to think the "hero's" song sang by a load of wannabe xafactors is crap

[2shoes]

well am I
(although crap or not I hope it raises money)

link? no idea what it sounds like, but i gotta tell ya, from the clues given so far, it doesnt sound likely to be any good

only heard it once, well a bit of it, and yaNbu

is is very average

< damned with faint praise >

I quite like it actually.
YANBU because you are entitled to your opinion

Not really the point, it will raise lots of money for an important charity.

vjg - that point was acknowledged in the 2 line op, difficult to miss it

I would gladly donate money to whatever charity requested to ensure that I never hear that pile of crap again.

what TCF said, with bells on!

You can think what you like but I am pleased they have done it. FABULOUS cause.

I just meant that people buy charity singles to give to the charity not because they are the best thing that they have ever listened to.

song

I think it's very appropriate actually. The charity is help for heroes so what better song than "hero".

If you think about the various charity singles that have been released over the years, the majority weren't exactly catchy tunes that everyone wanted to sing - most of them are emotional songs which aren't to everyone's taste, but people buy them because it's a way to support a cause and have something to show for it.

Diana is not signing tonight in x-factor as she has laryngititis.

Cause is good, song is so so.

What TheCrackFox said.

IMO it would never have reached no. 1 if it wasn't a)for charity and b)hyped up by that x-factor shite.

the cause is brilliant
the song is good
the singers are..............

Sorry, thats what I meant. 2shoes summed it up beautifully.

tbh I wouldn't buy a single by the majority of them.

This is one thing that xfactor has done that is good, considering all the people they exploit to get to the 12 finalists I think it's about time they did something positive.

To be quite honest, Hero makes me wanna puke. I'm tired of all this commercial crap year after year. Liked Alexander though.

Of course I hope it will make loads of dosh for charity. Just wish they would come up with something a bit more origional.

lol can you get 'wannabe xfactors' lol what a state tv is in

I've always hated Mariah and she's singing....again

It doesn't matter whether it is shite or not. Any single with the X Factor names on it will do very well, and the cause is a fantastic one. It makes me sick that we need a Help for Heroes charity, but we do really, really need it, so hoorah for Simon Cowell for exploiting giving this year's contestants the chance to release a single for this amazing charity.

I don't think you should really care who sings it, the cause is a great one and if its going to raise money for that cause then it shouldn't matter. The Sun asked Xfactor to do it because it'll sell and thats the whole point.

i dont like song but its for a good cause.

Absolutely dreadful song, but I think it's the law that charity singles stink. Can't think of one that's even halfway tuneful. Even cover versions.

It is dull.
