Jamie Archer is a musician from Putney, London, England. He was the oldest of the 12 finalists in this series. He has had considerable experience on the London gig circuit, and plays a number of instruments, mainly the guitar. He sang "Sex on Fire" in his first audition. In week 3 of the live shows, he had chosen to sing "If I Can Dream", but his mentor Cowell strongly disagreed and suggested "Angel of Harlem".

Eventually Archer gave in although he only had 24 hours to rehearse the new song. Walsh accused Cowell of bending the rules, as the theme that week was big band. Walsh said: "I'm a bit confused because the theme is big band and you came out and sang a U2 song. I feel it's cheating. I wouldn't get away with it and neither would the girls – I don't know why Simon does." During the judges' comments after his performance on the fourth live show, Walsh called him "a Lenny Kravitz impersonator". He was voted out in week 6, having been in the bottom two with Lloyd Daniels. On 13 August 2011 Archer sang at the Npower Football League Championship match between Leicester City and Reading.

Archer is recording his debut album with his band, rock group ARCHER, which is due for release in 2012. "Insanity" will be the band's debut single, available on general release for download on 3 October 2011. A UK tour was scheduled for September 2011, but was postponed due to the band's drummer and Jamie's brother, Stephen Archer, dislocating his wrist in a fall. The rescheduled tour will be announced later in the year. He is an official celebrity supporter of the World Society for the Protection of Animals' campaign against intensive dairy farming, Not In My Cuppa.
