Week's Worst: QConcert 2009
Obama’s vowed to close Gitmo by year’s end and stop torture for good, but what does he propose to do about the fact that Q102 assaults the citizens of Philadelphia on a daily basis with the world’s most irritatingly banal aural pap? The station’s atrocious playlist is duly represented in its upcoming QConcert 2009, wherein tragic hip-hop atrocity Black Eyed Peas (ditto Flo Rida), no-talent teen heartthrob Jesse McCartney and well-past-their-15-minutes All-American Rejects all put their wares on display for a fawning crowd of teenage know-no-betters who will all, no doubt, lie about ever attending this show a few years down the line after they discover alcohol or AC/DC, whichever comes first. Whoa! Longest. Sentence. Ever. Week’s. Worst. Show.
Fri., May 15, 4pm. $10-$95. With Ciara, the Ting Tings + more. Susquehanna Bank Center, 1 Harbor Blvd., Camden, NJ. 856.365.1300. www.q102.com

“Hey writer! Thanks for your opinion! I guess you would know better than the most popular radio station in Philly what's good and bad, best and worst. I'm sure the hundreds of thousand of listeners also really care what you think. Glad you straightened that out!”

“Jesse McCartney -Hearthrob. Hell yes.
Talented. Well lets say more talented than you will ever be.
Sorry get your ears checked mate.
I dont think you're in any position to critize Jesse McCartney, sorry your low enough to sit down and think of long sentences to write. How Sad.

“Haha.
This is the funniest thing I have ever read.
"they discover alcohol or AC/DC" since alchohol is everything? Thats great. This right there shows that you are a low life. People like Jesse McCartney and Black eyed Peas are succesfull and talented. Just because these people like Jessie McCartney doesn't mean that they don't like AC/DC. People are allowed to like more than one artist.
My guess is that your talent is bonging a bear. Nice! Must be a junkie! Anyways why do you care about what people like or what they are into? YOu must be a guy and jealous of McCartney. Seeing how he is as you stated yourself "hearthrob."

“Do you even KNOW Jesse, Black yed Peas, Flo Rida, whatever, to say that they are telented or not?
I guess if they have a succesful career means that they are more talented than you'll ever be.
You're not the owner of the world and thank God you CANNOT make anyone agree with those stupid ideias.”

“Brian McManus - I am a huge fan of AC/DC but I can also appreciate the talent at Top 40 radio. If it is your job to review music and concerts instead of voicing you VERY limited opinion you may want to re-think your approach…”
