What's the worst song ever?

In the midst of rehearsing, Carole decides to go over a particular vocal part- Celine decides to do her typical over-emoting by taking the phrase and adding multiple-gymnastics-notes and Carole stops her dead her tracks and says, "No, no, no- just one note. Not a lot of notes- just one note." You could tell that Carole was irritated by the whole thing.

I try to ignore modern Celine Dion to a degree. Yes, she plays around too much. I love her French music, as I've said at least eighty times. I made the mistake of buying an album of a concert in Paris because it has performances of some of my favorite songs (not just of hers but of all time) like "Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore" and "Les Derniers Seront Les Premiers" and I was so, soooooooooo disappointed because she ruined all her own songs by playing with them. They were perfect on the original albums but she put all kinds of acrobatics with them that didn't belong on this CD. It was awful. And what was even worse was that in this song called "Un Garcon Pas Comme Les Autres," she had children singing with her! You have to understand how ridiculously inappropriate that is because the song is about the pain of being in love with someone who's gay! Why was was a childrens' chorus singing along? That really baffled me. And I have this other live CD that someone got me as a gift that was yet another Paris concert in which she was singing "Le Monde Est Stone," which is quite dark and talks about wanting to die and she had to make all these stupid noises when she did it live! It was totally inappropriate!

So, I know what you're talking about. But I will always love the album versions of many of her songs. Some are just plain beautiful and have wonderful lyrics (not written by her, of course). Plus, I performed "Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore" twice at my university (and I didn't play with it ), and I got numerous compliments and people telling me that I should be a professional singer, etc. I don't deserve that and it saddens me to an extent because I'd love to be a singer, but "Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore" will always be very close to me because of that.

You hate it so much you were forced to use a Stevie lyric to describe your dislike.

And you are freaking CRAZY to think that song is the bad let alone the worst song ever.

Hands To Heaven - Breathe (can't stand that song, WAY too cheesy)

The Thong Song - Sisqo (I liked it at one point, until public radio overplayed it within an inch of its life)

....And basically anything rap these days gets on my nerves.
