James came across as a likeable humble guy, voice like honey, loved music, and very good looking. The sort of guy girls would like to shag, and boys would like to hang out with and have a few pints.

Completely baffled as to why Gary ditched him tbh - had so much potential.

James is nothing like Matt though. Even their hats are different.

Yes, he's got a better voice and is a lot more attractive than Frankie.

Anyone would have been....

I'd love it if someone snapped James up and put a single out in time for Christmas.

Why Gary is just folllowing orders..Surprised at him really

To be quite frank, I could have stood on stage, put my hand under my armpit, and made farting noises for 3 minutes and I would have done better than Frankie.

No he would have fallen apart anytime he would be in bottom 2, the guy was not a fighter. Frankie is, and I think thats what Gary loves about him.

He is a survivor

Yet again, year after year we fall for the dull but nice guys who never amount to anything after winning the million dollar contract.:sleep:

He hasn't had to fight so how do you know?

He's been fawned over right from the start.

Joe and Shayne seem to be doing okay.

Not true. Speak for yourself, you're the only one who likes dull.

absolutely

Also, on the Xfactor-updates.com poll (which is the be indicator of the actual vote of any poll i've come across) James was ranked ahead of all 3 other boys & was top 5 overall (week 1). Frankie of course was last among the boys.
