      @@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.

    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.

      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 ❤️

    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.

    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!

    Honestly the most incredible artist. The fact that you can watch these performances back 6 years later and they're still as good as the first time you hear them, he really is a star in the making! Most X Factor stars you love at the time and then you listen back and wonder why you thought they were that good, James just is THAT good

    Oh my word, I've just now for the first time heard this guy sing on our local radio station KFM in Cape Town, South Africa and the song is "Say You won't Let Go" . Oh WOW, he has an amazing voice, such heart felt talent and I had to Google who he is and everything the judges say about him on X Factor is spot on. What a naturally talented artist. Well done young man.🤩
