Time for a remix of Ernie!

well, whichever way you look at it, people have been manipulated into buying one or the other of the records. Either way, you've been duped.

 

Well, yes. Except I didn't buy either, because I don't like either. I DO like Joe, who has a beautiful singing voice, but the song was poor, so I wouldn't buy it. I will buy any song that I like, including ones by X-Factor winners, provided it is a good song, and well sung.

 

The RATM offering is terrible. It is not rock music (and I like a lot of rock bands including quite a lot of HM bands). It is a poor "song", very badly played by a group of people who are not in any sense of the word musicians, but simply like to make a lot of discordant noise, shout and swear. I'm glad the money was given to Shelter, but I do not think an aggressive song full of swear words, that is full of hate, should be number one at Christmas, a time of peace and love. I find it very offensive.

neither did I but plenty of people obviously did.

I didn't make a purchase either, takes a lot more than that to move me to part with my hard earned cash

I think you've just described exactly why I like it! To each his own and that.

 

It brings back many a fond memory for me of the sweaty basement of the Casbah trying very hard not to look like I was cowering in the corner when the inevitable fight kicked off!
