Unless it's a been a massive album, Syco are more bothered about single sales and he underperformed on that front thankfully.

I got put off him with the sleeping on the streets story, the fact every judge said they could hear his 'pain' and reuniting his family with his audition #awwwhataspecialpersoncrap. You should have heard my pain in listening to a voice that sounds like it always has a sore throat and wailing that is devoid of emotion.

 

 

This.

What's the source for him being dropped?

If he has been dropped I don't think it's because of his album sales as his album sold quite decently and Your Nobody Till Somebody Loves You would have got to Number 1 if it wasn't for Royals . It's probably because of all of the controverarsy that surrounded him towards the end of last year. It's a shame really as he had the potential to be the most successful Male X Factor Winner ever but he ruined it for himself.

I genuinely thought he was going to release his duet with Emeli Sande and it was going to be a smash.

With all his slagging about Matt Cardle, Matt has achieved higher sales with his debut album and Matt had far less press coverage than James. I would be happy to never hear or see from James Arthur again, the complete lack of respect he has for people is disgusting.

THIS, THIS AND MORE THIS. I was completely baffled to Google "Ella Henderson" and to find she was on X-Factor the same year as he was yet he got to the final over her?! Crazy stuff!
