X Factor winner James Arthur has covered Arctic Monkeys' 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High'. Listen below.
Where Arctic Monkeys laced their Sheffield sound with hints of American r&b, Arthur's Radio One Live Lounge session is a bleak pop cover with a truly unecessary rap dropped in midway through, trumped only by the attempt at an epic rock-out as the track reaches its painful finale.

James Arthur is currently challenging New Zealand star Lorde for this week's No.1 single, and has been promoting the track slagging off Matt Cardle in the press.
Arthur claims Cardle has "no heat," adding that "His music is pretty drab for me. It's for bedwetters" in a recent interview for 1Xtra.
