If James had appeared on the show, all smiley and chatty, everyone wouldn've thought he'd hit the happy pills! His whole persona is awkward, mean and moody. Chris is chatty, repeat everything 100 times and grin alot! It does seem they pretty much stuck to their personas!

Seems I'm a bit out of step here!! Although I don't particularly like Chris' singing, I've always thought the amount of vitriol directed towards him is unkind and disproportionate.
However this morning he really irritated me. Constantly repeating what sounded like rehearsed comments about his journey and so on (sounded like a politician)... even when what he was saying was not even in context; jumping in when the question was directed at James and so on. He just seemed to have a massive ego to me. James on the other hand when he could get a word in was eloquent and dignified. I dont think he seemed ungrateful at all. Just to clarify - Id like Jahmane to win because I think hes the best singer - although all three styles are very different. |

Would've been funny to see him appear on Daybreak instead, given how 'bright and friendly' that show is meant to be.

James should have had his done ages ago if he's so nervous about them - I thought in previous series all the contestants had the teeth whitened with lasers and stuff like that?
James sounds like he has a mouthful of sweets when he's talking. |

It's not the colour of his teeth that's the biggest issue, its the shape of them, that needs orthodontic treatment which is not a quick fix. I always wonder, when I see young adults with bad teeth why on earth they didn't get it treated (when it would be free on the NHS!) as a kid. Had I not had mine done, I'd have a couple of teeth in my gums still.

If you watch the interviews that union j have had, they will say that Christopher tends to keep to himself a lot, not because he is ignorant but they think its because he is so much older than the others and they have no common ground. That to me makes a lot of sense.
Sorry edited to add, saw this happen a lot on the classes I taught in college, older students keeping to themselves because they did not fit in the with young and cool, its really common |

And I am not a fan of any of the X Factor people. There was only one winner for me and that is Joe McElderry. |

All three were on ITV today and they were the same, James seem pretty pissed off.

But it isn't just a singing contest, PR is a big part of being a pop star and James just didn't make the effort in either interview, today or yesterday, he just looked so miserable. I'm sick of his high and mighty "I'm credible (somehow having a guitar makes you credible now) so I'm better than this" attitude. FWIW I can't stand his singing either, he just mumbles through songs.

To be fair, I saw the Daybreak interview this morning and the three guys were outside in the freezing cold and there was some sort of delay on the line so none of them came across particularly well but not sure they should be judged on this interview

Any semblance that this is supposed to be a singing competition is blown up by comments like this.

But did James even try? He could have spoken up if he had tried harder!
And I am not a fan of any of the X Factor people. There was only one winner for me and that is Joe McElderry. I've not really been impressed with any of the past winners, I love James though, to quote Cole "he's right up my street" I'd rather him not win though!

Blimey, James's body language could not have been any more hostile!

Chris wasn't being rude, he was genuinely excited and happy to be there, unlike James appeared to be. I think he spoke more because he was conscious of James' one word answers and avoiding awkward silences.

I find Chris to have a much better vocal than James, & is easily the more likeable out of the two.

Why is he a charlatan and what is there to expose?

I felt that James spoke when spoken to and when Christopher was asked a question he let him answer, Chris on the other hand jumped in at every opportunity, I found that quite rude but its just my opinion.
I've not really been impressed with any of the past winners, I love James though, to quote Cole "he's right up my street" I'd rather him not win though!I like James. He is my sort of music. To me he comes across as introverted not arrogant. (I've been called confident or aloof myself when really I'm just shy )
