Poll: So, about that No. 1...

[Buizel91]

pfft i wanted joe to be number 1, id rather listen to that with my family and not RATM.

i admit the X-factor has been abit annoying but the group coulda picked summit like the puges or shakin stevens ffs. ppft ah well me waffeling aint gunna change out, me thinks he will be number 1 in a week or 2, even if it chrimbo number 1, he could have the new year number 1 =)

 

[Buizel91]

Personally i wanted Journey, but gratz to RATM!

Fuck you Simon Cowell

im pretty sure simon had summit to do with RATM at one point? meh what i read anyway

 

[Buizel91]

who is rage and what is x factor?

RATM are a rock band =) look em up, and X-factor is Britain's most popular reality TV show, followed by Britain's Got Talent =)

the X-factor winner has had the chrimbo number 1 for about 4-5 years now and everyone got sick of it and decided to boycott it =)

 

[The_Bearded_One]

and some people were saying that it was getting as predictable as the north korean election poll results

not anymore it aint

good on the internet proving that people really really dont care that money bags cowell wont be getting his new house next year

 

[Nanaki316]

It would be nice if the Christmas No.1 was still about Christmas but still this does amuse me slightly. It's been a tradition for so many years that the x-factor winner gets it even when the song is complete and utter bullshit.

 

[bad rider]

It'd be really nice to have had a Christmas winter holiday song be number one, but it's better than that x factor crap.

Actually screw everyone else this years number one is YES Wombling merry Christmas.

 

[Sun Flash]

So, he has just admitted to making the X-Factor for the sake of getting Christmas No.1s?
I hate him and his trousers even more now.

don't forget his haircut

OT; christmas charts should be about chirstmas songs, but with the current x factor monopoly of the whole thing, I think RATM suited it perfectly. Apart from the Sony BMG thing, but it was about X Factor, not the record label.

 

[Bagaloo]

You know its kinda pointless, right?
Most radio stations probably wont play it because of the profanity, and will just play Joe Mcwhatshisface's stuff anyway.

Still, it was pretty funny.

*Edit*
Actually, the more I think about it, the less pointless I think it was.
Hooray for RATM, and the free gig

tl;dr : Ignore me.

 

[Sovvolf]

Well a Christmas song should be No.1 and despite the fact that I'm not all that into them I'm glad RATM won rather then another X-Factor winner.

 

[thylasos]

I'm just so glad there'll occasionally be something decent on the radio this Christmas, in the UK.

 

[Wadders]

Fuck yes!

I'm just happy that people decided to go out and buy the record and give a big fat middle finger to Simon Cowell, the X Factor, and all the rest of that shite.

No matter what I think about Rage's overall message, I'm happy for them for winning, and I love their music for what it is

I feel a little bad about Joe, but maybe its what he deserves for whoring himself out to purveyors of musical filth such as Cowell and his partners in crime. It's not like X Factor are fucking obliged to win Christmas Number 1 ever god damned year.

 

[ActionDan]

Don't care either way to be honest.

 

[mikecoulter]

Well, I was wrong. This wasn't as pointless as the L4D2 boycott.

You have all proven me wrong. Feel free to rub it in my face.

*Rubs in face...?*

I'm impressed that word of mouth managed this.

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

Lame.

I like RATM, but that's exactly why I think they shouldn't lower themselves to pathetic stunts like this.

 

[Ben Legend]

Well, I was wrong. This wasn't as pointless as the L4D2 boycott.

You have all proven me wrong. Feel free to rub it in my face.

*rubs shit in face*

Too far?

I'll go get a tissue.

Thank you. I think I got some dirt in my nose. *blows out snot and mud from nose* Ew, it's sticky and it's moving. Hey... Is that a worm?

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

If you're happy RATM won - grow the **** up and get out this country you f**king tool. A song about rebellion by a guy that can't sing, who signed a contract with a multibillion dollar company? Yeah real smart and sticking by his songs.
Not to mention "Let's rebel against conformity by conforming to something else". You people should be shot and used for fertiliser, because clearly you have no brains.

Whereas I see your point, I think it's a little harsh. Although I am happy RATM won, I didn't buy the track again and I don't like the campaign. So, almost what this guy said. Just nicer.
