A video of him jamming with a friend and playing a bit of Stevie Wonder - it really suits him!

Also, I was looking through twitter earlier and noticed that Gary Barlow had unfollowed him. And had also unfollowed Craig, despite saying live on TV that anything Craig needed from him he only need ask, or something to that effect... On the plus side, at least that means there's no chance of James ever being forced to sing something as awful as Run For Your Life.

He's uploaded a new youtube video of him learning a new song and experimenting with a loop pedal ad some beatboxing(!). It's good though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1aNr-r2v_0

All sounds very promising, he may even have a music and modeling career.

Article from the Liverpool Echo:

He's also live-streaming a small acoustic gig through twitcam tonight at about 8.

Here's the twitcam gig from last night, he starts a couple of minutes in: http://twitcam.livestream.com/88dpn

I just watched it now and, from memory, I think he sings Make You Feel My Love, First Cut Is The Deepest, Wake Me Up, You Give Me Something, Skinny Love and I Won't Let You Go. So nothing new. Also the sound quality isn't great but it's still worth a watch.

Thanks, I hadn't noticed that. All the others from the final group, including the ones that aren't on the tour, are still signed to the management company (http://industrymusicgroup.co.uk/music/) so he must have terminated the contract rather than it lapsing. I think it's a good thing that he's doing things his own way rather than relying on the X Factor management team to do it for him. They have quite a patchy record... In fact for every non-finalist they've been pretty terrible.

Here are some pictures from his gig on Friday:

He's having a photoshoot with photographer Jack Alexander today (http://jackalexander.carbonmade.com/). Don't know why, but I hope the photos are as good as his last shoot.

Here's the first picture released from his new photoshoot https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...77124540_n.jpg Don't know when the rest are coming out.

Also, he played the half-time slot at the Widnes Vikings Rugby match last week to about 13,000 people.
