James Arthur: X Factor's Kingsland Road "Aren't Good Enough"

James Arthur has spoken out against 2013 X Factor hopefuls Kingland Road on Twitter, revealing the boy band makes him "cringe" and insisting they "aren't good enough".

 

According to Digital Spy, the You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You singer posted messages about the group on Twitter earlier today (October 17) and also complemented the boys from Union J, One Direction and Lawson in the process.

 

The tweets, which appear to have been removed from James' account, read: "Im sorry but this Kingsland Road have me cringing to the max, they aren't good enough. There time must come to an end this Sunday#xfactor"

 

 

The 2012 X Factor winner then paid tribute to several other boy bands, writing: "Now this is what I'm talking about we have @UnionJworld@onedirection and dare I say @LawsonOfficial (boyband? Not boyband?) Kingsland no ??"

 

Andy Brown of Lawson has since tweeted Arthur saying: "@JamesArthur23 haha still...cheers for the compliment mate. Lovin the new track. X"

 

To which the 25-year-old replied: "@LawsonAndy thanks mate! Nice to see a pop band playing instruments love that."

 

James is gearing up to release his self-titled debut album on November 4.
