Just what i posted on my facebook
"keep on buying the rage single! whoever wins the xfactor doesnt always 'deserve' to be christmas number one regardless of all the other top 40 entries in past few weeks/months(after all everyone forgets about it in a few weeks anyway!), if all these other songs were as well advertised on TV as the xfactor finalist.... im sure they wouldnt have trouble beating it to the No.1 spot!"
No.1 at the moment it is.
Its not really the fact that this song is SO MUCH BETTER than all the others is just proving a POINT that an xfactor song doesn't have to be No.1 year after,year,after year,after year... you get the idea!
And all the money that is spent on producing the Xfactor and getting millions of people to watch just to be entertained so that they can vote their favouritist singer is not really comparable to all the other entries that are in the Top 40! Why should the charts be controlled by a tv program when their are plenty of new entries before the official No.1 is announced.
I can understand why so many people would vote because they like this particular song but that really only stems from making a tv program and not pitting musical talent against one another.
I could morth into simon cowell tomorrow, brain wash you all and convince you that XYZ person is the next best thing since sliced bread and make you buy the christmas No.1 just because i said so, and because you enjoy the tv show, without giving regard to all the other acts that could be musically superior but just havent been giving the chance because they havent appeared on Xfactor.
Ooh look its the (for example) lady gagas new single which every club/bar/pub plays... young and old dance to it and everyone loves to listen to it butt.... it wasnt on xfactor so that means we cant buy it as we already spent our 99p buying the song that beat x number of amateur singers rather than the whole of the top 40 artists!!
grrr it just makes me so mad, i wonder in a perfect world, if you released this joe single without x factor being involved would he even come close to No1!?
