Cardle: "Critics should give me a break"
 

How arrogant, You earn praise and he's done nothing to earn it so far. As for credibility, He's an X Factor artist now, It's something he'll never have. 'When We Collide' is just a cheesy X Factor song no matter how you cut it. I'm glad they changed the name really it distances itself from the superior original.

I agree with what he said, its annoying when people hark on about people 'ruining' their favourite songs, dont like it dont listen to it, thats what I say!

He shouldn't be given praise though, It's a typical X Factor cover. There's nothing original about his version. He deserves no praise at the moment. I think he's a bit of a Steve Brookstein V2. It's a shame we didn't have Sharon to put him in his place.

This. He's very gobby, he needs some media training IMO, he shouldn't be so vocal about his personal thoughts 'cause it'll be his undoing. Oh and he's getting much less of a tough time than Joe McElderry did last year; to my knowledge Joe never complained about it once.

they are both equally ****

he needs to keep his head down, we are seeing a nice Matt and a Matt that seems to be very vocal in his views.

Completely disagree with you. He was correct to say what he did. he opted to avoid the cheesy crap.

As for credibility - he won the show. That's enough credibility to start off with. People should cut him some slack - he's hardly Satan. Pfft.

Rebecca would have never been like this, she was such a humble woman :bored:

ive heard biffy clyros version and its ****.

although matt should take criticism on board instead of lashing out at them.

Yeah, it wasn't your average winner's song, but now he's changed it into one.

how is what he said arrogant? Dezzy, he could say I love cats and you would find something wrong with it!

how DARE he say he loves cats when there are so many dogs in the world :mad: WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?

:laugh:

He's so gonna flop...

Is it bad that I still haven't listened to it yet?

Look Cardle you signed your contract with the devil the second you went to those auditions. Suffer the consequences. Unless you look good in a tight dress or relocate to an unknown country to start from scratch again to gain respect and credibility, things aren't going to go your way. :devil: just ride the wave and make connections of your own. don't rely on them baby. they'll drop you like a hot sack soon :(

Biffy should be grateful to Matt and the X Factor and count the royalties. They'll never be a popular as this moment.

CONGRATS TO MATT FOR THE CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE!

Well people obviously prefer the 'XFactor' style as you call it,Matt has got it to number one,what I find arrogant is people thinking they own a song and no one else should touch it,and how on earth can you say the one that got to number 20 is superior? it may be to you but obviously not to the masses,they had a second chance and STILL did not make it.

Too right.

The reason he got Christmas number 1 is cos it means **** all anymore.

You don't know that.wasn't her song a cover?aren't all the XFactor songs covers who's to say the fans of the song Rebecca would have done would not have been so bitter as Biffys.

we all know that the XF winner is guaranteed xmas No1 these days...bar any campaigns. So its no big deal.

he needs to get a No1 of his own accord before he gets proper respect. Not with a cover or the momentum of XF behind him.

As for Biffy....they obviously gave their song to XF so they really have no place trying to distance themselves from it now. If you sell out then at least admit you sold out and reap whatever reward you were aiming to get. Otherwise you just look stupid and hypocritical.

i couldnt even get jedward into the top 100:(,but congratulations to matt as i do like him,and at least it isnt rage against the machine.

He's arrogant in thinking that he deserves praise when he's done very little to earn it. He'll get some slack when he's released some decent music but until or if that happens then he's gonna get derided like all the other sub par artists.

What makes him so special that critics can't have a negative opinion on him?

I think they wen't for a very credible song and overproduced it until it became a very cheesy and a typical X Factor single. It's nothing really new and it has none of the essence that made the original great. Winning the show is the easy part, it doesn't give you any credibility, it hinders you. Nobody will take him seriously and too right, winning a TV show means nothing. You've got to back it up with good songs and his song is shallow sh*t.

