I completely disagree. Each week, his is the performance I look forward to the most. Everyone said Leona Lewis was far too boring to be a success but look how successful she's been. With James, I feel so much passion and emotion when he sings. Everyone seems to really like him back stage as do all the other acts and judges. And he's not arrogant like Christopher, he's humble and down to earth which I like. I don't find him boring in the slightest. He could probably sing the phone book and make it sound current, exciting and raw. I find him alot more interesting than phoney maloney. And as much as I really liked Ella and thought she was an incredible singer, I found her slightly boring, but not James. I think he's very current and would make a great artist, he can sing any genre and really pull it off.
