"Unlike some of his fellow X Factor contestants, James Arthur has been flying pretty low on the scandal radar - prefering to let his singing do the talking, as it were. Until now. James has been accused of ripping off an established Youtube act, after he performed a version of LMFAO&amp;#039;s hit Sexy And I Know It, similar to one created by Only1Noah.  The X Factor judges raved about James&amp;#039; rendition of the song on Saturday&amp;#039;s live show, praising him for making it &amp;#039;his own&amp;#039;. HowEVAH, fans of Noah Stagelt - who has recieved 13.1 million hits since he uploaded a reworked version of the song on Youtube five months ago - were quick to share their disgust on Noah&amp;#039;s facebook page, claiming that James is taking credit for another&amp;#039;s work.  One user wrote: &amp;amp;quot;The problem isn&amp;#039;t that he [James Arthur] used Noah&amp;#039;s cover, it&amp;#039;s that he took credit for the cover itself and allowed it to be seen as his &amp;#039;own spin&amp;#039; on the song.&amp;amp;quot; Another fan commented: &amp;amp;quot;Definitely ripped off your version of this song and you did it WAY better. Keep up the good work.&amp;amp;quot;  Listen to both cover versions below and tell us what you think - did James rip off Noah, or is this a whole load of fuss about nothing?