Other artists wouldn't get any slack for releasing terrible music, they'd get eaten up and spit out by critics as well, so again what makes him so special that he should be above this?

:joker:

and rightly so

they need to be in a bodybag not the charts

Yeah, Let's forget they've had critical success and Gold & Platinum albums sales before this because they're obviously some garage band who's lucky to be given some sort of hand by the Godlike Cowell :laugh: They didn't need X Factor and they don't care about it, I'm pretty sure it was their label that made the decision.

By your logic then the Crazy frog is better then Coldplay as it beat them to Number 1. The singles chart is a pit of bad taste and does nothing to grant credibility to anyone. The Albums chart is more credible and Biffy Clyro are more based around albums so their singles aren't going to do well in the singles chart is it's mostly dominated by pop/dance/R'n'B/Rap type music. It's common sense really. You're grasping at straws trying to defend it really. Anything can get to number 1 with the right promotion and Matt Cardle is a result of it. He wouldn't have done as well if it wasn't for the X Factor push.

Biffy got to number 20 in a chart where alternate types of music rarely make a splash and they didn't have the publicity either. It's much more of an achievement then Matt Cardle's number 1 and you're lying to yourself if you think he really earned it.

Difference between Rebecca's & Matt's songs was that the original of Rebecca's was an awful Duffy Album track and she could have only improved on it. Biffy's was much more superior, raw and heartfelt. Matt's version is robotic, stunted and quite frankly boring.

:nono:

well now aint that a shocker?

next time set your sights a bit lower...top 1000.

LOL @ the OP stating Matt 'HIT' out,hardly he just gave his opinion and rightly so.

Give the bloke chance,I am sure he will be happy to do his own stuff,he has said as much,but I would imagine at the moment things are still up in the air.

But Duffy fans would not have thought Duffy awful would they?same as you don't think Biffy is awful,they would have the same opinion as you,not all Biffy fans think Matt has ruined it either,people ARE entitalled to like what they want ,just because YOU think he has ruined it ,not everyone does,and Of course Matt earned his number one,he is the one that has slogged away for years with his music,I've heard Biffys(thanks to Matt) and for me it isn't as good as Matts,so sorry ,but it's true,There are lots of chart music i don't like but would never diss people for their preferences,it's their choice,whether I think the song is crap or not,it's not the end of the world now is it.You cannot force people to like the music you like.

What an arrogant git. The most powerful promotional machine in music pushed your by the numbers cover into the number one spot so that the droves of mindless girls who fell for your image might actually realize that you also dabble in a bit of music and might shell out for the ... oh I don't know ... fifteen or so copies it takes to actually get to number one nowadays.

Criticizm comes part and parcel with any musical endeavour even moreso with credible endeavours of which yours is not. Is it all really too much to handle as you roll around in the snow with a number one and a small army of people willing to fuck your brains out at the next inevitable nightclub appearance?

Matt has earned NOTHING. So what he's been 'slogging' away for years, so has many superior artists who won't have achieved his instant but fleeting 'success'. He won a talent show, he took the fast track since he obviously couldn't get anywhere by himself which speaks a lot about his future prospects. He's earned nothing so far and too right he's got critics, his version is **** and like all X Factor singles, no one will care in a few weeks time. They're disposable.

I'm not forcing anyone into anything, in fact you and the other fans have been reacting badly to anyone saying a word against him so don't try that point with me because it's hypocritical.

I'm just stating my opinion that Matt Cardle is generic and has no future in the industry and that his single is one of the worst X Factor Singles I've heard.

I dont seen how he made it an 'average XF song', whatever that may be o.o

I never understand why they don't write a new song for the winners song, as opposed to using somebody elses work...

It might not be to your liking, Matt might not be to your liking, but it's hardly terrible music.

You really loathe this guy with a passion....... it's quite bizarre to be honest, you harbour so much negative emotion for someone who did nothing more than win a singing contest. Do you know him personally. The way you go on about him, it's as though you really have something personal going on?

