@@rezalustig6773i think new music is mostly better .However ,it feels more disposable.Back then,the songs,even the absolute trash felt unescapable and fucking huge
Considering the fact that both Kesha and 3Oh!3 are essentially parody, that makes a lot more sense than it should. Then again, the Lonely Island at least know how to write good lyrics.
@Zero Cool Dude, can't blame you since that was the vibe she was presented with, but I don't think you realise just how bad that comment looks now post 2017. Her producer, Dr Luke, imposed that onto her, and allegedly did some really fucked up shit that could be argued to fall under rape. Her story isn't exactly a happy one now that we look back.
I miss T-Pain.Why did we keep Jason Derulo and Chris Brown around but not him ? Yeah he wasn't The Beatles but I could get some weird enjoyment out of him.
I'm guessing it's because it was revealed over the last few years that she was sexually assaulted by her producer and coerced into making the trashy shit she's known for instead of the stuff she wanted to make.
It's true that she was sexually assaulted by her producer and stuck in a contract with him. It is NOT true that her party girl image and all her old music was stuff she didn't want and that she hated. She has said herself she likes all her old music. She didn't have control over her contract and being stuck with a guy who abused her, but that doesn't mean she didn't have any control over music she wrote herself.
@@NickAshborn That makes sense; I hated (and still hate) the stuff she made then, but I remember hearing that she's actually pretty skilled from a musical standpoint. May Dr. Luke never abuse anyone or force any talented people to make shitty music ever again.
That melody from "Take it Off" which Todd writes off as a playground taunt is actually really old, dating back to at least the 1600's, possibly even older, and the tune has been quoted in hundreds of songs. One night when I watched this review I got curious about the tune because I knew I'd heard it before but didn't know from where, and I fell into an hour long series of google searches and research learning as much as I could about it. There's actually a lot of interesting history related to that one little riff. Incidentally, I recognized it from the song Istanbul by They Might be Giants, which I had no idea was a cover before that google adventure about a year ago.
*Josh Priestley* I was watching some old B&W Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts and heard that tune and I was like: hey! I know that tune! Ke$ha used that tune!
It was actually in one of my grade books back when I was learning piano, they called it "the snake dance" in that. Probably because of the snake charmer thing.
The Top Ten Worst Moments of Music, 2010: 10. "Shawty is a eenie-meenie-minie-mo lover" - Justin Bieber, 'Eenie Meenie' 9. "Zip your lip like a padlock" - Ke$ha, 'Blah Blah Blah' 8.

LEL, I’m also fuckin’ thankful that some brat like Asshole Levine got hit by a vehicle as well! Let’s just hope the “Access Law” people I had recently ago at Greater Vancouver goes down a great height while “Don’t Be a Lawyer” plays! XD
A few scattered observations now that this list is nearly a decade old: • I still don't understand how Enrique managed to bounce back after "I Like It" and "Tonight (I'm Fuckin' You)." Those two songs combined should have been a career killer. Then again, "Escape" should have been a career killer almost a decade prior. • I've always thought "In My Head" was one of Jason Derulo's better hits, which is to say it's mediocre at best. Still not sure how he's stuck around for over a decade when he's only ever had like three decent songs. • I actually dislike "Teach Me How to Dougie" way more than "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" or "Watch Me." At least the latter two had some kind of energy; Cali Swag District couldn't even manage that. • OneRepublic was one of the only pop acts I liked up until recently, when I started listening to the top 40 a little more. That said, "All the Right Moves" is easily their worst single... at least it _was,_ before "I Ain't Worried" came out a dozen years later. • I seriously don't remember "Billionaire" being this bad. Probably a low spot on my worst list, right around #9 or #10. I really don't miss when Bruno sucked. • Taio Cruz had the 9th- and 10th-biggest hits of 2010 ("Dynamite" and "Break Your Heart" respectively) and then, after a couple minor hits in 2011, he just vanished from the US pop scene entirely. Don't really know why, either; he seemed like he could have stuck around for at least a little while. • lmao that Maroon 5 video owns • Christ, all the criticisms of Kesha from the early 2010s have aged like milk. Aside from that, I definitely agree on "My First Kiss" (and 3OH!3 as a whole) being vapid garbage, but if anything, "Take It Off" would be on my best list, for a lot of the same reasons that Mark from Spectrum Pulse put it on his.
3OH3!'s whole gimmick was to mock the songs that all talk about sex, drugs, and partying and it worked. If you check out some of their later stuff it is almost a 180 from their earliest work and it was actually less popular
@@ghostly6175 that doesn’t make it good. That being said, I think My First Kiss is so hilariously bad, it is good and I think Starstrukk is a masterpiece, especially since their music is re-contextualized due to the emergence of hyper pop and ironically, 3OH3! are pioneers instead of being a badly aged early 2010’s train wreck. I certainly enjoy their music a lot more than I did back in the day.
Im still not a fan but I admit to finding her newer work like Praying to be insanely better than some of her old things like Blah Blah Blah (god i hate that), My First Kiss here and all those.
