00:00I ain't no clown girl, I am a freakin' showgirl
00:04Hey, hello and welcome to WatchMojo Español.
00:07I am Jay.
00:08Today we tell you what are the worst songs that artists have used to promote their great return
00:14and they left us wanting to be left in the retreat.
00:23Number 10
00:24Can't Get Enough
00:25Jennifer Lopez
00:27Tell death to us part
00:28J.Lo's 2024 has been crazy and with that we mean a fatal madness.
00:33A decade after her last studio album, she returned to music with an album, a movie and a planned tour, all titled This Is Me Now.
00:41I just wanna, I just feel like, every time I see you it's like, oh, hey
00:49The new era celebrated its reconciliation and marriage with its former fiancé Ben Affleck,
00:54which she called the greatest love story ever told.
00:58Unfortunately, things didn't start well with the main single, Can't Get Enough.
01:03Can't get enough
01:05Show us some love
01:06It's not terrible, but it sounds like its hits from the 2000s of the first era of Bennifer, without much evolution.
01:14I'm still in love
01:20With you boy
01:23In addition to the low performance and the derivative nature of the song, its lyrics and the video with a noxious theme aged badly.
01:30Lopez and Affleck announced their second breakup even before the year was over.
01:35Don't catch it, it's cursed
01:36Number 9
01:37Get Her Back
01:38Robin Thicke
01:39All I wanna do is make it right, make it right
01:44The future of her career was blurry.
01:47I know you want it
01:49After this song, it was clear that her return was not an option.
01:53In Get Her Back, Robin Thicke regrets his separation from his wife, actress Paula Patton.
01:58The song was not only very far from the catchy Blurred Lines, but it overestimated the public's interest in her personal life.
02:06I'll wait forever for you to love me again
02:11All I wanna do is keep it light, keep it light
02:15Although Thicke was a solid name, it was based on the story of his relationship with Patton and he believed that people were interested in him, but it was not like that.
02:23It's make it right, make it right
02:26All I wanna do is give you that thing, play you that song you and your girlfriend sing
02:32Maybe it would not have gone well if he had recreated Blurred Lines, but Get Her Back is not even close to what made that song a success.
02:40I gotta treat her right, I gotta cherish her for life
02:45Number 8. Slow Clap, Gwen Stefani
02:48You'll be angry, I'll be flying, you'll be purple, unfunny
02:53This song is like Gwen would say, P-A-N-A-N-A-S
02:57P-A-N-A-N-A-S
02:59Slow Clap was the second of the two singles with which he intended to give the starting shot to his fifth album as a soloist, but contrary to what the title indicates, it was received rather with the sound of the crickets and no applause.
03:14Clap, clap, clap, clap, slow clap
03:16Walk into the room like a boss, slow clap
03:19Put on a little excess, slow clap
03:21The song that has Sweetie in the remix would sound good in a DreamWorks movie or in a back-to-school ad.
03:30The setting of the video in a gym is a clear nod to Stefani's previous success, Only Bad Girl, but it seems a youthful and empty attempt to recreate the magic of this without any of its advantages.
03:43Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, slow clap
03:48Since the album never arrived, Slow Clap seems to have ended this part of his career. Someone must have told him to lower the pompoms.
03:57Five forty-four a.m. I surrender, amen
04:03Number 7. Not Myself Tonight, Christina Aguilera
04:07Tonight I'm feeling a little out of control
04:11This title of this song tells you everything you need to know.
04:15Cause I'm doing things that I normally don't do
04:19With electropop rising at the beginning of the 2010s, Christina Aguilera followed the trend in her poorly achieved album Bionic, starting with the main single, Not Myself Tonight.
04:38In this Aguilera shamelessly imitated the style of the then newly arrived Lady Gaga in a way that seemed a lack of respect for her own legacy.
04:47She even looks like her in some moments of the video.
04:57It is painfully clear that that was the intention.
05:01Not Myself Tonight is not necessarily bad, it just sounds like a diluted version of Pucker Face from an artist with more than a decade of own successes.
05:11Number 6. Yummy, Justin Bieber
05:18With his 2015 album Purpose, Justin Bieber achieved the apparently impossible.
05:25He succeeded in his teenage reputation and people who were not pre-teenagers could openly admit that they liked him without feeling ridiculous.
05:33Unfortunately, this change had a momentary downfall with his next main single, Yummy, from 2020.
05:40More a TikTok song than a single as such did not make sense, it was repetitive and caused people to question their rehabilitated image.
06:01Unlike many other songs on this list, Yummy was a success and did not harm Bieber's career.
