[@danijelamajic4231]

I am in total agreement about the ridiculous "selfie with a celebrity" goal of life. I have a friend who I used to go to lots of shows with and he would always drag me to these meet and greets so he could get pictures to put on his facebook page. And I would be so embarrassed, like actually feel bad because when you think about how many selfies these people are being asked to take in a day, it's sad. And a lot of people don't even talk to them- they just want their pic and move on. So, I would always try to learn something obscure about the artist so that I could have something to either say or ask them about. You would not believe how shocked they look when you talk to them like a real person- they are so used to getting treated like an object. They would always tell me, "Wow, no one has every asked me about that" or "No one every realizes I worked on that project." So, my advice if you ever meet a celeb that you admire is to just thank them for all their hard work (touring is very, very difficult in many ways), let them know they are appreciated, and maybe skip the selfie- just savor the moment for yourself, in your own memory.

[@rexhinaelezi4955]

Omg that's so true what you said. Luckly there are people like you. I also never ask celebrities for photos i prefer to just talk with them and have It in my Memory

[@fruityxoxo1991]

When i met James, I was the only one in the cold for him. i told him I took transit for nearly two hours to meet him, and i told him how much i have been supporting him for the past 4-5 years and so happy to see him in Toronto. He was so humbled by it, and then i was like James may i please hug you, i was so cold and nervous. He gave me a hug, literally the nicest guy in the music industry. i hope he stays humble. I wish i could have talked to him longer or said something more. But i was so nervous and i thought i wouldn't meet him :( Hopefully when he comes back to Toronto I get to have a proper conversation with him.

[@Ashley-xz6ir]

Yeah you should see how BTS is treated anytime they are near anyone they stick their phones right in their faces. I think damn don't you want to actually see them in person. People are so annoying to famous people.

[@hollyhood898]

I am from America and I have been listening to him since 2012 on x factor UK. Love him!

[@taedream3825]

im in loooove with his accent

[@callen6216]

taedream it’s Middlesbrough I’m from their too

[@allyhosza]

He better make a book on his story because giirllllllll, let me tell you, I would read that thing over and over because his story is so incredible and so inspiring. From what he was to what he is now is so real and raw. I just want to go back in time and tell that pre-x factor James that everything is going to be okay and that you are loved no matter how you look or the things you like to do. forever my favorite artist

[@maebhnixon4851]

I’ve got it

[@MrsDirectioner777]

OMG relatable, he's just amazing

[@christina.coward]

I keep listening to "can I be him"Like million time

[@ksh6068]

#JamesArthur is so humble and handsome💖 Can't wait to see him perform LIVE!

[@anushkag5113]

She's asking him if he raps? Gurlll do some research.

[@TheSeedOfChange]

Yeah, and she went to a show. And he raps on his albums. So annoying when they act like they are best friends.

[@Ashley-xz6ir]

True I hate that damn. I watched a interviewer ask BTS if they dance WTF.

[@Ashley-xz6ir]

I didn't get the feeling they acted like they were best friends.

[@terria.lucrisia8876]

It really bugs me when interviewers always bring sexuality into the interviews. Asking him if its easy to get girls now! so freakin superficial! James is obviously very intelligent, and so WISE! for his age...I can say Im in love with him first as a person! His personality is really cool. I Love love love his TALENT, James is a GIFTED PERSON! The world is so much richer with him in it!

[@cm2ca]

Thanks for a great interview!

[@shelleyrome]

elaine dubya soo glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching

[@barbiesubliminals5759]

Boy I'm from America and loved him since 13 and I'm 17 now lol

[@KathleenMcVarish]

Shelly Rome... No! You CAN'T have him! I waited TOO long (almost 5 years!) for him to come to America! Plus, I've already heard he wants to live on the WEST coast! (LA California)... And since I have been his biggest U.S supporter....:) and I live in Oregon, I think it is fitting that he live in California! So, NOPE, you can't have him! I guess I could let you borrow him though!.... LOL I am one HAPPY girl! James is finally in the U.S.! I Will be taking my daughter to the Aug 25th Wheatland Calif concert! Long Live the King~! [Oh and by the way, this song... :) Why we call him the "KING!" And we his fans the "JArmy" (James Arthur's Army) I heard he was around 16 when he wrote this about a kid trying "copy" his style! Just... NO WORDS! The song builds and builds until... well, just another "Must see and hear" to believe it!!! Such raw emotion! A Lyrical GENIUS!]

[@WendiwooJarmy]

Ladies ....you have to listen to his rap mixtape all the worlds a stage ! It's incredible ....It's on sound cloud and you tube ...Be prepared to be blown away xx😄🎶🎸😎🔥❤️

[@shelleyrome]

wendiewoo millan thanks for sharing. I'll totally check it out!!

[@KathleenMcVarish]

Wendiewoo! My JArmy sis! Woo Woo! You gotta know how happy watching this has made me! How long I have waited for James to get here!

