This dude is insane. he sings a few different versions of the same songs, and each one is totally amazing. often better than the original artist's version.
Shontelle's version was extremely successful long before James covered it. Don't get me wrong i love James Arthur, but he by no eans made it famous he simply sued the song to propel his career post x-factor
So funny, how so many people think James is ugly. If only more people could open their eyes to real beauty. This guy has a characteristic face which you don't forget after two seconds, like all those mainstream guys from America with more make up on, than me as a woman. He's really special + that incredible voice of his which gives me goosebumps over and over again...there's no reason why a normal thinking woman shouldn't fall in love with this guy instantly. Thumbs up for James
Haha ya totally. I could spend so much time just hearing/watching him sing. And yes...the tattoos are just incredible. Just bought his cd and I can't stop listening to it. Stuck on replay
well said .... he is a very good looking lad with amazing talent never get fed up of listerning to his music ... loved him on the x factor mainly for his voice but the beauty he has is he is amazing at portraying a song with great emotion which a lot of singers cant do and he is a normal person not your typical popstar ....... gotta love james arthur :) so people should embrace his music and stop going on about his look
***** gay propaganda? what the fuck is that? he says stupid shit which will cost record labels money. ya know, the opposite of what a label wants to do. if he self published there would be no problems if he said anything.
Agra All y'all wrong they won't sign him because his voice took they main chick, and they side chick, and they option C. Now they fuckin with Palmela Handerson and her less talented twin sister Bertha.
I love James Arthur!!! His voice is beautiful and I love his interpretation of the songs he chooses to sing!!! Amazing and he is a very handsome guy!!!
What I love about James Arthur is that he puts everything on the table when he's singing... I know that he probably sang this song many times already but he still gave his best and even made it better.
Voll mit gefühl ♥ Ich koennte seine Lieder Tag und Nacht hören, ohne das mir die kotze hoch kommt ! Wie ich schon immer sagte, die ganze Welt sollte ihn respektieren !
I'd say the beginning was more James in his perfectly peaceful yet intense singing state...later his voice muscles weakened a bit for various reasons (the song's slower than usual, can't be belting it throughout even though on X Factor he was singing on a high range for longer periods; other reasons may be some inner energy misalignment, distracting thoughts, causing prior strain on the voice......if this makes sense). Still, this guy can't fault my perception - absolutely stunning, an inspiration beyond his musical expression - he comes across as a deep spiritually maturing consciousness, I can see it through being not as musically talented, but spiritually aware.
Gosh how time flies, whoever commented about he didn’t get as much as attention he deserves. Dont worry, he’s all fine now🥺❤️. International fan right here !
James ur brilliant , keep ur soul and stay true to the music within u . Can't wait to listen to ur older music . I really want my grand kids to listen to a real artist
on a hilarious note. His keyboardist looks like an ex bf of mine LOL. You can tell he just wants to throw down some beats on that bad boy but isnt allowed HAHAHAHA
I can't go one time without crying and watching this. This hits home for me. If my last relationship could be summed up into a song this would be it. Thank you James Arthur for such an amazing voice to make a great cover. God bless you.
I loved this song the first time round when Shontelle did it, but when he did it on xfactor I literally burst into tears. It was like everything I'd been feeling the past 4 years I've had depression just came out :/
I feel like I owe this guy money i've listened to all of his songs on youtube from X-Factor to Now. James keeps reaching new levels as an artist, and I'm glad everyone is enjoying his music because it's just so damn good compared to anything out there.
What a development from the final version at Xfactor to this wonderful, really thrilling mesmerizing version - a bit slower, a lower key, more room for phrasing and James Arthurs kaleidoscope of emotions. His performances touch me deep inside - everytime. Thanks a lot !!!!!
Ya know, when ya young music often touches you. It grabs you and sweeps you along on an emotional journey to such an extent that you catch yourself with a face contorted with empathy. Get past ya 20's, and that rarely happens. I'm past my 20's, and it just did. I can't remember the last time a vocal did that. It's an incredible, emotionally charged voice, which leaves a sense of stillness when it finishes. Truly stunning.
Literally who cares what he looks like with a voice like that. If you're not pleased enough with his looks just close your eyes because his voice is fucking magical.
it must be really hard for the pianist and guitarist to play along as he makes sudden variations to the melody, I can hear how they are trying to adjust at moments
+Juhana Kaarlehto they should have played along.. at least hold up the melody.. since when the band is changing melody when singer starts to alternate his voice??
