The page 3 girl doesn't really care about global warming then? :D

 

:exc:

 

I reckon that The Sun have more than likely made the whole thing up. I don't buy newspapers anymore after my work place was slated in the Daily Mail and everything they printed was totally incorrect. It's crazy that they're allowed to print lies but there you go :(

 

The last I heard, Joe was in the lead by 9,000 copies but my BF reckons that RATM sales have rocketed again so it's going to be a close one. Eeeeeeek!

Haha i wonder if Simon Cowell will look even more miserable than normal (is that humanly possible?).

 

I know he gets money from both, but it's still funny :(

Was anyone else insulted by Cowell's comment that it was a campaign backed by 'musical snobs'?

 

What does he mean by that? Does he mean that any old s*it with a tune should get to number one as long as the singer has a nice haircut and white teeth. If that is the case then i am happy to call myself a musical snob.

I don't know what he was getting at, but i think a lot of the people who preferred RATM to his X Factor winner didn't have a problem with the artist, it's live and let live with music, it was against him trying to run things, and the labels and trends and whatever continuously controlling the chart, not being snobbish towards someone who can obviously sing well. The fact that a song from 1992 by an artist who love to challenge things, make statements and play for themselves, got to the top, is a fantastic message to Cowell that he should stop and think about.

Hey i have nothing against the guy, i do admire anyone who can sing and put their all into something, and hope he finds a place for himself in the music world rather than just be a gimmick for a year or two and then vanish into nothingness thanks to Cowell's mismanagement of his career!
