James Arthur fired by Simon Cowell

[Kyle]

he's crap anyway bye

[Samantha]

Oh well, didn't like his music too much it grew on me, but he wasn't someone I generally liked. I'm not too fussed that he got fired, it's not like he's got that big in his career anyway, only thing that did get big was his head.

That's sad new for him Is the song public?

nope it'll be released on his new mixtape, don't think it's got a release date yet but it'll be free on itunes (afaik)

When he first auditioned I hated him. For starters he said he was homeless and lived on the streets, but turns out his parents had just kicked him out and as soon as he got through his mum was all over her 'superstar son' and he was back living with her.

^^Not sure how much of that is correct but from watching perhaps every other week, that's what I got from him.

Plus he seemed like the type to be out with the lads, dossing around, doing weed and making people feel intimidated to walk down the street for his own entertainment. (A bit judgmental, I know).

After the series I liked his version of Impossible, I thought it was better than the original! But I've not liked any more of his music since.

Since winning he seems to cause a lot of trouble with other people on Twitter and writes some quite disturbing songs.

I don't approve of him. I think Simon should get rid, he hasn't got time for ********s.

you clearly have no idea.. if you take a look back at his audition on youtube he tells you himself that he lived in a flat but has slept rough in the past (before going into foster care). he wasn't kicked out either, he didn't want to be in the middle of his mum and dads fights and made the decision himself. his mum has always supported whatever he has done too btw, not sure where you got the idea of her suddenly being all over him after becoming a 'superstar' because he wasn't a superstar during the audition. also during the contestants live together, do they not?

second part of your post i'm not even gonna bother with, it's basically a load of crap

but yeah you're right, he has made a fool out of himself on twitter. not sure what disturbing songs you're talking about though?

He couldn't even sing...though tbh not many of the xfactor people can
He'd have vanished within the next 2 years anyways so might as well just get rid of him now instead ofof waiting

he can definitely sing, whether you like it or not is something else

and i doubt he's gonna vanish, he's already created a name for himself with the public no matter if it's good or bad

I thought it was very rude. There is a more polite way to say someone's point is invalid. And I quite clearly stated I didn't know anything about it, and it's all I picked up from watching the odd episode, I never once claimed it to be fact, and below I gave my opinion of him which obviously offended you for some reason.

You don't have to get so defensive over him.

I think the -rep was valid considering your point was just abuse at what I said. Your -rep at me however, just to -rep back was immature.

polite? you're saying it as if i've insulted you in my post which i haven't.. i'm not gonna sugarcoat anything to make you feel better

and no you're wrong, i'm not offended. i'd just prefer if you actually understood what you were talking about

[-Moniquee.]

I don't know much about him personally, apart from things I've read. But I really enjoy his music.

[Michael]

The whole twitter fiasco with him was silly and a big knock to his reputation, could see this coming.

just read this. interesting!

James Arthur has denied reports that he has been dropped by his record label.

Reports in The Sun On Sunday suggested that the X Factor winner had lost his contract with Simon Cowell's label over lyrics on his upcoming rap mixtape, which see him threatening violence and comparing his actions to those of a terrorist.

The tabloid suggested that the line "I'm gonna blow up your family like I'm a terrorist" used on one track which has been teased by Arthur in the lead up to the release of the mixtape was the final straw for Syco, who stood by Arthur in 2013 following controversies over his use of homophobic lyrics and earlier in 2014 when he compared himself to a killer whale.

However, Arthur has responded to the reports and denied that he has been dropped. "As far as I know I am still with syco but I am exclusively signed to Sony. People look too deeply into the media circus. It's about music.", he tweeted last night (April 6), explaining that the line quoted by the papers was taken out of context and that is exists as part of song quoting a letter from a fan, similar to 'Stan' by Eminem.

How long has he been making rap songs? Actually curious.

I've not heard anything since Impossible so I'm interested if he continued with the sort of X-Factor style songs that he did (don't really know how to generalise but you don't seemuch rap on the X-Factor) or did he move on to rap straight away as his prefered style. Or a bit of both?

I didn't even know he was a rap artist, so clearly I'm a bit behind.
