X Fighters Cardle versus Arthur

He’s only just been crowned the X Factor winner for 2012 but it seems James Arthur may have offended ‘some of the best songwriters in the world’ by allegedly insulting 2010’s winner Matt Cardle.

The Sun newspaper today exclusively reported on the ‘bust-up’, appropriate for page three loving Sun, which saw James suggest Matt hasn’t released any decent music in the two years since he became the viewers favourite on The X Factor.

“Look, James, you’re very talented but you haven’t sold two million records yet, which I have.” The tabloid reports Cardle as saying, he continued, “You haven’t had two top ten albums yet, which I’ve had. Don’t start mouthing off before you’ve even really left the show.”

Matt suggested James has rushed in to insult without possibly even really listening to the music he’s knocking.

“Not only has he offended me but he’s offended every other person that’s won the X Factor and everyone who works or has written on these albums… That’s some of the best songwriters in the world – all these people – and he’s now rubbished their work.”

Where is Harry Hill when you need him to sort out who is the better of the two? What we need is Hill’s TV Burp ‘fight’ resolution to deal with this very important issue.
