"X Factor judges to record Children in Need charity song" is the headline about Gary Barlow re-cruiting modern urban stores to record this year's charity record.
Now, don't let it seem like I begrudge a charity record but there's always something cynical about the X-Factor charity tracks as if, like the show itself, is nothing more than a way to boost the shows viewership. It would also be worthwhile if, with all this talent onboard in the shape of some big names, they actually recorded a new track rather than cover something, in this case Massive Attack's 'Teardrop' track.
I suppose it's another inevitable number one but I hope at least one day for something original. But it should be quite a sight to see Gary Barlow teaming up with the urban superstars of today. Please say the b-side will be him joining in on Wiley's 'Take That'.

A credible X-Factor track? Sounds like a load of old grime to me
