Mumsnet Talk

I haven't been watching the whole thing but a friend sent me a link of James Arthur on YouTube, and I'm now officially waiting outside his dressing room with my pants down a fan. Anyone else? DP laughed when I told him. Is he fanciable or am I hormonal?

I don't fancy him but i do think he is wonderful and i want him to win.

Strangely yes. No idea why. But yes. I certainly would.

YES! He is fanciable. When he sings I melt. When not singing, not so much. it's his epic voice, it has magic powers.

Good god no. He always looks like he needs a jolly good wash.

He has lost his way to the laundrette and public baths.

definitely fanciable, especially when he plays/sings.

he's very tall and broad. i like tall and broad.

And the dentist LineRunner.

No. He looks like Sloth from The Goonies.

Sleepy my colleagues have been calling him that for weeks!

I think he's absolutely lovely, his eyes are amazing. I definitely would

he looks a bit of a miserable git.

notice he lost the grandad specs fairly early on. i reckon, if you bumped into him in the pub youd not look twice, fame is a quite the aphrodisiac.

but i wouldnt. nah.

i did used to find jarvis cocker massively attractive though so what do i know?

You must be mad . His voice is ok but he looks like the lead singer of the Pogues with his tatts on fingers and those grim teeth.
Listen to him with your eyes closed is my recommendation, or use lots of Dettol to bleach your eyes

Yes he has the SE X Factor, don't like the tats on hands but would not care as where they would be I wouldn't be able to see them.

i like the tatted hands

He is a v good singer though, for sure.

I was certain that he would have undergone a little but if cosmetic dentistry work but it doesn't look it!

Good singer but not a patch on Jahmene's talent imo !,

I think he's got a bit of a young Elvis look about him. Have I just made myself sound about 70?

Ummm......I'm not sure about Jahmene's voice... I know its technically acrobatic and moving in a dusty Springfield kind of way but it doesn't make me go all wobbly like when James sings..he's a very emotive performer and very male, grrr i like that. its something jahmene lacks

<runs>

Ooooh yes
I would
Twice
And once more for good luck

Deffo something about him

I agree with chestnuts I'm finding Jahmene a bit blah now tbh and don't think he has nearly as much talent as song writing, guitar playing, rapping and singing James Arthur. Don't care who wins though because JA has enough talent to not need to.

Yes, definitely fanciable. I've always had slightly odd taste in men though

Totes agree with chestnuts and strawberry.

Jahmene is not as roundly talented as James. James can play the guitar and piano, he can rearrange songs and 'make them his own' so well.
Plus, even though it's technically good, the sound of Jahmene's voice is just not pleasing to mine ear. Whereas James-Eyelashes-Arthur has a voice of...not to sound over the top...liquid gold..and its manly, as someone has already said. Swoon. He can sing 'Let's Get It On' or 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' to me any time, I would happily take a running jump into his bed. What a way to be seduced!

yes chestnuts. it's that GRRRRyy maleness james has.

someone upthread said you wouldn't fancy him if you saw him in a pub. if he had his granda glasses on i would.

Well put porkus
