The thing is, most people who want Killing in the name of to be number 1 this Christmas will probably already own it and see no reason to buy a second copy as they bought the album or the single at some point over the past 17 years.
Whereas the X-Factor Karaoke tripe is something that no one owns yet, thus giving it a heavy advantage. Seriously, Journey - Don't stop believing, could they have picked any more of a karaoke song for these people?
Anyway, in the support of good music I think I will buy Killing in the name of, or maybe buy it as a present for someone. |
Hey! I love that song! 
To be fair the guy who is likely to win the X-Factor is actually a very good singer (better than most in the charts currently anyway), the rest of them are very much meh. Of course I would never compare any of them to musical greats, such as RATM, and I would personally never buy their music as it's not what I like listening too but some of them are better singers than they get credit for.

Oh no, don't get me wrong it is an awesome song, it's just that it is also a stereotypical karaoke song. You get drunk people singing it in pubs on karaoke nights, it's almost inevitable.
To be honest I can't sing at all, so I'm not the best judge, but whenever I've watched X-Factor it's always seemed like pub singers who have got a lucky break.

Yeah I know what you mean, point proven by the fact I sang that very song in a rather drunken state on Friday night!
You're right with most of the X-Factor contestants but some of them are actually quite good. Of course the ability to sing doesn't mean they'll have a successful career in pop music. Anyway, I've decided to buy the RATM song as criminally, I don't own it yet!
