I'm happy with the result tonight although I hope people don't get carried away with it and start to force a song to the top of the charts all the time as they won't be any different to Simon Cowell. Hopefully, it's at least got across a message that many people are disillusioned with the state of music today. Although some people dislike the RATM song it was the perfect song for people to rally behind for what were a number of different reasons.
Some people were sick of Christmas number 1 being decided before any singles were even released, others simply don't like how Cowell controlls much of the charts but personally I bought the song as I don't like the state modern music is in. Pop music has it's place and I'm not against it existing in the charts but I am worried at the lack of real 'artists' around, people who actually write songs about things that matter and have an effect on you. I honestly can't think of any current acts who will ever be remembered as great song writters like Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen ect.
Another thing this campaign has highlighted is the lazy journalism standards we have here. I can't count how many times it was reported that the campaign was stupid as it would make Cowell richer as both acts were owned by Sony. One, that was never the point anyway and two, I never knew Cowell was CEO of Sony Corp! The acts were both under different labels attached to Sony, Simon Cowell has nothing to do with Epic Records (RATM). I also saw numerous reports stating that RATM were the ones starting the campaign which anyone with access to the internet knows isn't true.
Sorry for the long post (if you finished reading it all