I think they're mainly adjusting to rhythm; James changes the melody within key, in harmony with the instruments playing as is....he's an improvisation artist - a master like I've never seen, natural, sings deep from his soul, yet he must've had countless hours of focus, dedication, practice......I'm not fooled, this didn't come just like this; quite likely a lot of pain was transmuted to reach this level (you could say James on some egoic level wanted to express himself so outwardly emotionally, to connect with his emotion during performances; who knows, maybe throughout life too; we can only scratch what we're perceiving with words ; anyway, this play of consciousness, this character being played out, this expression served many, it inspired - but deep down we're deeper than that, and all of us are that same one 'thing' - the only that exists - everything - all that is). It's all God's work. Ego likes repetition, for fear any variation will be disliked. If you're free, you do whatever inspires you in the moment and it flows beautifully like that. With James, I feel he's totally in the now, mixing everything effortlessly, trusting his voice, his expression, trusting nature.... It feels he's letting it come out just by itself. That sort of state of Being is enlightenment.
Hey there, ya you. I'm watching in 2017 but trust me when I say talent never dies and James Arthur's talent by all means shall never be forgotten, so hello people of the future with an amazing sense for genuine talent.
Amazing, even better live! He was my favourite on x factor and still now! I noticed how he was singing quite slow, and that's because he's able to hear himself too loudly through his headphones. Yet he carries on, pulls it off and nails it. Someone with no talent would cry about it.
This version that he sang compared to when he sang it on the X factor is completely different!!! In this version it sounds like his soul is singing it... I don't if it will make any sense to you guys but it felt like to me not his voice but his soul was singing it... FANTASTIC!!!
he is a very good looking lad with amazing talent never get fed up of listerning to his music ... loved him on the x factor mainly for his voice but the beauty he has is he is amazing at portraying a song with great emotion which a lot of singers cant do and he is a normal person not your typical popstar ....... gotta love james arthur :) so people should embrace his music and stop going on about his looks
verdammt schwer sowas nach zu singen er singt einfach nur geil und das mit so einer eigentlich tiefen stimme das ist einfach nur unbeschreiblich geil !
***** Can you please read TWICE before you're trying 'act mature' , Ty. I said 'Ppl heard about Justin Bieber but not about this guy' , that's not trashing somebody nor making someone look 'bad' . If you can't live with it , that's your problem , but at least don't 'talk about something' , I've never said , Ty .
This dude is insane. he sings a few different versions of the same songs, and each one is totally amazing. often better than the original artist's version.
soo true.
James is incredible
Shontelle's version was extremely successful long before James covered it. Don't get me wrong i love James Arthur, but he by no eans made it famous he simply sued the song to propel his career post x-factor
exactly, its not his song but almost in every you tube video his name is there, but the credits should go to shontelle!!!!
Laura well i never heard of it till james sang it
Jodi Holt not many people have because the original is pony
His voice control and range are insane. So underrated
dieser typ ist der absolute knaller.... so viel gefühl, wie er singt ... ich find echt kaum worte ... amazing
One of the best singer of our era :)
Top 4
Age* mi muy buen hombre😂😂
Amen
So funny, how so many people think James is ugly. If only more people could open their eyes to real beauty. This guy has a characteristic face which you don't forget after two seconds, like all those mainstream guys from America with more make up on, than me as a woman. He's really special + that incredible voice of his which gives me goosebumps over and over again...there's no reason why a normal thinking woman shouldn't fall in love with this guy instantly.
Thumbs up for James
i don't think he is ugly at all...and look at his tattoo, it's freakin awesome
Haha ya totally. I could spend so much time just hearing/watching him sing. And yes...the tattoos are just incredible.
Just bought his cd and I can't stop listening to it. Stuck on replay
Exactly i couldnt have said that better!!!:)
well said .... he is a very good looking lad with amazing talent never get fed up of listerning to his music ... loved him on the x factor mainly for his voice but the beauty he has is he is amazing at portraying a song with great emotion which a lot of singers cant do and he is a normal person not your typical popstar ....... gotta love james arthur :) so people should embrace his music and stop going on about his look
Faith Carponelli you're trying to insult people who don't like him.. it's their opinion.. you can't argue with that.
