02. James Arthur // Say You Won't Let Go

 

wow at years and years top 20 already

I guess it depends whether or not you can give people a 2nd chance and accept they made a mistake; which judging from twitter and some interviews he has done, he knows he was a complete dick and seems genuinely shocked/ surprised that the song is doing as well as it has. He even said he was lucky it made it into the top 100 let alone going top 10.

 

I'm gay and don't see the point in continuing to dislike someone for comments made 3+ years ago and clearly at a time when he wasn't in a great place - if I did continue to do that, then I'd really be no better than James was at the time it all kicked off.

how many chances do you give someone. he also slept with an underage fan dude 👀

 

((sorry for off topic))

Dark red update for Closer. James up to 2. I'm thinking he could push them to around 0.7 by tonight.

Well technically the fan was 17 and only underage given he was in the states had it happened in the UK then the underage part wouldn't even be a problem

 

I'm not even a fan tbh, but I just don't see the point in people harping on about stuff he clearly regrets over 3 years ago

Before anyone comes at me for comparing the two, I know it's not exactly the same but... Chris Brown begged forgiveness and tried to turn his image around in the couple of years after the Rihanna incident but that good boy image didn't last long once he got radio etc back on side. Fair play to James for actually managing to turn his career around (it is still early days yet though) but if he starts his **** again, I hope he doesn't get a third chance.

I would be all for second chances and i agree it is wonderful to see James turn his career around, at this stage it looks like he has a sizeable hit on his hands which will increase interest in his new album. I would like to believe he has learned from his mistakes and his apologies are genuine, for now i will give him the benefit of the doubt. If he goes down the same road again i would not be happy to have him back in the public eye as when he was bad he was awful, he said too many hurtful and nasty things about a lot of people.

 

I can't at that thing getting another hit :( Hate him and both his Impossible cover /that follow up top 2 single are two of my least favourite songs of all time

I've liked all of James Arthurs singles. Particularly 'Recovery'. Starting to like the new song too

I wish it was Leona getting this second wave of success instead. :( Or Alexandra.

17. Kanye West - Fade

19. Years & Years - Meteorite (From "Bridget Jones's Baby")

59. Professor Green - Back on the Market

 

YES @ 'Fade' being so high :music:

Me too..never say never..btw James did not really have a proper flop or at least a comeback flop unlikely the two women you sayed

I wish it was Leona getting this second wave of success instead. :( Or Alexandra.

 

I'd give anything for it to be Diana (although the fact she doesn't even make music anymore puts her at a *bit* of a disadvantage).

Why are people ignoring the fact that we don't like James Arthur because his music is shit?

 

You'll be asking me to give Jessie J another chance next...

Music is subjective. You are allowed to have that opinion. I loved his first album and am looking forward to the second

Janet Devlin has a single out in a few weeks, she's better then James Arthur

Crank It has jumped to no80 with kworb showing 0-3% jump - has it not been available for a while now??

I'm so happy for James Arthur success. Totally deserved in my opinion, his new song is awesome. :wub:
