I have posted on my blog about the xFactor before, I don't mind saying I watch the show, and for the most part, enjoy the light entertainment it provides. And this year is no exception, I have enjoyed it, At first I liked Janet, had a liking for Misha B until they stopped her singing her way and now I want Little Mix to win. But equally I won't be texting or calling to vote, and I seriously doubt I would buy an album from them or the winner of the show, not my kind of music at all. 
But the Christmas number 1 issue is different. Just about every year it is the winners song that claims that prize and I say, fair enough. If people want it then they have that choice, and good luck to them. But this year, thanks to an amazing man, Mr. Gareth Malone, the honour of that title must be someone else. This is a moment I wish I had millions of followers on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and with this blog so I could really promote the Military Wives Choir. They must be Number 1 this year. 
But the likes of Simon Cowell, the XFactor, Strictly Come Dancing do have the millions of followers and they can, must, be the ones promoting this single. Mr Cowell, do the right thing. Over the years these shows have shown support for the troops, they wear thier poppies with pride. But this is real help and this time they need real support.
This is a beautiful song, it has meaning and is sung with meaning and real feeling, everything an xFactor judge demands. It just must be this years Christmas Number 1. Below is the official video, enjoy.............
