As has become the norm over the last few years, the X Factor finalists have recorded a song with the monies from sales going to charity. 2011 was no different with them recording a cover of the 1978 hit, Wishing On A Star by Rose Royce.
Considering that you have 11 acts to split the song amongst (13 if you include JLS and One Direction who appear at the end), you can’t help feel that the song lends itself more to ‘showcasing’ the individual acts rather than the groups. And why include JLS and One Direction?? The mind boggles…
Alright so it’s a charity single, so maybe to should criticise it too much. Overall, it is a good interpretation of the song and it benefiting a charity (this time around it was Together For Short Lives). Not exactly going to break the bank to purchase it.
Rating: 3/5
