Well an X Factor winner is number 1 in the charts, so that must mean it's coming up to Christmas again. Apparently, the bookies stopped taking bets on Alexandra Burke being the Christmas number 1 several days ago after it became obvious that it was going to happen. The bookies should've stopped taking bets on it being number 1 about 3 months before X Factor even started. The bookies were fooled into thinking that they needed to actually listen to the song first before deciding - the silly billies.
Alexandra Burke has stated that she doesn't even like the 'Hallelujah' song she was forced by either knifepoint, gunpoint or cashpoint to record. I think you should start getting used to having no control as to what songs you sing - sometimes you have to do things you don't like doing in order to further a career. I'm talking about Simon Cowell's career obviously and if you're lucky, he might throw you a few bob as well. Christmas is a time for giving and receiving. You give money by calling to vote for your favourite contestant and then by buying the Christmas single and Simon receives the proceeds. Don't worry about not liking "your" choice of song for Christmas Alexandra, it doesn't really matter what song you sing. You could shit down a microphone and it will still get to number 1. Burke by name....
Due to the credit crunch, everybody is having to cut back a bit on spending over Christmas and not go so credit card mentallous. But obviously you can't cut back over Christmas as it's not right, so like everyone else it's gonna have to wait until the new year. Though after that there's always a few birthdays so I would put off cutting back until the summer, but of course then there's holidays to pay for. I dunno eh. After that I've got a few other birthdays, nights out, other expensive shit I fancy splashing out on for no real reason and next year's X Factor winner's single to buy, which I've heard will be the sound of someone shitting down a microphone. Sounds cool. Ah well, I'll have to start cutting back next Christmas then instead I suppose.
