Is it really, really sad that I have found myself to be genuinely gutted that poor Joe McElderry was beaten to Christmas Number 1 by Rage Against The Machine? Thought so...
It does, of course, say a lot about the impressive power of internet campaigns. I just wish that that boring bloke from Rage would stop going on about how 'sterile' the pop music industry is.
All the "we have manipulated the charts" and "Rage did it" Facebook statuses are completely overlooking the fact that Rage would never have had a number one were it not for the X Factor any more than Joe would have done.
So, well done, RATM!
(Bitter, much?)

Im gonna say it. Joe not winning number one is the biggest traversty since they let that criminal out of prison to be the king of africa or whatever. (guess who I am? I don't think I would survive if I twittered it...)