Comparing her newest album Gag Order to where she started with Animal is like staring into two alternate dimensions (saying this as someone fond of both eras of Kesha)
I actually love Take It Off. I just can't help but look back fondly at all of Kesha's old music, maybe it's because I was 9 when her first album came out and I loved it, or because I miss the days of nothing but fun dance pop club anthems about having a good time.
Fun fact; Take It Off by Kesha actually samples a song from 1893 called The Streets of Cario. Idk why but that’s such a cool idea that I personally would have spared it the number one for that alone
It was so weird to me when it was first released. I was born in 1991. In mid 90s in Indonesia, there was a children song that also sampled Streets of Cairo, and it became a part of my childhood. So when Take it Off released, I was like "Wait, how the hell Kesha sampled an Indonesian children song?". LOL
I thought "All The Right Moves" said "All the wrong friends in all the wrong places. Yeah, we're going down". I gotta say I would really prefer if that's what it said, 'cuz hearing that made me think it was an upbeat song about being on a tight spot with bad company which you thought were your friends.
Well I'm French and my english is not really good. When I heared this song the first time, I thought it said "All the right moves in all the right places, so gaaaay we're going down" and since I didn't understand the rest of the lyrics, I refused to listen to this song because I didn't know if it was homophobic or not. 🙄. Listen to a language you barely understand is always an "experience" to say the least 😂
I could never decipher what those lyrics were as a teenager. Other guys all thought it was different things. But I found the song pretty bland, so didnt care too much.
He did say he was only including songs he hadn't already made review videos for in this video; it's possible Hey Soul Sister would have been number 1 if he hadn't already given it a full review.
Ducklord The Great to be fair I suspect Todd left off a lot of songs he already reviewed intentionally for the reason he didn’t do a full Top 10 talking about songs he already reviewed(Shake It Off, Filthy, Anaconda, and Wiggle for some examples) like in later years which would be why OMG by Usher, Imma Be by the BEP, Hey Soul Sister by Train, and Like a G6 by Far East Movement all of which he expressed deep hatred for in his respective reviews of each aren’t mentioned at all here
@@lukeklein5529 dont forget Alejandro, Telephone, Reember, Cooler than me, those other Kesha songs not Tik Tok, Carry out and maybe Bad romance and theres more just cant think of all.
For the longest time I thought Katy Perry or someone like that did the "Baby I like it!" part on that Enrique Iglesias song until I saw the video. Seriously? He sounded like a chick! He's never sounded so girly.
Keelan Barron- the music to take it off is the sounds like the bit killer had in their comment. Killekool99-My moms version was this one. In the land of Mars there's a lady who smokes cigars Every puff she take's is enough to kill a snake When the snake are dead we put roses in their heads When the roses die we put diamonds in their eyes When the diamonds crack we go back to 68.
ADoseOfBuckley pointed out that Calli Swag District might've been jealous of that "My Dougie" song so they made their own one. Or something like that. Idc to re-check
12:42 OH THATS WHERE TAYLOR SWIFT GOT THAT ATROCIOUS RAP LINE FROM You know, when she fails to rap in Shake It Off, she pulls this exact line and I always knew it was alluding to something but I never got what she was trying to do and ... Sorry, Im having an epiphany here.
now he faded into obscurity. Or not really, depending if the "Bailando" song hit it big outside Europe, which kind of fueled the latino craze for quite a bit, considering he released some more Spanglish songs for the time being While Thicke kind of burnt out after divorcing Paula Patton and writing an album about her. Seriously, haven't heard of him ever since I believe
7 years later I guarantee you Ke$ha's "Praying" will be on his Top Best 10 of 2017, just funny to look back on this and hearing Todd talk about how much she sucks lol.
Bryan Smith it's also possible that ke$ha has seen some character growth since 2010 and has grown more and more likeable which u can see cause todd had her in his top ten of 2012
@@ordinarychef Why revisionist? He can still hate the old stuff. He's usually not hypocritical. It's sad though how many people repeat innocent until proven guilty when they know rape and sex assault has a shockingly low conviction rate. If you're not stupid enough to tape yourself doing it, beat her to a pulp or confess, you'll most likely get away with it. But men like to pretend that not convicted the guy didn't do it and women are liars.
@@pumpkingreg6673 it was probably one of those things he didn't see as homophobic at the time, he just thought it was normal. takes time to work through these things sometimes, no one's born progressive.
the 3oh!3 moment was so strange man. what a time to be alive. also this is hardly unique to todd but all the criticisms of ke$ha in 2009-10 are pretty hard to swallow nowadays. you dont even have to be aware of her assault at dr lukes hands to see the strong undercurrent of misogyny in the backlash she received then
Christina Marie A friend I had about 8 years ago actually liked that song. He’d probably dedicate it to his girlfriend or something. I think my mom likes that song too.
I really enjoy watching these as a time capsule of sorts. After more than a decade of these annual reviews, Todd has a valuable series on tap reevaluating these reviews in several different contexts.
