X Factor 2009 finalist Jamie ‘Afro’ Archer will be releasing his debut single Insanity on iTunes tomorrow (27.06.2011) with his band ‘ARCHER’ consisting of his brother Stephen Archer and friend Anthony Reed.
Jamie and the band have been away for 18 months writing and recording a so-far untitled album of original material, which is due out later this year. Their single and album will be released independently.
Outgoing X Factor singer Jamie Archer has admitted that he was sexually frustrated whilst on the show. That can’t have been helped by his obvious crush on judge, Charyl Cole.
Archer told the Daily Star: “Without doubt she is the most beautiful woman in the world. I have always had a thing about Cheryl. I think she is absolutely stunning. And let me tell you, she’s even better in real life.”
Jamie Archer has admitted that it’s not all bad to be kicked off The X Factor, because at least now he’ll be able to have sex!
Under Simon Cowell’s dictatorship, none of the X Factor hopefuls are allowed to have sex whilst on the show and are expected to adhere to an 8.30pm curfew. Jamie has been dating Kandy Rain’s Coco Lloyd and revealed that his first thoughts were of her when he was told he was voted off the show.
Pals of outgoing X Factor singer Jamie Archer have claimed that Simon Cowell purposely sacrificed him on last week’s show.
In an interview with The Mirror a close friend of the singer said: “The whole show is being made a mockery of. Simon was the only judge with all three acts left – he knew he had to lose someone this week and so he offered up Jamie.
“It doesn’t take a genius to see how he did it. He stuck him first on the bill which is the worst place to be. He made sure he dressed him in dark clothing so it all looked very drab with no colour.
Jamie Archer has admitted that he occasionally felt “demoralised” whilst taking part in The X Factor.
Jamie was voted off the show last night after singing for survival against 16 year old Lloyd Daniels. He told the Press Association that constant battles over his song choices made him realise that his “journey had come to an end”.
In the third terrible result of the series Jamie Archer has been voted off the X Factor.
As Jedward sailed through to the next week, Jamie found himself in the bottom two with young Lloyd Daniels. Before the pair even sang their final song, Louis Walsh made it clear that he would be saving Lloyd because he has more ‘potential and appeal’. In effect it didn’t matter how Jamie sang ‘The Show Must Go On’, because Louis’ vote for Lloyd and Dannii’s subsequent decision to vote for the actual best singer, forced the show to deadlock. The public vote was consulted and Jamie Afro was sent home.
Simon almost predicted the result earlier today. At this point I must agree with Leona Lewis. X Factor is no longer about the singing, it is a mere soap opera.
So we just brought you Jamie and Danyl’s attempt at a live lounge performance. The whole thing seemed incredibly contrived and Danyl wouldn’t get his big cheesy mug away from the camera. We get it Dan, you’re a happy go lucky kind of fellow, who gets along with everybody. Point made!
According to the Sun newspaper today, Jamie ‘Afro’ Archer is threatening to leave The X Factor following another row with his mentor, Simon Cowell.
The paper claims that rockers Bon Jovi were so impressed by Jamie when they heard him sing last week, that they invited him to tour with them as a support act, however, it appears Simon refused to allow Jamie to go, claiming he was contracted to the show.
This latest row follows a bust-up Simon and Jamie allegedly had a couple of weeks ago when Simon insisted that Jamie change his song choice just hours before the show.
The paper quotes a source who’s close to Jamie as saying, “Jamie’s fed up with the competition and how Simon is treating him.
“He was on the verge of quitting at the weekend because he was so angry at being given rubbish songs and some judges’ comments. He hasn’t forgiven Simon for changing his song… Read more & comment »
When watching Jamie Archer belt out ‘Get Your Rocks Off’ on X Factor last night, one would never have guessed that he has been frantic with worry over his ill dad.
Jamie’s Dad William has lived in Guyana since he split with Jamie’s mum in 1980, however he returned to London earlier this year to be treated for kidney failure. Jamie is regularly given time off from X factor duties to visit his ill dad.
A source told The Sunday Mirror:
X Factor singer Jamie Archer, has admitted that he lost confidence after performing on the show’s Big Band week.
Simon Cowell changed Jamie’s song just 24 hours before the live show, a decision which reportedly caused trouble between the pair.
“I was thrown by it because it was so last minute. I wasn’t able to perform it as well as I wanted to,” he told vocal coach Yvie Burnett.
“I really am a bit concerned, I’ve lost my confidence a little bit in what we’re going to do, what song we’re going to choose. I just hope that we can get it right this week.
