Christ, can simon jsut shut up.

Stephanie 18-12-2009 08:59 AM

it's pathetic. simon is so silly :rolleyes:

I agree with him, not the bullying.

But how would joe feel, that hundreds of thousands of people are actually buying something else just so he cant get his first number 1.

Although he realises its not about him as a person but as x factor as a whole, but he would still feel horrible i imagine.

I do think a lot of people are just 'jumping on the bandwagon' and going with the crowd. A lot probably don't really know or care why they are doing so - just want to be part of the crowd. It all apparently originated from one bitter British guy who has some kind of gripe with Mr Cowell. Personally, I don't give a damn about him - but think it is unfair on Joe who is just trying to build a singing career.

I don't get all these hate groups. Whoever the hell the public prefer is gonna be #1. Simple as that. :confused:

InOne 18-12-2009 11:02 AM

I think this is just getting Joe ready for the fact he is going to fail anyway. He is stealing Christmas No.1 what does Simon expect?

MarkWaldorf 18-12-2009 11:27 AM

Like it or not, it has become vicious. RATM fans are spamming Joe videos with abusive messages, joining his forums as trolls and lowing his ratings on download sites. Some of the homophobic and disgusting messages I've read on YouTube followed by 'RATM for xmas number 1!!!' are shocking.

The idea behind the campaign is something I can understand, but what it's become is nothing but a parody of itself. I honestly hope Joe gets number one, because he's been nothing but gracious about the whole thing - but the same can't be said for people on the RATM side. There must be justice in this world.

An odd record to back to try and stop the X Factor winner's song.......but good luck to 'em I say. And bullying? Drivel, Mr. Cowell.

I'd rather have seen Leona's 'scyho' at number 1 on downloads after THAT performance!

I highly doubt Joe looks at the forums and his youtube videos anyway.

Simon's desperate, he'll do anything to make it look bad so that Joe can get the number 1, Even though it's all about Simon he's trying to make out that the group's against Joe. It's quite a dirty move really, accusing someone of bullying to get ahead in the charts.

MarkWaldorf 18-12-2009 11:31 AM

Maybe not, but that doesn't mean they should be written there in the first place. His fans are the ones that have to defend him and read them.

InOne 18-12-2009 11:32 AM

Well let his fans deal with it. People say bad stuff about singers all the time, it's the way it goes.

I like this boycott.

Joe is just another puppet being used for financial gain. He's nothing special. Look at him. Just an average 18 year old kid, with a good, but bland voice. He's even singing a shitty Miley Cyrus song for Christmas no.1. It's taking the piss. X Factor makes me sick.

We all know that the week after xmas Joe will grab number #1 spot and RATM will be out the charts anyway. So he WILL get his first number 1 no matter what just it might not be on Christmas.


Also this campaign is not about Joe himself, it's about the whole X Factor show itself. He was just unfortunate to be caught in the middle of it all. However.. i do think that posting anti-Joe messages and harrassement to him on his videos by supporters of the RATM campaign is going too far.

It has turned a bit vicious, and just plain annoying really!

InOne 18-12-2009 12:36 PM

To all those who say it's 'Jumping on the bandwagon'
 
New topic 2 secs lol

Patrick 18-12-2009 12:39 PM

Well said Simon you complete legend.

RATM are little pathetic pricks, It would be diffrent if their song was chrismassy, Joes song is more Christmassy than their Rock Bullshit.

I urge all of you to buy or even download Joes album to support him.

And wipe the smug look of these bastards faces come Christmas :)

Again Patrick, RATM did not start this campaign!! But of course they're bound to be happy that an old song of theirs may get to the Xmas song in the UK, who wouldn't be happy about that!!
