Yeah, but if X-Factor didn't rule the roost at Christmas then people wouldn't have to take such drastic measures to stop them getting to number 1.
I hate the fact that they (Simon Cowell & X-Factor) have killed the Christmas No 1. I mean, WHY do they have to have X-Factor on at the same time EVERY year? Isn't that SAYING something? Cowell is basically saying "I want the Christmas No 1 every year and all the other songs can sod off!"
I've been supporting the Florin Street Bands bid to re-ignite support for a TRUE Christmas song but they get no support as record companies bow down to X-Factor.
X-Factor should do the decent thing for once and run the show so that it finishes in JULY. I don't think anyone would give a damn then if they were number 1 then!
