James Arthur.......X Factor

[Paul22118]

I do not have a favourite to win but do have a favourite to lose. I do not enjoy James Arthur, I don't get him but he keeps on getting through.
Where am I wrong? Is he a brilliant performer when heard live? Has he a magnetic persnality? What am I not getting?

[beattie819]

I feel the same, I dont know why it is. Dont think his personality is magnetic, its more on the shifty side. Im not keen on any of them to be honest, but Union J are the only contestants that dont give me the creeps!

[pusskin]

I feel the same paul. Not my cuppa tea really, but is very popular.
He never seems to be thrilled with his own performances does he?
Always seems to have a sulky face.

[Prudie]

He has his own style, he's got charisma and although not really good looking his wounded animal persona makes him attractive to (some) females, me included. His 'Get it On' the other week was sexy as hell.

[Mick-Talbot]

He's done some good covers the way covers should be done.

[patsyann]

Oh I thought it was only me.His way of singing a painful dirge. Total mystery why he is called wonderful by so many people. However last nights final song gave me a glimmer of hope it sounded much better.

[NoMercy]

He's quite edgy without trying to be.

[dotty.]

surely there are enough of the sad bloke singers already, it's like going back a decade and even further with that scouse redcoat, union j seem the only decent act really, they'll sell anything they record and don't forget the big market is download and who's gonna download chris mamoaney singing a 40 year old bond theme?

[pizza]

Wasn't my kind of guy with the droning on and the waving arms stuff but last night I enjoyed him even played it back and listened again.
Union J bottom 2 twice ( I think) last night great to listen and watch.
Christopher at first liked him a lot but now too samey and Jahmane bad choice to repeat last night.
Final will be Union J and James Arthur I think, but in my opinion Ella should still be there!

[Georgiesmum]

Thank goodness! I thought it was only me that didnt get James Arthur. I just wish he would smile for once also stop rocking from side to side all the time.
I really hope Jahmene will win. Ive liked him from the beginning.

[ummmm]

I think he's great.

[Sammy48]

I think he is rubbish, but because the standard is low this year, he sounds brilliant.

[shoota]

I think his original stuff is good - I think he falls down on some of the covers he is required to sing for the program. Overall I think he is one of the strongest left.

[sir.prize]

Terrible final line-up. I bet Simple Simon Cowell would rather have Ella in the final.

[silliemillie]

He's a miserable so & so I think. Dont get why women go for the mean & moody type, give me an upbeat guy any day.

[wendilla]

Sammy58 should be given the best answer. I agree none of them can sing .

[phleb]

He is boring, Rylan was my favorite, and now i don't have a favorite to be honest.

[mrsmaveric]

just looking at that james arthur makes me feel like slitting my wrists..he has got all the charsima of an undertakers convention...very poor programme this year...

[sir.prize]

Deary, deary me. What a shambles the final will be.

[Prudie]

Who the hell is voting for Christopehr Baloney?

[Mick-Talbot]

Yeah a shambles 'Simple Simon' will be crying into his millions