06:07However, the fact of listening to it everywhere made it unbearable.
06:12Although it was universally criticized, it was everywhere.
06:18Despite the fact that the lyrics and visual effects remind us of a stomach ache or cramps, in reality it was our ears that suffered the most.
06:29Number 5. Solar Power, Lorde
06:32I hate the winter, can't stand the cold.
06:36From the Beach Boys to Jimmy Buffet, many artists have sung about tropical holidays in a hurry.
06:42But when Lorde started his blinding era of girls with solar power, the vibes were off.
06:50Come on, come on, tell you my secrets, I'm kinda like a prettier Jesus.
06:56The song was strange but familiar at the same time.
06:59Of course Lorde had to evolve as music, but this change was far from what fans wanted from her, especially in the middle of the pandemic.
07:18To top it off, it sounded tediously similar to past classics like George Michael's Freedom 90.
07:26I have to do now, is to take these lies and make them true.
07:34Given the state of the world, people needed more substance from the artist who had made the melodrama popular.
07:40I'm waiting for it like we love, I want it.
07:43Instead, they listened to Lisa Frank's musical equivalent of art.
07:48I'm waiting for it like we love, I want it.
07:55Number 4. Too Cold, Vanilla Ice.
07:58Stop, come out of the way and listen. Ice is back, I got a brand new invention.
08:03This comeback was totally new in some aspects and a reference in others.
08:088 years after the success of Ice Ice Baby from 1990.
08:13Vanilla Ice Ice Baby
08:16Vanilla Ice released her third album, Hard to Swallow.
08:20Instead of continuing with the rap-pop toy of the beginnings of her career, they adopted a totally different sound, nu-metal.
08:32The main single, Too Cold, was a re-elaborated version of Ice Ice Baby, in the style of Korn and Limp Bizkit.
08:46Although the change of genre was an admirable creative risk, they omitted the iconic piano riff of the original, taken from Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie.
08:59Too Cold gave a second life to Vanilla Ice's career, but it didn't work in the long run.
09:10Number 3. Filthy, Justin Timberlake.
09:17After his impeccable success of Can't Stop the Feeling, JT trolled us all with Filthy.
09:33The main single of the album, Man of the Woods, managed to sneak into the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, but it lacked the longevity of its previous eras.
09:43Filthy managed to be a success and a song without importance at the same time.
09:55It is not up to par with its previous successes, nor does it commit to the album's inspirations, leaving it stuck in an uncomfortable limbo.
10:04Timberlake's most recent production is not doing much better, and his 2024 singles Selfish and Drown do not manage to connect with the modern audience.
10:21Number 2. Milk Money, Fergie.
10:23This song paved the way for his failure with the national anthem of the United States to be able to run.
10:33Almost a decade after his debut album as a soloist of the Dutchess, Fergie was preparing for his sequel, Double Dutchess.
10:41His main single, L.A. Love La La, was already on the market since 2014, and Milf from 2016 was going to revive the era.
10:50However, not even the music video full of stars in which Kim Kardashian and Chrissy Teigen appeared, could counteract its overloaded production and shrieking voices.
11:10Without a doubt, we must talk about the egotism that singers face, but Fergie's ode to sexy motherhood was simply bad.
11:30After Milf, we would not be surprised to see an ad for his career in a milk carton.
11:41Hey! We're not done yet, but almost.

11:52Surely you will like them. Now yes, let's go to the end.
11:56Number 1. Woman's World, Katy Perry.
11:59Sexy, confident, so intelligent.
12:06Sometimes a song is enough for an artist's career to go from American Idol to American Horror Story.
12:13Superhuman, number one.
12:16Katy Perry had problems since her 2017 album Witness had a very low performance, but the release of Woman's World was a total disaster.
12:26It's a woman's world and you're lucky to be living in it.
12:32The song was criticized for its outdated sound, superficial feminist pop lyrics and the production of Dr. Luke, the subject of accusations by singer Kesha.
12:42Woman's World was especially frustrating because it could have been successful if Perry had played his cards well.
12:49You better set the fire in the brain.
12:53Cause baby we ain't going away.
12:56In the year of Chapel Rowan and Sabrina Carpenter, the pop scene in general is the closest to its original style.
13:03And there were many expectations.
13:06Unfortunately, the song did not go white and crushed any hope of reappearance.
13:11It's a woman's world and you're lucky to be living in it.
13:16Some of these failed returns deserve a second chance.
13:20What should they have done differently?
13:22Look what you made me do, look what you made me do.
