# fuck off
twats everyone buying either one

I can't believe you've made me side more with the XFactor.
I'd rather have some insipid karaoke child pleasing the old dears and kids at Christmas who do care about the UK number 1 than a song from the 90s that was only popular because of swearing making a few geeks online giggle.

Why the fuck didn't you pick Slade or something vaguely Festive. Wankers

And the charity angle is pretty good considering how it has snowballed. They can hardly say 'actually, don't buy it', can they?

and this is a good tune, regardless of the swearing?

As much as I don't give much of a toss about the charts, surely you'd agree that after these insipid X factor clones getting the number 1 slot for 5 years in a row, it's time to break the cycle?

# X Factor is Syco records,
Rage is Epic records,

They may both be owned by Sony, but the record labels themselves are completely independent of eachother, neither of them will see profits from the other label. Sony will, but not a whole lot, I wouldn't think.

# Actually Slade would have been good
I think the choice of song was more directed at Simon Cowell himself. However I the Album RATM was an iconic one not only in its orginal style but in it not using guitar effects other than that available on a guitar amp.
It inspired a lots of muscians for years to come.
If Slade had been used I don't think that it would have had the same impact.

the Floral dance has more of a 'humourous' tone to it, which (to me, at least) would have subverted the trite offerings by X factor a tad better.