James is the best. Why can the music industrie not see his incredible talent!? Amazing voice!
they can but he tweets a lot of stupid shit which in turn reflects badly on a record label making it a risk to sign him.
+Jumanji0028 yeah probably...quite sad tbh...such a gifted voice and it doesn't get the attention it should
***** gay propaganda? what the fuck is that? he says stupid shit which will cost record labels money. ya know, the opposite of what a label wants to do. if he self published there would be no problems if he said anything.
yes, like most young famous people say silly shit, they seem to get away with it, I'll ignore that - great voice
Agra All y'all wrong they won't sign him because his voice took they main chick, and they side chick, and they option C. Now they fuckin with Palmela Handerson and her less talented twin sister Bertha.
James' acoustic versions showcase the authentic gritty raw emotion of his voice and that deep, and sometimes dark, place from where truth arises.
Intelligent
holy feels!!!!!! i can feel EVERYTHING he sings. he is so fucking good.
Stephanie Hall true
so viel Gänsehaut kann ein Mensch doch gar nicht haben 👀 so krass!!!
He has one of the most pure and soulful voices ever and he is a beautiful person inside and out
I love James Arthur!!! His voice is beautiful and I love his interpretation of the songs he chooses to sing!!! Amazing and he is a very handsome guy!!!
in my opinion he's attractive, not handsome. However, his voice is amazing :)
alice11235
In my opinion he's good looking, not handsome or attractive. However, his voice is unbelievable :)
dellekaj In my opinion he's hot, not good looking, handsome or attractive. However, his voice is brilliant.
YourWife2008 I just don't know why, but you made me laugh. A lot.
Flow
In my opinion, he's extremely adorable and so fkin talented.
he makes it look so effortless, the most beautiful version of this song by far!
It's a bit more difficult after 3 minutes......he's doing amazingly professionally to keep it going and making the best of it. What a pro.
What I love about James Arthur is that he puts everything on the table when he's singing... I know that he probably sang this song many times already but he still gave his best and even made it better.
Voll mit gefühl ♥ Ich koennte seine Lieder Tag und Nacht hören, ohne das mir die kotze hoch kommt !
Wie ich schon immer sagte, die ganze Welt sollte ihn respektieren !
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE JAMES IN EVERY SINGLE WAY WHY CAN'T PEOPLE OPEN THERE DAMN EYES TO SEE THAT HE'S REALLY GOOD AND PRETTY xx ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😀😀❤❤❤❤❤❤

That feeling!
The best male vocalist guy I’ve ever heard. And I’ve heard plenty.
❤❤
He completely blew my mind. Such a gorgeous voice! Not to mention he's quite handsome. :) I will definitely be playing this on repeat.
I love this guy and his voice is awesome, James arthur really is talented!
He is one of the most convincing singers ever
I've just heard this version for the first time, and I thought I've listen all of them. OMG!! He's amazing!
he must be sick of singing this exhausting song, its beautiful, but i bet he has sang it a million times, ill hear it a million more tho :)
stfu
Lol
He tried the "Impossible" and got it.
He hasn’t even been alive for a million sets of 3 minutes
@@lancercantaim he has, 1x3 = 3 million minutes. With a simple google search you can see 3 million minutes is 5.7 years.
That's fucking amazing!
Yeah nigga

Easily the most underrated and undervalued artist today. Incredible.
i never get tired of this version or his voice really... hes so incredible
In this version there is only a guitar, piano and bis voice, a beautiful mix.
Anyone who thinks James is ugly is blind. Lol. That and his powerful voice just adds to it. Ugh, I wish I could meet him and sing with him ._.
The best singer in world, Like From Timor Leste 🇹🇱 👍💯
Best singer and voice in the world.
After the john legend,ed sheeran another singers

@@sedatkaya541 john and ed dimt hold a flame to his voice
He sings with so much feeling n heart, just simply amazing and a joy to listen to
I love how no one could ever copy his songs because he literally just sings them how he feels at the time.
on a hilarious note. His keyboardist looks like an ex bf of mine LOL. You can tell he just wants to throw down some beats on that bad boy but isnt allowed HAHAHAHA
He is the real deal. What a performer.James Arthur XFactor Compilation worth watching.
