I'm sorry Jack, but you know jack about the music industry (ROFL WORDPLAY). If all it took was a good voice, thousands of more people would be a rampaging success right now, A good voice matters very little and Matt's shown little else in the competition.

Your ignorance about everything is hardly something to base what artists you like on.

Talented unlike ''billy''

You know theyre the ones who wrote the song right?

:joker: :joker: :joker:

biffy is gone back to 6 again in the UK, mean while in Ireland matt has been knocked off no.1 by this song, eek

**** YEH RUBBERBANDITS ARE KINGS
/caps

:joker: the song is pretty funny but I still want Matt to be number 1!

i swapped him for a bag of yokes in 1992

**** your matt cradle ive a horse outside!

a bag of jokes karl jokes!!:wink:

Just because someone writes a song does not make it untouchable,surely people write songs for people to hear them.I don't get all this hype over what is right or wrong etc. regarding music. I happen to like or dislike what I hear according to my own personal taste - not on what is 'in' today. I have enjoyed watching and listening to Matt - Rebecca I could listen to but not watch - so I will buy any album they make and base further opinion on them from there.

I had never heard of Biffy before, love the song as done by Matt - it's a real grower, but having played Biffys once found it did nothing for me - my opinion, my taste and I haven't been back to play it again.

I cannot understand all these 'sheep' that are doing their utmost to keep Matt off having a No.1 for Xmas by backing (imo) utter cr*p to take it's place. The reasons why that are going around are unbelievably stupid and mostly incorrect anyway. Buying stuff you probably don't like or want especially just to upset someone else is so, so sad - but very, very British!

stupid censored version:joker:
and they changed the grab me by the ponytail and ride me like a horse bit to grab me by the ponytail and pet me like a horse:joker::joker::joker:

listen to this its amazing!
40 minutes long but its so good especially when blind boy from the bandits comes in and is actually really intelligent and no one expected it haha

These people who are buying it this time (out of spite IMO)...did they buy it last time?

Just curious...

id never buy any of those even if i support it
1 person wont make a difference lol

I have to wait till later cos I'm at work now:bawling:

Is that the original song you're calling utter crap or one of the other anti X factor songs that people are backing to beat Matt to #1?

aw its really good its like this guy who hates the rubberbandits and willie odea is like saying he loves the bandits then more people who hate them call in and then blind boy calls and owns them all :laugh:

Doubt it, it only made #20 in the charts I think

Thought as much.

The novelty songs ,but having said that the ones buying the original are obviously doing it out of spite as they had the chance last year and as someone so rightly said it only got to number 20,so instead of dissing Matt they should actually be thanking him,There are two or three people trying to beat him now,how bleedin childish.people need to get over it and move on.has there ever been another XFactor winner who has had to contend with such nasty comments,you'de think he'de robbed their grannies!

erm yeah, Joe McElderry got much worse last year. bleeding heart.

I personally can't stand either versions of this song. :S

Joe got a lot worse last year, plus Matt doesn't seem that bothered about it, not taking it personally at all and has said himself he didn't particularly want to do the song so I don't see what the fuss is about really with people jumping to defend his right to get #1 (and I like him, just not the cover).

"Instead of dissing Matt they should be thanking him"

Yeah because prior to this they were so unknown with their #2 and #3 albums (certified gold + platinum respectively) and 15 top 40 singles.

And I haven't actually seen them dissing Matt. I've heard them refer to it as "an X Factor cover" which is only really a criticism if you subscribe to the idea that X Factor covers are bad things...and since you don't, and you love his cover...you don't.

I just cant see why the fuss about him doing this song,funny that quote you gave as I have him saying he really likes the song so who knows , dont really care,I like his version and that is the one I will buy.
