Most of the campaigns to defeat X-factor to Christmas number 1 has been completely hairbrained.
The RATM campaign succeeded, but the song choice was hardly brilliant and there was lots of swearing - wow.
The silent record - interesting idea, but the idea of the music elite launching a campaign track of them not performing does not appeal to me. In many ways it simply dents one ego (Cowell's) by boosting the rather inflated egos of others.
My idea of a proper campaign would have been to use it as an opportunity to launch an unknown act - a bit like an unofficial X-factor based on musical act rather than a singing act. Either that or choose an Elton John record to propel (though consider my warning above about boosting egos).

And yet, strangely enough, its 12 year old girls* who are the core fans of the xfactor.
Well isnt that funny?
* Its kids who are the fans of that show.
Because the charts are filled with rubbish artists who made it so far on talent shows. I mean her from blackburn the other year, rubbish singer, absolutely terrible yet gets a number one.
Kids buy anything as they are more gullible than gullible sam and trust me, hes one gullible SOB.
Its like talentless cher will get a top 20 single and the people who buy it will be the same people who will slag off the genuinely talented MCs and Rappers in the UK because they havnt been on xfactor like cher.
its a joke, the who set up is. Good idea to start with but you are all being taken for a ride by the show.
Next year they could have a donkey doing the national anthem in flatulence and some idiots would buy it.
It isnt about the music at all, its about who the kids think is the best. Music has very little to do with it.
If they take away the gimmicks then they might have something.
The fact Wagner and Cher got into the live shows proves this point.
I meant childish, as in, childish behaviour. I wasn't talking about age. Age doesn't necessarily go hand in hand with being childish.
The fact that Cher's audition video has made the 11.6m mark, this says you're wrong.
No but after the antics on the show do you really think fans of the show are in a position to call anyone childish?
You are aware that people may of watched for the crack or to see how rubbish it was.
The "antics" are nothing to do with me.
Are they hell,lol,they just like getting on the bandwagon,Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I doubt it. That's probably just because you're against the show from the start.
Of course not but as a fan you support the show yes?
Other dont.
Oh really.
Elton john seems to think the shows a bit of a farce and he has some room to talk.
Unlike simon who is responsible for many novelty records such as zig and zag.
Also if you asked every credible artist on earth I suspect most would want to distance themselves from shows like the xfactor unless they were a bit skint or got a big payday.
How exactly has this got anything to with me saying anti X-Factor campaigners behave childishly?
You a fan of a childish show and you are calling people who are making a stand against said show childish.
Call it a protest if you like. Its basically what it is, just we are not causing havoc and trashing city centres across the UK
And non of these motor mouths had the courage to say their views on the show. Strange that.
From what I've seen it's not childish. I think you're exaggerating a bit there. There's also no "trashing" goes on either. That's ridiculous.
So what if an X-Factor single gets to number one? I think those who buy it must have to actually like the song to some extent, and there isn't anything wrong with buying something because you like it. If masses and masses of people enjoy the XFactor then that's upto them.
Why don't you (general you) just sit back and enjoy the music you like and stop worrying about everyone else? How does it really affect your life if an XF song is number one or not?
Why didn't I think of saying this?
