and stop X-Factor becoming number 1. Put 2 metaphorical fingers up at Cowell and co.


(originally appeared on my old blog, and has now been imported)

I normally don't take any notice of the charts but the Christmas number 1 used to be a time for a bit of fun but in recent years that has been ruined by Cowell and co. Take last year One of my favourite songs Hallelujah was ruined by some karaoke singer warbling over it.

This year it was rumoured to be Journey's don't stop believin' which is another song i like, thankfully that didn't come to pass, instead this year's karaoke entry is a cover of a song which was Awful the first time round.

This year there has been a major backlash from fans who like real music and not karaoke singers which the X-Factor perpetuates year after year. Jon and Tracy Morter have started a Rage against the machine for Xmas Number 1 group and personally i salute you for it and anyone who buys the Rage Single this week, Even more so if you donate to Shelter as well.

I would be grateful for any comments on here as it will keep this in the WordPress lists for the Keywords, also if anyone can Stumble this or add to Digg etc i would be grateful.




Dig Deep make Rage not number 1 this Christmas instead of Joe McCheddery or what ever he's called, But don't download it too many times or it will not count.

EDIT: I've been recently made aware of this article which explains things much better than i can, please give it a read
