And now for something completely pointless...

I used to love watching the Muchmusic countdown every week when I was younger. Back in '96 I'd wait with baited breath for Friday evening so I can see if my favourites were closer to number one (Smashing Pumpkins- Tonight, Tonight). I stopped caring sometime around the explosion of teen pop and never really got back into it. It's pretty useless anyway, like where do their statistics even come from? What are they measuring? Why should I care?

So anyway the point: I watched the Muchmusic Countdown last night because there was nothing else on tv and have decided to review the Top 1o.

#10. Evanescence- Call Me When You're Sober.
Damn I thought I was never going to have hear this vampire woman's voice ever again. This song sucks, it's lame, it sounds like it should have been released like 5 years ago and I can't stand her voice. Amy whatever-her-name-is has learned an age old lesson, don't fall for alcoholics. I also learned this lesson but I didn't write a stupid ass song about it. NEXT.

#9. Nelly Furtado- Maneater.
This is song is fun I must admit. However the video is lame. I couldn't even watch it, it was trying way to hard to be an 80s video. Sorry it is impossible to recreate the majesty of the cheesy 80s video. So don't bother.

#8. JoJo - Too Little, Too Late.
Oh Jesus. First of all this dude is way too old for little JoJo. He apologizes for some unknown indiscretion by giving her a ticket to his soccer game. Oh wow, good job there dude. She may only be 15 and easy to manipulate but a soccer ticket??? It all goes downhill from there, the dude plays soccer, JoJo is sad, she has a rain scene and throws some shit around. Note to creepy record execs: 15 is too young for a rain scene, you could get arrested for that shit.

#7. Hedley- Gunnin'
Blah. PeeWee Herman Junior's girlfriend has anorexia. I don't care.

#6. Alexisonfire- This Could Be Anywhere in the World.
I like this song. I like this video. Some good Canadian content for once.

#5. Hinder- Lips of an Angel.
What the hell is this shit? What an ugly man. Get off the damn phone! You're girlfriend can totally hear you.
How much do you wanna bet these guys are friends with Nickelback. Gross.

#4. City and Colour- Comin' Home.
This one is okay, pretty inoffensive. A little boring but the song is decent enough.

#3. The Killers- When You Were Young.
Another ok song, wow that's insane. The video makes absolutely no sense. Why are the Killers in a bar in Mexico? Why do they look like 70s porn stars? Who is the girl? I'm lost.

#2. George- Talk To Me.
Are you kidding me? Who is this douche? He's such a little worm. Plus his song REALLY sucks. If some guy ever sang shit like this to me I'd ask him where he left his balls. Also, nice stage name asshole.

#1. Billy Talent- Red Flag.
Not bad. An ok song for sure. I find I kinda zone out when it comes to the video but hey that means nothing as I zone out all the time.

So there you have it the top ten of... something.
