Christmas No1.
Captain Dallas

Well that's another No.1 bought and paid for. Well done Simon and friends.

You've lumbered another decent singer with a dreadul ballad, giving him instant success, so there's nowhere to go but down.

Apparently, if reports are to be believed, "That's My Goal" is the fastest selling single in history. Where have I heard that before, ah yes, a couple of years when Hear'Say's first single did the same, and look what happened to them.

Shanye seems like a decent bloke with a good voice, but his career will now be stage managed and heaven help him if he criticises their decisions, or worse doesn't sell many records a few months from now, Steve Brookstein knows only too well.

All the passion of his voice, and obvious talent, will be squeezed out to make room for another pile of cash and another home for his manager, the already smug and irritating Louis Walsh.

Music shouldn't be decided by a vote from the public on a talent show, it should come from the heart and airplay. So as we await this Sunday's inevitable conclusion when Shayne will sit on top of the charts, think about the long term effect. Get A&R men back to discovering real musicians at gigs instead of people who'd rather see money in their bank rather than investing it in future performers.

Oh well - it was bound to happen! I loved X Factopr, but I think the song isn't very good at all. I want Girls Aloud to be Number One - I think they deserve it a lot more and the song is excellent, just like their album.

maybe he got to be no 1 simply because of his looks and not his singing talent.............

The Christmas number one has been stripped of all meritorious worth these days. Yes, it's still worth a lot of money to the successful artist and producer, but the commercial powers now have such a stranglehold over the the competition that the whole thing is rendered futile.

but surely when we wake up on xmas morning, nizlopi will be number one?

surely when the xmas totp is on at 2pm, and plays the xmas number one just before the queen's speech, nizlopi will still be number one?

or are they pulling a fast one somewhere?
