ditto kerryberry - i hate all the maufactured songs! I thought the point of x factor was for people to get a 'break' as Mr Cowell puts it. But how is Joe singing 'the climb' really giving a good 'insight' to what his own stuff is really going to be like. Having siad that I think it is a bit mean on Joe McElderry to have people voting on Facebook to buy another song for the Christmas no.1 - Just because people don't like Mr Cowell I don't think that Joe should take the brunt of it. I don't agree with how Mr Cowell played the whole Jedward thing, nevertheless that isn't down to Joe is it? Seems to me the x factor winners are powerless when it comes to the Christmas no1. I tell you what though I would much rather listen to 'the climb' rather than Cliff Richards tripe...
