James Arthur - Impossible (Unplugged)

James Arthur spielt seine Single "Impossible" unplugged in der Radio Hamburg Live-Lounge.

[@wesleysuperman]

This dude is insane. he sings a few different versions of the same songs, and each one is totally amazing. often better than the original artist's version.

[@jortepap]

soo true. James is incredible

[@Laura-lv1ke]

Shontelle's version was extremely successful long before James covered it. Don't get me wrong i love James Arthur, but he by no eans made it famous he simply sued the song to propel his career post x-factor

[@stephensam4985]

exactly, its not his song but almost in every you tube video his name is there, but the credits should go to shontelle!!!!

[@Retrofox1]

Laura well i never heard of it till james sang it

[@Tom-cq5rn]

Jodi Holt not many people have because the original is pony

[@JROCTIONARY]

His voice control and range are insane. So underrated

[@faithcarponelli]

So funny, how so many people think James is ugly. If only more people could open their eyes to real beauty. This guy has a characteristic face which you don't forget after two seconds, like all those mainstream guys from America with more make up on, than me as a woman. He's really special + that incredible voice of his which gives me goosebumps over and over again...there's no reason why a normal thinking woman shouldn't fall in love with this guy instantly. Thumbs up for James

[@MrYikchan]

i don't think he is ugly at all...and look at his tattoo, it's freakin awesome

[@faithcarponelli]

Haha ya totally. I could spend so much time just hearing/watching him sing. And yes...the tattoos are just incredible. Just bought his cd and I can't stop listening to it. Stuck on replay

[@wudgeroo]

Exactly i couldnt have said that better!!!:)

[@carmel86]

well said .... he is a very good looking lad with amazing talent never get fed up of listerning to his music ... loved him on the x factor mainly for his voice but the beauty he has is he is amazing at portraying a song with great emotion which a lot of singers cant do and he is a normal person not your typical popstar ....... gotta love james arthur :) so people should embrace his music and stop going on about his look

[@alfan5090]

Faith Carponelli you're trying to insult people who don't like him.. it's their opinion.. you can't argue with that.

[@Hohlfrucht83]

dieser typ ist der absolute knaller.... so viel gefühl, wie er singt ... ich find echt kaum worte ... amazing

[@agra6408]

James is the best. Why can the music industrie not see his incredible talent!? Amazing voice!

[@Jumanji0028]

they can but he tweets a lot of stupid shit which in turn reflects badly on a record label making it a risk to sign him.

[@agra6408]

+Jumanji0028 yeah probably...quite sad tbh...such a gifted voice and it doesn't get the attention it should

[@Jumanji0028]

***** gay propaganda? what the fuck is that? he says stupid shit which will cost record labels money. ya know, the opposite of what a label wants to do. if he self published there would be no problems if he said anything.

[@graememasson2378]

yes, like most young famous people say silly shit, they seem to get away with it, I'll ignore that - great voice

[@dankymemerson237]

Agra All y'all wrong they won't sign him because his voice took they main chick, and they side chick, and they option C. Now they fuckin with Palmela Handerson and her less talented twin sister Bertha.

[@Dan-op8fc]

I'd say the beginning was more James in his perfectly peaceful yet intense singing state...later his voice muscles weakened a bit for various reasons (the song's slower than usual, can't be belting it throughout even though on X Factor he was singing on a high range for longer periods; other reasons may be some inner energy misalignment, distracting thoughts, causing prior strain on the voice......if this makes sense). Still, this guy can't fault my perception - absolutely stunning, an inspiration beyond his musical expression - he comes across as a deep spiritually maturing consciousness, I can see it through being not as musically talented, but spiritually aware.

[@Mamaof5ladies]

That feeling!

[@xFuQkinFlyChicx]

I love James Arthur!!! His voice is beautiful and I love his interpretation of the songs he chooses to sing!!! Amazing and he is a very handsome guy!!!