My list is: 1: Sexy Bitch - David Guetta feat. Akon 2: Just a Dream - Nelly 3: Say Aah - Trey Songz feat. Fabolous 4: Hey Soul Sister - Train 5: Imma Be - Black Eyed Peas 6: Tie Me Down - New Boyz feat. Ray J 7: Like a G6 - Far East Movement 8: Dynamite - Taio Cruz 9: Baby - Justin Bieber 10: Smile - Uncle Kracker
I wish more of trip hop crossed over to the USA so more people would learn to appreciate the genre I guess? As Todd mentioned on one of his OHW reviews, trip hop only impacted America with Sneaker Pimps and the House MD theme.
Kinda wonder how good at acting she might be. Too bad her most prominent role in anything was...well...a stinger for that one music-based movie nobody watched or liked...
Take It Off reminds me of an old halloween like song that my mom told me when I was young (don't know where it comes from) that had a similar rhythm. In the land of Mars there's a lady who smokes cigars Every puff she take's is enough to kill a snake When the snake are dead we put roses in their heads When the roses die we put diamonds in their eyes When the diamonds crack we go back to 68. All you have to do is replace the these lyrics with kesha's in time with the beat and there you go.
It's crazy to go back to something like this a decade later, literally almost every song here has me bobbing my head and enjoying it, especially In My Head and All The Right Places. Only ones that I don't like are Deuces, Dougie and #1
11:57 I always misheard it as "It's too late for the John", I thought it was a song about a guy with a bladder infection 'cause he held his pee in too long.
@@KeyBladeMaster-Dan No problem, dude. My life sucks too. Sorry, but at that time, when I was using the name "Gina Molina", that was my mom's maiden name. I'm actually a dude. I used that name first. Then, I used my real name as my username, and then 2 more times, and now, here we are. This is my real name, and my profile picture is my real face. From early last year. Still having girl problems too... but, as bad your problems are, I highly doubt they're worse than mine. Not saying they're not bad, but, I don't know if they're as awful as mine are, is all I'm saying...
Same here. That's the only reason TO watch that video. You know, maybe it's just me, but I actually remember a time when Maroon 5 DIDN'T suck ass. And when Levine wasn't being an ass, and when we all weren't happy to see him get the shit kicked out of him. But, like I said, maybe it's just me? Eh, let's just go back to the clip where he's getting run over by a car again. But in slow motion!
Glad to see the comments are full of people defending Take it Off. Never liked Tick Tock, I like Your Love is My Drug, but I LOVE Take it Off. Still listen to it pretty often and don’t really ever skip it if it comes up on shuffle.
Todd is so indecisive about Katy perry it’s funny. All the songs he likes from her his defense is “ we need stupid pop songs “ and the typical attack on her is “ she’s stupid “. He put California gurls on the top ten at number 2 and on the dishonorable mentions while never mentioning in either list that he put it on the other. At least he’s self aware that before 2015 he’s really bad at being a non bias critic
I got agree with you in regards to "In My Head," but I find myself liking the cover version by Mayday Parade quite a bit. Maybe if you subtract Derulo, it's enjoyable, if mindless.
I get a good laugh when I look back on that period between Michael Jackson's death and Gangnam Style, People really thought the world was going down the toilet because of all the shitty music (and that's without mentioning the shit we thought was gonna go down in 2012). Making death threats to teenage pop singers and rappers was like milk and cereal at breakfast and we pretty much considered Adele to be the one thing saving music!!
i have a weird experience with 303. i was around 14 and already had my belack belt in taekwondo, with me already being pretty advanced, i had to take a few sparring classes with adults and some high school and some college kids, this class had everyone who at this point in my life have been teaching me taekwondo for over 11 years. another thing to mention is that right next to my class was a kick boxing class filled with older ladies, a d they always had a CD player with a bunch of old mid 2000 songs. so one day during this class, im trying so hard to be focused and not like a little kid, then i hear frok the other room 303 'Dont trust me'. when i started to hear it with its dumb emo sound, i almost started laughing, but when they said 'if your boyfriends got beef then tell him im a vegetarian' not only me, but my whole class started to break down and start laughing like crazy
I think you should make a top 10 worst songs of 2010 list. So we can actually see a full ranking. I bet most of these songs wouldn’t even be mentions aside from My First Kiss.
Ah yes, time for me to rewatch the ten worst pop songs, a genre I dont really listen to, from 2010, a year I cant remember any music from. Also Todd I love you for using a Massive Attack song even if most of your audience doesnt know much about them.
Why assume Todd's audience doesn't know of Massive Attack? 🤔 I like them, I got excited just yesterday when they played "Angel" in a play I went to see.
@@sonofagun4125 I'm pretty sure it's a minority of his audience who know them. I'm not sure how large the crossover appeal between triphop/idm and pop music fans are
Not trying to be snarky or anything, but since nobody else has mentioned it, he very likely used the Massive Attack song because it was used as the theme music for the show House, which was appropriate because he was talking about contracting a rare disease. He may very well be a fan of them independently too; I have no idea either way. Just making sure to explain a 2010 pop culture reference that may not have survived to 2022.
