but I just can't help but feel for Joe - he will be the first winner not to go straight to number one

feel a bit for Joe, :rolleyes: screw Joe! if he actually had any singing talent he wouldn't have had to go on x-faktor.

a number one in the UK singles chart means nothing since x-faktor has been on the tv, it has nothing to do with music or talent, its all about marketing & which contestant can make the most money for Simon & Co in the shortest amount of time, its as simple as that !

it will be the same next year & so on as each new crop of tweenie's gets sucked into it, i'm glad i don't watch itv at all

itv = tv for the lowest common denominator !

If Joes first single was a new song and not a cover, it wouldn't be so bad. Granted that singers/bands/groups do cover songs at first to get themselves started but releasing a cover song to start a music career feels like plagarism. I wonder how Miley Cyrus feels her version of the song reached no11 in the UK charts where Joe will acheive at least no2.

Think Joe will win the battle on the basis that he has a wider target audience than RATM.

It's not really plagiarism if credit is given. In the insert of Joe's CD it says that the song was written by Jessica Alexander and Jon Mabe. Acknowledgement is given here, so it's fine.

I am proud to say I purchased it earlier. :D

It annoys me that the xfactor winner always gets the christmas number 1 now but thats just the way it is. If there was a better more popular song than Joes then i would be happy for it to be number 1 but the RATM thing is just a stupid protest vote thats pointless.

Joe will be number 1.

She'll get plenty of money for it to compensate, so I doubt she'll mind.

I'm more amused by Cheryl Cole (the c*nt) saying it'd be a sad state of affairs if a US song like Rage got to #1, as if a cover of an American song is ever so slightly better.

The guy seems nice enough, but he's not a rock fan and he clearly doesn't like Rage, so he can fuck off.

Sales no longer count for Christmas number one...the phone lines are closed...the votes are in...tomorrow Scott will reveal who has number 1.

Things I found out today:

RATM will donating money they make to charity.

If RATM get number 1 then they will hold a free concert in the UK.

OK. I'm happy. Very happy. I don't have anything against Joe, but i am just happy that this x factor spell has been broken. Its strangle hold that it had on the charts is now at an end. The great British public have united and overthrown this manufactured monopoly. Now can we unite to overthrow the lying bastards in parliament?

take control

    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