[@alutka11235]

in my opinion he's attractive, not handsome. However, his voice is amazing :)

on a hilarious note. His keyboardist looks like an ex bf of mine LOL. You can tell he just wants to throw down some beats on that bad boy but isnt allowed HAHAHAHA

[@CalsGamingCollection]

Easily the most underrated and undervalued artist today. Incredible.

[@ranncarlos]

What I love about James Arthur is that he puts everything on the table when he's singing... I know that he probably sang this song many times already but he still gave his best and even made it better.

[@MaY3B0i]

I can't go one time without crying and watching this. This hits home for me. If my last relationship could be summed up into a song this would be it. Thank you James Arthur for such an amazing voice to make a great cover. God bless you.

[@XWoodbineX]

I loved this song the first time round when Shontelle did it, but when he did it on xfactor I literally burst into tears. It was like everything I'd been feeling the past 4 years I've had depression just came out :/

[@vitivic_]

In this version there is only a guitar, piano and bis voice, a beautiful mix.

[@danielstachecki8923]

In my opinion James Arthur is impossible... his voice, oh..... beauty. We- Polish fans- love you, James!

[@1995Foreva]

I like how he gets so connected to the music but doesn't lose himself in it.. Now that's an artist 😘

[@peterreimerMannaufderBank]

What a development from the final version at Xfactor to this wonderful, really thrilling mesmerizing version - a bit slower, a lower key, more room for phrasing and James Arthurs kaleidoscope of emotions. His performances touch me deep inside - everytime. Thanks a lot !!!!!

[@tanisan]

Literally who cares what he looks like with a voice like that. If you're not pleased enough with his looks just close your eyes because his voice is fucking magical.

[@juliaw2257]

[@farimasultani6138]

This version that he sang compared to when he sang it on the X factor is completely different!!! In this version it sounds like his soul is singing it... I don't if it will make any sense to you guys but it felt like to me not his voice but his soul was singing it... FANTASTIC!!!

It brings tears to my eyes, I can feel the pain of a broken heart through his voice. James is here to stay that's for sure.

[@MissEmsiee]

Amazing, even better live! He was my favourite on x factor and still now! I noticed how he was singing quite slow, and that's because he's able to hear himself too loudly through his headphones. Yet he carries on, pulls it off and nails it. Someone with no talent would cry about it.

[@Smmmile]

Very unique in his voice and talent. Loved this song way before he covered it and by god, I love it even more since his version. Thank you James.

[@sarasutherland8370]

does anyone else get chills whenever he sings?

[@biltemamiesruless]

it must be really hard for the pianist and guitarist to play along as he makes sudden variations to the melody, I can hear how they are trying to adjust at moments

[@7win70w3r]

+Juhana Kaarlehto they should have played along.. at least hold up the melody.. since when the band is changing melody when singer starts to alternate his voice??

[@jakoblohmann846]

Yea noticec that too

[@Dan-op8fc]

I think they're mainly adjusting to rhythm; James changes the melody within key, in harmony with the instruments playing as is....he's an improvisation artist - a master like I've never seen, natural, sings deep from his soul, yet he must've had countless hours of focus, dedication, practice......I'm not fooled, this didn't come just like this; quite likely a lot of pain was transmuted to reach this level (you could say James on some egoic level wanted to express himself so outwardly emotionally, to connect with his emotion during performances; who knows, maybe throughout life too; we can only scratch what we're perceiving with words ; anyway, this play of consciousness, this character being played out, this expression served many, it inspired - but deep down we're deeper than that, and all of us are that same one 'thing' - the only that exists - everything - all that is). It's all God's work. Ego likes repetition, for fear any variation will be disliked. If you're free, you do whatever inspires you in the moment and it flows beautifully like that. With James, I feel he's totally in the now, mixing everything effortlessly, trusting his voice, his expression, trusting nature.... It feels he's letting it come out just by itself. That sort of state of Being is enlightenment.

[@StangSeeDD]

Yeah dude

[@MsUltimateSky]

No it’s not hard. They just keep playing the same chords sane phrase and James will make the variations and back to the right melody then