This is way late but I'm willing to bet that greater than a "minority" of Todd's viewers are aware of one of the biggest trip-hop groups in history... most people are exposed to the top 40 at some point in their lives even if their musical tastes lie elsewhere. And yes, some people like both Katy Perry *and* Portishead 😊
Looking back on this, its incredibly amusing that 10 years on 3OH!3 went again to collab with some widely despised and often considered annoying pop singers. This time it was 100 gecs.
When I was in high school, the workout room in our gym (which I'd always escape to so I wouldn't have to suffer through group sports) had maybe three CDs played on a loop if we didn't opt to listen to the radio or (in my case) our Shuffles. (I'm a dinosaur.) One of them was a mix of songs from around 2010, maybe some from 2009. Might've been one of the NOW! compilations. Point is, I heard most of the songs on this list many times, and if I never hear I Like It or In My Head again it'll be too soon.
10:49 That is correct. "Wings" by Birdy was co-written by Ryan Tedder, and it sounds similar to "Stop and Stare" in a way. Similar syllabic delivery, damn slow tempo, possibly similar arrangement as well
I've spent the last decade trying to forget that era of music because I despised it so much. Generic twangy folk, dated snap-rap and every mainstream artist was churning out club song after club song. Especially when I worked as a dishwasher and had to hear that shit 50 times a day. It got so out of hand that Adele, Bruno Mars, Foster The People and Gotye seemed like a breath of fresh air. P.S "In My Head" sounds like a dime-store knockoff of "Break Your Heart"
My Top Five Worst Songs Of 2010: 1: Chris Brown, Tyga & Kevin McCall-Deuces 2: Train-Hey, Soul Sister 3: The Black Eyed Peas-Imma Be 4: Young Money Ft Lloyd-Bedrock 5: Ke$ha & 30H!3-BlahBlahBlah
I remember when my classmates at a school dance tried to teach me how to dougie... i just sorta made up the moves until we collectively just agreed that was the dougie now
I like "i like it" xP i think it's because its catchy and i like is voice but I don't like the rap. It's just one of the like 5 American pop songs i like.

I still don't understand how Enrique managed to bounce back after "I Like It" and "Tonight (I'm Fuckin' You)." Those two songs combined should have been a career killer. Then again, "Escape" should have been a career killer almost a decade prior.
• I've always thought "In My Head" was one of Jason Derulo's better hits, which is to say it's mediocre at best. Still not sure how he's stuck around for over a decade when he's only ever had like three decent songs.
• I actually dislike "Teach Me How to Dougie" way more than "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" or "Watch Me." At least the latter two had some kind of energy; Cali Swag District couldn't even manage that.
• OneRepublic was one of the only pop acts I liked up until recently, when I started listening to the top 40 a little more. That said, "All the Right Moves" is easily their worst single... at least it _was,_ before "I Ain't Worried" came out a dozen years later.
• I seriously don't remember "Billionaire" being this bad. Probably a low spot on my worst list, right around #9 or #10. I really don't miss when Bruno sucked.
• Taio Cruz had the 9th- and 10th-biggest hits of 2010 ("Dynamite" and "Break Your Heart" respectively) and then, after a couple minor hits in 2011, he just vanished from the US pop scene entirely. Don't really know why, either; he seemed like he could have stuck around for at least a little while.
• lmao that Maroon 5 video owns
• Christ, all the criticisms of Kesha from the early 2010s have aged like milk. Aside from that, I definitely agree on "My First Kiss" (and 3OH!3 as a whole) being vapid garbage, but if anything, "Take It Off" would be on my best list, for a lot of the same reasons that Mark from Spectrum Pulse put it on his.
(last point) Same can be said about Megan Fox, really.
3OH3!'s whole gimmick was to mock the songs that all talk about sex, drugs, and partying and it worked. If you check out some of their later stuff it is almost a 180 from their earliest work and it was actually less popular
@@ghostly6175 that doesn’t make it good. That being said, I think My First Kiss is so hilariously bad, it is good and I think Starstrukk is a masterpiece, especially since their music is re-contextualized due to the emergence of hyper pop and ironically, 3OH3! are pioneers instead of being a badly aged early 2010’s train wreck. I certainly enjoy their music a lot more than I did back in the day.
A lot of Enrique's success has always relied on Spanish speaking markets, where his English lyrics dont matter all that much
why do i see you so often
Wow, Kesha’s new single sounds so, *so* much different than whatever she was up to in 2010. Amazing how much a difference seven years makes.
Finally breaking free from Dr. Luke (who will now be known as Darth Luke) probably helps.
Man you should check out her latest song
Im still not a fan but I admit to finding her newer work like Praying to be insanely better than some of her old things like Blah Blah Blah (god i hate that), My First Kiss here and all those.
rape*
Comparing her newest album Gag Order to where she started with Animal is like staring into two alternate dimensions (saying this as someone fond of both eras of Kesha)
I actually love Take It Off. I just can't help but look back fondly at all of Kesha's old music, maybe it's because I was 9 when her first album came out and I loved it, or because I miss the days of nothing but fun dance pop club anthems about having a good time.
