  • im glad RATM won, about time someone stood up to this fake pop shit

  • fuck consumerism. rage forever.

  • i ♥ how down to earth he is when she said he won X-factor " I haven't taken it personally.. which balantently makes it not personal " love him sooo much support him all the way

  • We all need a friend like Joe McEldry!♥♥♥

    Irish is awesome , at first i thought he said he was Keltic but idrk ?

    Either way love 'em ^_^ sweet mother of a man

  • He sounds like a little girl. Good thing his faggot ass lost. RATM SUCKA'S

  • @Sodasecta fuck off

  • "I can't imagen people eating their christmas trukey" I do it all the time, even when it's not christmas!

  • One of the 400,000 c: Luv ya Joe <3

  • Rageeeeee.

  • ahh this guy deserves an ommggg sooo cute! hahaha, you deserve all the successes that have come to you joe :)

  • I really wanna see him in a movie.. nice and also deep movie... Love Actually comes in mind :) He'd be great !

  • he is sooo hot and he is very respected he spoke like such a gentle men he is such a cutie love you joe xx :) xx

  • Such a handsome, bright and well spoken young man! Any parent would be blessed to have for a son. If he wasn't gay he wouldn't be the man he is. He is also strong and brave to OWN UP to his true identity in order to show to others that it doesn't matter who you are you can SHINE within the gift God gives you. A lot of artists, actors etc prefer to live a lie to please an ignorant society, Joe said NO! I AM WHO I AM! Much respect for that!

  • hahahaha his face when he congratulates Rage ... truly priceless!

  • huhh!!

  • Comment removed

  • Iron Maiden for Christmas number 1 2010!

  • SIMMERING MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO DONT LIKE CRAPPY POP MUSIC FOR THE WIN :D

  • RAGE RULLLEE!!!!!! YES YES YES

  • he'd never heard of RATM ... o.O

  • Gotta love RATM!! where is HE now??

  • joe mcgaydery

  • sooo cute. i voted for him 5 times on x factor

  • I'm 16 I have never heared a RATM, when I did, I came to the realisation at to how dreadfull their music is... they have no talent... case closed

    I cannot belive how gracious he was, he really needed a christmas no. 1, and who gives a fling woot if he is gay, it dosen't affect him as a person or his music, so lay off already...

  • @designkid5555 how unfair.

  • @deafened And by that you mean.....

  • @designkid5555 they do have talent.

  • @deafened Ya think..... That's fine, but I couldn't disagree more :P

  • @designkid5555 its one thing to say you dont like their music, that's fine. but to say that a band that have sold millions of records and influenced so many other bands and musicians, whose music will remain in the public consciousness for a very long time to come (because of its quality and because of the message that they convey) has absolutely no talent at all is blatantly ignorant.

  • @deafened Ok, that's fine, but In my mind they don't have talent, and i don't like their music, it's ok if you like it, you'll more than likely hate the stuff I listen to if you like RATM, but It's just an opinon, there's no need to get worked up over it :D

    xoxo

  • @designkid5555 ....did you understand a word of what i just said?

  • @deafened Just becuase a band has sold millions of records and influenced so many people doesn't mean I have to like them, ..... or think that they have talent :P

    xoxo

  • @designkid5555 you dont have to like them. you just have to appreciate that theyve done well, mainly because they have talent and that joe mcelderry is a nobody who has a decent voice.

  • @deafened That's fair enough, if they've done well good for them, but I never heared of them until the whole "Christmas No. 1" thing last year, but that's mainly because I wasn't part of their generation, I was only born in the 90's.

  • @designkid5555 so was I....their generation WAS the 90s. its called an interest in music.

  • @deafened Haha, lol, well I love music, but nothing like RATM, (I know your gonna call me sad) but I'm more of a Gaga/Katy Perry/Jay Z person, not to say I don't like rock, Linkin Park, All Time Low, Paramore, all great bands :)

  • @designkid5555 dont have a problem with them. theyre all ok i suppose.

