Production - Dubstep on X Factor



2012's contestant James Arthur included a dubstep twist into his song at the weekend. He took on Adele's 'Hometown Glory' and interpreted it in a very unique way. His performance had a great response and I decided to go on to twitter using the X Factor hashtag and found a lot of comments regarding his performance. Several people loved the performance solely because of the Dubstep twist and how well he interpreted the song. 

I think that a lot of artist recently have been trying to add more dubstep into the music industry. Tulisa mentions at the end of his performance that during her festival sets she incorporates a lot of dubstep - "you know I love a bit of dubstep." Tulisa also mentions that she has always hoped that X Factor would find an artist that embraces the urban edge, especially as she comes from an urban background and produces urban music herself. 

Nicole Sherzinger says "Like I said, you took the legendary Adele, you swagged it and then you freaked it with the dubstep. You are the future of music! You take real singer song writers, real melodies, real passion and then you combine them with a fat beat like that!"
