet Jackson we all once knew and loved. Her label at the time, Virgin Records, panicked and pulled the plug on this video's promotion the eve of its U.S. premiere, and then only allowed it to be broadcast overseas...where apparently music-video standards are a lot lower:



MICHAEL JACKSON - "YOU ROCK MY WORLD"
Janet's not the only Jackson to attempt to comeback via video and fail miserably. In 2001, her brother Michael released his inaptly titled Invincible album and its first single, the video for which was a massive allstar affair featuring comedian Chris Tucker and Marlon Brando. Yes, THE Marlon Brando. Brando was apparently paid a fortune (a rumored cool million) to utter one line: "Now?" Yep, that's all he said. It's sad that this was one of Brando's final acting roles, but his nanosecond-long cameo still turned out to be the most interesting moment in this truly underwhelming video. If actual video footage of Michael Jackson jumping over a shark had been released instead of this, it still wouldn't have been more clear that Jacko's career was over:



MADONNA - "AMERICAN LIFE"
It's hard to believe that Madonna, the diva responsible for some of the best music videos ever, could end up on this list. But in the case of the video for American Life's title track, it's a placement well-deserved. The original version of this video was blatantly anti-war, and given the flak (and death threats) the Dixie Chicks had recently received after their little "we're ashamed George Bush is from Texas" remark, Madonna wasn't taking any chances--so she freaked and chose to shelve this controversial video entirely, then quickly slap together a cheapo green-screen alternate version instead. This was a rare moment of conservatism from a woman who'd never before seemed to care one bit if she offended anyone and everyone...which makes us think she decided to pull the plug on the original "American Life" video because it was just plain awful:



MC HAMMER - "2 LEGIT 2 QUIT"
After the huge success of "U Can't Touch This," MC Hammer clearly thought he was untouchable. He was raking in millions from lucrative endorsement deals, he had his own Saturday morning cartoon show, and he'd convinced all of America that droopy-drawer harem pants were the epitome of hip-hop fashion. No wonder he thought he could get away with a video like this. It's pretty much a Hammer infomercial in which Hammer--aided by a slumming James Brown, who really ought to be remembered for more respectable moments in his long career than this--declares war on hapless Michael Jackson and sets his sights on Jacko's King Of Pop throne. ("Bring me the glove!" James Brown cackles.) It is perhaps THE most megalomaniacal video of all time. Not long after this fiasco, the hammer of a bankruptcy court judge came down on Hammer, and though this may sound harsh to say...seriously, you won't feel that sorry for Hammer after watching this:



ALANIS MORISSETTE - "THANK YOU"
There are many female pop stars out there who are often the subject of male fans' full-frontal-nudity fantasies. But Alanis is not one of them. "How about getting off these antibiotics," says Alanis? Um, how about putting some dang clothes on? We say "no thanks" to "Thank You":



EDDIE MURPHY & MICHAEL JACKSON - "WHATZUPWITU"
In the past, Eddie Murphy enlisted some truly talented real musicians to help him launch his music career. He recruited Rick James to collaborate on "Party All The Time," for instance. That didn't go so well. Then he convinced Michael Jackson (because apparently the "New King Of Pop," MC Hammer, wasn't available) for this mess--and the result was even worse. What is up with this?:



PRINCE - "BATDANCE"
This should have been a winning combo. One of the biggest movies of all time, Batman, soundtracked by one of the biggest artists of all time, His Purple Majesty. So why does this video make us want to jump in the Batmobile and drive far, far away?:



RUPAUL - "LOOKING GOOD, FEELING GORGEOUS"
This travesty of taste is offensive on SO many levels, we need a new word for "offensive" to describe it. RuPaul, you better work--on your apology to everyone who had to sit through this. And apologize to Colonel Sanders too, while you're at it:



SHAKIRA - "LA TORTURA"
Um....was this video supposed to be sexy or something? We suppose for those of you with a subscription to Motor Oil Fetish Monthly magazine, it is pretty hot. But for the other 99.9 percent of us who prefer Shakira when she's not dripping in tarlike black goo and acting like a zombie from Dawn Of The Dead, it's utterly ridiculous. The one good thing we can say about this video is that's it's aptly titled, since watching this is pretty tortuous:

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!

Batdance has absolutely no place on this list. That's a brilliant video.

midnightmover said:

I agree. That was one of my favorite videos growing up!

midnightmover said:

i like it too but its so terrible

InsatiableCream said:

It's such a fun, entertaining video that I can't understand anyone calling it "terrible". Just compare it to some of P's boring, cheap ass videos like "The Greatest Romance Ever Sold". That's a video that could earn you an award just for sitting through it.

"Batdance" is one of Prince's best videos.Can't see why it made this list

You know what I say to this list? Next...

paisleypark4 said:

I admit,it was entertaining and very unique Beyonce or Mariah would never make a video like that.

Batman and the joker dancing? Yea, crap, but not the worst?

If they said Partyman, then we would have scrapped.

COMPUTERBLUE1984 said:

I just watched the video for Bowie and Jagger's "Dancin' in the Streets" yesterday in fact, and that's exactly what I thought. It's horribly bad.

Where are Hall & Oates on this list???


Can't forget Modern Talking either...

Lionel Ritchie!!!!!

You are the winner!!!!!

I'm going to stop this before it gets started.

Not only is this the worst video ever, it's also the worst song ever. I just watched the video, and my eyes and ears are all bleeding right now.



If you get past the Tony Danza impersonator on the unicycle, consider yourself a real toughie.

Shakira's video was super-hot and if u understood the lyrics and was singing to who, then the video was incendiary.

So much for lists...

Lionel Richie's "Dancing On The Ceiling" video should have been on this list.It's just horrible and very embarassing.

SoulAlive said:

Exactly. Just that moment when he crawls between the girls' legs, pauses and looks at the camera is enough to make the video a classic. Maybe some people missed the humour. Let's face it, lists are always bullshit. Always.

minneapolisgenius said:

When I think of the video to Dancing in the Streets, I can't believe that two of the coolest rock stars (based on reputation)would resort to recording that crap. Then again, Bowie said he was asleep in the 1980's, so he is forgiven

It didn't? Because I'm pretty sure it was a huge hit and still gets played today! Music critics suck! And the "American Life" video is great!

VinnyM27 said:

Yeah,"Party All The Time" was a huge hit....the only real hit single that Eddie ever had.It went Top 10.

Paisley Park isn't on the list because....

COMPUTERBLUE1984 said:

Exactly.

minneapolisgenius said:

I love 80's music, but some of those videos were epic failures.....

midnightmover said:

This list could have been FILLED with P's video's. Why this one? Gangsta Glam, anyone?

I've NEVER seen the censored American life video until just now. That's what I get for using the internet to watch Music Vids and not TV,
The original was good, imo. But yeah...the new one was REALLY bland.

wasnt intuition a setup? people didnt get the comical value to it?