  • @designkid5555 before you start flaming you should realize the band you are talking about. RATM have been one of the most influential and provocative bands EVER. Tom Morello is arguably the best guitarist in the world and even played with "The Boss" Bruce in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. From 1993-2000 (when they broke up) they were undoubtedly the best band out there. If you dont like their music so be it but just realize Rage started out in a slum in LA. Look where they are now

  • @gamingod7539 Yes... woo hoo for them... :S

  • I really find it truly hard to believe that a 19 year old boy has not heard/enjoyed RATM

    To be honest, He got more sales than he would have done normaly.

    The whole point of RATM petition is that, to show that there's people haven't given up on the popular music charts. You could say 'Who cares?' but yeah, I do thik many Rage fans do, but it was nice to see we still have a power of its monopoly.

    and Fuck you Joe, I ate all my xmas dinner to rage and loved it :)

  • I can't understand a word he is saying, probably should stop mumbling on Simon Cowels cock...

  • @intergalactic12

    im not even english and i understand him

    stop being an idiot

  • @emmtjje hahaha I'm sorry for being an idiot. :(

  • @intergalactic12

    okee

    i forgive you:p

  • He'd never heard of Rage Against The Machine..? WHAT!?

    What kind of musical upbringing did this kid have? I mean I love Musical Theatre...but Rage fookin' ROCK!!!

  • what a fag...

    HOW CAN ANY RESPECATBLE 19 YEAR OLD NOT HAVE HEARD OF RATM

  • fuckin fag

  • He'd never heard of Rage Against The Machine? They've been around for, like 20 years.

  • @mrwheezey .... when has Joe denied that he's GAY ??

    When was he asked ??

  • joe wont be successful in music, it;s a shame since he's probably, along with leona, one of the nicest, most genuine winners.....

    but he has no star quality about him

  • hey don't touch mine microphone.. you distracting me... :-)

  • I don't think anyone in the world has the right to speak out against this young guy. Joe, is one of the very few people I've met that you can tell as soon as you see him, that's he's a genuine, nice person. He's beautiful, talented and sweet - and anyone that says anything against him must be really sad, i mean sure, if you don't like his voice, fair enough...but nobody should be horrible about him.

  • hes so gay, why does he keep denying it?

  • What an amazing young man! Can't wait for your album. Don't stop believing! We are all here supporting you!

  • Bit of a contradiction RATM getting Xmas No.1. Supposed to be a song about rebelling and not doing what the majority want. But aren't the majority now on RATM's side with a huge internet campaign telling people to buy the record. Just a thought. Not a fan of Joe whatsoever but just ponder what I've said.

  • @Toon4Jonny Rage are about rebelling against the bullshit that is the system that feeds up bullshit. Has nothing to do with the majority.

  • Joe McElderry? I don't know but his face makes me wanna listen to RATM

  • just wait for him to dissipear, it's happening now.

  • He's a beautiful young man who seems to be greatly enjoying himself.He's earned it and I wish him my very best - Stan x x x

  • FUCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!

  • joe is so sweet i love him to bits !! he isent gay leave him alone

  • god i really dislike him lmao

  • joe isnt gay it says in a newspaper so leave him alone n so what if he was its not as if uve got a chance with him none of us do n hes such a nice bloke so back off n leave him alone

  • JOE MCELDERRY IS FITTTTTTTT xxxxxxxxxx

  • I bet he gets annoyed when that man keeps on adjusting his microphone.

  • haha yehh

  • dunno why they even recorded this...he is all "sales, sales i got sales and cole says i got sales and simon says i got sales"....doesnt that just put it down perfectly

  • Exactly.

  • Rage against the machine is an overall best group then joe they have actually made thier own songs have been doing this for a long time goo singer but rage against the machene is better ok just beilive it ballads suck unless you are a girl or a gay guy

  • he looks like a puppet on strings in that chair ahha

  • hey to all Joe McElderry fan's, I just got hold of his number, ring him he's soooo funny

  • lol at The Climb. Shouldn't Joe have picked a better song? The Climb was so recent and successful until Joe ruined it. Miley Cyrus should not have given X Factor permission to cover her record, everyone knows the original can't be beaten. OR Miley Cyrus intended not to give permission and Simon Cowell took that as a yes, which shows what a tyrant he is.

