was it mad world?
i remember despising that song and i loved don't let the bells end

noo this leona song makes me sad, on X factor her singing and the best bits on the screen.. Olly!

Thank you.

Just sounds like a bitter NME columnist that a manufactured act is more successful than Arctic Monkeys. Out of 6 series, just THREE have been commercially successful. Thats out of 69 contestants X Factor has ever spewed out. And this years lot don't look like they are going to be successful either.

Its hardly ruining music, and people might end up embarrassed by stuff considered 'real' music by music snobs. But personally I don't get musical snobbery, I think its ridiculous.

It was Gary Jarman from The Cribs and what he said was so true.
Why should that be taken away from an actuall artist who makes proper non manufactured music to songs that people don't really like? Its stupid

haha if it's true, that's hilarious.

Tom the snob!

JLS.. time to mute

teabag whos that in your avatar?

Chris from Skins

Hes a hottie

You can flip that over, why should it be taken away from someone who millions voted for?

And manufactured doesn't always mean generic, just see Elvis for that. And 'actual artist' doesn't equal good.

The bottom line is, it depends how it sounds. If its good it will sell, if its crap it won't sell. And you mention The Cribs, now it all makes sense why they sound so bitter, because they're crap and hardly ever break the top 20.

Just because you write your own stuff doesn't give you the upper hand over anyone else.

Hope it's not true. :( Joe doesn't deserve the whole campaign against him, he's just a 18 year old boy.

it's not against him, it's about x factor always getting xmas number one.

Oh god people need to understand that its about X factor always getting number one not a direct attack on Joe

This Rage number 1 or not?

Oh, right, and what about comments like this one:


I'm sorry Nathan for putting you as an example.

oh god now we all have our tastes in music but saying the cribs are crap is a crime.
They are real music, majority of whats in the chart is just chav infested

oh god now we all have our tastes in music but saying the cribs are crap is a crime.
They are real music, majority of whats in the chart is just chav infested anyway

Half an hour to go?

Yep, you don't like it so just label chart stuff for chavs.

What is 'real' music? Why do you have to write it yourself for it to be 'real'?

It's so disgusting that people want to take a dream away from a taleted 18 year old, and give a christmas #1 to a bunch on never-been twats who shout into microphones.

:(

That is only something some forum member on another forum has said - hardly fact! You lot are completely barking!

I wish people didn't pick THIS song to beat Joe with.. at least pick a christmassy one or something.

(I know its about the lyrics but please... its a shite song to have as Xmas No.1)

Its nothing against Joe..
