You Raise Me Up, as performed by Josh Groban, was #17 on the list of Awesomely Bad Songs for 2004. As somebody who seems to have a taste for what VH1 considers 'awesomely bad', I can't say it bothered me.

But the Grobanites are, once again unable to comprehend that not everybody agrees with them.

JasmineFoxedMe: Josh is number 17 on VH1's Awesomely Bad Songs. They keep saying he's 21. They've said it like 4 times now. They also say he wrote the song, etc. Basically they're making fun of it being for "soccer moms". Well, as a 24 year old, I'm pretty comfortable in saying I'm not a soccer mom.

banklady1966: They were wrong with his age and that he wrote the song. They are very misinformed peeps. They just don't understand our Joshie.

dramaqueen: >:( :(

lavio: They also said Josh is the next Michael Bolton and do we really need another one!!! My blood is boiling right now!!!

vince: [VH1] Is a bunch of tards! Come on, they have comedians talking about the songs! I hate VH1!

dramaqueen: Amen!!!
But sadly people listen to thoughs people!!

(I think she means 'thought police')

PamT: I HATED that clip! They don't know ANYTHING about Josh or his music!

They talked about how YRMU was too serious for a "21 year old" (wrong age anyway) and showed bikini dancers on a beach as an example of what people his age are supposed to be into. BLECH! What shallow people! Do they think that no one under 30 has a brain in their heads? Well, that's simply not true, and they are totally WRONG in their entire assessment!

And they did say other wrong stuff about him writing the song. They mentioned that he sells a lot of records and acted like they didn't know who could possibly be buying them! DUH ... how about PEOPLE WITH TASTE!!!!!!!!!

JasmineFoxedMe: Sorry, I still think it's a joke show. I doubt anyone watching it is actually taking anything they say seriously, or thinking "Gee, this random unknown comedian thinks Josh Groban should be singing songs about spring break, guess I won't buy his CD now". In no way will this actually affect his career, it's just a silly show that I doubt many people will ever see anyway.

PamT: I hope you are right. I was livid.

trumpetgurl: no offense, but I've seen other "VH1's awesomely bad" stuff (music videos, rock songs, etc) and most of the time they don't know what they're talking about. They make fun of great songs and it's kind of disturbing to hear that they made fun of Josh's song... >:( :(

NewYorkNilsa: I agree with you 100%..creeps! >:( >:( >:(

lovinjosh: What?!?!?! I don't want to upset any Michael Bolton fans, but Josh is OH SO much better than him!!!! There is absolutley no comparison...are these people smoking something???

There are odd voices of reason in that thread, but they are largely ignored. Oh, and those giant rainbow signature blocks FoJG is famous for? They've all changed them to red and green in honour of the christmas season!
