Has anyone else seen what I can only call the bizarre attempt to stop X factor song getting to No1 for xmas?
X factor: Joe McElderry
OTHER: Rage Against The Machine,
what some of the people have overlooked, there are all own by guess who? Song BMG, so even More money is being made by them.
why not try and get a xmas song to no1? like Fairytale of New York
Race for Xmas no1
Basically the mass of idiots are doing the same with this other song, what meaning does that have to do with xmas?nodnirG kraM wrote:Think you may have missed the point here: the idea is to prevent Cowell from getting yet another Christmas No 1, and making the whole process of having such a chart meaningless.barcode wrote:what some of the people have overlooked, there are all own by guess who?

Basically the mass of idiots will buy whatever crap Cowell releases and ensure it is Christmas Number 1. It is unavoidable. Christmas Number 1 no longer has any meaning.
let be honset the last time it had any meaning was apart 20 years ago. since then is been filed with mr bobby, bob, Whitney, a very depressing cover song in 2003.

Unless you're all 13 year old girls, what difference does a Christmas number 1 make?
The thing is though, I'm no more likely to be pushed into buying something to stop Cowell succeeding than I am to buy a Cowell record.
"Let's everyone spend a few quid to deny someone making a few quid".
Aye, right.
Cowell's music past is somewhat lacklustre (does anyone actually remember Sinita songs - good lord), and his artists only make money now because millions of girls get damp knickers at the thought that they're buying a piece of their hearthrob.
Sorry to be so base about it, but its true.

I hope Bob the builder and Mad World - Gary Jules were not for those reason.Gavin Scott wrote: Cowell's music past is somewhat lacklustre (does anyone actually remember Sinita songs - good lord), and his artists only make money now because millions of girls get damp knickers at the thought that they're buying a piece of their hearthrob.

I hate Cowell and his vacuous shows.
Every year at the start of his shitty X Factor show he bangs on about how, "oooh, this person has to have "it", an indefinable quality that sets you above the rest, that makes you different". And that's been the criteria for the last six or so years. How many 'indefinable qualities' are there, Cowell?
So rich that he would say that when all the X Factor winners are bland as hell and samey and only get put through if they can do stupid pitch bends whilst altering the height of their hand.
Prick.
As Mark Steel said, Jacko, The Streets, Gnarls Barkley, Sinatra, Elvis. None of those people, those with unique and bizarre musical styles would be put through because they don't go "ooooooh" or "where hair hair hair haira haaaaaaaaaair is my-eye-eye-eye-eye-eeeeeeyeeeeeah" or whatever.
Stupid idiot. Made entirely out of rectangles, it seems.
And it's all over the papers. Pointlessly. The fact that Simon Cowell has been gorging on Angel Delight because he's upset about his acts was on the front cover on the Sunday Mirror. For Christ's sake. And another front cover told us the fluid evacuatingly fascinating story about how he has shaved his hands. I didn't read on but no doubt there was an extended piece, with two articles written by different columnists, probably Fiona Phillips and that idiot Polly Hudson, arguing for and against the notion of the hand shaving being the result of depression or whatever. Tossers. I hate it.

Ronnie is victorious, vivacious in victory like a venomous dog. Vile Republicans cease living while the religious retort with rueful rhetoric. These rank thugs resort to violence and swear revenge.
But Ronnie can punch through steel so they lose anyway.

There is very little chance of that happening even without Simon CowellAlexia wrote:The Christmas number one should be a Christmassy, feel good, family-friendly song. There are 51 other weeks in the year for Cowell & co to release their dross.
If there was no X Factor, the Christmas number 1 would end up being N-Dubz or whatever the latest teenage popular band is, that would also be disliked by many comentators.
A fair race for the most popular song is one thing, that I'm all in favour of (see Bob the Builder / Mr Blobby for example). But the X-Factor has got it sewn up, simply because idiots watch ITV on a Saturday.Andrew wrote:There is very little chance of that happening even without Simon CowellAlexia wrote:The Christmas number one should be a Christmassy, feel good, family-friendly song.

You could argue that Mr Blobby got the Christmas number 1 because of the idiots watching the BBC on a Saturday at the time, though!
I have to compliment Mr Cowell on his cleverness for the way he's treating this "threat" to his x-factor number one... If he'd just sat back and ignored it, there's a good chance he would still have got the no 1, making lots of money for Sony, but by insulting everyone who doesn't like the X Factor, he's making more sales for RATM, making even more money for Sony. He might not get the No1 this way, but he's putting lots more money in the pockets of his bosses, which can only be a good thing for him.