  • oops I meant "shouldn't Simon Cowell have picked a better song?" Joe had no choice anyway.

  • haha come on though lets me Fair GC0020 Miley Cyrus is a serious steaming pile of shit too...her musics just as bad as the crap churned out by x factor winners...look at Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke (who by the way have both turned into right arrogant little fuck nuts since they won x factor...even though their music is shitey shite shite). Rage Aginst TM, Kasabian, Biffy Clyro, Lost Prophets...all hail real music.

  • What an amazing young fellow. Gay? Straight? Goodness. What does it matter? His parents must be so proud to have such a lovely young gentleman as a son.

  • i love joe hes amazing:)

  • such a sweet guuuyyy xxxoxoxoxo

  • me heart JOEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • youdont either r you dont have a virgina if u are a girl if u or man you dont

  • @ cathalufc

    WHAT IS UR POINT GIRLFRIEND?

  • Ha, he fails. RATM ftw.

  • RATM are terrible lol, did u realise that on on hit 40 uk on xmas day they played joe's song all th way thru, nd RATM got played for 2 mins, failiures.

  • ratm have sold 10s of millions of albums you idiot the only reason they werent played is cuz this countrys commericalism is sickening

  • Only because the poor little dears might get hurt by the swearing in the last few minutes.

    Poor mites. Rage FTW.

  • luv this cutie....can't help but wish him well

  • haha! i listened to this on the radio :) soo glad he finally got #1 in the charts

  • Never heard of Rage Against?!

  • What??? They have been around for 2 decades.

  • Cant sing tbh

  • all those evil people who just watch this video to make fun of joe get lost, PLease if u dont like him, dont nwatch it and make people who do like him sad!!

  • @lottieluvsjoe STFU

  • why do people say horrible things about Joe? The thing people need to remember is that he is just a decent, nice bloke. Who gives a shit if he's gay, crap, or whatever. There are alot of really nasty people in this world and he's not one of them; please, people with horrible comments, look in the mirror and ask yourself why you say this.

  • @jzm3bsj fuck joe, ratm rules, not that fuckin fag shit ass gape bullshit

  • @jzm3bsj he is a nice decent bloke but who has no song writting talent and who cant sing. Hes just another "X factor product". We dont give a shit about him being gay or anything. Its just that hes a typical singer who brings out ONE single and then goes away!

  • @jzm3bsj a REally agree WId yEw

    those peOples R jusT SHitS!

    Hate zEM

  • I really like Joe but seriously, he must be in the closet... every time he speaks, I can't help thinking he must be gay!

  • @ cfar777 - and so what??

    WHAT IS UR POINT GIRLFRIEND?

  • LOL!! Firstly, I'm not a girl. Secondly, I have no problem with it except that he says he isn't, when he probably is... But of course, I could be wrong...

  • in fairness to Joe, he can sing. However, he lacks charisma to people of all ages.... unlike Olly, he has got the charms to tickle people from all walks of life. Olly is a good singer and a good performer. OLLY IS A TOTAL PERFORMER.

  • Actually for me, Olly is boring but Joe is spellbinding - his voice and stage presence are mesmerising...

  • yeh i know olly totally deserved to win he had the whole package.. joe just stands and sings, not really performing

    joe's sweet though :)

  • olly oculdnt even fucking sing the climb propaly couldnt hit the high note nad was off tune so get a life olly is a fucking puff

  • hey sorry i didn't mean to offend anyone, i like joe but i just get a bit bored by him... just think olly had more performance skills. thats just my opinion. hey i brought his winning single so there :)

  • The most telling thing about The Climb - and I don't think it was the best song for either Joe or Olly - is while the choir backed Joe, they, totally and utterly, carried Olly

  • Didn't you see the YouGov poll in The Sun projecting a landslide victory for Joe? He was the finalist who appealed to ALL ages, Olly was most popular among under 35s.

