บทสัมภาษณ์น้องโจ

Thanks to some nifty Facebook campaigning and a sweary ditty from Rage Against The Machine, it's turned out that triumphing over Olly Murs in last Sunday's X Factor final wasn't Joe McElderry's toughest battle of 2009. The Geordie singer's debut single 'The Climb' is in one of the fiercest ever Christmas number one clashes with the US metallers' 1992 anthem 'Killing In The Name'. We phoned McElderry to congratulate him on his success and find out whether he is ready to duke it out with RATM.
It has been a busy old week for you, Joe. How are you holding up?
"Yeah, I'm alright. It hasn't been too bad. I got to go back up North yesterday to visit South Shields, so that was brilliant to see everyone. I've just been running on adrenaline."
Has it started to sink in yet that you are the X Factor champion 2009?
"Not really. It still feels strange, actually. I'm just trying to get my head around it."
You've already had the press asking questions about your sexuality and your opinions on Katie Price. Do you find it strange that the media want to probe your private life?
"You've just got to deal with it and take it all with a pinch of salt, haven't you? We've been getting questions from the press since the start of the series, so we've all learnt how to deal with it. It just happens, doesn't it? That's what they do with people on reality shows. They probe the contestants. You just have to deal with it and go along with it, I suppose."
Your grandma Hilda became a cult figure as the series went on. Is she coping with her slice of fame?
"Everyone loved her, didn't they?! It was really nice to see her support us and I really appreciated the fact that the show got her involved. It was really strange how everyone was talking about her, though. She's turned into a bit of nation's sweetheart, hasn't she?!"
You are in a serious battle for the Christmas number one. Are you up for a good scrap?
"It is kind of out of my hands now. I would be really disappointed if I didn't get to number one. But whatever happens will happen. I just hope people get behind me and buy the single. There is nothing more that I can do other than promote the single and that is what I'm doing."
How would you feel on Sunday if it ended up at number two?
"Obviously I would love to have the Christmas number one, but I'm just really lucky to have a single out and that's what makes me happy. If it ends up that we finish at number two, I would just have to look at it positively."
Is the RATM campaign frustrating for you, because it is not really about you?
It is aimed at Simon Cowell and the show, but you are caught in the middle.
"You are right. When I think about it, the campaign is not about me. It is about The X Factor itself. If they were having a dig at me that would be upsetting, but I don't think that's what they are doing. You know what, people are entitled to their opinion. If they don't like the show, then of course they can express that - but it is out of my hands and I can't do anything about that."
What would you say to people who take digs at The X Factor and believe it is bad for the music industry?
"Well, I disagree with that. I think there's some excellent artists that have come out of X Factor and these kinds of shows. People like Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke and JLS have gone on to make great records. There is nowhere else like it for artists to have that sort of platform, where people from any background can enter and win a record contract."
Do you think Simon will be tempted to release a Christmas song next year?
"I'm not sure. That could possibly be an idea for next year. But that won't be for me to decide, that will be up to Simon. He might think about that though, I suppose."
What did you think to Rachel Adedeji's celebrations on the final night? Did that upset you?
"No, that's Rachel and she didn't mean anything bad about it. I know she's been getting a bit of flack for it, but she was just expressing herself and she was really excited and I'm happy for her to do that. I thought it was brilliant."
You got to sing with George Michael last weekend. What was he like backstage?
"That was absolutely amazing. It is one of those moments that I will never forget. To get to perform on stage with a legend is something that I will never forget. I spoke to him beforehand and he was wishing us well and said that he'd been watching us on the show. He was full of compliments about my singing and was really congratulating us."
When it comes to making the album, what sort of music do you want to be producing?
"I like pretty much all chart music. So I'd like my album to have ballads and uptempo stuff. Ideally it would be a mix of both. I didn't really get the opportunity to show on The X Factor that I could do uptempo songs, so it will be nice to do that."
น้องโจ นอกจากน่ารัก...ร้องเพลงเพราะแล้ว ยังฉลาดในการตอบคำถามมาก ปลื้มค่ะ 
จากแคมเปนจ์ RATM แปลกใจนิดหน่อยที่หลายคนที่นั่นให้ความสำคัญมาก บ้านเราคนส่วนใหญ่ก็ไม่ได้สนใจอันดับเพลงอะไรมากมาย
แต่สิ่งที่น่าเศร้าคือ มีหลายคนใช้วิธีการที่น่ารังเกียจ เข้าไปก่อกวนในเวบไซต์แฟนคลับ บิดเบือนข้อมูล ให้ร้ายน้องโจ ตอนนี้มีการไปรณรงค์ให้ชาวเพลงร๊อคมาช่วยแคนเปนจ์นี้อีก  ล่าสุดวงนี้ไปออกรายการวิทยุ ก็โดนสั่งระงับการออกอากาศสด เพราะดันไปสบถคำหยาบสดๆ พิธีกรไม่พอใจมากเพราะทีมงานขอวงนี้ก่อนโชว์แล้ว และก็รับปาก พอเล่นสดก็หลุดออกมา หลังจากนั้นพิธีกรชักชวนให้ผู้ชมไปซื้อเพลงน้องโจ
