If Matt had said something like that during the show he would have been hung, drawn and quartered on here, let's face it.

He didn't but only because he was BES (before Ed Sheeran). Urban acoustic is where it's at now mate! Matt was born too soon. Current or not, I still predict cardlesque album sales for tubby Arthur though.

I'm not going to criticise James or Matt for interviews because the press and journalists might exaggerate what they said in interviews. Unless they say it in a spoken interview on camera then I'm going to take it with a pinch of salt.

Matt has managed to sell 34,000 copies of The Fire and without the luxury of promoting the album on X Factor. Not bad for an Indie label. What are the figures for Little Mix? His record company were happy to keep him as a song writer, but Matt walked away in order to produce his own album allowing him total control. It is not in the interest of the major record companies for him to succeed. When he was on X Factor, Rhianna requested to perform with him. With regards James Arthur, who is dueting with him in the final? What are their record sales and more importantly what is their long term history? Are they an International Act or just breaking through?

Jake bugg who achieved a no 1 album recently ..last time i looked had only 30,000 followers..this may have increased by now People follow x factor acts because of there so called celeb status at the time of the show . This goes for matt as well as james and orher acts that come from x factor ..it does not always translate into sales .although overall it not a bad thing |

He was promoted during the X Factor Saturday night broadcast though with prime time adverts. That's expensive promotion and unusual for an "Indie" performer. It didn't make any difference it seems. His fan base obviously is small and rapidly getting smaller.

Yes but that was just wishful thinking on the part of cardle's fans. Labrinth has met James and don't forget he invited him on stage at his gig. I may be wrong, we'll just have to wait and see. Also I don't think James has ever called himself credible.

Labrinth works for Cowell for God's sake and James is Cowell's favourite.

Matt Cardle is an utter failure. I remember his fans on here saying he would be the next big thing and he has tanked. Thank God- he was dull as shit.
James will go the same way. |

It does indeed. It also kind of undermines one's glowing reference to the other though, don't you think?

![]() So tell me, who were Columbia gonna have Matt (who's writing skills they had so much faith in they brought in co-writers to write his album) writing for? Bruce Springsteen? Beyonce? Billy Joel perhaps? Oh deary me. That's just utterly, butterly tremendous!
