    I'm still shocked that Paula Abdul was ever considered a hot dancer/choreographer.

    b/w


    This also gets the prize for the song sucks worse than the video contest.

    Jesus that's horrible but damn I miss that look. Baggy jeans hanging low, visible boxers and/or thong, sports bra, Pendleton (optional) with only the top button buttoned, dark mulberry lipstick/lip liner, ball cap and/or bandana...

    I messed with many girls like that back in the day.

    Still a classic. Directed by Joss Stone's brother from her own treatment/script, in defiance of EMI who refused to circulate it. This dates back from the period where she decided she was going to take total control of her career. I doubt any of you will ever have seen a video from a major artist as diabolically bad as this.

    that dude popped up in my mind as soon as I read the title of the thread. Keep in mind that contest created two monsters: Jesse Camp won it in an amazing act of trolling not only by him but the audience who voted for him, but the runner-up was a dude named Carson Daly.

    It truly pains me to know that somewhere in the depth of my brain is the sad fact, that after I read your post, I can regrettfully inform you that the runner-up was not Carson Daly, but instead...Dave Holmes

    didn't Carson Daly come out of that too? I remember he popped up around the same time, and in the subsequent years I was amazed at how he had made a career out of being as bland and boring as is humanly possible.

    Even if this was revealed to be factually incorrect, I still enjoyed your employment of that little device, a la "and falling to the third pick in the NBA draft was a young man who didn't even make his high school basketball team, Michael Jordan."

    Also, it's amazing how far MTV has fallen that people are actually nostalgic for Jesse Camp's days on TRL.

    People acted like this was such an "amazing" artistic statement at the time. It's tepid bullshit.

    I don't remember the song, but Billy Squier did one featuring his spastic dancing style that was so bad it derailed his career. This happened with Eddie Money, too.
