Jam of the Week

I used to get excited each week to find out what would be the new  "Jam of the Week" on MTVJams.  I used to think that the chosen video was the best video the MTVJams "committee" could feature.  Lately I've been thinking all one has to do to get their video as Jam of the Week is pay for it.  The Jam of the Week is one, sometimes two, video that is featured and played in extreme excess for the whole week.  When the video is good, I look forward to seeing it twice in an hour on Jams and probably two more times on U and Hits, during that same hour.  However, when the video/song is bad, it can be almost unbearable to watch these video channels.

For the past few weeks the Jam of the Week has been terrible! I can't quite remember when the bad videos began but I believe it was with Mavado's song "Im so special", about a month ago.  I do not know who authorized the making of this song/video and who decided it would be a good Jam of the Week but these people should have their music making privileges revoked!  It is one of the worst songs I've heard and no, Mavado, you are not so special.  That was a dark week for MTV, and since then the Jam of the Week has been in a rut.  The bad videos include Bow Wow and J.D "Roc the Mic", T.I. featuring Justin Timberlake "Dead and Gone", and this week's Solange "T.O.N.Y". 

It is really a shame that the Jam of the Week has been in the gutter lately because there are some really good new videos that should be featured and played more!  Some examples are Asher Roth "I Love College", The Dream " Rockin That Thang", and J Holiday "It's Yours".  Let's see more good videos as Jam of the Week!!!
