where will james arthur be in 12 months time?
 

Will he go the same way as matt cardle or will he still be in the charts with maybe his 3rd single ?

I reckon he will be in the line up on never mind the buzzcocks and tweeting about having half a million single sales

I think he is more current and his demographic is even slightly different as he has an urban edge to him (can do dub step sets etc) so I think he will be more successful. Matt Cardle won for his everyday man with a good voice kind of thing. James won for his complete talent because he won a lot of people who found him moody at the beginning. He also has a lot of other artists lining up to collaborate with him. Not a bad thing.

[speculative nonsense from someone without a real grasp on the music industry here]

True :)

He'll probably have a successful debut and then flop

His album will have sold more than Adele's 21

in the gutter

Pah. You know nothing about me

I dont know why people think Matt isn't doing well,just because he isn't number one or in everyones face all the time doesn't mean he is doing nothing he is about to start an unplugged tour which is already sold out in some places so obviously his fans are still with him,and is very busy,so although he pulled away from Sycho.he is doing what he wants and doing well,as for James Arthur who knows,only time will tell but personally i think he is way overrated and he doesnt appeal to me,but,a smile from him might help:hugesmile:

He'll be bigger than the Beatles












...the insects I mean, not the band.

I don't think he'll be a megastar, but I think he will do relatively well for 3 or 4 albums in Europe.

I agree with every word you said. :xyxwave:
James has the talent, but you also need personality and charisma, and James isn't big on either.

:laugh2:

The amount of artists that have said they'd collab with him, I'd say he'll be doing fine

He is more than your average XF contestant that just has a good voice

was just about to post that bitch :laugh2:

People on this thread are mistaking 12 months for 12 years. In 12 months he'll only just be started fgs.

thats a Great start

No Scott


That could be you



Sign of the Times

heard the song for the first time today, wasn't overly impressed tbh

Probably have a couple more top 10 singles before fading away

apperntly james has bad teeth thats why he doesnt smile. Ive read somewhere once he has some money he will get his teeth fixed. I predict he will be huge in both the Uk and america. Hes actually my fave ever x factor winner. Evere since the 2nd week on x factor I love him.

Summer season at butlins.

Exactly :joker: Some bitter people
