From Mr Credible's Twitter today:

Matt Cardle ‏@matt_cardle_uk
@JamesArthur23 I think you are so talented bro and I really hope you win tonight, but you haven't sold 2 million records... yet...

Matt Cardle ‏@matt_cardle_uk
@JamesArthur23 … you haven't had two Top 10 albums… yet. So disappointed you're slagging off my work and my career.

Matt Cardle ‏@matt_cardle_uk
@JamesArthur23 you're not just slagging me off, but Eg White, Biff Stannard, Steve Booker, and so many other incredible writer producers



Brookstein much?

(Of course Matt hasn't sold two million records either, and his second album may well fall out of the Top 100 today after five weeks. . .)

To put this into context, James did start it by saying his songs weren't good enough to be fair. Whether that was true or not, he should have had a bit more tact.

I assume James had said something to Matt first?

I think it's just Cardle desperately trying to get attention on the day of the Final.

It sounds like James has said something about Matt and he's just responding, his response is fine too, he's not throwing a hissy fit or anything, just saying don't write someone else off before you've sold a record. Fair enough really.

Is it just me who thinks the thread title sounds a bit like innuendo? Especially with the rhyming slang for James name

James seems to get into twitter feuds with everyone, including Digital Spy FMs. He's not very intelligent, his PR should tie his hands.

James started this btw. He really needs to learn some respect. Whatever people think about Matt Cardle, James has not achieved anything in the music industry. His ego seems to be 50 levels above his actual talent level.

Not a fan of Cardle, but he's got a point. James isn't in a position to slag off anyone yet. Let's see what he produces and how well it does first.

James could end up being his own worst enemy.

He needs to grow a thicker skin otherwise he won't last 5 minutes

I think it's been blown out of proportion by the press (as usual). James was saying the male winners haven't done well because they don't get given good albums.

I don't think he meant it personally towards Matt or any other winner for that matter. Maybe James could have put it better, maybe Matt has got the wrong idea but my bets are on it's been misfired by the press.

I don't see anything on James' recent timeline though talking about Matt.

"I think you are so talented bro and I really hope you win tonight" is the most horrible offensive insult I have ever heard in my life.

It hadn't occurred to me, but now you come to mention it...

I hate it when Matt Cardle calls people 'bro' - it just sounds wrong. It will be highly amusing if James manages to outsell and outrank Cardle now. I like Matt, but he really should stay off twitter when he's annoyed about something, he sounds a bit like Steve Brookstein.

If the X-Factor PR machine decided they needed to "do a job" on James instead of Christopher, then they would have a lot easier time at finding the source material to do him.

Anyone following his twitter would realise he comes across as not a very nice person with a rather large ego and a rather thin skin.

But luckily for him the X-Factor PR machine wants him to win, so he will.

Problem with James is that he thinks he's there already.

I guess Matt saw it as an insult against not only him but the whole team he works with. People that James may end up working with in future. Awkward.

James obviously hasn't thought it through, and as Matt pointed out, James has yet to have any musical success, let alone be in a position to criticise a fellow musician. I think sometimes people using twitter forget that it's not a private text message they are sending.

I don't think Matt comes off bitter at all.

James came off an arse when he originally started the "feud".

Very awkward - and he wasn't just slagging Matt and his team, but also the other male winners. He talks about statistics in the Star article - has he seen Shayne Ward's sales figures - he's rather ignorant about the real position.

James Arthur is a douche.

He's a time bomb. If he is successful after X Factor, this pathetic attitude of his will be his downfall.

To be fair also, Joe is pretty successful. He left pop music and for the type of albums he's creating now, he's been extremely successful. In the past year he's had 2 top 10 albums.
