I think thats a little harsh pal

It seems simple to me, which ever song sells more wins ... I can see why rage against the machine never makes it to number 1 (because its crap )

Just seems a bit sad spending your own money on a crap song just so someone on the xfactor doesnt get a christmas number 1

But each to there own i suppose

i dont think its a crap song, so i bought it.

Ofcourse you prob wont see them for dust ....

But AT the moment look who is selling most songs, people are choosing to buy them therefor they deserve to be at the top

i dont think its a crap song, so i bought it.

Good for you, hope you enjoy it

ratm have been selling songs long after they disbanded, xfactor retards wont be selling anything in about 8 weeks

physichull · 13 Dec 2009 at 21:26

I've bought it. Fingers crossed for number one.

So true. Steve Brookstein (winner of x factor series 1) got dropped from Sony only a few months after he got his Xmas number 1! He's joined the FB group and publically said he'd buy a copy of this

Always liked the song, danced to it more than a few times in clubs so bought it,

If it beats x-factor to number 1 then great, if not, I won't be bothered, I still own a great song

Purchased, i'm in for the lolz. First song I've bought in about 15 years. Good choice too.

p4radox · 13 Dec 2009 at 22:07

First time I've ever bought a single.

Hope RATM do this. Would be totally aweeeeeesomeeeee

Madkjb · 13 Dec 2009 at 22:11

hope this makes it to number 1, maybe rage will give us a couple of gigs in the uk after this?

Syph · 13 Dec 2009 at 22:14

I like Rage, but the naughty side of me really wants this bid to fail. I'm all up for a Xmas proper number 1; seems like a good while since the last.

Glaucus · 13 Dec 2009 at 22:16

Main group is back.

Yeah, fancy teaching me how to suck eggs, he'll be telling me next about Led Zeppelin.

Sigh...You originally said in a post "What is the song even about??", I'm not sure if you were being sarcy or not, but I answered with what I thought was right. Then Xappy came in and answered it later and confirmed that you asked what it meant and also gave the meaning.

I know you are a knowledgeable bloke about music and looking back, probably were being sarcy with the "Whats the meaning about anyway", but I thought I'd contribute and answer you. Sorry if this young whipper snapper caused offence.

Anyway, no more OT for me. Go RATM for number one!!

Joe was the only half-decent singer out of all the contestants, so fair play to him. If he can write music then he has potential.
The whole thing is just a glorified pub karaoke though. I'd like to see an X-Factor where they actually find some people with genuine musical talent rather than a bunch of twonks who can sing along to a Journey song.

Bought from play btw.

The inbred loser, scumbags that watch the x factor should die in a pool of their own vomit.

I've never heard of RATM but c'mon, anything to drown those retards.

edit: yes, I have had a few
