As far as i remember Nicole was the one of the few who always stuck by his side and helped him more than she had to. It is why their final song togheter ''Make you feel my love'' was so emotional. And it is for sure why he isn't an amazing international superstar now.

[@peachpanda88]

@@laurynfitchford You had to realized that at that time Nicole have 2 artist who are so mentally unstable. James had a few anxiety attack during lives while Jahmane had constantly had panic attacks. She had to calm both down and reassure them. This is why a lot was unsure about putting both through back then but Nicole stood by them. The show just didn't show everything she did for them. They did make it seem like he favors the other guy w/ them but Nicole had always said in her interviews even before he won that her favorite is James for his artistry. James has always said that it was Nicole that was always on his side. Even after the show when the management almost drop him & just brush him aside for Ella it was Nicole who stuck with him like a real mentor even if she did not habe to anymore as the show is over. They are still close until today because of this. Jahmene also had suicide attempt after the show but Nicole & James supported him too. Both had a hard time but pass through that thanks to Nicole's help.

Calum Scott and James Arthur are gems that was discovered late but still shine so bright.

[@UsernamesForDummies]

So many years later, and he’s still my favourite contestant ever. He had the ability to make every song his own, no matter what genre. For example, considering that he didn’t like the way he looked, it was extremely brave to chose that LMFAO song ‘Sexy and I Know It’. Not only would it be difficult to make the lyrics believable if you dislike your looks, but JA’s rendition is also incredibly different to the original. Cherry on top is, that he actually came across as rather sexy when he sang it. Through his journey on X factor, there wasn’t a single performance that I even remotely thought of as average. He’s not one of those karaoke contestants that sound exactly like the original. He’s a true musician.

You can hear the pain in his voice. He sung like he needed it. He really deserve it man. I’m proud of him it makes me cry.

[@emhendrickson]

I LOVE that this brought his parents together!!

[@Dak108]

emhendrickson Wonder why..I am suspicious ..saw his parents att he first audition..hmmm.idk

[@tealdust1]

Dakini 108 they didn't get together as a couple - they've bee split for 20 years.It was his mom said it was James that brought "both sides of the family together. . They knew he struggled with drugs and sounds like a mess that his parents/household was, just speculating, because to leave to get away from your parents..I hope 2018 they are all doing well, this was interesting video.

[@Hannah-ll9dz]

2021 and I’m still watching this 😂💙

[@juliebufford9473]

[@dorotakudyba8627]

England, thank you for James Arthur.

[@clairel.f.c2353]

Your welcome try see him live ......amazing 👏

[@anasmouada9538]

When I want to get goosepumps, I listen to James Arthur.

[@RiversideHomestead]

2022 and I needed his voice and emotions. I can feel every bit of it. He was for me the best of all winners of this show! A real Star!

[@anjalik.6570]

You know what makes James unique out of every other singer? His emotion, that he brings into his songs... that connects with the listener. I can feel that pain he is suffering through the song... yet I am only listening. That is what makes him unique and special.

[@Tri_monster]

And that continues to today. He still puts so much emotion into his music, you can feel it when he sings.

[@luagenbach]

Agreed 🙏🏻

[@its._cheslie]

He just literally smashed every song we heard in this almost an hour video. From feeling lost and unhappy with life, playing and singing his emotions in the songs really opened up how much pain he’s been through to get here. I don’t think it’s easy to understand how hard it can be to get up upon that stage and sing your heart out to the world; I think James would agree. But I can swear down that he has a pure and heart fulfilling talent that is truly a gift to us. Myself can and love to sing but I feel I just don’t have the confidence to sing my heart, so watching this has helped me believe in myself. It’s true, every song he sung was definitely better than the original, just his style has put me in awe. He is officially one of my favourites forever ❤️

[@anniemoonmaid]

this is the ONLY performance on the entire X factor that left me opened mouthed in awe!! James is my fav artist EVER!

[@thebubbles757]

The BEST I've seen how did I miss him forever an ARTIST FOR REAL PAIN IS PHENOMENAL IT BRINGS ABOUT THIS!!!

[@dannystalford5029]

I think a lot of us identify with James because you can sense the deep sadness inside him that reminds us of ourselves.

[@AlannahWhitbread]

Just watched the whole thing and I could honestly watch it multiple times over and not get bored. His voice is something else. The emotion is so heartfelt. He covers songs better than you ever could imagine. His newest album, back from the edge is a masterpiece. Seriously so, so good. Most credible XFactor winner. Ever.

[@remygurtina3349]

Alannah Ellithorn I felt the sameway.He is so amazing amazing amazing👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Rabfatboy2874]

This young man has so much to give and I really pray that he overcomes his obstacles, both personally and professionally to keep giving us the soul that comes out when he sings." No more pain" was off the charts .LMFO WHO!!!

[@angelhairlaser]

He did! :)

[@kamaropayne5226]

It’s actually called No More Drama, by Mary J Blige. James has been one of my favorite artists for years, he’s truly incredible

[@thersia6797]

O que sei é,o que sento quando James Arthur Canta,o musculo incontrolável chega a doer! sério!? fã 🇧🇷'_'♥️

[@terryhaywood6520]

Don't ever remove James arthers journey, He's Magic,

[@helenbatten7821]

James Arthur is unequivocally the most talented artist to date from x factor. I am transfixed by his voice and presence. I will never be as transfixed by any other act from the show. truly unique..I love him!

[@Tri_monster]

Now we have Dalton Harris though...

[@darrenpoole1251]

Tri Monster lets just be lucky we have them in the same lifetime

[@lorghansnikki6142]

Dalton Harris his match

[@user-rp3kn4pr5j]

Tri Monster Dalton isn’t nearly as good lol James outshone him when they performed together

[@justjessy2148]

The no more pain performance hurts my heart! Still incredible!

