He shot to fame winning The X Factor in 2012, and James Arthur made a triumphant comeback to the stage as he performed on Britain's Got Talent. James, 35, performed for head judge and music mogul Simon Cowell again and his fellow BGT judges Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli.
James sang his new single A Year Ago during the third live BGT semi-final. Afterwards he thanked the show for having him on and Simon for his support over the years, and fans were swooning.
Many viewers commented on James' new long curly-haired look. @lori_sutton tweeted: "He doesn’t know it yet but #JamesArthur could be my future husband."

But other viewers were worried for him performing in a studio with his coat on. @sinead_farrelly said: "Watching James Arthur wearing 3 layers in studio when its been 20 degrees in London today #BGT" And @kezzab333 messaged: "James Arthur must have been sweltering on stage wearing that coat."
@keke2089421015 praised him: "James Arthur got that voice that even if the song is not for me his voice gonna give me chills every time!" And @Rosemaryhjames said with heart-eyes emojis: "Brilliant James."
