Education, moving to Bahrain and back to England Īrthur first went to Ings Farm Primary School in Redcar, North Yorkshire. Īt the age of 14, Arthur entered part-time voluntary foster care: he lived with his father, Neil, for three days of the week and was in foster care in Brotton – about ten miles from Redcar – for the other four days. Arthur's dad and mother split up when he was two years old, and they each settled with new partners: when Arthur was three, Shirley got together with Ronnie Rafferty, a computer engineer, and Neil later married another woman together they had Arthur's half-sister. Neil was a delivery driver, but also used to be a DJ and drummer for many years, while Shirley was a fashion model and later a sales and marketing professional.
JAMES ARTHUR IMPOSSIBLE LIVE SERIES
After the release of his debut studio album James Arthur, he was involved in a series of controversies which led iTunes to offer refunds for the album. The album debuted and peaked at number two on the UK Albums Chart. He released his self-titled debut studio album in November 2013. The follow-up single, " You're Nobody 'til Somebody Loves You", reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart.


Since then, it has gone on to sell over 2.5 million copies worldwide, making it the most successful winner's single in the show's history. His debut single, a cover of Shontelle's " Impossible", was released by Syco Music after the final, and debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart. He rose to fame after winning the ninth series of The X Factor in 2012. Definitely a better song choice than Little Mix’s Cannonball and maybe, just maybe, James won’t be too embarrassed to put it on his debut album.James Arthur (born 2 March 1988) is an English singer and songwriter. Thanks to his guttural vocals in the song’s final minute, James manages to make the song his own and hit you with some emotion.
JAMES ARTHUR IMPOSSIBLE LIVE FULL
Lyrically the song is a classic tale of heartbreak but with the weighty vocal from James it’s transformed into a story full of pain and determination summing up his story perfectly. Having listened to him perform it twice on The X Factor final last night, and now having heard the studio version, it’s clear it was actually a pretty good choice for him. When we first heard that was his song we were a little bit worried as it hardly seemed like an ideal fit. The inevitable winner’s single is now upon us and James has been given Impossible, a song that was originally a hit for Shontelle in 2010. Thankfully the public saw sense and picked him over the off-key warblings of Jahmene. Sadly that almost got lost in the faff that was this year’s show when he ended up in the bottom two a few weeks back. He’s actually very talented and possesses a voice that is well beyond his years. Truth be told we feel pretty sorry for James. Despite all the headlines and the ‘second chance saloon’ feel of the contestants, viewers still cared enough to vote for a worthy winner in the shape of James Arthur. From bickering judges and declining ratings through to Christopher Maloney making the final and Ella Henderson leaving way too early, the show looks like it’s in quite a lot of trouble. The X Factor has been a bit of a wash-out this year we think it’s fair to say.
