James Arthur has blasted his debut album.
The 'You're Nobody' hitmaker was less than impressed with his self-titled record, insisting he wasn't given enough freedom artistically and bosses behind the LP were more motivated by "money".
Speaking on Polish TV show 'Interia' he claimed: "I have people telling me what I can and can't do, what music I can and can't make. People who aren't artists don't think about creativity and art, they think about money.
"When you find fame or you get signed to a record label, it's not what you imagined - because you imagined they would have 100 per cent trust or faith in you as an artist. Unfortunately that's not really the case - it's what sells."
The singer found success after winning TV talent show 'The X Factor' in 2012, but he has attacked Simon Cowell's programme for producing "puppets" and "karaoke singers".
He said: "Having watched 'X Factor' over the years, they just haven't got it right. The male winners haven't been believable. They look like puppets, they sound like puppets.
"I happen to agree with a lot of people who say it's like karaoke. I've done it myself watching the show over the years and saying, 'I've seen better down my local pub'.
"Unfortunately, there's a f**k-load of karaoke singers in the world and all they can do is make them look like good karaoke singers."

Nicole Scherzinger thinks 'shoulders are sexier than cleavage'.
The 35-year-old singer prefers to wear outfits which are "open across the top", and while she admitted to wearing boob-boosting bras, she insisted "everybody" can achieved a similar look.
She told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper's TV Extra magazine: "You see me wearing dresses that are open across the top. That area shows grace because it's dainty, but it also shows strength.
"I think shoulders are sexier than cleavage. Everybody can have cleavage with the bras we have today. I do use those bras - absolutely. They can give you confidence."
The former Pussycat Doll believes in herself by "staying in shape", but explained it is all in her mind.
She added: "Staying in shape is where I get my power from. It keeps my temple strong. Physically it helps because you feel more confident in your clothes and how you hold yourself, but it's a mental for me.
"If I don't work out I actually look more slender as I don't have as much definition ... Once you embrace your size and your style - and you wear clothes that make you feel confident and take care of yourself from within - you will look and feel better on the outside."

Amy Winehouse wanted to raise Blake Fielder-Civil's baby.
The late singer was reportedly so keen to have children that she sent texts claiming she wanted to be involved in her ex-husband's life, according to his mother Georgette Civil.
She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Amy said, 'We'll take the baby and raise him as our own'.
"Blake sent texts back saying it was a great idea. I couldn't believe what I was reading - they both lived in a dream world."
She also revealed how the 'Back To Black' singer - who died from accidentally alcohol pointing in July 2011 - was constantly planning "for her future" with her ex-husband, and even tried to visit him the in jail day before she passed away.
Georgette said: "Amy had so many plans for her future with Blake. He was in jail and they were divorced but she wrote to him and still longed for them to have a baby.
"The day before she died she had phoned the prison, trying to arrange a visit."
Despite the couple's problems, Georgette "couldn't accept" that her son was suffering, and it strained her own relationship with his father Giles.
She admitted: "I felt so guilty for Blake's problems that I couldn't accept they were so bad.
"I made excuse after excuse until Giles had enough. Still I couldn't accept Blake had done anything wrong."

Jessica Alba felt like an "old fogie" next to One Direction.
The 'Sin City' actress - who has daughters Honor, five, and Haven, two, with husband Cash Warren - had no idea who the British group were when she first met them a few years ago, despite them topping the charts around the world.
She said: "I didn't know who they were, but a couple of years ago at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards they asked me to take a picture with them.
"They were these cute young boys with fashiony hair cuts. I was like, 'Oh my God, are you guys in a band?' They looked at me like I was an alien!
"I was the only person on the planet who didn't know who they were. I was talking to Snoop Dogg at the time, so we were like old fogies compared to these guys."
The 'Escape From Planet Earth' star admits her daughters are not fans of the band yet but thinks it is only a matter of time.
Asked if Honor likes One Direction, she said: "Not really, not yet. I'm sure it's coming."
Jessica is unsure if she and Cash will ever have any more children, but insists they definitely won't be in the near future.
Discussing if she wants more children, she told Britain's OK! magazine: "I don't know, I'm 32 so I don't know if the shop is closed. I'm sure I won't be trying any time soon."

