Im irish and Faggot does not mean homosexual in the song at all.It just means you fool and edgit.People always want to find something wrong and presume they are slagging off Homosexuals.The song is about a Relationship.People who think they are slagging off gays are just SAD,F****** people.Get a life.

Tonight, Monday 19th December, on BBC Three at 9pm:
"The Story of... Fairytale Of New York".... "Uncovering the stories behind famous songs. For the first time in 18 years, all eight members of the Pogues return to the studio where their biggest hit and the nation's favourite Christmas song was recorded. Producer Steve Lillywhite strips Fairytale down to the basics and video director Peter Dougherty reveals the tricks behind the making of the video - including how a cameo from Hollywood star Matt Dillon stopped the Pogues from almost being arrested." Details from Digiguide. |

OMG! This was awful... Shane sounded better than Katie - it sounded like she was struggling with the song!
Anyone agree? |

It's on now. Good effort, but not on a par with Kirsty
. I think the fact that Shane appears to be ignoring Katie doesn't help - she's only young mate, give her a break. |

No lyric change. I dont see why they would as none of the words are used in any terrible context. Its just to people having a go at each other. I think Katie done a pretty good job with it too.

Never as good live or on the Telly as the origonal but still the best.
I understand the BeeB wanted a lyrics change but were told no way, origonal or we dont do it. |

I didnt think Katie did TOO badly but I do agree that her voice is too soft. She just sounds too NICE!
But did i hear right? Are they releasing this as a single? |
