Todd In The Shadows Thread

I don’t know about that… Vanilla Ice was pretty much always treated as a joke, even when he was successful, so it’s not like there’s one specific album that tanked his career. Unless he tried a sudden and weird image change like MC Hammer?

He did try to make a Nu-Metal album, complete with a Nu-Metal rendition of Ice Ice Baby retitled "Too Cold".

…Okay, Vanilla Bizkit does sound like TW material.

Yeah, I didn't think you could make Vanilla Ice worse, but apparently life finds a way.

Ah, it seems he also turned rasta for a brief period? >.>

Todd's put his Worst of 2020 on Patreon already!

Still halfway through, for now I'll just say: Todd, you utter maniac putting Blackpink in your list :P

And now on Youtube!

Didn't expect it to be one video.

EDIT: It's down for now.

ReUploaded!

You think Todd will manage to upload a video smoothly one day? This seems to happen a lot.

edit: Okay, what the fuck, Bieber? >.>

Yeah I can honestly say that this was probably the worst batch of worst songs he has ever had. Usually I can find a guilty pleasure or something that I kind of disagree with in Todd's Top 10, but every song here is just...awful.

As far as Justin Bieber, it's insane that his bad songs from his past work manage to be far more interesting musically than the boring garbage that he released this year. Seriously, give me Beauty and a Beat, Love Yourself, and Baby over anything in this list any day.

Love Yourself is straight-up my favorite 'fuck you' song, I'm not gonna lie.

I had forgotten about that song with Drake dubbing over Bieber. That was quite yikes.

The Best of 2020 list is on Youtube.

I'm not really a country person, but his first pick made me sad in an indescribable way, and I think that's a good thing.

…That David Guetta moment at 17:00 was… embarrassing…

Yeah, that was disturbingly tone-deaf.

As far as the list, I actually think it’s fitting that Todd decided to get personal for a viscerally sad and reflective year like 2020. I don’t think he’s ever been more emotional than he was in this top 10.

Rain On Me is still the best hit of 2020 for me. Or at the very least the one that was able to bring me the most joy. I’m glad it made the list.

There were a lot of great songs in 2020 all things considered.

I feel like in 2020 I fell off from following the pop charts, as the amount of tracks featured on the list I have never heard before took a sharp spike from previous years.

On your favorite song of 2020, there's a joke about how Todd is only happy when it rains.

Well, unless you count 2010, but those sequences existed almost entirely for in-character Running Gag beats involving Lupa and Katy Perry.

New OHW video up on YouTube!

The artist is Tag Team, the song is Whoop! (There it is).

"These videos are kind of rare so thank you very much to whatever weirdo had this on their computer and uploaded that to YouTube."

The funniest thing to me is that Todd's upload is one of the only versions of that video available on youtube.

Huh… I wondered where I had heard that "Boom! Shakalaka" before, and I remember now…

New review up "driver's license" by Olivia Rodrigo

When he says the song tries to reproduce Lorde’s success, I feel like it applies even to the voice. I swear, it seems to me like every female pop singer uses that voice timber these days.
