Rage v Mcelderry

Another shot in the arm for those with faith that the suppressed spirit lives on. What are the Brits doing on the blogs now of course? Shooting ourselves in the foot by examining the company structures and making lofty declarations that Sony are actually the company behind both artists so aren't we all stupid? That's not the point. The lyrics are the point, and the fact that the RATM genre stands in polar opposition to that used by X factor and its inevitable predictable bland lifeless ballads. The fact is that most of the people who are supporting RATM saw the viral campaign on Facebook, smiled, thought the idea quite timely and clever, bought the song, then logged out and went about their lives. Lets not get too deep here, everything resides in the simple statement "F*** you I won't do what you tell me".
