rage against the x-factor - Outcome: RATM is the Christmas Number One!

If anonymous take up the reins they'll just DDoS everything so that no more music can be bought and Rage remain ahead.

Hardly fair play, is it ;)

At least we can all take comfort in the fact this years winner will likely end up in the toilet like the past 5 or 6 winners.

I had a look on WiKi, literally i'd never heard of most of the winners, which is a good thing.

Cleaning toilets, one hopes...

Where as people are, en masse, buying a song that was recorded nearly 20 years ago from a band that has never received any major radio airplay or mass media coverage. Go figure.

Personally I don't take comfort in that and I find it odd that anyone would.

I don't personally like his music, or the show but that doesn't mean that he isn't talented and doesn't appeal to lots of other people.

Because they want too? Freedom of choice etc, etc.

Why wouldn't I? Do I owe him something? Does he deserve fame simply because he supposedly has talent? If he does indeed have talent, then that should show in the future.

I guess that's my point really, chances are he won't make it, because he in fact doesn't have anymore talent than the local Karaoke queen. (No pun intended)

Why would you wish that on anyone? You don't owe him anything, no one is asking you to buy his single or go to his performances. Just because you don't agree with how he has risen to where he is doesn't mean that he doesn't deserve it or indeed should be knocked back down again.
 
tbh if the facebook guy would have picked slades christmas hit or something along those lines it would have had a massive lead and x-factor would have lost for sure

Why wouldn't I wish that on anyone? Again, I don't owe him anything, why would I want him to succeed? Bottom line is, time will tell. Considering how the other winners careers have gone, there's a fairly good chance we won't be seeing too much of him in the years to come. Which suggests one thing, NO TALENT, as such, he, like the other winners don't deserve to be in the position he's/they were in!

If he genuinely comes out and makes some of his own music, whether I like it or not i'd hold my hand up and say fair play. Do I think that'll happen? Not a chance.

Whether I buy his music, or go to see his performances is of little relevance. The fact remains I have this dross shoved down my throat at every opportunity, whether that be online, on the TV, on the radio, in the papers ... etc etc. It's pretty much impossible to get away from it without secluding yourself in a dark room. Because of that, sure i'd love to see his career go down the pan.

That probably makes me a miserable sod, or a really bad human being... so be it! Let's be honest though, as if this guy cares what I think anyway! His career is hardly going to me made or broken off the back of what I think.

There's no denying he has talent. Whether he has enough talent to succeed or can align his career to what the mass market demands is a different story.

Quite why you'd wish failure on anyone is a bit beyond me. You're right it does make you sound miserable, as well as bitter and jealous.
 
Was waiting for the jealousy card :)

Not at all, i'm perfectly happy in what I have, and do in life. So it certainly isn't jealously. Miserable? Yeah, probably.

Probably bitter as well, bitter that I have to live with this crap for 4 months in a year. The thing is, if his career takes a nose dive it serves the purpose to prove that the X Factor is nothing but a hype machine, not a 'talent contest' - hence why i'd love to see it happen (again!)

I think most have realised that it isn't a Talent Content. It is absolutely a media/hype/money making machine. A very effective one at that.
 
I don't want the guy to fail however claiming hed be gutted if he didn't get the number 1 and how he'd never even heard of rage would make some people lean in that direction.

The point of this campaign is to show that there are people out there who still want and appreciate real music and real musicians, the monopoly cowell is running is not representative of the masses.

Who really made this campaign personal was the x factor guy.
 
X factor is nothing new talent shows have been on TV for decades


The best-remembered talent show in the UK is Opportunity Knocks, created and presented by Hughie Green.

Opportunity Knocks started as a radio show on the BBC Light Programme, before moving to Radio Luxemburg and then to ITV, where it ran (after one series in 1956) from 1961-1978.

The winner of each heat was decided by a postal vote. With the result announced at the start of the next show.

Although, it didn't count, the audience's reaction to each act was shown on a clapometer - a moving pointer supposedly determined by the noise they generated. In reality, this involved a studio hand guessing and moving the pointer accordingly.

Famous acts that appeared on the show included Bonnie Langford, Les Dawson, Little and Large, Max Boyce, Freddie Starr and Lena Zavaroni.

Hi-de-Hi! actress Su Pollard was beaten on the show by a dog.

Hughie Green's catchphrase was 'and I mean that most sincerely folks'.

The BBC revived the show in 1987 as Bob Monkhouse Says Opportunity Knocks with Kiki Dee's 'Star' used as the theme tune.

Bob's catchphrase was 'When opportunity comes your way... don't knock it'.

Les Dawson replaced Bob for one further series in 1990.

New Faces is also fondly remembered. This show ran on ITV in the 70s and was originally presented by Derek Hobson.

The show was a tougher version of its rival, with a panel of judges deciding the contestants' fate, marking them out of ten in various categories.

Sixties singer Mickie Most, and Neighbours and Crossroads theme tune composer Tony Hatch sat on the panel.

Famous contestants included Lenny Henry, Victoria Wood, Michael Barrymore, Joe Pasquale, Les Dennis, Gary Wilmot, Jim Davidson and the Chuckle Brothers.

Former winner Marti Caine presented a revival of the show in the 80s. The show became famous for Caine shouting 'Press your buttons now!' and for the harsh put-downs of TV critic Nina Myskow.

Pre-Take That, Gary Barlow wrote and performed an entry in the 1986 BBC Carol Competition, an annual talent contest for choir boy and girls.

Another talent show for the kids was Saturday Superstore's Search for a Superstar. Who can forget Claire and Friends, who sang It's Orrible Being in Love(When yer Eight and a Half)? The song won the competition and went to number 13 in the charts, unlucky for us.

In recent years the talent show has been revamped with celebrities trained to perform and face a panel of judges and a public vote. The most successful of these has been Strictly Come Dancing.

Shows such as Strictly Dance Fever and How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? have recently featured the return of total unknowns to the spotlight, all vywing for fame.


There you have it,

Gary Barlow strted off entering a Talent competition. Just like Joe :D

Why do people keep saying crap like that ^ It doesnt even mean anything. Joe's song Climb is just as "real" as rage's Killing in the name of. Also joe is just as "real" a singer as the bloke from rage is.

Joe is a very talented singer. This cannot be argured.

He has a better voice than Robbie or any other memebers of the manuafctured dross take that simply are.

Just that no one was interested in Gary on his own.

Joe, may with a good co-writer come up with some stuff who knows.

After all Robbie releases dross without Guy Chambers behind him :D
