James Arthur stole the show on this week's X Factor with a performance that Gary claimed was 'the best in the competition so far.'
The 24-year-old sang his version LMFAO's 'I'm Sexy And I Know It' and impressed both the judges and the audience. Louis said: “You’re going to get a recording deal.” Tulisa added: “Tonight you had fun and I really liked seeing that side of you.”
Gary said: “This wasn’t the performance of the night, it was the performance of the series so far!”

forget the acts, its about time we judged the judges, what a waste of space they are, TULISA hasn't got a clue what she's on about, and as for that NICOLE she is the most annoying woman on the planet with her jumping up and down all the while , and her false accent, simon has got to get rid of her or lose even more viewers

same as last week..judges fightin amongst themselves...very low standards again.. james did ok, he was the best of a mediocre bunch..even my 6year old daughter said it was rubbish! i think i watch it to see how low it can get!

She's got a great voice, but she's 16 going on 30 and she's a bit dull to be honest. Lighten up girl.

What a load of s........... x factor is now showing what a commercialised load of crap it really is, not a singing competition at all... it's about sensilisation, if i spelt that correct... there are only 2 people on this program that can actually sing and I for one is fed up of the crap this program portrays... it should be about the singing not the dancing show behind them, what is that all about... it's time now for the program to end and I am not saying this because I am a strictly fan, don't watch that because of Tess Daly, it's time TV got back to the real talent that is out there and stop feeding us this absolute bo....ks

I think the X factor would be a better show if the judges didn't give their opinions!
There must be a fault with my TV or my ears as I don't seem to hear what the judges do. They often rave about how fantastic an act is;.. how talented; unique voice; a brilliant performance; how they are set to superstardom etc and to me it is an ordinary looking bloke singing! I feel deprived; sometimes I just don't get what the fuss is about...I want to hear what they hear.

Would'nt spend 10p to watch any of them. Just compare them with the winners of 5-10 years ago. Be honest. They would'nt get passed the first round.

Screw X Factor and Strictly. Merlin FTW!

he copied that song off you tube.
20/10/2012 23:13
Not only did he steal the show, he stole that version of the song. Only1Noah on YouTube.

That wasn't James Arthur's version though. It was Only1Noah's version. Noah posted his cover in May on YouTube and it went viral. And suddenly last night everyone gives James the credit for something that clearly wasnt his!? This is why i am never watching X Factor again, as Noah got NO credit for his work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsvlsuLau5c

In my opinion james arthur didn't steal the show, he just stole the song, Only1Noah on Youtube did this version first. And Nicole thinks she can say she and James came up with this? I think this is disgraceful and blatant theft. Here is the original www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsvlsuLau5c

I had to stay in last night due to ill health what a total waste of two hours its the first time this year I have tuned in live ,very very poor set of finalists X factor has had it's time first couple of series where entertaining ,the general public have seen it for what it is a cash cow for Cowell why vote when the judges and production team can manipulate the results and get the act they want through to the next round ,only ever goes to deadlock when they know the act they want to save is safe!
21/10/2012 12:53
If you search 'only1noah's version of the song on Youtube, you'll find it's had over 13 million hits since May, and that James Arthur clearly ripped it off of him. I have no issue with the fact that JA may (or may not) have talent, but it's annoying that he's passing off the version as his own.

This "show" just goes from bad to worse! That vicious little Irish clown Louis Walsh showed, yet again, what a nasty little upstart he really is when he completely ignored the doctors examination of Jade's throat (who advised she doesn't even talk let, alone sing!) and berated her for a lacklustre performance. Jahmene's performance was dreadful, he murdered his song, all over the place with it, desperately trying to claw some semblance of respectability by using his vocal range. And, incredulously for me, all the judges praised him. If I was prepared to give Cowell and his cohorts the benefit of the doubt re pre arranged top three, it went out of the window last night. And that twerp Walsh all but confirmed that when he admitted that Cowells preferred top three are Ella, Jahmene and James Arthur. This show is a farce and deserves to sink lower and lower in the ratings.

the guys singing is common and aggressive, he has pain in his voice, he would do ok in social clubs and busking, as for winning it..............no chance, he hasn't got it!
21/10/2012 01:00
And as for that thing rylan he should be shot..........
21/10/2012 00:57
Ella should win that hands down
21/10/2012 09:34
