Holly Johnson wasn't exactly praising James' version of Power of Love. Nor were fellow renowned musicians Marc Almond and Tracy Thorn.

20. He's the best of this year's bunch, so it's his to lose.

These people are not relevant to chart success today.

21. He's sexy and he knows it

22. so someone who has been in the bottom 2 has actually won!! fed up with that stigma

23. you can feel the emotions when he's singing.

23- lovely eyes
24- had a go at Frankie Boil
25- LOVE his twist on some of the songs he's covered

26. he's got bad teeth.
By winning he can afford to have some dental treatment.

Miss Balding, is that you?

27. He might have some degree of sucess after X Factor, because his style is popular right now. People aren't to going to buy Maloney's stuff and Jahmene is sweet but too one-note. That note is the screeching!

Issuesssssssssssss. You seem to say something negative in almost every James Arthur page. It is hilarious. Bless.

27. Because he already has his downloads available on Amazon. Tick.

28. He plays the guitar and the piano.

29. Above all, he is a talent that the UK should embrace, not disgrace.

a-ha... i like that last one!!

Hehe. Thank you. Thought you would.

30. He seems to have changed the opinions of some on digital spy. Progress.

Cue hundreds of comments...Not me, hate him. Never liked him, never will. Fair enough.

Artists are there to divide opinion and on occasions, change them...

He should win if more people vote for him than either of the others. Can't think of any other reason.

31. Wanky Boyle hates him so that's good enough for me.

32. Because the runner ups do better

33 Because he's the best of a very weak bunch.

Other than that he's a lumbering, unpleasant looking average singer who thinks he's better than he is. The only reason people are calling him credible is because he's a bit of rough with tatoos. Pathetic really

O yes! Over and over, whatever the song, you can feel his emotion! The same emotion. Whatever the song.

Funnily enough you don't get any emotion from him when he is interviewed. He just seems bored and flat. I guess he saves it all up for his singing.

Very true

34. He's got lovely eyelashes.

35. Because he is HOT! There, I said it!

I second this so much.

36. He'll be able to afford colonic irrigation.

37. Because he's the next Steve Brookstein, and wholey deserves to follow in the great footsteps of him, Joe McElderry and the guy that wore that hat.

What demographic is he marketable to?

Sorry, Can't Think Of Any!!! He's sooo crap

The only emotion I ever feel is anger and disappointment. Anger at the act he is awful and whi us he there and disappointment at the fact that the judges seem to have put their ear plugs in and go on auto pilot with their over praising.

*tumbleweed*