Fun fact; Take It Off by Kesha actually samples a song from 1893 called The Streets of Cario. Idk why but that’s such a cool idea that I personally would have spared it the number one for that alone
It was so weird to me when it was first released. I was born in 1991. In mid 90s in Indonesia, there was a children song that also sampled Streets of Cairo, and it became a part of my childhood. So when Take it Off released, I was like "Wait, how the hell Kesha sampled an Indonesian children song?". LOL
I thought "All The Right Moves" said "All the wrong friends in all the wrong places. Yeah, we're going down". I gotta say I would really prefer if that's what it said, 'cuz hearing that made me think it was an upbeat song about being on a tight spot with bad company which you thought were your friends.
gbrincks I thought it was "All the wrong friends, in all the right places" which, to me, could have been even more interesting.
Well I'm French and my english is not really good. When I heared this song the first time, I thought it said "All the right moves in all the right places, so gaaaay we're going down" and since I didn't understand the rest of the lyrics, I refused to listen to this song because I didn't know if it was homophobic or not. 🙄.
Listen to a language you barely understand is always an "experience" to say the least 😂
I could never decipher what those lyrics were as a teenager. Other guys all thought it was different things. But I found the song pretty bland, so didnt care too much.
It seems to be about competing against nepo babies who have connections and advantages you don’t. I think?
This "first kiss" garbage was a hit back then? Seriously?
It was everywhere!
It suckedddd as much as the local radio station.
Apparently, now the little kids know that first kiss song because of that vine rip off.
If you think thats bad listen to Blah Blah Blah and Crazy Kids….
I'm surprised Hey soul sister wasn't number 1
He did say he was only including songs he hadn't already made review videos for in this video; it's possible Hey Soul Sister would have been number 1 if he hadn't already given it a full review.
Jean Phillips-Weiner no he literally put the list right there. Deuces would’ve been number one.
I hate that song so much
Ducklord The Great to be fair I suspect Todd left off a lot of songs he already reviewed intentionally for the reason he didn’t do a full Top 10 talking about songs he already reviewed(Shake It Off, Filthy, Anaconda, and Wiggle for some examples) like in later years which would be why OMG by Usher, Imma Be by the BEP, Hey Soul Sister by Train, and Like a G6 by Far East Movement all of which he expressed deep hatred for in his respective reviews of each aren’t mentioned at all here
@@lukeklein5529 dont forget Alejandro, Telephone, Reember, Cooler than me, those other Kesha songs not Tik Tok, Carry out and maybe Bad romance and theres more just cant think of all.
Unpopular opinion: Take It Off has a really good beat for concentration. It got me through a lot of really hard programming classes anyway...
For the longest time I thought Katy Perry or someone like that did the "Baby I like it!" part on that Enrique Iglesias song until I saw the video. Seriously? He sounded like a chick! He's never sounded so girly.
I only just discovered that was him singing it today. I thought it was sung by a woman too!
It really does sound like they pitch-shifted a female voice.
Louis Tomlinson, to be specific.
There's a place on Mars where the women smoke cigars,
And the men wear bikinis and the children drink martinis,
There's a place on Mars.
Keelan Barron- the music to take it off is the sounds like the bit killer had in their comment.
Killekool99-My moms version was this one.
In the land of Mars there's a lady who smokes cigars
Every puff she take's is enough to kill a snake
When the snake are dead we put roses in their heads
When the roses die we put diamonds in their eyes
When the diamonds crack we go back to 68.
It’s from a really old song called streets of Cairo, I think.
I get flashbacks to every party I went to in 2010-11 whenever I hear Taio Cruz's Dynamite. Ahhh, so much sugar-fuelled craziness.
Yeah, Dynamite was great
Yeah, Dynamite has that energy
Maybe it's just nostalgia for one of the best years of my life, but I like and even love every one of these "worst songs" of 2010. lol
Times were simpler so it seems
Dynamite's chorus is also good
Not weird at all.Pop culture's been in the pits since the late 10s-today
@@laurahall7681Simpler because most people here were younger
That Dougie instructional video is for a song called "My Dougie" not the very simularly named "Teach me how to dougie." Weird I know. :l
Yeah, this was before the 2010s rap scene really figured out what it was doing, so the last dregs of the 2000s rap stuck around.
ADoseOfBuckley pointed out that Calli Swag District might've been jealous of that "My Dougie" song so they made their own one.
Or something like that. Idc to re-check
12:42 OH THATS WHERE TAYLOR SWIFT GOT THAT ATROCIOUS RAP LINE FROM
You know, when she fails to rap in Shake It Off, she pulls this exact line and I always knew it was alluding to something but I never got what she was trying to do and
...
Sorry, Im having an epiphany here.
before Enrique Iglesias became proto-Robin Thicke
now he faded into obscurity.
