To have a crush on James Arthur

Beat some sense into me, I’ve also started following him on Instagram, this is a big deal for me as I don’t even have Facebook!
I loved his voice on X factor years ago, thought he was pig ugly then though 😂

I don’t think he’s attractive but love his music, he’s great live (seem 4 times now) and met him last year - he was really friendly and fantastic with my DD (then 5).

@McWilder - your post made me actually laugh out loud. It's so spot on. That is EXACTLY what he sounds like.

Jimdandy · 03/03/2019 09:21

He looks like he has a stinky cheesey willy

RedRiverShore · 03/03/2019 09:33

He does look a bit grubby but sometimes that can be the appeal Grin

Eliza9917 · 03/03/2019 09:56

Why are these comments on his looks acceptable but as soon as someone posts a thread about a woman, take Meghan Markle for example, all the comments against her are slagged off and put down as jealousy? And loads of ppl trot out all the outraged and 'this is unacceptable' comments?

For what it's worth, I don't find James Arthur attractive and mm is an insincere fake minger imo.

They aren't.

This photo of him always tickles me.

Wow four pages! He has changed, teeth, nose job, partial personality transplant Grin he is so much more humble now and I love his voice. It seems IABU - still would shag him though Grin

I don't like him at all. One of those people I don't get a good vibe from, like James Corden. His voice is horrid. And he looks like he could do with a good wash.

Nursejackie1 · 03/03/2019 16:02

I can't stand his sloppy slovenly singing. He cant be bothered to pronounce full words. I switch radio stations if he comes on as it seriously winds me up. He ruins perfectly good songs!

HeresMe · 03/03/2019 16:09

I don't get any of it he sounds like a drunk working man's singer, he can't sing for shit, he has a huge chip on his shoulder. Another talentless singer from the production line of reality tv

'humble' he's never been humble.

FourForYouGlenCoco · 03/03/2019 16:21

Can’t believe all the James Arthur hate on here! I’m totally with you OP, I think he’s lush in a skanky sort of way. Have done since he was on X factor, dodgy teeth and all. I like a bit of rough and am a sucker for a dirty indie-boy type. He looks like he’d show you a good time, fuck with your emotions and then leave you with a dose of the clap and a broken heart. Not what you’d want in a life partner, but as a guilty pleasure/one night stand, sign me the fuck up Grin

surferjet · 03/03/2019 16:24

He’s gorgeous.
I can’t understand all the hate either?
He wouldn’t look twice at any of us I know but I still think he’s lovely 😀

BarryTheKestrel · 03/03/2019 16:33

GlenCoCo I totally agree with everything you said. 😂

TinklyLittleLaugh · 03/03/2019 16:37

Hmm, having done bit of googling he has a certain dirty rough boy charm. He’s like one of the boys I discourage gullible DD from dating though. Grin

TinklyLittleLaugh · 03/03/2019 16:38

And he’s a big lad isn’t he? I always find that quite attractive.

surferjet · 03/03/2019 16:41

Big in what way? < childish giggle >

RavenLG · 03/03/2019 16:45

partial personality transplant grin he is so much more humble now
Humble, but a homophobic, racist p.o.s
Vile human

ChipInTheSugar · 03/03/2019 17:06

I yell "ENUNCIATE!" at the radio whenever his songs are played. Does my head in Angry

liverbird10 · 03/03/2019 17:16

OP, to each her own... however, you are bonkers. Grin

rockingthelook · 03/03/2019 17:54

In our house if you mention James Arthur it is the law that you also say in the same sentence 'Needs a good wash !'

peachgreen · 03/03/2019 19:01

@Eliza9917 what on earth has Meghan got to do with this thread? You ought to be careful. Your agenda is showing. Hmm

Ellieboolou27 · 03/03/2019 19:08

Is it because of his tats that everyone assumes his dirty? I like a bit of dirty though - still love him even if majority rule IAU
And yes his 6ft 2 - can’t account for his shoe size though Grin

I'd do him OP Grin. He looks like he would be filthy in bed, then skin a big fat joint up afterwards.

These days I would prefer a cuppa and maybe a shortbread or two but back in the day I would have totally gone for him. It's nice to see someone who had it tough as a young lad to be successful too. I think when he auditioned for x factor he was living in a bed sit and had just left care? He's not done too bad for himself really.
