Posted December 20, 2009 I'm sure he loved it. Everything he's said all week has just been him playing it up. Fair enough, it's his job. I don't hate him for the X-factor (in fact, I think he's ace at what he does), I hate the mindless hordes who buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 20, 2009 I'm sure it will be soon enough. They'll be number one this week and then drop sharply next week with Joe getting the number one. I don't think there's any big release next week unless I'm mistaken? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 20, 2009 True... The original of The Climb is now on, haven't heard it before, but no that I have it makes Joe's version seem even worse! Seriously, why choose a song that was originally released 9 months earlier, especially one that is clearly meant for a female. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Facebook comment lol. When a 17 year old is the "original" singer of ur song...u know u're nothin more than a novelty act. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 20, 2009 Rage Against The Machine Gives BBC The Finger (Seriously) Just like their music, Rage Against The Machine's timeless attitude got them another controversial performance. The band was performing their 1992 hit single "Killing In The Name" on Radio 5 Live, when vocalist Zack de la Rocha well, ended the song the way it's meant to be played. RATM is going head to head with The X Factor's "Joe Mc'Whatever The Fuck He's Called" for the number 1 Christmas single spot. A Facebook group with over 900,000 (and counting) members are spreading the word that they want Rage's "Killing In The Name" as the #1 single. The band is giving all profits to their charitable fight against homelessness, they even have PAUL MCCARTNEY on their side. Read more about the fight for tr00ness over at Rockpit (who are also credited for the video below) All I can say is that, no matter how much time passes and how far these guys drift, give them a spot to perform and they'll blow you away. Tom's smile right before they played the song, says it all. http://www.themetalreporter.net/2009/12/rage-against-machine-give-bbc-finger.html Awesome.

Posted December 20, 2009 First or second, do you think Radio One will play it? Or is there a censored/different worded version? surely you should know that there is "radio safe" or radio friendly versions of nearly every single released :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
