I can't help but think Rick Beato's insides are twisting into pretzels as he struggles to find anything positive to say about the ten songs he is showcasing.
The title of the video is "The Spotify Top Ten Got Even Worse" and Beato, with his forced smiles and backhanded compliments, is clearly not enjoying what he is listening to. He says things like, "Well written!" Or,"nice change." But every one of these songs, to my ears, sounds exactly the same. He must hear that, as well. There isn't a memorable chorus to be found, or a pure, unaffected voice to be heard. It's all autotuned and soaked in reverb, with melodies that mostly go nowhere.
Rick Beato seems like he doesn't want to come off as the old guy screaming "Get off my lawn," but I have no problem coming across that way because in my heart, I know I'm not.
These ten songs are godawful.

I couldn't get past the first one. Obviously, you deserve combat pay. 😎
My thoughts exactly Steve, this guy has a lot of patience to be able to listen to 10 of these things I only made it through one and a half
I watched it all because I was interested in what Beato had to say.
“Bass player hasn’t gotten the message they changed chords” haha. I watched it all too. There wasn’t anything I wanted to go hear more of, but #3 and #1 had actual melodies. I know we’re old and all that, but if you don’t listen how can you criticize? Cleveland Jeff
I had heard of "Choosin' Texas" as it's been #1 on the charts a lot this year, but never actually heard the song until this video and I agree why it's heads above the rest of the list. I made it through all 15 minutes and it was...interesting, depressing and funny all at the same time.