Or not really, depending if the "Bailando" song hit it big outside Europe, which kind of fueled the latino craze for quite a bit, considering he released some more Spanglish songs for the time being
While Thicke kind of burnt out after divorcing Paula Patton and writing an album about her. Seriously, haven't heard of him ever since I believe
2010 Todd, you don’t hate Kesha’s personality, you hate persona that Dr. Luke gave her.
2010: "Taylor Swift is starting to get on my nerves."
Todd, buddy, I have reaaaal bad news about the next decade and a half.
She left country music and somehow got worse yet more popular.
Wow he did somehow become her biggest fan lol
imagine telling this todd that jason derulo would have a number one hit in ten years
Wait so California gurls is on the honorable mentions list but it's his second favorite song of 2010??????
snowcherryleopard guilty pleasure
snowcherryleopard
That’s how it works with Todd, sometimes even he can’t decide if a song is good or not
I actually like All the Right Places. Sure the lyrics are nonsensical, but there's just something I like about it.
7 years later I guarantee you Ke$ha's "Praying" will be on his Top Best 10 of 2017, just funny to look back on this and hearing Todd talk about how much she sucks lol.
He also put her song "Like We're Gonna Die Young" on his Best of 2012 list. It's fun watching these artists and Todd himself evolve.
@Bryan Smith, very well put!
Bryan Smith it's also possible that ke$ha has seen some character growth since 2010 and has grown more and more likeable which u can see cause todd had her in his top ten of 2012
Fr you gotta love prayin
@@ordinarychef Why revisionist? He can still hate the old stuff. He's usually not hypocritical. It's sad though how many people repeat innocent until proven guilty when they know rape and sex assault has a shockingly low conviction rate. If you're not stupid enough to tape yourself doing it, beat her to a pulp or confess, you'll most likely get away with it. But men like to pretend that not convicted the guy didn't do it and women are liars.
A gay joke. Man 2010 was a wild time.
@Luke ? todd isnt homophobic even in the slightest
@@pumpkingreg6673 it was probably one of those things he didn't see as homophobic at the time, he just thought it was normal. takes time to work through these things sometimes, no one's born progressive.
@Luke I think the intention was more just to point out that Enrique doesn't pull off the stupid macho man persona he's going for
@@thatkidwiththehoodie progressivism killed America.
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 get over yourself dude, progressives didn’t storm the capitol.
And this is all the songs I had listen to every 6 AM bus ride to the hellscape of middle school. How did I survive?...
David Fontenot there was a large part of me that died those years lol
To be honest, I love "I like it"! It's dumb but in this day-in-age of sad, depressing music. A dumb, fun party song shines quite a bit.
It's not in this day and age though, it's from almost a decade ago. Back then there were more than enough songs like that, this was a bad one.
Had that song on repeat back in 2010 when it came out now i hate it 🥲
I can't help it, I love "I Like It". It still gets stuck in my head almost nine years later.
10:32 "granted I've never liked a single song they've released"
Good Life and Counting Stars: allow us to introduce ourselves
Wonder what Todd ever thought of Written in the Stars.
Dynamite is a masterpiece don’t @ me
the 3oh!3 moment was so strange man. what a time to be alive.
also this is hardly unique to todd but all the criticisms of ke$ha in 2009-10 are pretty hard to swallow nowadays. you dont even have to be aware of her assault at dr lukes hands to see the strong undercurrent of misogyny in the backlash she received then
Oh god - -Kesha's opening lines sounds like she's trying hard to keep herself together.
Knowing what we know now it makes sense
“My heart just breaks every time he goes ‘UH UH UH HEY!’”
Christina Marie A friend I had about 8 years ago actually liked that song. He’d probably dedicate it to his girlfriend or something. I think my mom likes that song too.
The hate for Dynamite and Airplanes are some of Todd's worst takes
Also Todd complaining about emo country? Oh how times have changed
Indeed, wonder what further retrospect reviews would have for some of the inclusions in this video
I really enjoy watching these as a time capsule of sorts. After more than a decade of these annual reviews, Todd has a valuable series on tap reevaluating these reviews in several different contexts.
Just now realising that the music in airplanes sounds just like love the way you lie. Damn
Love the Way You Lie (which Todd opens this review by playing on the piano) sounds more like Zombie by The Cranberries in my opinion.
My list is:
1: Sexy Bitch - David Guetta feat. Akon
2: Just a Dream - Nelly
3: Say Aah - Trey Songz feat. Fabolous
4: Hey Soul Sister - Train
5: Imma Be - Black Eyed Peas
6: Tie Me Down - New Boyz feat. Ray J
7: Like a G6 - Far East Movement
8: Dynamite - Taio Cruz
9: Baby - Justin Bieber
10: Smile - Uncle Kracker
I love Airplanes because of the sentiment. And dynamite is one of the most iconic songs of the decade. I get they’re jokes tho
I noticed right when Todd talks about MRSA it immediately goes to Massive Attack - Teardrop, didn't know he liked them (i figure)
shadowperson guy I think it's a reference to Dr House
Yeah
I wish more of trip hop crossed over to the USA so more people would learn to appreciate the genre I guess? As Todd mentioned on one of his OHW reviews, trip hop only impacted America with Sneaker Pimps and the House MD theme.
