I thought noone but Sia can put so much pain and emotion in this Song and hated all the covers but this actuallly made me cry.. Love James so unique and talented.
Gary Shutup I am over it, I freakin' LOVE James what he did was wrong yes but I think it's also wrong from the label to shut the contract.. Anyway James will find his way..
This guy can sing anything and it turns to gold. I've listened to all of his x factor performances constantly over the years. His version of "falling" is insane.
mordrya....how funny me too....huge love for neil young a voice so unique and bob dylan...had the pleasure of seeing this guy in the UK Albert Hall amazing...
Quite a statement lol I've heard guys who are unreal guitarists and sing amazing and literally no one knows who they are. This guy is making his millions and I'd say far from underrated in comparison to many musicians
From James's first audition, I knew he was going to win. Every time he sings it makes me want cry. I just discovered his full acoustic album he let out even before he went on factor.. Some of those songs are raw...I mean..raw.
Cannot express how much I love this guy's voice! James Arthur could go ridiculously far in the music business. He can sing any song and make it his own.
Thanks to MTV for sharing such a GREAT talent "James Arthur". His voice is so captivating... Love this rendition in addition to ALL of his other covers and songs from his album.
dayummmm...... i had almost made up my mind that only sia could do that song justice.... now i know one more person who can ......"" seriously is he from planet EARTH!!!!""" amazing truly speechless at the rendition
People say fans are only fans because he was on tv... I'm so thankful he went on the x-factor! I would never listen to this amazing talented man today if he didn't sign up for x-factor!

Every single live performance you do is exquisitely perfect. You touch my soul like no one else does. Your voice paints your soul with a billion shades... the only thing I can do is to sit back and soak every bit of the emotion you give unselfishly. You are truly amazing. Love ya.😍
Can't expect to hear anything other than the breathtaking, professionalism that James displays here. with it's usual but unusual uniqueness. Heartrending.
Haven't a clue what all has been in the media but I listen to music and to Sia and this is not either one of those. This is just plain awful musically speaking.
This man can sing the phonebook, and also cover the most talented singers and their songs. He beats them! ... so so so hauntingly beautiful, everything he sings turns to liquid gold
come on this are the type of artist we all want to listen he´s so powerfull in every single way his voice the way he feels the lyrics he should be one of the most famous artist worldwide real talent tho!
That's going be one hell of a booking....."can you make it on the 3rd?: reply..."sorry fully booked" ,"wait got a slot open on the 9th..but needs to be am".."nah, can't get run over then no buses run on sunday"....Also you wont actually get to hear him... :))
Yea got to agree. If it was any other modern artist then yea James definitely kills it, the voice+emotion is on point. No one sings Sia's songs better than Sia however. She is on another level than any modern artist IMO.
THIS GUY TONE IS JUST FUCKING OFF THE SCORE , WHAT EVER COVER HE DOES HE SELLS THE SONG MORE THEN THE ARTIST... HE REALLY IS A 123 123 123 ...LOVE LOVE THIS MAN
Love James version, he can sing anything! Beautiful voice and we should hear more of James Arthur soon ! New Album and A Tour in May 👍🏻Can't wait! Thanks MTV
Im a grown ass man with a job and responsibilities and this Mo Fo always manages to give me goosebumps ! He sang the S*** out of that ! Brilliant talent
I want to put this out there Yes he did stupid things. He make mistakes. He used a slur. BUT; this kid was catapulted into fame. He's always been open about the fact that he made mistakes in his life and he tried to make up for the fact that he used the slur. Sure, get mad at him and point it out but don't throw all of this away. He has a voice out of millions. He's SO talented. He makes beautiful things. The X-Factor audition got me bawling in seconds. He's so so very talented. Give him a chance to learn.
+La Ro lol of course there are lots of talented people out there ,Iv been listening to music for over 40 years .....Iv heard amazing singers ,but it's not just about the voice .....it's something else ....James has something very different ,it's hard to explain what it is ...I don't even know myself ....his covers are better than the originals and his own songs are like real story's .......The lyrics are insanely good ....Iv just never heard anyone like him ever .....he raps ,sings soul,reggae ,love songs .....he has a real genuine star quality that's so rare ....I don't understand it myself ..😍😘🎸🎈👑😳
I hate how he’s so underrated because he did make mistakes and he knows he did. BUT EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES!!!! But people judge about it and they hate him for it. Nobody’s perfect. We all make mistakes. He’s not the only one.
I've missed hearing his voice.. it's so beautiful cx
Nilimaä x What else would you like to hear him cover?
MTVUKofficial I'd like to hear him do the Chris brown song next.
MTVUKofficial maybe Maroon 5 - Sugar or The Script -Man on a Wire :)
MTVUKofficial Actually I'd rather hear his 2nd album but if that's still a way off then how about The Fray's "How to save a life"
MTVUKofficial Take me to church ❤
I thought noone but Sia can put so much pain and emotion in this Song and hated all the covers but this actuallly made me cry.. Love James so unique and talented.
Abdi Celo This don't even scratch the surface with what he can do
Do One you are right it's too bad that he couldn't shut his mouth according to the comments towards gay people.. :(
Gary Shutup I am over it, I freakin' LOVE James what he did was wrong yes but I think it's also wrong from the label to shut the contract.. Anyway James will find his way..
Abdi Celo Szerettem volna olyan dalt is hallani Tőle ahol NEM SZENVED....mert ez már nekem sok...:-)))))))
Erzsébet Tóth azért van olyan dala amiben nem kínlódik
It drives me insane that such good artists are so damn underated
now its cool to have shitty music without any effort so there. hope it come back the real talent in music.
Yes, it drives me insane that people prefer auto tune
This guy can sing anything and it turns to gold. I've listened to all of his x factor performances constantly over the years. His version of "falling" is insane.
I saw James live in Oxford. The emotion in his voice is incredible. Very intense guy.
Snowbird
How was his life in Oxford?
Definetly one of my favorite voice