[@13524mariam]

i'd listen to his voice my rest of my life,'amazing' is too little for him

[@lotoflaughs28]

His audition made me cry like it was mine. He just gave me so many emotions with all his songs, omg...

[@brandychewningcaldwell379]

The best part of this was his parents putting their mess aside to come together for him. Beautiful.

[@jeffbaker634]

When he sang Marvin Gaye " Let's get it on." Oh my God! Nobody should even dare touch that Motown classic, but James Arthur did it and it was awesome! 2019 and I still enjoy watching a diamond in the rough become a diamond that is polished and shines so bright. Love ya James! Love your voice, your songs and albums. You are a shining star and I'm so happy for you.

[@amandathomas2272]

Marvin gaye was amazing

[@paulmoz36]

His voice has the emotion of a tidal wave .

[@urdadzass]

Already got tickets to see him on tour in 6 months and can't wait. The amount of times I've seen him live is unreal, he's got a voice that you can never tire of hearing, just pure, raw, natural talent. Can't tell you the amount of times I've watched his story too, I'm a fan. Funnily enough Ella Henderson who he was in the bottom 2 with is another of my fave artists who I can't get enough of and have watched her journey too many times over! Back to James though, what a legend!

[@mandyvandenberg1001]

So extremly talented. damn.

[@leoniharrison9156]

He literally makes every song his own. The way he sang ‘I’m sexy and I know it’. 🤩 😮 wow.

[@AssKrak69]

IKR. Deadset didn’t even realise what he was singing till he actually sang “I’m sexy and I know it”. And the comments from the guy sitting next to Nicole were on point.

[@maricarparungao1124]

Still watching...march 2021😊😊i will never get tired listening and watching all his performances in xfactor

[@Loelta1]

I feel like Nicole had a big part in his astounding development. Such a cool and natural women, it`s amazing. So thanks a lot to Nicole Scherzinger as well. I already know i still will be watching his auditions and also hear james` productions in many years. Its really rare for such shows to bring out/ find such a big talent. KZbin please keep that video and recordings of the performances alive. Thats why i love yt. Keep it up, James.

[@enjeldeguzman8266]

he is so sincere every time he sings

[@Tri_monster]

He puts so much emotion into everything he sings, you don't just hear him sing but you feel it.

[@anggrekbulan100]

@@Tri_monster Very well said..

[@mikelombard21]

10:53 "He sings like he doesn't have a choice". This might be the most enlightening part of the whole vid.

I can't stop watching and listen to these beautiful performances of my male artist idol🥳

I'm 5 yrs late. LOVE U JAMES ARTHUR! 😍

[@naturiesmall5379]

Is it just me or if Sam smith and Ed had a cross over of talents this is what the product would be I freaking love James like you can feel his pain yow like.

[@miche.5146]

Naturie small its more like the voice of sam smith, the style of Ed Sheeran and soul of Adele

[@smartdumbkid3160]

+Miche. So they had threesome??? Jk

[@rew1na]

Miche. Forget Sam Smith... that's the voice of James Morrison

[@maddyshay6799]

YESSSS!!!! Thats what i say. Sam, ed, and james are by far my favorite artists

[@bezaaddis1758]

Why is this so accurate?

[@marcief.8165]

They are wrong for putting them 2 boys to battle James 🤣 they wasn't no where near being on James level.

[@abenaagyeiwaaacquah7671]

It was a joke 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I feel bad saying it, but I was also thinking “who are these clowns?? 😂” when I saw it ahahaha

[@OllieNacey]

So true, but you need to check out James Vickery's music! He's doing well in his own right now :)

[@Mama-Ames]

The incomparable James Arthur WAS THE ENTIRE XF2012!!! No other contestant even came close. They were ALL amateurs compared to his pure, raw talent. Starting w/his heartwrenching, mind-blowing audition, James was THE Master Class. THE ONE to beat. And EVERYONE... ALWAYS... KNEW IT.🙏❤🇺🇲✌

[@uzuwuzi4481]

James, your "Empty Space" music is one in a million art you ever done!! Lots of love!

[@virginiasauco5680]

James Arthur forever😍😍

[@Jennah0908]

The best XF contestant ever. I cannot believe I wasn't rooting for him 5 years ago.. I was about 13/14 then so was probably watching it for the cute guys lol 😂 he deserves so much success, he's honestly the most talented person to come from this show. Now it's just a bunch of good looking people with average voices and no emotion whatsoever.. :/

[@deadvibes6428]

watching a 52 min video of james arthur singing takes me to another world

[@AJ-nu5qx]

Me toooooooo❤❤❤

[@JSloshooter]

I've been in the creative industry for many decades. I must say THIS visdeo is one of the finest I have ever seen. The leads, cuts, fades, timing is a perfect mind catcher that grabs me and never lets me veer off for a beat, for 52.03 infinate minutes! That is one hellava task, for my attention level! Accolades to whoever put this together. As far as James goes... no words yet can describe what he is. Just... WoW!

[@cathcrow9352]

awesome response! His performances are breathtaking.

[@AlyssaMJimenez]

His Lashes are beautiful. His Voice. He is amazing live

[@akirah1608]

Scrolling thru the comments i was thinking the same thing so beautiful!

[@Collpike]

I so in love with James Arthur. His voice is like liquid gold to my ears. I feel his pain while he sings. Little by little hopefully he let''s go of his hurt. Fanatstic singing.

[@hildalobo2399]

2018 and i`m still proud of this young man. I promoted him here in holland to my friends and everyone who likes music.Bought his first album after the show to support him here in this country. This was for me the best Xfactor to watch and see this young man grow to the preformer he is now.. I love James Arthur....

[@cathcrow9352]

Beautiful statement, Hilda! He is the best!
