James Arthur - Hurts (Emeli Sandé cover) in the Live Lounge

[@pavlinaxo]

THE ONLY MAN ALIVE THAT COULD DO JUSTICE TO THIS SONG. THAT WAS BREATHTAKING. OH MY FUCKING GOD

[@scottphillips4910]

Well said

[@enyadoyle2144]

I totally agree missed him a Lot he's grown a lot since his XFactor and impossible days I'm so proud

[@serilillibet8629]

I can't stop listening ! James at his best singing deep from his heart and soul. So fucking real he ignites my soul.

[@KathleenMcVarish]

Sara E King :) Yeah right? Since I first heard it... EVERY DAY! And some days 2 or even 3 times! The CHILLS! I finally, after almost 5 years of dreaming about it, had the EXTREME pleasure of flying from here in the States to Manchester New England to hear him live and..... Long Live the King~! :)... That last part... Well, there simply are NO words!.... :)

Facts

[@lbot6366]

Others sing with their mouths, Arthur sings with his heart.

[@uiokia421]

But they both use their vocal cords

[@sofiaanderson1175]

So true, I'd love to meet this guy

[@katereed8428]

That is funny but oh so true

[@strongbraveloud]

I dont really know what this guy has gone through but he sings with such pain and grit and emotion.

[@youtubebram4393]

David Dodero 😢😢😮 emotional voice

[@walllster]

A bloody lot, check his audition for X-Factor, talks about his background and family. He's been homeless before so he's had a somewhat tough upbringing, hence the emotion I think. He's amazing.

[@HIQ45]

David Dodero so does emeli sande

[@FadeSyndicate]

it is called singing with full of passion.

[@elizabethmead3750]

Ayed Zarith

[@georgiamurphy8911]

I love him because he makes every cover sound like his own song and that's pretty damn hard

[@andrecardoso1568]

he also makes them better which is pretty insane.

[@walterbruns352]

Omg..... you are soo amazing J.A. ...your passion and devotion to each word is exquisite Thank you ♡

[@rahmatmaulanam2627]

Yah

[@XWoodbineX]

Exactly. And usually they’re better than the original

[@Twin_Dragon_Fists]

@@XWoodbineX not this time though...he sounds nice though

[@aliciamnt8421]

real pain in his voice; the only artist who can give us so much emotion. Proud.

[@roybrolsbeak]

finally someone who says something about the actual performance . i agree btw its amazing

[@danijelamajic4231]

Pure true.....

[@alexanderthompson683]

This is good, will never beat the original though, Emeli Sande has the greatest voice ever

[@lakelegibson7919]

@@alexanderthompson683 definitely beats it lmao like what

[@SarahMcAsey93]

You can tell when someone carry pain in their songs and when they don't.

[@dernteck7440]

I remember watching him on X-Factor after he sang I Cant Make You Love Me in front of Neyo and Nicole Scherzinger. Right after he finished and left the room the first thing Neyo said was "He sings like he doesn't have a choice". 4/5 years later and I still cant think of a better way to describe him and I don't think I ever will. Guys a rare talent

[@jamesarthurelite2321]

SPOT ON!

[@blakedenman2446]

Hes the best singer in the world, he can make any song sound like he's the one who wrote it. 💯

[@ankitchandola3511]

I couldn't make you love me 😔😔 man that's what I m going through, and I heard that song around 400-500 times . Real pain

[@XWoodbineX]

I remember Neyo saying that too. There really isn’t anyone else like James. Every song he does whether his own or someone else’s is a rollercoaster of emotion. He’s incredible live too

[@JellieCarpio-ut4qp]

❤😂❤ world peace don't worryeye be happyeye yeye chef jelliegant yeyeman I love James Arthur always and forever yes amen thank you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@TSewell67]

This performance is outstanding. James can cover any song and make it better than the original and the original to this song was already brilliant! James Arthur is on another level in vocal emotion to anyone alive today!! Tx❤️

The amount of feeling in this song is scary. He puts every single one of his own struggles into every song he does, even covers, and it creates this crazy feeling that literally everybody can connect with. James Arthur take a bow!

[@serilillibet8629]

My obsession with this man is getting out of hand. He is too good for this world. My God his voice is indescribable.

[@musicinspired4797]

I still get that after 6yrs. Wake, listen, think and watch, and again the next day. He's like an addition to the heart & soul.

[@ThisIsLyric]

Oh… my… God! I haven't heard a voice like this in a while!

[@natewulf8222]

I’m now regretting every time that I skipped over this video. James Arthur is simply a king. It’s in his name itself. Raw vocals, man...I love how he changes into a different person when he sings. At the end of some phrases, he leans away from the mic and his facial expressions just completely change.. or as if it took his entire energy to produce a sort of atmosphere of sadness. I love this guy.

[@musicinspired4797]

I love your comment. Beautifully written.

[@dannyblau3850]

So glad to see that he has bounced back from the public mishaps as well as just getting his life in a better place in general. Sounds better than ever and the new record is killer.

[@Porldweace]

Put all the past in this. pure passion for what he does what a guy

[@Suuuseliii]

Dan's piano skills and the voice of james.. just perfection ❤

[@aardvarkmindshank]

Utterly ridiculous. Speechless. Flying all the way from Singapore to the UK to see him play live in March. Can't wait!

[@rikjones5136]

Every song james sings takes you on a journey to the pits of your soul where everything has been locked away and this song is no different. The pain in his voice is undeniable and resonates to so many people. So so talented and by far my favourite male singer. Man my heart moves every time 👏👏

[@tricksta2140]

i can say i know what this dude has gone through.. iv been through it all and i relate to him so much .. he is an inspiration .. Again the best soulful singer to ever come from the UK period !!! .. and i am so happy and proud to be British .. And so happy for james .. he has totally turned his life around .. And he deserves Some bloody awards !!!!
