What song do I buy to stop the X Factor?

[Yakattack]

Help What song do I buy this year to stop the Fix Faxtor "act" getting to no1...is it Nivana or the pouges or Irma Thomas????

[Hopkirk]

I don't think the karaoke show winners will threaten No 1 this year.

The show is so old and tired now.

[MarkRae]

That would be "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana - definitely not the pouges..

[Space-Cadet]

If that is your only reason for buying......you are just a bit , well

daft


(imo of course)

[ichkeria]

pouges?

[notasyoungasiwas]

I think Hopkirk has hit the nail on the head there !

[Hopkirk]

Aren't the Military Wives making a run at it?

[missprim]

I would prefer to buy a Cd where the money goes to a charity, are there any about?

[pa___ul3]

I think Hopkirk and Notas have a little too much faith in public taste.
I can't see anything keeping them off Xmas #1, although I really wouldn't be bothered if they were or weren't, what harm does it do?

[GRUMPY]

Get the Milatary wives, at least the proceeds go to a good cause and not into Simon Cowels pocket.

[Vicasso]

As per Hopkirk...

as above, i think the military wives will do a good job in keeping them down.
even a facebook page - see the link below the single.

Yes, I think the Military Wives are having a go - they get a lot of stick, but I quite like them.

[EvianBaby]

Paul - they were knocked off the No1 spot last year by Rage Against The Machine. I would think after that happening there will be even more on board for the same sort of thing this year.

Although I think the Military Wives are bookies favourites anyway.

aye I know Evian, which makes me think it's less likely this year, because that's been done now.
I don't like that idea anyway, buying someone elses track to spite another group, kind of goes against what Christmas is all about.

[pa___ul3]

I didn't know about the military wives, so at least there's a genuine competitor. The thing with the wanting to stop the x-factor getting to number 1 thing as now there'll be a few options, as per the Yak's dilemma, that could split the sales leaving little mick to walk it!

[ichkeria]

In the days when I cared about such important matters I once bought Cliff Richard's "Lord's Prayer" single in an effort to keep the Wam Du Project off the Christmas No 1 "slot" , largely because such a ridiculous fuss had been made about the former.

[ummmm]

The sales of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' also go to charity.

[EvianBaby]

Yeah you're right Paul about there being so many going for it this year that the people who don't buy X Factor will be spread over the others and it will still probably get to No1.

I sort of agree with you that it doesn't really matter whats No1 but I do dislike the way it's just been taken for granted that the XFactor can rehash any old song (not even write their own original one) and it will get there.

I would prefer to see something else at No1 but then I don't suppose I really have a say as I won't be buying any of them.

[pa___ul3]

I know what you mean Evian, but that's just what happens now, before the X factor did it Westlife dished up old covers and made fortunes.
If I were to orchestrate it all I'd have a relatively unheard of, upcoming band beat them to #1, one that had worked really hard to get any hint of recognition, that would be lovely!