Adele is keeping James Bond bosses in the dark over whether she'll record the next theme song.
The global superstar recorded the title track for 2012 movie 'Skyfall', and while many behind the scenes of the upcoming 24th film in the British spy saga are keen for her to sing the next song, she's refusing to commit just yet.
An insider at studio MGM told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "The chiefs here have made their feelings known to Adele that they want her back for the next film.
"Daniel has also made it clear he loved Adele and wants her back but she has not responded, which is making them sweat."
If Adele accepted the offer, she would become the first singer to record more than one Bond theme since Shirley Bassey, who performed 'Goldfinger', 'Diamonds Are Forever' and 'Moonraker'.
She could have competition though, with British rockers Biffy Clyro throwing their name in the hat and admitting they would "love" to write a track for one of 007's adventures.
Frontman Simon Neil recently said: "Biffy for Bond, yes - I will follow you to the ends of the earth, sir. I'd love that.
"I think we've got a couple of songs in our back catalogue that could have suited but that is most songwriters' dream, isn't it, to write for Bond?
"You get given the key it has to be in, I believe, and certain motifs ... It's such a dramatic theme that I think it would really suit us."

Gerard Butler is still waiting for "the one".
The 'Olympus Has Fallen' actor admitted he is "sadly" single, explaining while he has "met a lot of princesses", he hasn't found someone he wants to spend the rest of his life with yet.
Speaking to the Mail on Sunday newspaper, he said: "I have not met the one princess yet.
"That doesn't mean I have not met a lot of princesses along the way, but not the one and only yet.
"Or maybe I have and she might come back into my life at some point. You should never rule out anything. But am I seeing the one now? The answer, sadly, is no."
The 44-year-old star also admitted he would love to have children in the future, but conceded building a long-term relationship can be difficult in the acting industry.
He added: "I do want kids. For now I have four nieces. I often wonder what it would be like to share a movie with my kids.
"It does make me think ... It's harder to be in a relationship in this industry. It's partly my own fault, and partly the nature of the beast.
"It's hard when you are leaving all the time. I'm not in Australia. Who wants to put up with that? But who says life has to be just one relationship? Maybe it's meant to have many short relationships?"

Perrie Edwards says accepting Zayn Malik's proposal was a "no-brainer".
The Little Mix singer got engaged to the One Direction heart throb seven months ago and, despite only being 20 she doesn't feel like she's rushing into anything too serious.
She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper's Fabulous magazine: "It was a no-brainer!
"I think you know yourself when the time's right and when you're with the right person ... My parents were engaged when they were really young and I'm old-school.
"I'm not a typical girl that's partying all the time. I just want to be with someone and let that be it."
However, the couple's hectic schedules mean plans for their wedding haven't began yet, and Perrie admitted she doesn't want to "go into it half-arsed" and rush her wedding with the 'Story of My Life' hitmaker.
She added: "Everyone's like, 'Have you planned the hen night? Have you planned this and that?'
"But we've been so busy, I I haven't. I don't want to be into it it half-arsed either. We want to do it properly."

Jorgie Porter is fuming at being flown back from the US to watch the 'Dancing On Ice' final.
The 'Hollyoaks' star was voted out of the show in the first round, but bosses have insisted she is in the audience to cheer on finalists Ray Quinn, Beth Tweddle and Hayley Tamaddon tonight (09.03.14) - which she sees as a waste of time.
An insider told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "She was complaining that she had to fly back for 'this stupid 'Dancing On Ice' thing'.
"There's no way she wants to be there. It does seem ridiculous, given she will barely be on screen. She just had to deal with it."
Meanwhile, Ray has admitted his new found physique has made him a hit with pensioners and he loves the attention.
Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday newspaper, he said: "I've had a lot of nans messaging me about my body. It's been great.
I've had a mixed response from everyone else. I'm like Marmite - people either love me or hate me. Some people love it and some just think it's awkward."

