hellohi.

I'm joking Stevey :unsure: It seems a bit strange they are marketing this as their 'first' US single are they just forgetting the flop that was Everybody In Love?

Well they aren't good enough for her which is why they went for Shontelle.

I am getting your point but you clearly aren't getting mine. The reason that American Idol has been so boring the past two years is that they have been limited to the songs that they can now sing as they release the downloads and Simon doesn't decide anything on that show as he has never actually had a final decision on things like that since it was not his show. I seriously doubt UK viewers are going to be kept interested by by a bunch of dreary Motown songs. Anyway there is no point in discussing this any further as I know the performances are not being released

Do you just moan in every thread?

I have no problem you just can't seem to understand the concept that X Factor cannot just release performances week in week out and get the clearance for it. Why would you put the word clearance in inverted commas leads me to believe that you have no idea how these things work and how the rights of performing a song on a show and actually releasing it are two different things. Kings of Leon recently turned down Glee as this meant their tracks would be available for download. Whereas, these tracks can be performed on X Factor as they are not going to be released.

Yeh I have had it personally confirmed and they are not planning to release them either the reports are bogus.

There is no argument the poster above me clearly just has an attitude problem.

I can't see Makosi getting the most votes.

I'm not getting defensive I am stating that the songs are not going to chart. Why do you feel the need to be so rude. There were not a few reports there was one newspaper article with no facts to back it up.

American Idol is different they do not chart and they have the same songs every year. Look I'm going to come back to this post the first week of the live shows and reinforce how wrong you are. You clearly have no idea how things work.

Do you realize how long it can take to get clearance for individual tracks? The performances will not be released end of!

No it was an articled in a newspaper and for some reason everyone here believed it. There is no way they can release every performance, they would never get clearance. Journey prevented Joe from releasing Don't Stop Believing and I don't think they are going to go through the headache of having to get clearance to release songs every week.

I can say one thing the debate you guys are having is way more interesting than what most of the imbeciles in that chart thread come up with.

The X Factor songs will not be eligible to chart is no one getting this?

They songs are not going to be charting even if they are released.
