Nice track. Sounds quite a bit like Scouting For Girls, and another singer whose name I can't recall.

The best UK X Factor winners single I've heard to be honest

Liked the original and this raw sounding version is good too.

746,998 sold while at #1. His first UK#1.

UK#1 and Ireland#1.

1.8 million copies sold in the UK.

▒ De Britse "X Factor" winnaar "James Arthur", met zijn zwakke debuut single "Impossible", begin december 2012 ☺!!!

Hele goede winnaarssingle van James Arthur, die aan de Britse X Factor meedeed. Het is nog nooit voorgekomen dat een winnaarssingle uit het buitenland de Nederlandse hitlijsten bestormt, maar nu lijkt het toch eindelijk te gebeuren met 'Impossible'. Snel naar de top hiermee!

Pretty good track, I really don't like his accent though cause it makes it hard to understand him at times.

His voice reminds me of someone that I can't place. I'm going to save face and say that it's Scott Matthews as I can't think of a better example yet. It's a good choice of song for once too, as it's a song that I did like, but didn't hear too much. Not sure how to compare it to the original, but I like this.

Not too bad, just a bit dull.

Very dull.

Eigenlijk gun ik dit nummer geen kans meer aangezien het origineel ook al zo'n gedrocht is. Deze versie van James Arthur is daar eigenlijk ook geen verbeterin op: het blik strijkers wordt weer opengetrokken en klinkt dus echt als een 'winnaars single' van een talentenjacht. Ik ben hier absoluut niet over te spreken.

Niet slecht, al verkies ik net het origineel.

niet veel bijzonders. Stem is op zich prima, maar laat hem eerst maar met wat nieuws komen.

Hope this doesnt last long....

He sounds like a blubbering walrus. Sounds like he is singing trough his teeth. Cannot stand it. What a bloody shock that it is a hit cuz its crap.

Arthur heeft het voordeel dat de versie van Shontelle niet breed bekend is in Nederland. Wellicht levert dat hem iets op. Aan zijn zang kan het in ieder geval niet liggen.

At this point in time, I find it alright, but this score could go either way. It is a bit dull I admit.

antonnalan
*****
I'm usually dismissive of covers and this version seemed average at first. Further listens and I really like it now, and I find the production here is even better than Shontelle's great original. The moment where the guitar comes in the first chorus, and then the strings in the second chorus is brilliant!

Pretty dull, couldn't really enjoy it.

Worst song of 2013 so far. The original is far far better because she can actually sing. He sounds like a sea elephant trying to call out or whatever sea elephants do when they make noises.

I'm glad that he was 'harpy'.

Do not like this at all! It is dull and his voice doesn't suit the song. It isn't fair that he is having huge success with this song when the original by Shontelle is so much better :(

*****
Solid track which continues to grow on me. 4.3*

EDIT: I'd like to see him have another hit to consolidate his success. Not sure if that will happen though. 5*

I'm embarrassed to say I liked this considerably in 2013. It's cringeworthy listening to it nowadays. His voice is so bad and the production is really quite yucky. The moment where the production gets more prominent after the first chorus in particular I can't stand it. I also detest the enunciation of 'impossible'. Australia should've rejected this and his later hit too.

This has really grown on me. It bored me to bits in the beginning but now I really enjoy it. It's catchy as and although it's no where near the original it is still really solid. 4.5*

James has got a good voice and he's a got a really promising career ahead of him, as long as he works with the right people. But the truth of the matter is, these X Factor winner singles are all boring. There's nothing exciting or new that comes out of them, and for that reason, I can't understand why this one out of the other nine has become a Worldwide hit. Boring, rehashed garbage.

Personally I prefer Shontelle's original. This one sounds a bit forced. It's a different take on the song though.

I really didn't enjoy this at first but I guess in reality it's just one of those songs that you can listen to in the background without being to offended.
He's an odd looking creature though...

What made this popular a month after he won X-Factor not in Australia but the UK? It took Little Mix and Leona Lewis a year to break here, along with One Direction (although they didn't win X-Factor). Songs OK.

Nah, I never find this interesting. Maybe if he done a better cover like this would be decent enough. But this one is not.

TRASH! Similar to Lewis Capaldi, they're just SO uninteresting of artists and deliver nothing but mediocrity.

I don't mind it - but it is rather forgettable.