Nice to return to Todds worst take: Take it off, one of the best pop songs of the 2010s, is bad. Wild considering how good his opinions usually age.
Take it off is one Kesha's most obnoxious singles.
this takes me back to my last year of high school..... cus i graduated early 2011 lol. and god these songs were the worst....
*Adam Levine gets hit by a car*
Todd: Thank you.
Sorry you got mrsa :( i had an ex that had it and everything she went through i witnessed, can only imagine how terrible it is to have.
Here's a terrifying fact: All of these songs are considered 'nostalgia' now. Pitbull, OneRepublic, Jason Derulo, all of them.
It's so weird how Kesha was that believable as a vapid party girl
Kinda wonder how good at acting she might be. Too bad her most prominent role in anything was...well...a stinger for that one music-based movie nobody watched or liked...
Holy shit, I'd forgotten 3OH!3 existed. 🤣
Yeah, you and the rest of the world.
You're not the only one.
Probably for the better tbh
I’m having mad high school flashbacks suddenly remembering 3OH!3, Gym Class Heroes, and OneRepublic.
About Teach Me How to Dougie: Some of the girls at my school managed to get me to do it.
Hey at least girls talked to you. And the dougie is a certified cause of the lady boner.
Watched the start of this and was like..... “NONONO! Not f*ing Blah Blah Blah! I thought I’d removed that from my long term memory!”
Take It Off reminds me of an old halloween like song that my mom told me when I was young (don't know where it comes from) that had a similar rhythm.
In the land of Mars there's a lady who smokes cigars
Every puff she take's is enough to kill a snake
When the snake are dead we put roses in their heads
When the roses die we put diamonds in their eyes
When the diamonds crack we go back to 68.
All you have to do is replace the these lyrics with kesha's in time with the beat and there you go.
My First Kiss sounds like a lonely island song
Yeah, if The Lonely Island sucked at making parody songs.
It's crazy to go back to something like this a decade later, literally almost every song here has me bobbing my head and enjoying it, especially In My Head and All The Right Places. Only ones that I don't like are Deuces, Dougie and #1
11:57
I always misheard it as "It's too late for the John", I thought it was a song about a guy with a bladder infection 'cause he held his pee in too long.
Just reminiscing with Todd in the Shadows, 2010🤔 wow I was 15 and started high school!
Idk but my head hurts hearing these songs again-__-
Can't wait to see Cali Swag District be on One Hit Wonderland at some point.
It will be for sure
I didn’t get my first kiss until I was 21...
Lynette TheMadScientist Cool. I haven’t gotten my first kiss or anything relating to that, and I’m 25.
I saw all the worst kisses (no pun intended) in this song......
Preach Gina (sigh) god my life sucks -__-
@@KeyBladeMaster-Dan No problem, dude. My life sucks too. Sorry, but at that time, when I was using the name "Gina Molina", that was my mom's maiden name. I'm actually a dude. I used that name first. Then, I used my real name as my username, and then 2 more times, and now, here we are. This is my real name, and my profile picture is my real face. From early last year. Still having girl problems too... but, as bad your problems are, I highly doubt they're worse than mine. Not saying they're not bad, but, I don't know if they're as awful as mine are, is all I'm saying...
Now I want to watch the video for Misery just to see Adam Levine get beaten up.
Same here. That's the only reason TO watch that video. You know, maybe it's just me, but I actually remember a time when Maroon 5 DIDN'T suck ass. And when Levine wasn't being an ass, and when we all weren't happy to see him get the shit kicked out of him. But, like I said, maybe it's just me? Eh, let's just go back to the clip where he's getting run over by a car again. But in slow motion!
Glad to see the comments are full of people defending Take it Off. Never liked Tick Tock, I like Your Love is My Drug, but I LOVE Take it Off. Still listen to it pretty often and don’t really ever skip it if it comes up on shuffle.
Todd is so indecisive about Katy perry it’s funny. All the songs he likes from her his defense is “ we need stupid pop songs “ and the typical attack on her is “ she’s stupid “. He put California gurls on the top ten at number 2 and on the dishonorable mentions while never mentioning in either list that he put it on the other. At least he’s self aware that before 2015 he’s really bad at being a non bias critic
this was so nostalgic for me. I miss bands like onerepublic, even if their music didn't age well
I got agree with you in regards to "In My Head," but I find myself liking the cover version by Mayday Parade quite a bit. Maybe if you subtract Derulo, it's enjoyable, if mindless.
As someone who was in high school that year, we were all unfortunately doing the dougie, it was a craze
I can’t stand Pitbull but he sounds like Shakespeare compare to 99% of these mumble rappers in the late 2010’s & early 2020’s...
Yeah definitely :D Can't understand why anyone would think late 2010s music is better than earl 2010s...
Lol true
I get a good laugh when I look back on that period between Michael Jackson's death and Gangnam Style, People really thought the world was going down the toilet because of all the shitty music (and that's without mentioning the shit we thought was gonna go down in 2012). Making death threats to teenage pop singers and rappers was like milk and cereal at breakfast and we pretty much considered Adele to be the one thing saving music!!