Simon Cowell's son will have his own dressing room for 'The X Factor'.
The talent show boss and his partner Lauren Silverman welcomed baby Eric into the world last month, and producers are pulling out all the stops to make his family comfortable.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, an insider said: "The design will mimic a children's creche and will be totally sound-proofed.
"Eric will be able to go to the studio with Simon while he is working and not miss out on any sleep."
The nursery will have a £1,500 Intellicot cot, which features a cooling system, automatic rocking and a memory-foam mattress - while Simon will be able to keep an eye on his son with a remote video system.
Despite being delighted by the new arrival, it is said the media mogul is struggling with the pressures of being a father and his filming commitments - and he has reportedly hired a private doctor to help him deal with the stress.
A source added: "Simon's doctor has been hanging around his office waiting for him. Simon insisted that he sees him every day."

Matthew McConaughey was the "engine" that made 'Dallas Buyers Club' possible.
The star won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance as an AIDS patient in the movie, and director Jean-Marc Vallée claims when he got on board he became the driving force behind getting it made - a process which had taken almost 20 years.
He told People magazine: "He became the engine that pulls the train out of the station and brings it to its destination."
And behind the 44-year-old star - who lost 47lbs for his role in the movie - is his family, and Jean-Marc says his wife, Camila Alves, is a huge influence on him.
He added: "[She was there] helping him with his diet and just being there for him."
Director Richard Linklater - who cast Matthew in his breakout role in 'Dazed and Confused' in the 90s - added: "[In Hollywood] you'll have people around you who want other things for you, but [Camila] will approach it as, 'What does Matthew want?' "
The actor's mother, Kay, 82, says she always knew he would be a star.
She said: "Matthew was always so driven."

Pharrell Williams believes he's been in "training" for his new album for five years.
The 'Happy' singer - whose new album 'G I R L' goes on sale next week - tried to emulate rappers like P. Diddy and Jay Z on his first album 'In My Mind' in 2006, and feels it has taken him time and growth to discover the kind of music he should be making.
Pharrell pinpoints one particular song on his first offering, 'How Does It Feel?', which brags about "cuties" wanting to sleep with him.
He said: "What was I talking about? That wasn't joy. That was just bragging. I wanted to be like Jay. I wanted to be like Puff. Those are their paths. I got my own path. But I didn't know what my path was.
"I knew that I was meant to do something different. I knew that I needed to inject purpose in my music. And I thought that was my path. I didn't realise that like, from '08 up until now was like, training. Like, keep putting purpose in everything you do. Don't worry about it, just put purpose in there."
Following lacklustre sales of his first album, the 40-year-old star was reluctant to release another solo record, but was convinced to get into the studio by Columbia Records following his success working with Daft Punk last year.
He said to GQ magazine: "They're like, 'Look, we know that you're not interested in doing another solo album. But we know that you're going to change your mind. Even if you're not ready now, we know you're going to change your mind. And since we know that, we'd like to get ahead of it and change your mind and tell you, 'Look, here's a deal. Go make whatever album you want to make'."

Stacy Keibler has married Jared Pobre.
The couple - who started dating late last year - were wed in an intimate beach ceremony in Mexico yesterday (08.03.14), and the former wrestler said she sees her husband as her "soul mate".
She told PEOPLE magazine: "My happiness is indescribable!. Marriage is the ultimate bond of love and friendship.
"It means putting all your faith and trust into a person that you can't help but believe is your soul mate.
"Someone who has all of your best interests at heart; someone handpicked for you, to help you grow and be the best person that you can be. Jared is all of this for me."
Although the pair's romance has been relatively brief, they have known each other for five years and Stacy - who previously dated George Clooney - was delighted with the surprise ceremony in front of their families.
In a statement, the couple said: "We both felt strongly that our 'love day' should be intimately special, and that's exactly what it was.
"It was a blend of romance, tranquility, natural beauty, bonding and overwhelming love."
