I think you've missed the point. People aren't buying it as a f*ck you to capitolism or record companies. They're doing it as a f*ck you to Xfactor! Alot of people are looking to deep into this. The choice of song is (granted ironicly) a great choice to say f**k you to the way that the xfactor winner should get automatic success for essentially doing a bit of karaoke. It's no more earned/deserved than it would be someone getting a record deal for playing Rock Band!

Will make a change if (and it is still a very big "if") a half decent tune gets to number 1.

[Kowalski]

Will it though?

Is that because ampersand mentioned middle aged women?

[dakyras]

yeah it is that. but the choice of song is ridiculous. if it was guerilla radio (a far far better pick and song), i would be behind it. i'm not behind this though.

and i think joe has a bit more talent than a guy who plays expert on rock band. not really a fair comparison.

[ampersand]

It wouldn't have half the chance as Killing In The Name does though. Even people unfamiliar with RATM have heard Killing In The Name.

[dakyras]

i thought the choice of song wasn't the point though to people?

In a poorly timed interview with NME Magazine, the smug record executive claims The X Factor has stopped “horrible songs” getting to the top spot at Christmas.

Its almost Orwellian in how they have become what they are supposedly fighting?

[Gre]

the middle aged wuman don't know how to download. they will get it in tesco and hmv during the week.

[pinback]

Plus the Xfactor one isn't out on CD until Wednesday (whatever happened to Andi Peters pressing the button to start the manufacturing the moment they announce the winner? )

Christmas stocking filler material it will be.

[ampersand]

It is to you though apparently.

and it is to the person who picked it. and lots who follow. far more well known songs than that one, why go for rage? and that particular song?
