25. B*Witched: Cest La Vie (1998)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvjLgjtJKsc The intro is utterly pointless. Need I say more? Well, the vocals arent the strongest feature, but the jaunty production manages to salvage the song a bit. But the chorus is also quite lazy and when they all attempt to sing in unison, it sounds like a rather lame high school choir. Its quite monotone, which is quite jarring on the production. The key change for the final chorus works much better, as it appears theyre actually putting in some effort. If that were consistent throughout the song, then all would be alright. I say alright, its still far from a credible song. The speaking adlibs are just ridiculous. 24. Cover Drive: Twilight (2012)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73noUWDDpWw Admittedly, the lead vocalist isnt horrible. Shes not amazing, but she blends rather well with the mediocre production. The main issue with this song, as hinted at, is the rather shoddy production, which plods along. Also, the chorus fails to take advantage of the vocalist, as shes forced to hold notes left, right and centre. And then the rap kicks in. Not to sound overdramatic, but it is absolutely horrendous. Lasting for about fifteen seconds, it adds nothing to the song whatsoever. But then again, its not actually a surprise that its included, as they also fail to utilise their lead vocalist accordingly. The less said about it the better. 23. Westlife: Uptown Girl (2001)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=489HLBsev8M Its clear this was released for the dolla, because the delivery leaves a lot to be desired. Westlife are much better when churning out a ballad or two. On the more energetic numbers, they tend to struggle a bit as their voices dont really suit the quicker pace. So why they chose to slaughter Billy Joels Uptown Girl, Ill never know. Its quite a weak performance on the boys behalf, and they only really appear to settle once they hit the outro. However, by that point its too late, and the song which has been dragging its heels for three minutes hits an overdue climax. 22. Will.I.Am: Scream & Shout (2012)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYtGl1dX5qI Guess whos back. Back again. Williams back. Please dont tell your friends. I make no secret to the fact that Im not Will.I.Ams biggest fan, but objectively speaking this song is not very good. The production is rather lacklustre and Britney Spears isnt even recognisable, being that Will.I.Am has auto tuned her to Mars and back... not as much as her diabolical appearance on Rihannas S&M, but that didnt hit number one in the UK. Britneys appearance isnt even that memorable, being that she repeats the same three words on loop. Will.I.Ams rap is also quite lazy, and its clear he favours the production over his ability to string together a verse or two. 21. Take That: Patience (2006)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=273eSvOwpKk When Take That announced their comeback, thousands all over the country were rejoicing. But then they had to go and release Patience. Its not terrible... but it definitely wont sit atop any Take That fans favourites list. The chorus is quite offensive, as Gary Barlow attempts to showcase his rather impressive falsetto. The execution however leaves much to be desired. It leaves many people flinching and yanking their headphones out of their ears before it strikes again. It was always going to hit number one for being Take That, its just a shame they had to single their comeback with such a subpar song.
