Change of stance or is he just scared and doing some good PR.

I see.


God there are some stupid people


because 12 weeks of x-factor and the best PR you can buy is not a campaign..

Or in other words, democracy. Retards.

I think he has a good point to be honest. I haven't cared about the Christmas number one for years.

Was about to say fair play to him but I didn't know he'd said:

Over past week, Cowell branded the 'Killing In The Name' campaign “cynical” and “stupid” and even accused it of “bullying” X Factor winner Joe McElderry.

So probably PR move.

Oh I totally agree and that is what the campaign was about. But it's a pretty different view to what he was saying a few days ago.

yes the guy has changed his tune slightly

 

[Nate--IRL--]

The media would tear him to pieces, if he was seen to be bitter about it. A wise, but necessary move on his part.

Well, it isn't an entirely mutually exclusive view:

"Well I think you guys were a bunch of mean gits, but we should be glad that the race has been so exciting".

It worries me that Cowell called the founders... as if he knows he's won it... or bought a truck load of CD's

Saw this posted in the Facebook group...

You're so getting held to this if it happens.

I'm getting my big letters ready.
Will size 7 be enough?

You can listen to the chart here:

Are people really going to listen from 40 all the way down? I don't think I could punish myself like that, i'll be tuning in around 6:45

 

[DampCat]

Wow, i hadn't realised RATM had sold 100,000 copies yesterday alone... I guess it isn't a complete los after al. I still suspect Joe McElderry will win, but it would be a lovely surprise if he didnt!
