Dumb sheepish teenagers are probably envious of Joe because of his age. The mass of belligerent fools aren't supporting the song to get at Cowell, they want to spite someone who is bigger than they will ever be.

Since 2007 maybe, but rage have been around for so long. They are true legends. I doubt that many are envious of joe. He'll get this xmas number 2 and then fade into the distance...

Define talentless and explain why you think someone who wins a national singing competiton fits that description.

The key point being 15 years. There's no reason to suggest some winners such as Leona Lewis or Will Young won't still be doing their thing in 15 years. Of course some have faded to nothing but that's the same with all genres no matter how anyone gets famous. That aside, I still don't think you can say X-Factor winners have achieved "nothing" when the whole point of this campaign was to stop their fantastic run of number 1s

Exactly, like everyone else except Leona because she actually had talent.

I still don't understand why I should feel sorry for him :S I'll save my pity for people who'll be living homeless or suffering with terminal illnesses etc. this christmas, not some kid who got through a reality show on grannies' and Cheryl Cole fans' votes because he might be number 2 in the charts. He isn't that impressive either. He sounds like a typical musical theatre singer. Danyl, for one, was a much stronger performer and singer.