MendesArmyyyyy
Most underrated artist
sad truth..
Truth. He surely is most underrated
Berkant Sutcu unfortunately horrific truth
Quite a statement lol I've heard guys who are unreal guitarists and sing amazing and literally no one knows who they are. This guy is making his millions and I'd say far from underrated in comparison to many musicians
Berkant Sutcu hear this and then hear: Kristian Kostov Xfactor Bulgaria
From James's first audition, I knew he was going to win. Every time he sings it makes me want cry. I just discovered his full acoustic album he let out even before he went on factor..
Some of those songs are raw...I mean..raw.
It's pure James Arthur perfection this cover of Sia Chandelier. Breathtaking. It should be on MTV channel.
James is exceptional....
this guy is dope dopest contestant uk xfactor will ever see
Dopemus maximus
When James sings you know it’s a wrap it’s all over
Sia has powerful voice for this song but I love this live version because I can feel more about this song through James' eyes and expression.
Never b4 have I been so attracted to a mans voice... So glad to hear news of his 2nd album.... Missed this voice!!
Cannot express how much I love this guy's voice! James Arthur could go ridiculously far in the music business. He can sing any song and make it his own.
Literally the biggest melt I've ever heard. About as subtle as a kick in the balls.
you can feel it
genius singer is a singer who interpretating a difficult song with an easy way, effortlessly but still good. thats James is!
Went to see him live last year. This guy is one of the most underrated artists ever to grace the uk.
Love it. That voice is pure gold
This cover made me cry... It's amazing how your voice can be so relaxing and painful at the same time for me. Congratulations James. Love you!
Natural Voice
Touches my soul!😩 You can tell he's been hurt so bad at some point in his life. You can hear it in his voice and in every run and riff. Amazing🎤🎶🖤
Every time I hear him sing, you can hear his pain. So freaking talented. Never let a person's mistakes scar their future! Well done James!!!
I can't leave this alone. no matter what else I want to listen to, this takes the biscuit, superb.
He's so good at putting his own touch on covers and making them sound so original. Love this guy.
totally!!
Thanks to MTV for sharing such a GREAT talent "James Arthur". His voice is so captivating... Love this rendition in addition to ALL of his other covers and songs from his album.
Man is the "X" factor🎉thanks for keeping ur authenticity JamesA❤
dayummmm...... i had almost made up my mind that only sia could do that song justice.... now i know one more person who can ......"" seriously is he from planet EARTH!!!!""" amazing truly speechless at the rendition
No one will ever have as great a voice as James. So someone like James is born only once in million years
A unique, gifted artist. I can listen to this guy sing over and over again. Amazing!!!!
Best male vocalist in the world by far. Raw talent. Love him. Deserves so much more recognition.
Loved him since his x factor audition. I love you James!!! So glad to be one of your biggest fan!!!
I had this song on repeat when Sia released it..but then you sang it James and it's like I heard it for the first time ❤
Most underrated cover of this song
5 years passes still very underrated 😔
He's so fucking underrated but 10 times better than anyone today... Besides ed sheeran... Those 2 are the best
couldn't agree more
What you said is so true, man
besides ed sheeran and bruno mars
Rob Lee so true! he deserves way better
Rob Lee Don't forget about Bruno Mars! He's pretty great too
People say fans are only fans because he was on tv... I'm so thankful he went on the x-factor! I would never listen to this amazing talented man today if he didn't sign up for x-factor!
The only time iv ever voted on X factor was for him best votes I ever made bloody amazing so glad we all got to hear his voice xx
I have been listening to James for how long..? 2 years?! He needs more recognition! He can sing so good!
Fabulous singer !
One of, if not , THE best male singer around .