    The competition was only really for second place once Joe broke clear of the field following his stunning performance of DLTSGDOM in week 7.

    Olly could have won but he needed nothing short of a series of spectacular performances, in addition to Joe's golden voice failing him to win - and even then it would have been close.

  • DJGray....hehe come on..be serious..how long do you think this little kids career will last...my guess is...you wont even hear about him in a year or so's time..maximum......that said well done to Joe for getting the Christmass Number one...oh ........what??? you didnt..?? oh sorry my bad..well done Rage Against the Machine. ta :D

  • soooo why you watching it thennn :L

  • oh wow :I at the people saying he cant sing?? Like they say behind every successful person is a pack of haters! Bless him, hes so very gracious about the christmas number one :')

  • Puppet on a string.

  • why did this come up as a reply to me? :/ Dont get it.

  • he came first here in ireland!!! yay!! dedicated irish people or what eh?? ill c u 31 of march joe!! xxxxxxxxxx

  • omg he was the best x factor winner and that stupid band didnt let him get no 1 . them things on facebook were so so so so so mean to try and stop him so so mean! <3 you joe <3 <3 <3

  • ok the singer is not a singer he is a rapper and they do have talent and they can play music oh and they are not giving the teenagers impressions that its ok to be gay coz its not natural.

  • @funkymonk2390

    He's not gay :S and so, their are loads of gay celebs, Elton John, George Michael, Rupert Everret etc. They're all famous and much loved celebrities what differenc does it make that they're gay?! Stop being so rude, and homophobic.

  • yeah an thoes people are ok but this guy is a nob

  • Poor Joe, sucks that such a shitty band got the #1 spot. They're not "singers" nor do they play "music", nor do they have any "talent". It's not like they were actually any REAL competition.

  • Yes this is true, he cant even sing and X Factor is just karaoke nothing special.

  • @PapaGilson

    Can i just say that Joe Mcelderry is probably one of the best singers to have won The X Factor after Leona and Alexandra, and I think he;s going to do very well. Also, Rage Against the machine didn't get to no.1 b'cos of "talent" it was a protest that X Factor didn't get to no.1, it wasn't against Joe personally! Rage were chosen randomly, no one is going to buy their single, they did it to get to Simon Cowell, they won't be spoken of until next Christmas...

  • Your kidding, right?

    Yes, it was a protest. But no, Rage were not chosen randomly you fool.

    Its in the name.

    RAGE

    AGAINST

    THE MACHINE

    As in, dont let this X-Factor shit win every fucking X-mas. Joe didnt deserve it anyway, he was the worst singer there.

    Rage have a huge fan-base, something Joe doesnt have. Rage have been around for years and years to come...so dont go and say they wont be spoken of until next X-mas, seeing as they are one of the most influential bands ever.

  • @PapaGilson

    Ok, when was the last time they were mentioned since the new year? Not once, You shouldn't be against Joe, you should be against the X Factor Show

  • Because being mentioned every single day on the radio is the only way to be a popular?

    No. Look at Metallica, Iron Maiden, Motorhead...all those bands have been huge but havent been mentioned on the radio due to there genre of music.

    Its the same with Rage, because of there genre they are considered something people dont listen to. When in fact, they are extremely popular.

    And I am against the show, and everything that comes out of it. That includes Joe.

  • Idiot... Joe doesn't have a "fan base" because he's only been around for 6 months, unlike Crap In The Machine who's been around screaming out that garbage they call MUSAK for what, like 20 yrs ?? They're untalented HAS BEENS except amongst the braindead freaks, such as yourself, who wouldn't know REAL music or a truely talented singing voice if it bit them square in the ASS.

    They're little "stunt" is over now and they'll fade back into oblivion where they belong.

