10. More Politicians
“My name is Barack Obama, and I approve this message.” If you
turned on your television during the end of 2012, you would most likely hear a
commercial playing of Mitt Romney singing the National Anthem or Obama telling
us why we are better off after four years. The heated debates between the two
competitors got old really fast. Luckily, the election is over and only have to
worry about fiscal cliffs, debt ceilings, and whatever they cook up for us
next. Enough with politics, let’s just let the president do his job for the
next four years.
9. Psy
“Oppan
Gangam Style!” These are lyrics known maybe too well by the majority of the US.
Park Jae-sang, better known as his stage name Psy, is the Korean Pop singer who
created the song. “Gangam Style” was released July 15th, 2012 and
has generated over 1.10 billion views on YouTube, surpassing Justin Bieber’s
“Baby.” The video is known for the infamous “horse dance” that Psy does in the
video. Although this song is catchy and popular we’re tired of the endless
re-makes and appearences. Even hearing it once forever burns it into your
brain. Because it was overplayed so much, the song has become annoying. We
don’t need another repetitive annoying beat, so let’s say goodbye to Psy this
year.
8. Rihanna
Does anyone even remember the sweet Barbadian singer who sang “Pon de
Replay,” “S.O.S,” and “Umbrella”? Now
all Rihanna sings about is sex. If you compare some of her songs now like
“S&M” and “Diamonds” to some of her older songs, you would hear a huge
difference. Sometimes change is good in singers, but ever since the Chris Brown
incident in 2009, there has been a notable difference in her appearance and
music. And now, Rihanna and Chris Brown may even be back together! Her
inappropriate music is filling the ears of teenagers, and it needs to stop.
Before something bad happens to her again, let’s hope she dies out.
7. Honey Boo Boo
‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’, aka maybe the most pointless show on
television has taken over. Coming out in August 2012, this show is about a six
year old pageant girl Alana along with her mother June and father Mike. This
family originally gained fame in TLC’s Toddlers
in Tiaras, so why do we need to see them again? This show receives high
views and ratings, but some of us really want it to be gone. It exploits young
children and has examples of obesity, poverty, and child rearing practices.
Parents should not encourage their children to watch this show. It seems
nowadays television show writers think of the stupidest things and turn it into
a program. Let’s hope “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” changes to “There Goes Honey
Boo Boo”; forever.
6. Nicki Minaj
Take a few phrases that have nothing to do with anything, put
in some nonsense, add a beat and you’ve created a Nicki Minaj song! Nicki Minaj is a rap/pop artist who has
gained too much fame. She is known for her songs like “Moment For Life,”
“Superbass,” and “Starships.” Sure her songs are catchy and great to dance to,
but this girl is top notch annoying. Do we even know her real hair color? She’s
had pink, green, orange, blue, blonde, black, dip dyed, spotted, stripped,
long, short, curly, and straight hair; different every time we’ve seen her. Not
to mention her music videos are a mess of provocative dancing, bright colors,
too much make up, and her huge eyes blinking. Her voice has rang in our ears
for maybe too much time. Hopefully, she will slowly die out in 2013.
5. Snooki
Nicole Polizzi, or, ‘Snooki’ is a celebrity from MTV. She is
well known for her role in all six seasons of MTV’s reality show Jersey Shore.
Although this show had many teenagers glued to their televisions, The Lance is
relieved to see an end. However, just when we thought the wave of GTL and
Italians was over, Snooki and her co-star/friend Jennifer Farley (JWoww) signed
a contract for a spin-off show called “Snooki & JWoww.” Season Two comes
out in early January, but most people are hoping it’s the last. Not only will
her new show give her publicity, but with her new baby Lorenzo, there just
seems like there’s no way to get rid of her.
4. Another Boyfriend for Taylor Swift
Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, Lucas Till, John Mayor, Corey
Monteith, Toby Hemingway, Jake Gyllenhaal, Zac Efron, Garret Hedlund, Eddie
Redmayne, Conner Kennedy, Patrick Shwartzenegger, and Harry Styles. These 13
men all have one thing in common: they’ve all dated Taylor Swift over the
course of the last four years. These breaks-up have led to Swift’s prodigious
outpouring of pop emotion, and she’s only 23. These songs include “We Are Never
Getting Back Together “(Jake Gyllenhaal), “Back to December” (Taylor Lautner),
“Dear John” (John Mayor) and many more. In recent interviews Taylor complains
that she doesn’t want to be “that girl that goes from boy to boy.” Cool it with
the boys Taylor! At this point, boys may try and date Taylor just for the
publicity. She is currently with Harry Styles, but if that relationship ends,
we can look forward to another Taylor Swift song on the radio, “Out of Style.”
3. Kim Kardashian’s baby
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are having a baby! The
Kardashians have blossomed in the celebrity world with their show “Keeping up
with the Kardashians” and are known for their beauty. Kim Kardashian has had
her fair share of spin-off shows and publicity, and now she’s pregnant. Kanye
and she are not married, meaning this is probably another publicity stunt. In
2011, Kim married Kris Humphries, but the marriage only last 72 days, wasting
millions of dollars. For the next nine months we are most likely going to hear
nonstop updates and problems with Kim’s pregnancy and relationship with Kanye
West. Babies last a lifetime, so pray for Baby Kardashian
2. One Direction
One Direction is a pop boy band from England who became
famous from The X Factor, but who am I kidding, you probably already knew that.
Teenage girls (typically) worship these boys like they are their gods, and
frankly, it’s annoying. These boys play regularly on every pop radio station,
interview, and commercial. One Direction has taken ‘Bieber Fever’ to an all new
level with their fans known as “Directioners.” One bad word against these boys
and you might have your head torn off. One Direction has stolen a majority of
girls’ hearts with their songs like “What Makes You Beautiful” and “One Thing.”
1. Justin Bieber
Will Bieber Fever ever come to an end? This 18 year old
sensation doesn’t even need an introduction. This Canadian pop artist is
already known around the world. He has his army of “Beliebers” that have been
with him the whole ride on his journey to fame. His music video for “Baby” is
the second most viewed video on YouTube (to “Gangam Style”), and the boy is
even famous for his hair. He has 30 million followers on twitter, second only
to Lady Gaga! He is the heartthrob of many teenage girls nowadays, but what
makes him so great? Many paparazzi risk their lives just to get a shot of this
young artist. He’s been in the spotlight ever since 2008, but it’s time for him
to go. Hopefully in the near future “Bieber Fever” will be cured and a new
artist will step into the spotlight. Still, preferably not One Direction.
