Stop the use of Rock songs on the X Factor..
Well I am currently thinking about sorting out a new campaign against the X-Factor using Rock music and against allowing auditionee’s from singing Rock songs on the show. The recent RATM campaign just shows that not only are people fed-up with the current music industry, they also see past the fact that music is presented from short term sales – personally I think they should change the charts from single sales to ‘Ticket Sales’…
The main thing I personally hate about the whole show is; it is supposed to be a POP show where someone is manufactured and used for short term sales with 80% of their profit taken. The whole point of Rock music is longevity and musicianship. Recently people who watch the X Factor went against what they were beforehand for – in the sense that as soon as a Rock band was up against the show suddenly Rock music and musicians were ‘stupid’ to X Factor fans… but they seem to ignore the fact that 1) Rock Music is the biggest selling Genre in the WORLD 2) Every other auditionee sings a Rock song. If people that watch the X Factor are so against Rock music – WHY do auditionees sing Rock songs?… They sing them because Rock songs never die – why do you think that is?.. Because people like ‘me’ who go out and buy tickets to see these bands, also it brings it back to Rock music having the biggest following anyway.
When the campaign is going I plan to contact as many Rock publishers and producers as possible to make a Legal stance against the X Factor from using Rock music on the show. If they want to go against what created the Music Industry in the first place then they should ONLY allow POP Songs to be auditioned.. Simple as that!
