lol I was thinking the same :S there are singers far better than he'll ever be who might get a few hundred listens on youtube or myspace and he's moaning because he might be number 2 in the charts? Ungrateful or what. If he didn't go on the X Factor he'd still be training to be in a local production of Joseph and the technicolour dreamcoat :rolleyes:

I think Joe just might win this - I was looking forward to the free RATM gig that was promised if they win as well. ******* *****.

RATM still first on itunes.

Well it's going to be very close then. I really hope Rage will win to give all these nay sayers a good shock. And that free gig sounds awesome.

Also, I saw a report earlier about Joe bad mouthing Rage Against the Machine because of this campaign. Really, what a little cocky ****. So now he is better than a band that is popular within it's own genre of music, and has been for what... almost 20 years now? He said something like they wouldn't get past the X Factor auditions - ye, no ****, it's a POP competition.

Yes, pop means popular, but doesn't mean any popular song is in the pop genre. Pop is stuff like Joe. If there's a heavy metal song that's popular, that doesn't make it part of the pop genre.

Yes it does. RATM are every bit pop music, they have nothing of the underground to their name and just because they don't make the same noises as Enrique or 5ive or whoever else you class as pop doesn't make them not pop music. I don't get why people are so against having their preferred band classed in a certain way - if someone wants to call Tchaikovsky rap metal I don't really care, I like his stuff and will continue to no matter how mainstream it may or may not be, it doesn't bother me one single bit what tags anyone wants to give him.

any purchace from from now on go twords next weeks charts, wonder who won lol