  • 6 months is a very long time to gain a huge fan base, look at the previous X-Factor winners.

    You seem to be getting extremely annoyed with my argument. My opinion is my opinion, and im telling you what my (and many others) opinion is.

    You dont have to take it personally. But to me, Joe cannot sing. He just plain cant.

    And I do know truely talented singing. Try listening to Jared Leto, fucking amazing singer. Absolutely flawless, Joe is nothing compared to him.

  • Worst singer there? Are you for fucking real?

  • well said !!!! i luv joe sooo much xx

  • Im American.. Whats the Christmas Number 1?

  • The song that receives the most sales in the week before Christmas. It's very important in England

  • Killing In The Name

    lmao cant belive u askd that

  • I think its hilarious when the man pulls the microphone down, and Joe's face :L and the debate over his surname, hahaha

  • hes such a kid hahaha

  • Joe and Rhydian are the best people to come out of x factor :)

  • hello? leona? and jls wooooo

    joe shouldn't have one it should have been one of the overs... just my opinion, don't mind him, he's just perfectly average

  • It'd be hilarious if his voice broke tomorrow. What would he do?

  • my god he's so nice! Balanced, mature, sweet natured, decent. Not a rebel, but very much his own person.

  • haha poor joe's so short theyhave to move the microphone down

  • Well, the good news is Joe went to no. 1 this week, Susan Boyle is still topping the album charts around the world, and Simon is getting a huge bonus for the downloads of RATM. Looks like everyone wins. What a great Christmas!!!

  • Joe is such a great singer! And he makes me wish I was 17 again..... :-)

  • The Climb went to number one on itunes on XMAS EVE!!!! So he DID have the NO1 after all!!!!!!

  • just to think facebook stopped him from reachin no.1 LIBERTIES!

  • I hoped the Climb would be #1, I did't write that there. :O So now it is. :)

  • I hoped Stacey would win, but I realy hoped when I heard that there was an competition between Joe and Machine that would be #1. Because Joe realy deserved it.

    But still, I was hoping that Stacey would win. But I think she has a great future to. And I think that Joe has a great furute either! :) At least I hope they do. :D

  • w0000t Joe 4 Eva

  • Cheddar cheeeeeeeeeeeeeese at it's best, what a load of shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite. X Factor lemmings couldn't buy you your no1. Next year the same, hopefully it will rid our screens of this manufactured pap.

  • Real music at the top of the charts! Thats what I like to see.

    Megadeth next year people!!

  • Joe u Rock

  • His voice is awesome !! I bet he had little sleep because of his dark circles xD

  • What a beautiful guy, inside and out. Too bad the world isn't full of people like him, instead of all the people who post hateful comments.

  • thank you for this, right on! His decency is one of the qualities that drives some hateful people wild.

  • No, that'd be his speaking voice, but whatever you want.

  • im really happy joe won, and it shows that evryone loved him.. i think he has something special. his different from other artist but i have a feeling his gone make a great artist... and im behind him all the way... xx

  • I cannot believe some of the nasty vindictive comments some people have made about Joe, the duet he sang with George Michael alone shows Joe has star quality, is it the fact he is just an ordinary lad from up north the problem people have with him.

  • u lot are stupid! at least he actually won.. none of u wud have a chance so fk off

  • i wish he'd marry cheryl

  • No-brainer.

    I love you,Joe. Merry X mas.

  • fuck you i wont buy what you sell me

  • RATM rule :D

  • Rage Supporters; Reach for the stars....then jump on a falling on and break your fucking neck !

  • Happy christmas and lets all stop moaning, be happy, its xmas eve... for joes sake, lets put him back up the number 1 space and keep him there 4ever!!!!

  • People who say they HATE him...look at his personality...listen to how nice he is...like leona lewis he will not let the fame go to his head and thats a brilliant attitude...Luv Yhoo Joeeee x

  • @24flowerpower nicely said! I hope for the best for him... he's just adorable :D

  • he could suck me off any day but i cant afford him x