never thought anyone else but shia could ace the song but james takes it to his another level. his talent is beyond anything else
Another amazing cover by James Arthur! He's just brilliant.
how can somebody sing so effortlessly gorgeous.
i love his way of music
holding on for tonight!!!!@
Amazing. His covers are all incredible but his own songs are golden. 'Your voice is worth more than it's weight in gold.'
He has such a stunning and unique voice
Can't expect to hear anything other than the breathtaking, professionalism that James displays here. with it's usual but unusual uniqueness. Heartrending.
Some people are deaf. This is brilliant! Shame on you who put dislikes just because you read some nasty lies in media!
It is about music!
Haven't a clue what all has been in the media but I listen to music and to Sia and this is not either one of those. This is just plain awful musically speaking.
drhouse1100 you are soo stupid its hilarious. James an absolute brilliant singer. Deal with it and dont be a stupid sia fanboy/girl.
drhouse1100 I remember your name you're not interested in music you just hater, have no life,
This man can sing the phonebook, and also cover the most talented singers and their songs. He beats them! ... so so so hauntingly beautiful, everything he sings turns to liquid gold
come on this are the type of artist we all want to listen
he´s so powerfull in every single way his voice the way he feels the lyrics he should be one of the most famous artist worldwide real talent tho!
more pain and emotion in his songs than any other artist these days. the best contestant to come out of the xfactor! pure talent.
To think he just put this together in about half hour as well. He's insane
I want him to sing at my funeral
+Jackie Velas okay, you have the best comment
*hats off*
I'm sure the people who lost their way will cry
coz he is dickhead
That's going be one hell of a booking....."can you make it on the 3rd?: reply..."sorry fully booked" ,"wait got a slot open on the 9th..but needs to be am".."nah, can't get run over then no buses run on sunday"....Also you wont actually get to hear him... :))
One of the most beautiful raw voices...love it!!!
When James cover your song, it isn't yours anymore
Yash Keni agreed!!
well, not here, this is Sia's.
Yea got to agree. If it was any other modern artist then yea James definitely kills it, the voice+emotion is on point. No one sings Sia's songs better than Sia however. She is on another level than any modern artist IMO.
Loic notet was better than sia
jack taylor think the point is he do his own version and do a good one
THIS GUY TONE IS JUST FUCKING OFF THE SCORE , WHAT EVER COVER HE DOES HE SELLS THE SONG MORE THEN THE ARTIST... HE REALLY IS A 123 123 123 ...LOVE LOVE THIS MAN
Such an accurate description of him
James Arthur is the best singer on the world . Amazing voice .
Marta Lemańska You are so right, pity UK media do not recognise this. He has amazing talent and an awesome voice.
It´s impossible not to feel with his voice, please keep singing, I need to hear this beauty
Wow this is perfection at its best. Phenomenal vocals. Just breathtaking and beautiful 😍! Love you J. Fan for life! ❤️🇺🇸😘
Love James version, he can sing anything! Beautiful voice and we should hear more of James Arthur soon ! New Album and A Tour in May 👍🏻Can't wait! Thanks MTV
he makes you listen to every lyric of a song and understand every word with his wonderful emotion
I've been grounded for a few days and I'm physically exhausted from not hearing his voice. 😍😍
Many bad things said about him but his voice is something else!
Smooth, loud it's all good
He connects to the emotion of the song so well, because he's lived the story....
Im a grown ass man with a job and responsibilities and this Mo Fo always manages to give me goosebumps ! He sang the S*** out of that ! Brilliant talent
Is it even possible to put so much emotions into a song? He's a true legend.
james makes any song better!
metaphysics anyone? Sure... 👏👏
My no 1 singer in the world
Love this voice love this man
this guy got in his voice all of our deepest, darkness emotions…so so terribly talented💖
I miss him. I know he's made mistakes but damn who hasn't? & he's so underrated:(
James recording second album with Columbia Records . September 2016.
+Marta Lemańska !!!!!! thanks 😊💜
He's voice is so amazing... plus he's one of the best performers on music industry

James Arthur can sing any song and it sounds great!!!
OMG ! His voice moved me the best singer in the world.

James🖤 I can hear him again and again and will never get tired of it🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I want to put this out there
Yes he did stupid things. He make mistakes. He used a slur.
BUT; this kid was catapulted into fame. He's always been open about the fact that he made mistakes in his life and he tried to make up for the fact that he used the slur. Sure, get mad at him and point it out but don't throw all of this away.
He has a voice out of millions. He's SO talented. He makes beautiful things.
The X-Factor audition got me bawling in seconds. He's so so very talented. Give him a chance to learn.
exactly well said
He apologized and is moving on with great music. He can't apologize for the rest of his life. #JArmy
Wtf is a slur?..
eurovisionwtf A word that is used to shame something. A disparaging remark or a slight: quick to take offense at a slur
I still don't know what it was that he done?
his voice has full emotions whenever he sings.
I love James Arther. his voice is Amazing 💕
I could listen to this man all day long..magical
Incredible. The original is nice but this cover just made me fall in love with the song.
best talented musician in the world !
+Luis Zidane (Futbol4Life) homeless mustard?
Again james has done a wonderful job 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😘
Could listen to James all day ❤
He is the most talented man I've ever heard .ever .☺️🎶🎸🎉😊
Then you have never heard Paolo Nutini singing! He and James are both just as amazing to me.
Matt Bellamy

Why the fuck does James Arthur not get the recognition he deserves? He has by far one of the greatest voices in this country!
when the cover is even better than the original, you know he james arthured it.
It's not. James is my favourite male singer but Sia is something else entirely
Thank you James Arthur ,your voice , your Voice improved by decades

James is freakin' amazing. His voice and the way he sings blows my mind!
Your in the zone kid.nice to see you back
