They really don't. :blink:

 

Just a bunch of random people thrown together to slaughter an absolute classic track? I like the fact that the proceeds go to charity but the whole thing is proposterous and sounds hideous. Much like the Pop Idol finalists doing Happy Christmas a few years back. It's not even just because it's a Mariah song (being one of the few people that liked Leon's version of When You Believe...) it's because it's just awful. Hero is actually one of my least favourite Mariah songs, but I still recognise it as a classic and arguably her signature track. Still, this version is cringeworthy of the highest order. Plus I don't really think Hero works anymore, it's too dated nowadays and should be remembered for how it was and the time it came from - 1993 when Mariah sang it. -_-

 

All in all - disgusting.

 

Girls Aloud back at #1 or someone new PUH-LEEZE.

 

That will be all.

 

Exactly, finally sense is spoken. What is so great about 12 people from X-Factor recording an ultra cheap cover of Mariah Carey's 'Hero'? A very minimal amount actually goes to charity from each sale, it's primarily another excuse to line Simon Cowell's pockets. It just goes to show what hype can do I suppose...

 

47-44 is 3 places. Can you count? :lol: :P

 

LOL I knew that really! Just testin ya *looks around*

You Know My Name >>>>> Another Way To Die ^_^

 

 

The World Is Not Enough>>>>You Know My Name >>>>> Another Way To Die>>>Die Another Day :rolleyes:

The World Is Not Enough>>>>You Know My Name >>>>> Another Way To Die>>>Die Another Day :rolleyes:

 

I can only agree with the first one really. :P

 

They should get Garbage to do it again.

 

What kind of people are watching X Factor and buying like sheep ? I think we should all donate to charity, not fill the charts with tripe renditions - sorry that song was murdered :puke2: - not even the studio can make it good.

You Know My Name >>>>> Another Way To Die ^_^

You Know My Name = Another Way To Die :D (and they're both great!)

Has Itunes froze? Mine says exactly the same as JJ's update, on the feed and on the site.

 

Anyway X Factor is selling roughly twice as much as GA, and 4 times as much as Pink :(

All profits go to charity so I'm not sure Cowell is making a penny off it bar the publicity afforded the show, a standard trade-off in these charity efforts.