James Arthur is amazing. Gives me chills every time.
there is very few people that has such emotion in their voice... i am happy i found you James!
I can't go one time without crying and watching this. This hits home for me. If my last relationship could be summed up into a song this would be it. Thank you James Arthur for such an amazing voice to make a great cover. God bless you.
I loved this song the first time round when Shontelle did it, but when he did it on xfactor I literally burst into tears. It was like everything I'd been feeling the past 4 years I've had depression just came out :/
Your music has carried me through some tough times!! #struggling
the way he sings make it looks like he was the one hurt and i'm amazed by how he owned it
😂
Deserves all the recognition in the world. So beautifully and amazingly talented.
I feel like I owe this guy money i've listened to all of his songs on youtube from X-Factor to Now. James keeps reaching new levels as an artist, and I'm glad everyone is enjoying his music because it's just so damn good compared to anything out there.
Thats why i bought his album couse he deservers our money i think ...
Hilda Lobo he's OWNED by Cowell so well done feeding the manufacturing music machine.
killed it! BEST version of this song EVER!!
I like how he gets so connected to the music but doesn't lose himself in it.. Now that's an artist 😘
Man this guy is probably the best singer to come out of a talent show
What a development from the final version at Xfactor to this wonderful, really thrilling mesmerizing version - a bit slower, a lower key, more room for phrasing and James Arthurs kaleidoscope of emotions. His performances touch me deep inside - everytime. Thanks a lot !!!!!

Pure talent right here, he's finally getting the recognition he deserves 👌🏻💯
Arthur can sing LIVE!! Best voice ever made !
It brings tears to my eyes, I can feel the pain of a broken heart through his voice. James is here to stay that's for sure.
Very unique in his voice and talent. Loved this song way before he covered it and by god, I love it even more since his version. Thank you James.
Incredible!!! Love from the U.S.A
Annie Self YASS
I fell for this guy's voice so much, this's going on the repeat for days now. Headphones & volume max.
Wow. His control is bloody incredible. He just makes everything sound so effortless and smooth. James is here to stay
Literally who cares what he looks like with a voice like that. If you're not pleased enough with his looks just close your eyes because his voice is fucking magical.
WOW. Thats a solid live performance. Absolutely amazing like the Record, no, even better.

Yeah dude
No it’s not hard. They just keep playing the same chords sane phrase and James will make the variations and back to the right melody then
i dont even have any words to describe how touching it is.
He is able to make his own version of his own version of the song. Genius
i can't deal. i've never had someone's voice impact me like his does.
just never get enough with his voice! awesome!
Hey there, ya you. I'm watching in 2017 but trust me when I say talent never dies and James Arthur's talent by all means shall never be forgotten, so hello people of the future with an amazing sense for genuine talent.

He won the British x factor last year, I was cheering him on from the first time I saw him in auditions. He deserved to win. :)
This version that he sang compared to when he sang it on the X factor is completely different!!! In this version it sounds like his soul is singing it... I don't if it will make any sense to you guys but it felt like to me not his voice but his soul was singing it... FANTASTIC!!!
Just on the sideline. Thanks to Radio Hamburg for having hosted this. As others have written he deserves recognition!
he is a very good looking lad with amazing talent never get fed up of listerning to his music ... loved him on the x factor mainly for his voice but the beauty he has is he is amazing at portraying a song with great emotion which a lot of singers cant do and he is a normal person not your typical popstar ....... gotta love james arthur :) so people should embrace his music and stop going on about his looks
He's sharp as a knife. His voice just pierces through the heart.
hammer!!!
sooo gefühlvoll... Gänsehaut pur!
very very very emotional!
My heart was broken today!!!!! I purchased VIP tickets to see James in Utah on May 10, 2020. I was just notified that the show has been cancelled.
Talent at its best. Amazinggg. 😍👏
i can't help but keep on listening to this song over and over again...his version is giving me goosebumps...its so full of emotions.
James you make my days so much beautiful.
Love him,he is a secret part in my heart.
All my scars aare open... AHHHH PERFECT... YOUR VOICE IS MAGIC!!!
eargasm....
One of the very few artist that don't need all the mixing bords and flashy gimmicks. He's perfect on his own.
i love the way he sings it at any version
Gosh dang this man can sang!!! Such a talented singer 😍😍😍
