If you enjoy soap operas and Lifetime movies, you may not see anything wrong with this video. However, for those of us who find such things unbearably cheesy, this video is a case-in-point. The exaggerated facial expressions, the bloody hands, the attractive blond woman in the background, the love-making scenes (yes, love-making scenes)... it's just too much.

Unlike the above video, which is a bad video that's still an amusing watch, this video has virtually no redeeming qualities. The creative concept is simply live footage faded into assorted pictures of the band. It's the kind of thing that someone with a Mac and a video-making program could whip together in an hour, tops. Music-wise, it sounds like what you would get if the Charlie Daniels Band (of "Devil Went Down To Georgia" fame) decided to start mimicking bands like Staind. If you try to listen to just the string instruments, you can almost make it through the whole video.
B-Boy Jay-Roc: "Str8 To The Top"

This video really isn't so bad. The music isn't so bad, either. If you like slick-produced rap artists, then this is probably right up your alley. This video is in the "worst" category on a strictly hypocritical level. Within the first few minutes, B-Boy Jay-Roc (or at least I'm assuming it's B-Boy Jay-Roc, but there's tons of people in the video) spits the line: "I don't want a damn thing from this industry." Quite the odd thing to say in a video that has been submitted for a contest where the prize is a record deal, no?
