View Full Version : Why is James Blunt so freakin popular?
Cactus Jack 02-24-2006, 07:52 PM Honestly, I dont get it. He sounds like a high pitch voiced duck with a stuffy nose. He; cnat sing very good, and honest he doesnlt look too good either he looks like he wne tto bexcd with out drying his hair, and/or didnt wash it and it's still dirty. He;s a Birtish singer, who I would susually expect to be awesome, a British singer, but he's not, yes Youre Beautiful has a good beat to it and the lyrics are good, but he sounds whiny and just not evry good, yet people are like OMMG JAMES BLUNT ROOOOOOOOOCKS!!!!!!!!! OMG I LOVE IME 0MGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111onneoneoneoneoneoneoneoneone.Why isnt he gettimng panned by cirtics? Why arent there a bazillion people making fun of his song? He's not that good just IMO
Number 9 Dream 02-24-2006, 07:53 PM I tend to agree....I don't think his voice is that special (it sorta reminds me of the lead singer of Maroon 5's voice)

:D :D :D :D :D!!!!!
He loosk like a perv too
Courtnee 02-24-2006, 08:49 PM he's mmk. Nothing great but good.
jamesanthony 02-24-2006, 09:19 PM Can't speak about his looks (do performers really have to be handsome to sell records???) or so much about his popularity (different strokes for different folks...) but he's very popular in England so I suppose he is being crossmarketed over here. Plus record sales are the slowest at this time of year, so that could have something to do with it.
The most interesting thing about his career is that You're Beautiful is #2 on the Hot 100, the highest ranking that an adult contemporary ballad with no kind of black music or American Idol connection has had in a very long time. I wish more songs in this style would do this well. They used to be a major part of the top 10 until the last 5 years or so. For him to go this high with his first single is even more noteworthy.
Cashodeen 02-24-2006, 10:14 PM I WANT TO KNOW THE SAME THING!!!! Egads... I've only heard of his recent song, but based on that his voice sounds terrible. The lyrics are cliche and his looks and video aren't even appealing. He's got nothing going on that I can see, that would make him the success he is becoming.
PrettyinPink55 02-24-2006, 10:14 PM I just LOVE that song of his!!!!
MaydayMalonesGirl 02-25-2006, 12:43 AM The only song I've heard by him is the "Beautiful" one, and all that really stuck about it was that the lyrics were really cheesy.
AllIWantIsYourClutch 02-26-2006, 10:36 AM I like him. His cd is super depressing though.
Cashodeen 02-26-2006, 08:40 PM Yesterday I decided to actually sit through the whole video and I finally caught all the lyrics. :barf:
I know you're ugly as sin James, and you probably don't get many stares, but must you really make a big deal about a girl looking at you on the subway and you wanting to be with her?

YES!!!! I know
Yeah its like "I saw her on the Subway then I didnt her again, and I dont think I will, DANG IT where's Jared?"
Number 9 Dream 03-29-2006, 09:41 PM I have to take back what I said (somewhat)-- I'm not a fan of his by any means, but I really like his song "Goodbye my Lover"
Kazza 03-30-2006, 07:39 PM LOL
Thats fine, you can think that :D

Weird Al did the same thing for his demo tape. Apparently, restrooms have great acoustics.:D

I must update that James Blunt said the song is about a chic he was actually dating at one point. I guess it was officially over when he caught her on a subway sitting with another dude.
:barf:

But not in a anothr girl's rstroom right?
I LOVEW ERID AL!!!! OMG I HOPE HAS HAS A JAMES BLUTN PARODY ON HIS UPCOMING ALBUM!!!!!! Probably does :lol:
Unscarred 04-05-2006, 08:22 PM I used to think the meaning of You're Beautiful was that he saw some girl on the subway with another guy and he fell in love with her; but; its actually about his ex girlfriend. It was about him seeing her with another guy...
I really love the song, but I dont think the "f**king high" line in the original song is appropriate. They change it to 'flying high'.
I absolutely love Goodbye my Lover though. It sends chills up my spine.
Number 9 Dream 04-05-2006, 08:24 PM Me too...I love that song. Tears and Rain is a good song too.

Ireneparalegal 04-05-2006, 08:54 PM He sounds like a really bad Rod Stewart.