"I'm Ke$ha and this is Tik Tok". early 2010's Kesha was soo ahead of her time in the art of being annoying.
i have a weird experience with 303. i was around 14 and already had my belack belt in taekwondo, with me already being pretty advanced, i had to take a few sparring classes with adults and some high school and some college kids, this class had everyone who at this point in my life have been teaching me taekwondo for over 11 years. another thing to mention is that right next to my class was a kick boxing class filled with older ladies, a d they always had a CD player with a bunch of old mid 2000 songs. so one day during this class, im trying so hard to be focused and not like a little kid, then i hear frok the other room 303 'Dont trust me'. when i started to hear it with its dumb emo sound, i almost started laughing, but when they said 'if your boyfriends got beef then tell him im a vegetarian' not only me, but my whole class started to break down and start laughing like crazy
Watching this in 2019 and seeing him change his mind about kesha lol.
"Guess who's back? And in WIIIIDE screen, baby!"
UA-cam upload squeezes it into a 4:3 screen.
I think you should make a top 10 worst songs of 2010 list. So we can actually see a full ranking. I bet most of these songs wouldn’t even be mentions aside from My First Kiss.
Ah yes, time for me to rewatch the ten worst pop songs, a genre I dont really listen to, from 2010, a year I cant remember any music from.
Also Todd I love you for using a Massive Attack song even if most of your audience doesnt know much about them.
Why assume Todd's audience doesn't know of Massive Attack? 🤔 I like them, I got excited just yesterday when they played "Angel" in a play I went to see.
@@sonofagun4125 I'm pretty sure it's a minority of his audience who know them. I'm not sure how large the crossover appeal between triphop/idm and pop music fans are
Not trying to be snarky or anything, but since nobody else has mentioned it, he very likely used the Massive Attack song because it was used as the theme music for the show House, which was appropriate because he was talking about contracting a rare disease. He may very well be a fan of them independently too; I have no idea either way. Just making sure to explain a 2010 pop culture reference that may not have survived to 2022.
@@levimorris8028 Oh that's interesting, thanks for the factoid!
This is way late but I'm willing to bet that greater than a "minority" of Todd's viewers are aware of one of the biggest trip-hop groups in history... most people are exposed to the top 40 at some point in their lives even if their musical tastes lie elsewhere. And yes, some people like both Katy Perry *and* Portishead 😊
Looking back on this, its incredibly amusing that 10 years on 3OH!3 went again to collab with some widely despised and often considered annoying pop singers. This time it was 100 gecs.
we can admit that in some way this was Kesha's year
When I was in high school, the workout room in our gym (which I'd always escape to so I wouldn't have to suffer through group sports) had maybe three CDs played on a loop if we didn't opt to listen to the radio or (in my case) our Shuffles. (I'm a dinosaur.) One of them was a mix of songs from around 2010, maybe some from 2009. Might've been one of the NOW! compilations. Point is, I heard most of the songs on this list many times, and if I never hear I Like It or In My Head again it'll be too soon.
It's so funny when 'thugs' make tutorials about dancing
it looks so goofy LOL
10:49 That is correct. "Wings" by Birdy was co-written by Ryan Tedder, and it sounds similar to "Stop and Stare" in a way. Similar syllabic delivery, damn slow tempo, possibly similar arrangement as well
3OH!3’s “My First Kiss” is the Lonely Island’s rotten leftovers!
My First Kiss makes me want to vomit every single time I hear it. HOW DID THAT SONG GET PAST WRITING IT DOWN ON PAPER?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?
I love how at 15:25 accidentally predicted the 1989 album
I've spent the last decade trying to forget that era of music because I despised it so much. Generic twangy folk, dated snap-rap and every mainstream artist was churning out club song after club song. Especially when I worked as a dishwasher and had to hear that shit 50 times a day. It got so out of hand that Adele, Bruno Mars, Foster The People and Gotye seemed like a breath of fresh air.
P.S "In My Head" sounds like a dime-store knockoff of "Break Your Heart"
My Top Five Worst Songs Of 2010:
1: Chris Brown, Tyga & Kevin McCall-Deuces
2: Train-Hey, Soul Sister
3: The Black Eyed Peas-Imma Be
4: Young Money Ft Lloyd-Bedrock
5: Ke$ha & 30H!3-BlahBlahBlah
I worked in a store that played "All The Right Moves" all the time and it got annoying FAST so I can relate.
I remember when my classmates at a school dance tried to teach me how to dougie... i just sorta made up the moves until we collectively just agreed that was the dougie now
Anyone else here watching this as a reminder for how far we’ve come this decade?
I like "i like it" xP i think it's because its catchy and i like is voice but I don't like the rap. It's just one of the like 5 American pop songs i like.
I like that DeRulo song despite myself. Other Side is a pretty great song though. No goofy sounds, just him singing his ass off.
At least it isn't his 2014 output (shudder).
