Worst Songs 2010 – #2 – Jedward – Under Pressure
Proof that Louis Walsh is a cunt of herculean proportions is not in short supply. But the fact that he allows for atrocities like this to occur is the
most damning of a considerable list of charges.
I mean even Vanilla Ice thought Jedward’s take on ‘Ice Ice Baby’ was funny. This is coming from a man who remembers his music career as ‘that one year when I wasn’t painting houses’. It doesn’t get much more degrading than that. Does it?
Yes it does. Because Vanilla Ice is actually on this song! There can surely be no musician that actually wants to appear on a Vanilla Ice song, even Vanilla Ice isn’t that crazy about the idea!
Still Jedward probably can’t believe their popularity endured for long enough to actually release this single, and an album full of cover versions (which went to #1 in Ireland, shame on you all). I suspect that the second half of the album is just silence because nobody would bother to listen to it all the way through and if they would they have greater worries than the awful music Jedward make.
So that’s that. This is a steaming pile of shit. Which was totally predictable. But as long as there are people who spend their money on Jedward singles instead of putting it to better use like donating to charity or throwing it in a river, there will always be garbage like this kicking about. That’s a sad reality of living in the first world. Even stupid people have money.
I have actually just written a post on my website dispelling the myth of shit music. But I had forgotten about Jedward….
