My Best and Worst YouTube Music Video List

Antoinette McGowan
There are a lot of official music videos and unofficial music videos on YouTube. Some unofficial user created videos are really great and others just really do not have anything to do with the song it is attached to. This is my list of the best and worst YouTube music videos.

The Best Two Videos

Letters from Home-John Michael Montgomery:

This video was created and uploaded to YouTube by samsmithiraq. The user stated that he created the video for his wife while he was in Iraq. Anytime I want to listen to Letters from Home by John Michael Montgomery I go to this video instead of the official video. I mean who better to be able to depict a song about a soldier waiting for letters from home than a soldier who is in Iraq? This video is definitely one of the best music videos on YouTube.

Gun Power and Lead-Miranda Lambert:

This video was created and uploaded to YouTube by corrienesmith. The user stated that this video was created as a college class project. This is the video that I watch anytime I want to listen to Gun Powder and Lead by Miranda Lambert. I think that the creator of this video did a great job trying to capture the meaning of the song. So for me this is definitely one of the best YouTube music videos on the site.

The Worst Two Videos

Next Contestant-Nickelback

I truly love this song and I love the band that put it together. However this video uploaded to YouTube by Aarkleon is truly one of the worst videos on YouTube. The video itself is good it is a scene from Advent Children. My problem with the video is that it does not depict the meaning of the song at all. In my opinion there is no rhyme or reason to put this video with this song.

What Hurts the Most-Rascal Flatts:

This video was created and uploaded to YouTube by McIllusion. The song is great but this user created video just did not seem to do it for me. I do realize that the user states that this was his/her first video but still this video just did not hold my attention. I have seen other low budget user created videos done for this song and the attempt made to connect with the song was so much better on those than on this one. So this video hits my worst YouTube music video list.

    Great article touching upon the You Tube generation, I must say that I began viewing videos from this site just recently. You could say that I am officially addicted to You Tube, just like your article - You Tube provides an endless stream of wonderful media.

    this was a good topic idea, its always good to get recommendations for youtube before having to watch a bunch of crappy ones until you find something decent.