[@KathleenMcVarish]

Shelley Rome... I used to tweet you and Kiss 92.5 L.A to play James' music ALL the time! I have been his biggest U.S. fan from the the moment I saw him audition on Britain's X Factor! I was blown away by his soul and passion! Literally cried when he won and have been "pressing my nose against the window, hoping he'll arrive, didn't know how to tell him soon I won't be alive!" (James Arthur Lyrics to "I'll Reach You") Feels like I have waited for this moment FOREVER! PLEASE! Do take Wendiewoo's advice and listen to "All The Worlds A Stage!" It is AMAZING! I was never a fan of rap until Gianni Luminati of WOTE and James, but mostly James! They have a way of "adding" music to the rap that made me a BIG fan... I had to learn how! Now, I can sing/rap EVERY word to every song on ATWAS! Favs you should check out first: "Tilikum" About how the Killer whale at Sea World may have felt - (My brothers song! - I just found out, after he had been missing for over a year, that his remains have been found) There is a line in it that says "I'm close to breaking and killing now that my kin is gone!" Not Guilty - About the Gossip Mags in the U.K. that tried to bring James down! Follow The Leader - I love this one, about a "crazed" fan! Wait for the end....:) Where My Angels Dare Not Go - This is the one I say James wrote for me! As a teen, I was sent to live with my sister after I was found in my bedroom with "my hands around my head!" (Due to a Family member) Hand To Mouth - James does have a way with words to the "haters!"... "They told me not to speak so I'll be quiet!" Love it! Hype - Love this too, shows James' tenacity in not stopping until he "makes it!" Thank you so much for having James on! He is PHENOMENAL! A very prolific singer/songwriter with so many, many songs! I have over 150 on my J.A play list! I have ALWAYS said America just needed to hear him and they will fall in love!

[@WendiwooJarmy]

Kathleen McVarish god bless you Hun ...You totally get James .I can't tell you how sorry I am about your brother ....James music really gets into people's souls .🇺🇸❤️😘💕

[@thepassionatepatriot6434]

You said it all. Isn't it amazing? I am 55 and I love that album soooo much. Maybe even my favorite. His lyrics are incredible. So provocative. His rare and exceptional singing talent is an aphrodisiac to the seduction of his hauntingly sincere emotion-drenched vocals. Then ravaged by profoundly glorious lyrics that leave you wet and spent as he has just thoroughly, animalistic-ly yet never before so intimately, jungle fucked you, mind, body, and soul!!!

[@BLit11]

James Arthur you are amazing. I love you 😘😘😘😍😍😍

[@jacymesquita145]

Gostaria tanto de conhecer esse Cantor Maravilhoso James Arthur. É muito talento pra uma pessoa só. 🤗🤗🤗😘😘😍😍

[@emilywillis9912]

Been lucky enough to see james live.. Id love to see him in a film!

[@mystique279]

Sooo excited that JA likes Miguel, he's legit one of my faves. Love interviews, helps you connect with the artist as a person.

[@porchawalker9354]

[@chloemurphy8954]

tysm!

[@mich_av7404]

He's so perfect😍

[@NafiNowsin]

Let me just say I heard Say You Won't Let Go & loved it until I found out his name & watched the video & I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIS LOOKS AND VOICE! His looks are a 10 & HIS SINGING IS A 10! A COMEPELETE 10/10! Whoever that chick was clearly has bad taste

[@abrahamrubio4379]

I knew about you since X factor my favorite uk singer

[@fruityxoxo1991]

I still remember his FIRST SINGLE after Impossible. It was called Recovery...it is still hands down one of my favourite songs by James. People say Say you don't let go is his first single. I am like NOPE. Recovery was his first single....and he already had an album before and an EP including a rap mix tape which is btw UNREAL. AMAZING.

[@mary2761]

she is smitten with him...

[@PrestonFrederick]

she definitely needs to turn it down, ha ha

[@Papillon_2010]

She is a terrible radio personality. I love JA, tho, so I'm here suffering through it...

[@violeta-dorahorga6199]

James is a very private person and that’s why I love him so much , in all this years he has kept his private life personal and focused on music , props to James for using humour to get out of this uncomfortable interview because I think this girl is so flinty and shallow in asking questions like one random person on the street came to ask questions, she’s not very professional

[@kaceface3277]

I love you James

[@tashavladimiroff1874]

I love him

[@kingofhearts652]

Is he in love with Ariana grande? Its serious coz he Even include her in his song, which i have never heard before from any artists

[@antoinetterobinson67]

James Author is the bomb in America for me what is he talking about .

[@marylynncoyle7006]

JA is charming, sweet and so damn hot.....my fav artist❤️USA

[@nefertaricats5268]

Poderia ter a tradução em português Brasil...

[@AnnoyedRedRose-lj9kf]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@antoinetterobinson67]

he freestyle on the show.

[@athralala9515]

She is so in love - WHOS NOT tho?

[@sp3c1alsteph3n8]

James Arthur is a double lucky bastard first for doing well and WINNING the X Factor and then getting a second chance with SYCO (Simon Cowell's music company) That has NEVER happened before!!

[@courtneyb7865]

OMG-She is awful at being a radio host!!!!

[@jackthezoo]

someone needs to clean the lens or fix the focus lol

[@marilouannbatulan856]

e will buy tHAt book...

[@KathleenMcVarish]

Of course! I will add it to the X Factor book... In which James said at the end "breaking America is another big goal of mine!" Well, WELCOME to America, James! (About damned time!)

[@dollydampman2633]

Welcome to America James I heard your song on the radio I just love it you belong here

[@dollydampman2633]

Been following you since the X Factor great job

[@Amber-fj2wv]

the states know you darlin

[@billskarsgardfan7150]

i clicked the video bc of Ariana Grande in the title

[@Mama-Ames]

Did she REALLY ask ♥️ beautiful James ♥️... "Do you rap?!?" SERIOUSLY????? She's either a total ditz, she's NEVER even HEARD of JA, or BOTH. S&S&SMH.

[@kymercury5124]

he's,,, writing,,, a book

[@indiaharris3718]

WILLD

[@heather5344]

Love him but she was annoying.

[@redmoon8217]

I love James and he is so talented, but he needs to lose they sleezy chat up of woman.

[@Ashley-xz6ir]

I don't really like when he raps. Rappers are a dime a dozen. Anyone can rap you don't have to have a beautiful voice to rap you just have to be able to talk fast. Damn I could do that. He was born to sing his voice is one of the best voices on earth .
