## Synopsis

**#10:** Sean's main issue is with the beat (which sampled a song called "The Voodoo Song"). He said that the beat is fine on its own, but his problem is that it sounds worse when literally anything is played over it.

**#9:** Sean opens up by talking about Zedd. He says that this song's verses are mediocre, but says the lyrics in the chorus are weird (e.g. "Don't need no butterflies when you give me the whole damn zoo". He acts out a scene where he calls the police because a girl literally has animals in her chest) and covers his ears before the drop hits.

**#8:** Sean opens this song discussing how great of a rapper Kendrick Lamar is, but his features aren't that good, pointing to "Goosebumps", "The Greatest" and this as examples.

As for the song itself, he calls it a "Shape of You" without any energy. He then attacks Maroon 5 for being sellouts (comparing them to a politician who started their career with pure intentions but then started chasing money and power), particularly making fun of the music video which contained Pokemon Go references.

**#7:** Sean calls this song "an appropriate send-off" to the genre of Vine songs. His main problem with this song is how amateur it sounds (particularly the lack of rhymes in the verses).

**#6:** Before reviewing this song, Sean says he has gone deaf from listening to it, temporarily retires from his channel, and then comes back, stating he "sold his soul to the devil" to get his hearing back.

Sean compares this song's lyrics to a Cher Lloyd song in terms of attitude, attacks the beat for sounding too much like a minimalist trap beat and says that he couldn't figure out a way to make the chorus sound more grating.

**#5:** Sean initially puts "Believer" at his #5 spot, beginning a rant on it, but ends with calling it, *"a steaming pile of... mediocrity"* and reveals that this was a bait-and-switch for "Thunder".

He juxtaposes the loudness of actual thunder to the muted sound of this song, points out the verses sound like "Royals" but the lead singer is asking questions and compares Imagine Dragons to a fusion of Maroon 5 & Nickelback, two bands he dislikes.

**#4:** Sean states that the worst songs of 2017 aren't fun to laugh at and are just boring, pointing to this as an example. He states that this song is very monotone, and most of the lines were boring. He also criticizes Nicki Minaj's verse for rhyming "China" with "China" over and over again.

**#3:** Since everyone had already talked about this song in context with all the drama surrounding Taylor Swift at the time and the music video, Sean decides to analyze it out of context. He says that the production is boring, the lyrics come across as whiny (Sean says that with the context, Swift had gotten herself into this situation) , criticizes "The old Taylor can't come to the phone... because she's dead" and this would be a weird single to push after "New Romantics".

**#2:** Sean attacks Kodak Black for being a bad person. In this song, Kodak blames his rape charges on the justice system being racist (the song says "Lil Kodak, they don't want to see you winnin', they wanna see you in the penitentiary" while the music video shows a man with a Confederate hat attacking a black man).

He also addresses a deleted line from the song: *"I get any girl I want, I don't gotta rape"*.

## Trivia

Based on the updated "100 Biggest Songs of 2017: Ranked from Worst to Best" ranking that Sean did, the new top 10 worst hit songs list would have taken "Rake It Up" out of the list and put "Scars to Your Beautiful" in for poorly executing its message.
