X Factor: Simon Cowell has HUGE Row with Jamie ‘Afro’ Archer
X Factor judge Simon Cowell has reportedly had a huge 25 minute row with singer Jamie Archer last night, after he told him to change his song for tonight.
The Sun reports that Simon listened as Jamie rehearsed the Elvis hit ‘If I Can Dream’, and told the big haired songster:
“That was well below par. You are finished if you sing that.”
Insiders told how he continued: “You need to change your song and start learning the lyrics fast or you are not just going to let yourself down – but you’ll let me down too.”
He advised him to change to the U2 hit Angel Of Harlem (how that could be considered as a Big Band song escapes me)… but Jamie, replied: “I don’t know the words!”
The pair then took the row to Simon’s dressing room.
One source added: “They eventually calmed down but it got very heated – Jamie is absolutely shell-shocked by it all. We honestly thought he was just going to pack up his things and leave the show.”

Pub singer sings rock song on big band night – actually small band as only horn / rhythm section played – half the band sat there with their instruments on their lap!
Sorry Jamie fans, but doesn’t anybody get the fact that this guy has played the pub circuit for years yet hasn’t got a record deal or major contract – the guy is full of heart, but not star quality. There are many talented musicians playing the pub circuit and many better than Jamie.

I personnally think he has the best voice.
I am only 13 and i normally rather more popy and young singers,
But i think he has potensial,
He stands out
and sings with pashion,
i deffonatly think he has the best voise,
And deserves to win..
I think Jamie has a good voice, nothing forced and no shouting like some of them do.
Does anybody know the name of the song he sang in the 2nd live show? Something like “Hurt” or “Hurting You” I want to know who sang it originally. He did a blinding job of that I can’t stop playing the video on facebook.
