X Factor Ruined Christmas

My feelings regarding the way Simon Cowell and the X Factor has a strangle hold on the Christmas Number 1, in song form.

Lyrics (as they can be hard to read on the vid):

Simon Cowell, what have you done?
You've ruined the Christmas number one.
You own the top ten, could you leave it at that?
It's a miracle real artists sell any tracks these days.
Come on, it's getting old,
Each year it's the same, there's no contest anymore.
We all know who'll win, X Factor again,
With a non-festive song that sounds an awful lot like last years.

X Factor ruined Christmas, X Factor did it again.
Five years in a row, can't you let go?
X Factor ruined Christmas, once again.

Now I'm sure I'm not the only one,
who feels like I feel, you've stolen the fun.
It scares me to think, we may never see,
A real number one, not while you're on the scene.
Where are the sleigh bells? And where is the cheese?
We want festive songs, with plenty of these (bells)
'Tis the season, for novelty acts,
So Please Simon give us our Christmas number one back.

Cheers for all the kind words, I was planning on re-uploading it with the ending cut shorter, though maybe it dragged on a bit too long. But I think I'll keep it how it is now :)

Nice video man. Rage Against the machine for number 1?

[texasheartshot]

Yeah, I'd love to see it happen, I'm a fan of RATM anyway, and anything is better than another X Factor winner's song :)

What's RATM got to do with Christmas? 

[metalguy098]

no-one bothers with christmas singles any more because of xfactor and the benders who win it i remember before xfactor came artists like shakin stevens was number 1 to bad xfactor wrecks christmas singles ad i like RATM FTW there better then joe i hope they get the number 1 single and this song deserves a 5 stars

I agree with you guys X-factor have made the christmas No1 boring. that's coming from a DJ and with some radio experience. I've also seen the battles for the Xmas No1 since the 1970's where people had fun predicting or betting with friends what it would be..

RATM!!!

[littlemissnaughtee]

[Speakersrock]

Cracking job. All the essential ingredients - jingles, tubular bells, two-tone guitar solo, cracking chorus. And a message. Merry Christmas.
