Oy, that Taylor Swift. One minute, she's telling the guy he belongs with her; the next, she says they are never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, getting back together. ("Like, ever.") Were Debbie Gibson and Tiffany so damn bipolar?

And if I were that guy, I would make like I totally lost Carly's number. #callyounever

You know, "Friday" was a pretty wretched song, sung by a then-teenaged girl whose voice was...well...not great. But the amount of venom spewed forth in Rebecca Black's direction was, in retrospect, not entirely deserved. For one, she didn't write it -- and even if she had, what do you expect a teenager to write or sing about? If she had performed something more provocative, I believe she would have caught just as much flak, if not worse, either for being a poseur or for being a total slut.

Queen Taylor.

Her poor haters stay pressed. She remains the voice of a generation, one of the consistently top rated and performing acts in the business. She's successful because she sings what she feels and people can connect with that.

Your faves could only get the critical and commercial success she does in their dreams.

Call me maybe is one of those songs I truly hate yet sing and big my head to when it's in for a few. Then I hate myself for it lol.

Friday is just... No. Awful.

YES. YES. YES. That song makes me physically ill. The first time I heard it, I vowed NEVER to listen to it again, I hated it THAT much. I broke that promise for some insane reason last night--nope, still hate it.

The fact that there are people who hate Terry Jacks' version of "Seasons in the Sun", which came out the same year as this song (1974, called by more than one person the worst year for pop music ever--music critic Greil Marcus was once quoted as saying “We could say [1974] was a conspiracy by Malcolm McLaren to set the stage for the Sex Pistols"), more than this atrocity completely boggles my mind. Seriously? This is MUCH worse than "Seasons in the Sun." RETCH.

This song, from the guy who gave us the Johnny Carson theme and "My Way." Alrighty then.

"Afternoon Delight" needs to be mentioned too. One of the biggest hits of 1976, but...ack. No.

ETA: FWIW, Here's the Billboard Year End list of the biggest hits of 1974. YMMV on whether or not it really was the worst year for pop music ever:

You could ask 100.000 people, and you would get 100.000 different lists of this kind

Most of these songs are so new that I've personally managed to avoid them altogether since I don't really listen to current music. The only ones I really recognized were "Cotton Eye Joe" and "The Ketchup Song" (which by the way is the second longest-running #1 on the Swedish charts with 17 weeks, only beaten by Baccara, who topped the charts for 20 straight weeks with "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie")

Haha!! 1974 was actually one of the best years in music history. There were just a few stinkers sprinkled in. But things like ":the Streak" don't bother me, that kind off stuff is just good for a laugh. Any year that can turn out a priceless pop gem like "Rock The Boat" is good in my book, and 1974 is also the year that Abba exploded, and Helen Reddy was still in the midst of her huge run of hits. . . I agree, the Paul Anka song is puke worthy. One of my most hated is this one, 8 freakin words in the whole song, and the most monotonous song ever.

    • My only recollection of Ms Felder in Tom Lissanti's book is that she was not well liked backstage, and nobody was aware of rumors that she was fired because of her looks, including the network executive interviewed for the book.
    • a) you would not be sorry, but  b) full episodes from the first half of '89 are hard to find. 
    • Ya see..., that's why I can't watch this show on my own!

      I'm ripping it for being dumb, meanwhile half the episode goes over my head.  Hello pot, I'm kettle.
    • When put very plainly it wouldn't make sense, but you could say that Ashley would prefer someone that can pay his own way without sharing expenses and has more than a working class experience. Andre might want someone more stable and level headed. Of course the issue is that the characters don't match despite the plausibility of a connection making s
    • I am fine with no one mentioning Bob-ette again.  It's frustrating not ever knowing what was up with him truly or why we wasted so much time on that to never get a conclusion.  I am willing to forget it though. Abe being on the board makes more sense to me because of Lexie and Theo.  I think there was a wing dedicated to Autism research or treatment years ago possibly named after Theo and Lexie was the chief of staff at some points and worked there for years.  I could see Abe having interest in the hospital still.
    • TR eventually came to be a nickname for Theresa Regina, the name her kidnappers gave her. Estelle never referred to her as Rebecca, though, always Theresa. I guess that was what TR wanted.    TR went to Switzerland. Jane returned for the last week.  After Ryder died, TR never had a love interest. I assume they gave up. I wouldn’t have dropped John Loprieno as Danny but he got squeezed out by Quinn, really. A TR/Evie/Jerry triangle might’ve worked.    David Forsyth and Jackie Schultz had good chemistry. I liked Luann though. I think Sharon Gabet would’ve been a more interesting recast, and she might’ve kept Joe Lambie on as Lloyd.    But Suzi and Wendy were gone, and Liza was talking about leaving town to join Gary in Africa, so before the cancellation, I do believe Liza was getting phased out.  Sunny and Patti and Evie were set up as heroines, and it was a small show. 
    • Andre/Ashley are a mismatch and not in a cute opposites attract sort of way. He is a very stylish photographer, independently wealthy, wordly  and she is a simple, struggling nurse with limited experiences. He has been having a covert sexual relationship with an older divorced woman and she is involved with a meat and potatoes blue collar  dude. Just  don't see what the attraction would be on either side.
    • I read that somewhere too - maybe it was mentioned in that book? I hope it's true.
    • I took a break from Edge of Night to finally start watching this. I watched the first week's worth of episodes. I started off chronologically even though they released the show originally with the Barnabas era first (don't know when he comes in). I had those discs in the complete coffin collection. I'm watching the complete series on Amazon so I hope Amazon doesn't pull a Knots Landing and yank the series before I finish as I don't have all of the beginning episodes. Thoughts: I appreciate the creepy black and white vibe and how everything is so mysterious even when it's just people walking into rooms. I also like seeing actors I know (Louis Edmonds, Joan Bennett, Mitchell Ryan, Conrad Bain (although he might be a cameo), etc.). It was nice to finally see Joel Crothers as I have yet to see him on Edge of Night. Crothers is quite looking so I wish he'd show up on EON. Mitchell Ryan is also attractive. I like how they set up Devlin's animosity towards the Collins family during this week.  We're left to wonder why Roger is so upset. Why is Devlin angry? What happened to Roger's wife? Who wrote to Victoria? Not much has really happened but I'm intrigued. The dialogue is certainly not on the level of EON. It amuses me they leave bloopers in. Bennett in particular struggles with doors. Was this filmed live?
