Simon Cowell Horror For Xmas

12/14/2010
. (Rock AAA) X-Factor fans (or Simon Cowell) have chosen their (his) favourite singer for the karaoke gameshow's traditional assault on the UK Christmas Number One slot.

His name is Matt Cardle and the track is his version of Biffy Clyro song Many of Horror � only it's been renamed When We Collide. Meanwhile, Cowell, who ordered the name change, has taken the credit for people being interested in music, and is now planning to launch his own version of classic TV show Top of the Pops.

And Biffy's Simon Neil has sought to distance himself from the gameshow. He tells Kerrang: "I think when you look at the classic songs they've used in the past, like Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah for example, it hasn't really affected my take on the song. I still think the Jeff Buckley version is the best."
