Joe + Xfactor.

The UK just gave you a combined "Fuck off!"

Love it!

Not really

Yeah really

Funny how all of a sudden Joe couldnt make it to the studio

He congratulated them on twitter, something RATM wouldn't have done.

again I repeat, not really, you need to get a perspective carl

They congratulated him on getting 2nd place, live on air.

You need to stop defending the loser

Yes of course they did, it's a digg obviously.

I'm not defending him, his song sucked just as much as RATM

It was good, that's what it was.

You've been very defensive of him since this entire thing came onto the forums...

But hey, the majority would rather have Rage at number 1.
Hopefully Xfactor gets screwed over again next year too, but that time... With an actual Christmas song

Ok, I need some clarifying, who is Joe and what is this about?

On the song, it really is better than anything miley cyrus has, and even if I dont think its one of the bests songs ever its good.



X factor, loosing the #1 stop for X mas

So it was a digg and you proved my point, thanks.

I was in camp RATM when this thing started, then I actually listened to the song and realised how hostile the people (fans) behind it were and became neutral.

 

in reality, the UK did not stick its fingers up at simon and joe (20 million people watched the final, 1/3 of this entire country.) less than 0.1% of people bought RATM, even then it was multiple purchases from people, I doubt many that bought joes single was because they wanted to beat RATM.

Last line, totally agree, I would love for a true christmas song to be number 1, be it from a unknown band or x factor, not some soppy crap ballad or some angry slitty wrist shite.



 

Joe was never going 2 be successful anyway, its so obvious!

Hooray, the christmas number one winner actually wrote their own song.

Suit him perfect. Anyway, I worded my point really badly - what I meant was that he was never going to be a big pop icon and have alot of success in the charts. He doesn't have the looks, presence, attitude or stlye of voice for it. He would be far better at panto, or kids songs (Disney).

So what? All that matters is, he won... And he can gloat about it just as Joe and definately Simon would have done. And it's not like it was a personaly attack at Joe... I mean, the group was together before he was announced the winner.

20m people watched the final, and his single sold ~450k copies... Goes to show you the quality of it is rubbish, again... Just like the past few years (baring Leona, the only talented one from the lot) and Killing isn't exactly what i would call a top quality song either, but id rather listen to it than yet another ballad from some pop star.

Plus, the RatM group has raised over 60k for charity. Can't argue with that!
