Agreed, as soon as I heard it I thought here we go again, yet another typical 'Winner's Song' complete with key change and all the usual cliches. Is Simon Cowell really so unimaginative as to be unable to pick anything other than the exact same formula that he has used for the last 10 years?
Unfortunately this Rage Against the Machine protest, by supporting another Sony BMG act seems to be a total own goal. Shame they couldn't have found a great independent record to support.

Having been bombarded with headlines about it today I gave in to curiosity and watched the X Factor song on Youtube. I agree it is awful. Take away the X Factor name and it would be ignored completely. On the video his voice was all over the place as well, but maybe that was emotion after his win.

As an early Steve Perry/Journey fan... no comment.

Should have been "Don't stop believing" the Journey classic which Joe did earlier in the series.

I think the clime is a beautiful track when sung the right way, Miley Cyrus did a great job with that song
