He has a xmas album out now, so that was obviously one of the tracks.
As a life long Rod fan, and having seen him perfom live BRILLIANTLY, I was disappointed not to see him sing on his own. IMO, I think it was a waste to have him on as a part of X factor band.
Dont s'pose he is bothered. Like someone said he is getting paid and getting publicity for the tour and the album.
