Did you hear the "Lets Go" at 2:51? 😂

[@MOYCHARLY]

Best part 😂😂😂 i had to go back twice to hear this

[@user-tw3ni1qn9s]

LMAO SAME@@MOYCHARLY

[@user-bf5dr5xu3e]

Damm the timeing better than James arthur

[@Yu05Cat]

probably the most underrated vocalist in the UK,not only....King Arthur James

[@JakeWhitelaw]

He is phenomenal. Best singer of 2024 by far.

[@JakeWhitelaw]

I can't help but think there is some weird effect on his mic though, he doesn't sound like that. He sounds like he's singing through a tube or something.

[@jortepap]

yep. this has autotune/pitch correction 🤢Completely ruins it.

[@margaretdevine7322]

Why isn’t his speaking voice affected then?

[@jortepap]

@@margaretdevine7322 because they probably added it afterwards, for the video. You can CLEARLY hear it in the singing 👎

[@JakeWhitelaw]

@@margaretdevine7322 Either they edited the sound after the video was taken, or they just switched the effects off his mic once the song was over? Singers do it all the time, it's not a bad thing, but I'm saying James doesn't need it lol. He's better than that.

[@braca977]

From that Xfactor audition to this moment! OMG...some would say it's impossible ❤

[@standler5]

It's called TALENT 😊

[@markperkins9437]

Mmm-mmm
I remember, years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love, I did
And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot, I did
And now
When all is done, there is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won, you can go ahead, tell them
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be impossible
Impossible
Impossible
Impossible
Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worse
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know
And thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know
I know and now
When all is done, there is nothing to say
And if you're done with embarrassing me
On your own, you can go ahead, tell them
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be impossible
Impossible
Impossible
Impossible
I remember, years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
Oh, hoped would be impossible
Impossible (impossible)
Impossible (impossible)
(Impossible)
impossible
(Impossible) impossible
(Impossible)
Impossible

[@user-tw3ni1qn9s]

i wish i could sing 🥲

[@julians478]

Warscheinlich war es tontechnisch nicht anders umsetzbar, aber die 2000 Menschen im Saal, welche z.B. ab 0:55 oder 1:17 gemeinsam den Chorus gesungen haben, brachten deutlich mehr Emotionen rüber, als du nun verwendete Backgroundstimme, die es gar nicht so wirklich gab ;)
Dennoch noch einmal Danke für dieses einmalige Konzerterlebnis und das Video zur Erinnerung :)

[@ChannelAid]

Leider haben es die Mikrofone die uns im Saal zur Verfügung gestellt wurden in der Aufzeichnung leider nicht hergegeben.

[@mochammadridho7687]

I didn’t know until this day that shontelle is the original singer who sing this song not james arthur, yeah im pretty sad I know 😂

[@user-pw6nf4wr1q]

「Impossible」…何十回も聴いて知ってるけど、［音楽サイト］こういうVersion（アコギとか）をも少し有ればなぁ…😯

[@steliodegrasse5905]

Not yet. Lol

Te pedí que te cases conmigo?

[@nikolanikolic5180]

1 tone and half down..cant compare to live agt performance..day and night

[@jortepap]

this has autotune/pitch correction.
Soo fake compared to his raw 2013 performances🤦🏻‍♂️ please James .... QUIT that shit.

[@brfnn.]

James or his team didn't edit it.

[@jortepap]

@@brfnn. well who knows.. he used pitch correction in almost ALL his acoustic live videos for social media (filmed at home) the last few years.

[@brfnn.]

@@jortepap I heard him live. He sounds the same

[@jortepap]

@@brfnn. I'm not saying he isn't an incredible singer. That's not the point.

[@kennethowen2018]

@@jortepap perhaps you should go and support other artists who sing ‘live’ and are so perfect to you. James you are perfect to your fans, well done!
