Music·Posted on Jul 16, 201310 Perfectly Good Songs Ruined By Will.i.amBecause we've all experienced that moment when we say to ourselves, "this song would sound so much better without will.i.am."by Sean O'BrienCommunity ContributorLinkFacebookPinterestTwitterMail 1. Crazy Kids (Ke$ha) View this video on YouTube "She put boobies in my face and now I'm really seeing doubles"Classy. Will.i.am's verse was axed from the album version, but reintroduced for the single in an attempt to boost sales. Unfortunately sales were not aided by the artful addition, and will.i.am's CG cameo in the video was just plain creepy. Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF 2. Fall Down ( ft. Miley Cyrus) View this video on YouTube "I could be your chip. You my dip. Let me dip it up."Catchy beat, except for the fact that is sounds exactly like Ke$ha's "Die Young" (which sounds a lot like Avicii's "Levels"). Fortunately for those of us who enjoy Miley's voice, there is this version which is 90% Will free. The lyrics are still cheesy, but they somehow sound much better coming out of her mouth.

Make me wanna moon walk."What more could be expected from two of the most despised men in music. Chris Brown's part actually sounds pretty decent, but the minute Will starts "rapping" (1:27) it's on to the next one. Accusations that the beat is an unattributed rip - Arty & Mat Zo's "Rebound" - don't help much either. Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF 4. #thatpower (Ft. Justin Bieber) View this video on YouTube "They call me Will-AY. Stay so cool, I'm chill-AY."Love him or hate him, Justin Bieber's voice sounds great. What's not so great are the clearly Kanye West "Stronger" inspired lyrics and an awkward music video concept...those hats. At least a good beat makes this one fun to dance to.

Better Than Yesterday (Sidney Samson) View this video on YouTube "Bang bang killer in ya town"This one holds up pretty well until it suddenly breaks down into complete will.i.am weirdness around the 1:20 mark. Lyrics about partying and small town shootings do not mesh well. Color me unsettled. Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF 6. Boom Boom Pow (The Black Eyed Peas)... View this video on YouTube "Beats so big I'm steppin' on [a] leprechaun"...and pretty much every other Black Eyed Peas song ever made. The group didn't make it big until the addition of Fergie as a lead vocalist, and even the "solo" effort #willpower is mostly comprised of duets. Quite frankly, nobody listens to a will.i.am song for will.i.am. Sorry Will. Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF 7. Fergalicious (Fergie) View this video on YouTube "Girl you tasty"Fergie's break away from the Black Eyed Peas painted her as a strong, independent woman who was tired of being held back by the boys. Unfortunately for us, it wasn't long before she let will.i.am back into her life to trash an otherwise hot single with his cheap lyrics. Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF 8. I'm In The House (Steve Aoki) View this video on YouTube "I got these hunnies screamin' ow...ow, ow, ow, ow"Ouch is right. Masked as alter ego [[[Zuper Blahq]]], Will admits that his lyrics cause women physical pain. At least he's honest. Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF 9. This Is Love (ft. Eva Simons) View this video on YouTube "Love for the orchestra. Violin. Cello."So close to successful. Eva Simons kills it on the chorus and the beat is solid, but the lyrics about Will's love affair with stringed instruments leave much to be desired. Not to mention the awkward duet he has with his magically rain resistant laptop in the video. That was uncomfortable to watch. Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF 10. Wavin' Flag (K'NAAN) View this video on YouTube It's not so much the lyrics in this one, but more the uninspiring delivery. Will halfheartedly repeats lyrics that clearly mean so much more to K'NAAN in this remix, which was used as Coca-cola's 2010 World Cup anthem. Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF To be fair...
