Ulysses Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I have to admit I got a little something in my eye while listening to this. Well done the NHS Choir - and fair play to Justin Bieber for calling on people to "do the right thing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Sentimental claptrap. Should never be number one and has no place in the charts. Will hopefully drop like a stone now they have made their money, and they can leave the proper musicians to get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiewave Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Many NHS staff do a great job and many a life-saving or life-changing job. But why aren't teachers or police or the fire brigade fetishised like they are? I cannot be bothered with "discount for NHS staff" nonsense.

To be fair mate, I'd rather folk supported the NHS, Fire service, Police, Teachers etc etc etc than brought down any of them, or each other. They are all worse off this year, and will be worse off next year, no point fighting against each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 nice to see the 'X Factor' is even more irrelevant now that no-one picked up its first time since 2004 or something its single hasn't been the Christmas Number 1. Surely something to celebrate a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Doesn't fit the Tory agenda. Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk pretty much the exact opposite. Trying to play on the public to raise money when that should be covered by government. This is the sort of thing that shouldn't have to be required to be covered by public donation when proper allocation of budgets would allow the charts to represent the best in music. If goverment see this working, then next year we will see reduction in central support for this type of public service, because, they will assume that public will chip in and goverment won't have to.

Choir is raising funds for charity not NHS services that people can do things maybe a bit different is good if you believe charity should be banned and state should control everything then fair enough the 'music purity' thing is flawed however might have been helped by the tv works choirs show but loads of musicians get help like all walks of life maybe you just don't like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdust Caesar Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Many NHS staff do a great job and many a life-saving or life-changing job. But why aren't teachers or police or the fire brigade fetishised like they are? It's possibly because people will have a lot more contact with the NHS, outwith their school years, than those other professions. I've spent more time in the company of NHS staff while they are doing their jobs than I have with the police or the fire brigade etc. and I would imagine that will be the same for most of the population, so maybe because the good work the NHS does has more of a direct impact on more peoples lives than the other professions that's why they are feted more.

I see, so when they do the chart on a Sunday night on the radio and say you can still change the positions until 6pm is that a different chart?

Regal Kingston Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 The charts used to always be quite interesting. An irrelevance now. It would be good if next year the Christmas number one was not x-factor or a novelty act Suppose its good that a charity has made a few quid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
