Music Monday – "But now you do what they told ya"

I've mentioned the annual battle to top the UK pop charts during Christmas week before but this year's contest was especially intriguing.  The main contender was a song by this year's winner of “X-Factor”, a UK reality singing show similar to American Idol (actually, it's a copycat show created by Simon Cowell so he'd have […]
