James Arthur Returns to X-Factor

Viewers were happy that James Arthur returned to X-Factor, but were shocked when he forgot his lyrics. Arthur won the whole show back in 2012.

The singer received a warm welcome from Simon Cowell, who announced that his song "Say You Won't Let Go" is another number one hit made famous by the show. In fact, Simon added, Arthur did things his own way – making him the “comeback kid.”

Arthur’s performance went smoothly until he belted out the wrong lyrics to his own track. It was even pointed out on Twitter by some fans.

James apologized later on Twitter, blaming it all on nerves. In the end, most of the viewers praised Arthur for raising awareness for World Mental Health Day coming up next week, using his performance to help.

After winning in 2012, he had a fallout with the show and was dropped from Cowell’s record label, due to his behavior on Twitter and lyrics. However, the star has grown since then and has apologized for his actions.

The masculine name James is the English version of the Late Latin name Iacomus that was taken from Iakobos, from the New Testament. It was actually the Greek version of the Hebrew name Jacob, which means "supplanter" or "holder of the heel". This is because Jacob, from the Old Testament, was born clutching his twin brother's heel. While others believe that the name Jacob is from the hypothetical name Ya'aqov'el that means “may God protect”. The name James was given to a couple of apostles in the New Testament.
