The X Factor UK 2012 - James Arthur's audition (Young - cover)

Back when swag was a cool word... Amazing version.

So much pain in his voice 😭 love him

One of the greatest things I’ve ever seen on tv.
The poor bugger was living in a bed sit with fuck all and then his life changed forever.

James Arthur made Tulisa's song famous 😂

This interpretation is a masterpiece, im a 24 year guy and i have a decent work, im supportive with my family, im happy with my present but i’ve broken so many girls heart, and these girls only remember all the bad things but i just remember the great and happy times with these girls its like i deleted from my conscience all the bad moments i put them through. Listening to James Arthur the way he sings just put me in tears everytime.

Muito bom não canso de assistir esse vídeo

oh my......

His voice is so amazing ❤️

Does anyone know if this song/version is on Spotify?

A star is born....

she should have just left. She stayed there with the most awkward smile on her face 😂😂😂

Should of kept this rugged look and swag

Is this on Apple Music? Can’t find it

Wow that is a guy with a lot of pain.

Hardly ever do they bring any emotion. This is so authentic. Compare to this every single time now some female vocal is done slowly over a grunge track or whatever….

I honestly cry every time I listen to this.

...and then I listen to the original and also cry, but for a different reason.

Still the best X-Factor audition ever

And he won the show on his first audition.

C'est ce qu'on appel sortir ces tripes, quand certain ce pointe aux auditions les mains dans les poches, lui il a tout donné, respect !

Bruh killed this shit.....dead. Deceased. Murdered. Murked. 86d.

This song is fantastic well done James amazing

God its been like 10 years and I still can't get over the performance.

the fact that his divorced parents gather just to support him for this .☺️

Im young forgive me I live fast die a legend!!! Ohhhhiiiinnneeee🎵🎵🎵

Who feels it?? He sung this song for his parents! Telling them I forgive you for giving me birth! They've been too immature and young.

I really don’t know what to say, this audition was a soul release. Actually it brought me tears 🙌🏽 this was just brilliant

Its 2023 I just heard Emily and I don't know how I ended up here 😳😳😳

I wish he would make an album cover of this song

Better than Tulisa ❤

Unfortunately he’s now over produced and didn’t listen to Gary who’s seen the industry for the rapist it is

NEVER GETS OLD. Still my favorite artist. Goosebumps every single time! I love him!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

One of the best auditions (if not the best) ever. Imo.

The man made me watch the original

❤❤❤Damn! Still OUTRAGEOUS in SEPT 2023❤❤❤

This is James' song now, sorry Tulisa.

2023 still here and we miss tulisa as a judge

"I'm doing one of Talisa's songs" - "Have you ever heard an acoustic version of this song" - "which song"... is what should have been said, as opposed to "no". I do so very much want to believe this is the first time they have heard this, but in truth understand why it's not.

It’s almost like he’s singing to his parents that he went for his dream and tough he may be jobless he went for it when he was young and forgive him but look how much progress he made in his room developing this talent and now he’s about to show the world. It’s beautiful.

Average voice

He didn’t sing that song. He performed it

It’s a very nice arrangement of the song makes the lyrics more powerful.

Sorry but this is average at best .. 🤷‍♂️

Shame the x-factor is no more as it did bring us a lot stars over the years.

James Arthur is absolutely touching and powerful. His version gives me chills.

❤❤

His best performance really.

Damn that hit hard 2024 … Forgive us where young all of us ❤️

This will never get old ❤

What has happened to him? Where is he now?

Still a banger
