and if Cowell used this fact to do some decent music

He has no talent for music whatsoever so why should he have so much power over what every one buys. Don't for one second think that the majority of buyers like the song for any orther reason than it's the X factor winners song.

I wonder how well it would have domne if Joe released it 6 months ago wiuth the same marketing budget as any other new artist.
