9. "I Want You to Want Me" by Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay's Version: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jNPZrO8jBG8
The Original Version: http://youtube.com/watch?v=1sCOf6MsH0o
Why On the List: This was not originally supposed to be on my list. I had planned to have Mandy Moore's "Moonshadow" here, but I came across this one three days ago. From the first three seconds, I realized that this was a perfect choice. Lindsay's nasally and monotonous voice ruined a great song. I might be a little biased because I listened to a lot of Cheap Trick on my house growing up. But anyone who's never even heard of them can appreciate Lindsay's suckiness. It's rare for an actor to successfully transition into the music business, and LiLo's proved that she can't. (Sidenote: I'm hearing Scarlett Johansson's album is awful!) 2:56 sounds almost like a demon possesses her while singing "I want you." A simple sentence. Destroyed. Just like this song.
Why not higher: As I said, this was a last minute replacement. And I didn't want to scramble the rest of the list. But Top 10 is an honor enough in itself, right?
--------------------------------------8. "My Generation" by Hilary Duff
Hilary's Version: http://youtube.com/watch?v=OPPuwx-fiIo&feature=related
The Original Version: http://youtube.com/watch?v=K4-tRkgSjTw
Why On the List: No words describe this song. I'm almost tempted to just leave this "Why On the List" space blank because that might get you to listen to this song to hear for yourself. It's that bad. It's almost disgusting. Oh, and she changed one of the lyrics just to appeal to her fanbase. Wikipedia stated, "It should also be noted that the famous line "I hope I die before I get old" was changed to "I hope I don't die before I get old", which caused anger among Who fans." Before I said that some song could be used as a method of torture. I take it back. THIS song is much worse. Hilary must have thought she could pull off rock and roll when recording this. But it's really nothing more than nothing. The keyboard part sucks, the teen-pop sounding background is a sucky beat, and the vocals are nothing to talk about. She sounds like a 2-year-old listening to her mom's old albums. And it shows.
Why not higher: You have no idea how tempted I was to put this higher. But 1-7 are hysterically worse. I thought this was the highest I could possibly place this song.
