Songs that make you go WTF

It's Friday and that means another episode of SONGS THAT MAKE YOU GO WTF!

Today's victims are country videos.

***WARNING: Country Guy Slaughtering R&B Love Song ***
I don't know what his name is but some country dude is murdering the song "Back at One" by Brian McKnight. For those of you unfamiliar with Brian McKnight, trust me on this, his version is a lot better. My ears are still bleeding from such blasphemy. Maybe if the video had a storyline to it, it would have been more tolerable. Ok it wouldn't have but at least the video wouldn't have sucked as much.

Montgomery Gentry (I think that's their name) - You know how in most country duos there is always one guy that wears a cowboy hat and usually plays a guitar and the other guy without the hat sings lead vocal. Well in this group, the big guy with the hat doesn't play a guitar nor does he appear to sing lead vocal; although he is handy with twirling a microphone stand. Hey cowboy hat guy, here's a tip, just stand there with a guitar and fake it. We won't know and it would look a lot cooler than playing with the mic stand (that you really aren't using). Come to think of it, why do you have a mic stand? It's not like your hands are occupied with a guitar or fiddle.

Alison Kraus and Union Station - Can you make a video that doesn't involve Alison and Co. walking/riding around with a vacant look on their face? Special Effects are not that expensive nowadays. Matter of fact, live a little, get one of the hip-hop directors (Dave Meyers, Little X, Kanye West, heck even Diddy) for your next video. PLEASE!

The final song gets a WTF, hey that's kinda cute award

Alcohol by Brad Paisley - This is the one line that saves this song, "Helping White People Dance". Lawd, I almost died when I heard that line. Hey anyone that makes fun of white people dancing is ok with me.