He's not above anything - and that includes being able to voice his opinions on things that relate to him directly and personally - he has a right of reply like anyone else who is being criticised!!

As for 'winning the show is the easy part'..... that's not even worth responding to.

Actually you are wrong. He's earned the title of Winner of X Factor 2010 - you might not be happy about it, but he has actually earned that, through merit alone (and not through judges 'tampering' with the voting processes).

It's pretty much a decent song that's been overproduced and been given a key change and a choir, it's a generic X factor cover, it's essentially the original with any merit stripped from it. It's terrible.

I don't care about him, I just think he's incredibly overrated and his fans make him out to be the second coming when in reality there's thousands of similar and better artists out there. He's nothing new or different. I'm not some deranged loon who hates him for no reason, I've always stated why I disliked him and those points always get ignored so that you, Kazanne & Niamh at times can try to paint me as something I'm not. It's a very low move. Argue my points instead of going straight for me. If I was a lesser person I'd probably question your own irrational emotive investment in him but I won't.

I'll repeat what I've said before to help you try to argue properly in future.

- Technically he's a good singer but he lacks depth or subtlety, despite his talent at hitting high notes, his voice is plain and lacks character.
- Limited, He's been put into the ballad box which means that he can turn a 4 minute song into 3 minutes and 45 seconds of waiting around until he reaches the key change. He also has no versatility as he failed whenever he tried something different to the boring ballads.
- His lower ranges suck, it's all about the big moment with him rather then the song as a whole.

Every artist gets criticised, Yet you don't get Lady Gaga crying to the press that critics should go easier on her. It comes with the job and the vast amount of money and luxuries he'll recieve. It's arrogance, he thinks just because he won he's above such things as criticism.

Finally on this quote, Winning is the easy part, especially for him, he won every show even when he was shocking :laugh: There was no question he wasn't going to win it so that was the easy part.

In the real world winning is more of a sign you're simply agreeable rather then having the potential to be successful as evidenced by the appalling success rate of the winning acts. Winning doesn't instantly make anyone a superstar or grant them instant respect. They've still got to earn it, Matt hasn't. Only gullible people who swallow every word Simon says honestly thinks that the X Factor is credible or some sort of worthy competition.

When (or more likely IF) he does something half decent with his album I'll give him praise. At the moment though there's nothing to write home about apart from a ropey cover.

for someone who doesn't care about him... you sure as hell bang on some amount about him. I don't think that's healthy. Sorry, but I don't.

As for his fans thinking he's the second coming. Get a grip for goodness sake, I like his voice, but I don't see anyone here fawning over him like he was something dropped from Heaven.

With regards to the rest of your rant - and that is what it is, a rant..... when you come down off your high horse, I may consider discussing with you, till then..... enjoy the view from your lofty position - but to be honest with you, given your own wording in many of your posts on this thread, I think you calling Matt 'arrogant' reminds me of 3 words: pot, kettle, black.

Go listen to Distant Dreamer by Duffy, Rebecca blew her out of the water.

And when writing a sentence, can you leave a space after a piece of punctuation rather than writing like you do, it's really annoying and hard to read.

Again you're playing the low card, are you capable of reacting to any criticism to Matt Cardle without resorting to calling the opposition unhealthy and deranged? It's a bit pathetic. Again if I sunk to your level I could laugh at the fact that you've argued for a multitude of pages over whether Ben and Mario or friends which paints you in a very hypocritical light...But I shan't. :)

Again discarding what I've said as a 'rant?'. To me that says you've got no counter for it or even better, you couldn't be bothered to read it. I'll take the victory here then and you've only sealed that by calling me arrogant. Getting personal again...

I know this seems to be a foreign concept to you my dear but in future you could try reading my posts, as alien as that may seem. But then again, you'll just discard anything I say by calling me arrogant, unbalanced and what other laughable insults you have to offer.
