If a $h!t winner had won this year like Leon or Steve or someone then I would support this but Joe is a bloody good singer who well deserves a place in the industry, I don't like Cowell but he has produced 2 incredible singers in Leona and Alexandra and is on the way to producing a 3rd in Joe who was almost note perfect in every song in the series

 

Joe is a damn good singer which is why he deserves this chance

 

I don't support this campaign because Joe is a great talent even if it will line Cowell's pockets more

 

i totally agree if this was against leon jackson or steve... whats his name, i would have gone and bought 100s copies of any song that was in the campaign!

It's pathetic tbh

 

I can't stand Cowell and everything he stands for but Joe has done nothing wrong and worked his bollocks off for the X Factor win, he is a decent singer and deserves the #1 spot

 

Punishing Joe to get at Cowell is childish

 

Like Matt I downloaded Joe even if I don't like the song

Got to be a candidate of the stupidest post ever.

There's a bloke down my local Labour Club who is a decent singer. He works his bollocks off four nights a week and has done for the last 15 years or so ... will you buy his single please?

 

Like hell Joe deserves the number 1. Besides ... it isn't Joe ... it's Simon!

This campaign never happened when Leona won, this campaign never happened when Alexandra won, so Joe is being singled out and I can't work out why, how many who bought RATM own a Leona or Alex song ? $h!tloads I bet

 

If there was a campaign against Cowell personally I would support it but using a talented young singer as a political football to get at Cowell is unfair

The only thing i like about rage machines is the name the song is so stupid i loved the radio 5 broadcast when they started to swear and they got cut of and the presenter said to buy joes single!

this campaign never happened when Alexandra won

What, so Jeff Buckley's version just happened to be popular at Christmas time last year?

B.A Baracus, if you remember, it happened to Alexandra when they campaigned for Jeff Buckley to beat her to number 1 :)

That is different, it was the same song, regurgitating an ancient screamo record from years ago is totally different to buying copies of a superior version of Alex's song

tbh that's radio five's own fault for actually expecting Rage to do as their told :rofl:

but i actually preferred alexandras version the best x factor winning song ever :D

Well, I think every year this is going to happen now, it's happened for two years running............

but i actually preferred alexandras version the best x factor winning song ever :D

Ditto - Alex FTW

but i actually preferred alexandras version the best x factor winning song ever :D

 

:mellow:

 

Are you serious? Better than Jeff Buckley? I'm sorry but what a crock of $h!t, Jeff's Hallelujah remains one of the most emotional, melancholy songs EVER. It is beautiful to listen to. Alex completley STRIPPED her version of ANY emotion the song craves and it wasnt that great at all.

LOL I thought it was awful tbh compared with Jeff, KD Lang etc but she was amazing in X Factor and Bad Boys is one of my fave songs of 2009

she made it modern jeffs version was so depressing and alexandras voice was way better in the song

 

Bought my copies 3 minutes before midnight. lol

So tell him to audition for Xf then. Bet he's crap and doesn't get any further than his first audition. :yahoo:

But the song craves to be depressing... Jeff's track is beautiful, I'm listening to it right now and it's just so relaxing, emotional and beautiful. I adore it.

 

Dont get me wrong I love Alex but to say her version was better than one of the greatest song's ever is ludacrous and I think alot of people will agree with me.

How is Joe being punished? He's going to sell somewhere around 350-400K copies of an awful single. In what way is that punishment? I can see it now

 

"Joseph McElderry, you have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence. You are an habitual criminal, who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts not being number one in the same casual manner. We therefore feel constrained to commit you to the maximum term allowed for these offences — you will not have a Christmas number one."

Jeff Buckley was amazing and his dad

 

The reason I don't support this campaign is because I judge an artist by their merits even if they are in Cowell's pocket, If this had happened when Leon won I would support it without hesitation and buy a few copies of RATM but Joe has a lot of talent (sung every song in the series almost flawlessly) so I feel he deserves his break and if Cowell makes money at the same time so be it
