I dont undesrtand. You want lots of people to do exactly as there told, based around the line "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me"?
The X Factor winner will get to Xmas number 1, of course they will, it's always the biggest selling single of the year because that's what the whole 3months worth of competition leads up to. Even last year's winner, who only really emerged towards the end of the competition, sold over half a million copies in 1 week. This year's winner is probably a little more obvious and will probably sell more copies than last year.
Facebook and Twitter are great for uniting people, it's fine that people join campaign groups to raise awareness, raise money for charity or reunite you with people you may have lost contact. However, the irony that you're asking 300,000 people to rage against the X factor machine by funding the Rage against the Machine machine is simply ludicrous.
I simply don't understand. It's not going to stop those half a million people buying the winner's single anyway so it doesn't stop the money going into the respective pockets of Cowell and songwriters. It also debases one of the great protest songs as a conflict with an ITV reality show. Is that really how Rage Against the Machine meant it? Does that not further ruin the credibility and respectability of a christmas number one instead of restoring it?
I am no fan of the X Factor but Im not going to protest it, the Xmas number 1 tradition has been dead for a while now and X Factor provides entertainment for a lot of people.
Please don't ruin a great song to get back at a poor one
