I agree. Doesn't make his version any better to my ears though, it just sounds softly and quietly done to me.

In the absence of proper Christmas songs to fall in love with, people will buy what they're told to buy. Rightly or wrongly, Cowell is an expert at telling people what we should be buying.

The Wombats released a cracker last year (although Scott Mills would have you believe it was this year). Other than that, not really, only The Darkness released one and I hate them so much that it's the only Xmas chart I ever stayed and listened to hoping they came 2nd behind Mad World by Gary Jules and they did \o/.
