Rage against the x-factor
- Thread starter admin_exported
- Start date
There was a story in the daily mail saying that when he found out about the campain he did buy the rights but being a tabloid newspaper and since it seems to adore the x-factor a little bit of misinformation can go a long way, so true or not buy rages single whats important is not how much more money simon has its that something other than the x-factor is no1 !
Yup, just more publicity for the high trouser wearing buffoon that is Simon Cowell. Christmas number ones are nearly always naff anyway and lets face it with 3 months of bombarding the gullible ITV viewing public with his evil marketing campaign (sorry talent show), is it any surprise the winner will get to No.1, no matter what a few Rage fans do? That said, thanks to the campaign, I played the song on my Squeezebox for the first time in yonks and it's a great song.
PS. If anyone is left in any doubt, I can't stand X Factor, although Cheryl is fine.
PPS. Wasn't there a campaign last year to do the same except it backfired as Cowell owned the rights to the 'alternative' song?

Ye jeff Beck i think he got no2 its still worth a try from what ive read though 600 000 people have promised on facebook to buy it so its not just afew rage fans theres a big reaction against it .

Or even Jeff Buckley
It was Hallelujah, not Hi-ho Silver Lining (though don't rule that out as a future X Factor choice
)
But yes, Simon Cowell's Syco record label is stablemates with Columbia Records - issuer of the Buckley archive - unnder the Sony Music umbrella.....

ye sorry it was but i dont think this is about simon c. its just an opertunity to have something other than the latest x-factor winneras the xmas no1 im sure there are plenty other songs which would have been a better choice for xmas but thats the campain thats running and the one most likely to have chance so why not.
Perhaps you would prefer "Two Little Boys" by Rolf Harris as a re-issued Christmas number one? Always "Mistletoe and Wine" by Cliff as an alternative!

Its not 'important' at all. But since X factor started they can pretty much guarantee that EVERY year, whoever is the finalist will get the xmas number 1
Everyone has their own tastes but even the big groups like U2 and coldplay etc dont stand a chance against X factor finalists! Call me old fashioned but thats REALLY not what I believe should be happening.

I agree.Louis said that the Xfactor song would be number 1 and would sell 1 million copies. Imnot one of those who hates the show but I think itis a real shame when the Xmas number 1 is a given. I remember not so long ago you could place bets on what would be number 1. There was at least a couple of contenders. No point these days.Ah well!
Mind you better the Xfactor winner being number 1 than that George Michael drivel!
P.S. Was it just me or was the arrangement of Twist and Shout that Olly sang horrendous.
He should have sang the Chaka Demus and Pliers version!

I watched an entire X Factor for the first time ever last night. (okay, so I glanced up from WHF from time to time, but I vaguely followed what went on).
That Olly chap seemed to be a much better singer and performer.
Simon must be delighted he lost. Other than "Jedward", he owns all the acts. Much better putting forward the teen (not quite) sensation to be Christmas number one (supported by legions of young girls) and fade to obscurity in the New Year, when the runner-up can, like a true plucky brit underdogs, have a sustained career next year (by sustained career, I mean more than 3 singles).

Excellent cause already bought my copy, lets recover our xmas no1 people!
You don't need to be a fan of rage against the machine , just a fan of original music!
Ironically I don't mind X factor either, I do find it stupid that the song is a damn Miley Cyrus cover!

Try as I might I cannot see any content in this thread as regards Home Cinema
Should it not be moved to the Hi Fi section or better still discussed in some sad social networking site
I also didn't know this site could be used as free advertising to promote a recording by a particular artist to their financial benefit but if that is acceptable perhaps WHF could inform a certain Mr Cowell of the opportunity to respond
There are a lot more injustices in the world such as the war crimes , carried out in our name , by Tony Blair rather than a campaign against a rather irrelevant TV program but this is not the place for such discussions
Please please can we stick to forum content , Home Cinema

I honestly dont think RATM need any royalties generated from their mention on the WHFs. As influential as it is!
the_lhc:Lesmor, this thread isn't in the Home Cinema section of the forum.
It was, but I moved it to a more appropriate section.

Agreed, any discerning music fan shouldn't be concerned what's at number 1 in the pop charts.
(and for what it's worth I think Joe Mcelderry is only slightly less naff than Coldplay)

Who cares what the Xmas no.1 is? It's all meaningless these days anyway. Do people still take notice of the 'charts'?

Couldn't agree more, it's been talentless, manufactured bands for a while now. I can't listen to Capital Radio any more as all it plays is rubbish.

dont u fancy just once having the chance to have a little bit of say in the music industry instead of being bombarded with what those with the money and the power decide will be in the charts. its been controled for years and probably always will be, but heres a chance to stop the obvious from occuring. it may not work but its only a few pence. Rage against the machines single is currently sitting at no2 in the i-tunes charts!
Just heard on the news that this one is easily beating the x factor one in the download chart, mind you the x factor song is rubbish.
