It was only a matter of time he is the new Steve Brookstien....... dont mess with Syco, you wont win. If they can make you they can squash you like a fly.
Dont wanna state the obvious but if you dont want controlling by record labels, press officers, media etc etc dont go on X Factor. Do it the hard way!
I can't blame them. It's only the most incident in a fairly long list, but:
"The new song, Follow The Leader, features lyrics in which James raps 'I'm gonna blow up your family like I'm a terrorist'"
....What on Earth is wrong with him?!
I wouldn't be surprised if Cowell's team leaked this to the press so that Cowell wouldn't be criticised for dropping him. It doesn't matter though, because did he honestly think that Cowell's team would allow such controversial lyrics in his song? These are the sort of lyrics that only the most outrageous bands use. Sigh... What an absolute and utter fool.

SC leaked this as fast as he could, no doubt about that.
James might have had a small chance with another label had this been his first controversy, but it's not. He has no filter, is seen as homophobe, gets into stupid twitter and other arguments with his peers. And he doesn't have the talent or background to back this all up.
He has a very good voice but a bad attitude. He thinks he is bigger than he is. You can't be alternative and go on mainstream pap like the X Factor. Back to the bedsit in Saltburn?

Looks like he's destroyed what could have been a nice career for himself.
If it's confirmed by Cowell then I have little sympathy for Arthur.
He seemed incapable of the handling the fact that everyone didn't fall at his feet and fawn over him as the next big thing so lashed out left, right and centre.
I suspect he'll be signed by some random indie label though as they'll probably want to score some cheap PR points.

And the same fate as Shayne Ward too who keeps on hinting on twitter that hes on the verge of a career comeback but never happens...

It'll likely be a label that has some quite controversial artists. Honestly though, what an idiot.
I don't get James Arthur now, when he apologized on the X Factor stage, you would think he would keep his head down after that and just focus on staying out of trouble for a year at least and people do quickly forget in general.
But to do it yet again and now he has been dropped. Staggering really, he has had the best opportunity he will ever get in his life. Now in a few years time he could be back to the bed sit again.
I don't understand, surely you would try everything to make sure you never go back to that sort of life if you get to the level has got to by winning the X Factor and trying everything you can to make as much money as possible.

So what is "terrorism"? Is it the drones, "shock and awe" bombing of Iraq? Maybe it's the torture of men at Gitmo? James Arthur needs to say

I knew he'd wade in.:D
I think James Arthur has issues that meant wrecking his own career was inevitable, unfortunately.

Anyone surprised? Bloke seemed to want to self destruct very quickly.

Well, with lyrical genius like that, the world is his oyster, surely?
What next?: 'I'm going to kill you: Like a murderer'.
A veritable wordsmith and a genius.

Agreed. It's a downright shame that we may miss out on more gems like this from the leading songwriter of his generation.
Indeed.
