Geraldine McQueen: 'Once Upon A Christmas Song'
Released on Monday, Dec 15 2008
Published Thursday, Dec 11 2008, 09:36 GMT | By Nick Levine | 25 comments

'Once Upon A Christmas Song', another Gary Barlow co-write, is an affectionate send-up of the festive favourites we sing "over and over and over again" every December. It's catchy enough to get Melvin from accounts shaking his rump at the office Christmas party, silly enough to raise a few titters and there are enough sleigh bells here to make Rudolf think it's time for a trot round the Lapland tundra. The joke hasn't worn thin yet, but Peter Kay should probably pack away his Michelle McManus wig on Boxing Day.

it was ok the first time for a 1 off but now its just got silly. i'll definatly be buying alex's song. its so much better. when the winners song beat leon jackson i thought it was such a shame coz leon really needed that number 1 to secure his career.

Aww come on, it's a bit of fun. Not everything has to be serious. I personally love it, it's catchy and amusing. Great song ;)

A silly song? It has been going 'over an over again' in my mind since hearing it for the first time. Makes me happy - Yes! We need more Christmas cheer, even though the songand lyrics are simple and a little naff

Even though the song isnt the best christmas song there's been, it's all in the name of charity. And that's the reason I feel this should gain the No.1 spot at Xmas... that and to once again knock Simon's smile off his smug face!

This song is excellent - one in the eye for that X Factor Rubbish... it is obvious that Simon doesnt like any of the acts this year and he should not deserve the number one spot - GERALDINE FOR NUMBER 1 - MONEY TO THE NSPCC!

I think Britains Got The Pop Factor has to have been one of the best things I have watched in ages! This song is very cheesey and compared to the X Factor track it stands a better chance of being played in all the xmas parties this year! I do hope it does well in the Chart this week and can get close or even at number one!

ok so peter kaye has not got a great singing voice but what he has got is a christmas spirit, something simon (think im god)cowell seems to have lost the christmas cheer. hiow hard would it be for a xfactor winner to sing a CHRISTMAS song. dont ask too much do we?

I think we need to review the reviews and not the songs. How on earth can you give Leona Lewis' Run 3 stars and Peter Kay (Who can''t even sing) the same? This is utterly pathetic!

10/10 purely for comedy value. Also I can't possibly slate anything by Geraldine after she held that talentless, dull as dishwater Leon off No.1
