    James is a fucking legend. Feel like he’s been misunderstood for years now. Great for him to get the opportunity to explain his journey. Hopefully people understand him more now.

    Had to watch No More Dramas , X Factor performance and watching it now knowing he was having/brewing a panic attack is shocking - ive had them and ive helped students with theirs its astounding to me that James performed the way he did , but with the amount of emotion he exudes in that (& all his performances) it seems thats how he coped channelling the attack/s. Hes one of a kind so proud hes survived and seems to be doing ok now.❤

    I have to say his X factor audition blew my mind, I still watch it to this day, it was awesome. I’ve been a fan ever since, he is massively underrated, he doesn’t have the media to support him enough.

    The thing that seperates James from other 'Celebrities' is the fact that he is humble. Don't ever doubt yourself James cos you are head and shoulders above so many. Don't ever lose yourself darling, we love you for your music but also for who you are. Sending ☮️ and 💓 from the UK 🇬🇧 EDIT: Please stop interrupting James..He was talking about his step-father and opening up and you jumped in and started talking about YOU. Now that moment for James,has gone.

    No, I think that (around 14:35) James realised that he was on the brink of telling too much & talking about living people, and actually didn't want to go there really, and that the interviewer saw that in his face, in his sudden panic, and jumped in, to sort of save him out of the falling into that step too far. Yk, in the contrary, I think that this Jamie, who I didn't know from Adam b4 clicking on this interview, is actually very sensitive and does in fact have the tools -- & experience, apparently -- to emote and make James comfortable enough and feel understood enough to talk in confidence, and giving quite a lot of himself, here actually.

    I KNEW IT.. I just knew that James would be a sound, normal lad. I am so glad I stumbled upon this, as it isn't as that this keep me up at night.. but I do remember seeing BS newspaper articles etc and thinking : 'No, he is just a normal boy being portrayed in an unfair light'. Great Vlog. Real chat. I have even hit the 'like' button!

    James is so honest about how he knew he didn't have that big "out there" flamboyant personality that at times personalities are supposed to have, especially if talented and famous like him. He knows himself well now and doesn't beat himself about it because what he is, is an incredible singer and song writer, and if he is going to be judged he should be judged on that alone. His music can be so heart felt and has helped so many people, and definately a way for him to express his own feelings. Always been a loyal fan from the beginning and always will. Going to see him at the O2 London in March, can't wait.

    After reading James' book, I just wanted to put a motherly arm around him. He is an amazing person. I guess the pain in his voice and songs comes from that young age. He has done wonders. He is one of the very best singer songwriters in the UK. Whats more, he is so humble and forgiving. Brilliant interview. Congrats to you both.

    James proved he is great in interviews here. I think allowing himself beforehand to apologies for any issues during it allowed him to settle into it much better. This guy interviewing was very understanding of that too which also must have helped. Hats off to both of them. This shows James is actually very observant of his past and conscious of it and actually does extremely well of putting it into context when he feels compatible to. Normally that only ever comes in a musical sense. So well done to this interviewer again. I now understand even more why james music is so emotional and the pain in his voice. I admit I didn't like him on the x factor and i cannot explain why because he was great. I think i diskiked his personality. Or potentially maybe i was just abit envious at that age. I cannot say for sure...But definitely maybe that was an issue of my own more than an issue of his. I am the same age as James and at that age i was also very different to how i am now. And also had many equal issues as james in my childhood too. But in a different kind of way...and now i think he is the best musician in the world. I've seen him live multiple times. It's crazy how age makes you change. I think when you are in your late teens /early 20s and dislike somone or somthing i think its best not to hate ...because in years to come your opinion will change.

    I love James Arthur but the man has F**kd himself with too much botox. Jesus nothing moves from his beard to his eyes. He should be a global icon but is stunting himself with almost no way of showing emotion. He needs to stop the injections as its now a brilliant voice on a wax works model. Hopefully he can be a voice with human features soon as this is not easy to watch & is not far off being a bit freakish.
