X Factor's first ever winner Steve Brookstein is planning to take on Simon Cowell for the Christmas number one this year.

Steve has recorded a cover of Peter Gabriel's hit Don't Give Up, the Sun reports, which he is selling for homeless charity Street Smart, and he hopes it will beat this year's X Factor winner to the top of the charts.

The 42-year-old housewives' favourite won the singing talent show in 2004 with six million votes, a record until Joe McElderry beat it last year.

His debut single Aganist All Odds went to number one in 2005 but he was dropped by Simon's label Sony BMG just eight months later.

In 2009 he announced plans to write a tell-all book to lift the lid on his experiences of The X Factor.

Steve relaunched his music career earlier this year, gigging in pubs around the country and is also supporting his wife Eileen Hunter, in her singing career.

Yes Steve can Sing Good,
Simon has blocked many of his deals.
They are Bitter


It is No Wonder he is on a Battle,
sadly Simon Wins with the Super Power of SonyBMG .

Let me see....

Steve Brookstein said he left SyCo because he didn't want to record cover versions ....

Hmmm...

[Judas]

Best of luck to him and the charity, but as Arista said he stands no chance again the Cowell machine.

[M X]

ha. LOL.
"Housewives favourite"..Can most housewives even remember him?

[Stacey.]

I actually well liked Steve, hope it does well for him and the charity.

Depending on who wins The X Factor, will depend on whether I want him to get christmas number1 or not.

[Tom4784]

I've got more chance of reaching no1 then him, since it's for charity though best of luck.

[Mystic Mock]

i didnt like steve brookstein on the bits i saw of the x factor 1,but good luck to him.

[ElProximo]

I think Brookstein, Solomon, Waissel and special guess Cohen should all get together and make a Christmas album benefiting Hanukkah.

I will predict (using my system) it gets a #1 song or #1 sales.
