James Blunt - annoying?

anyone else find James Blunt annoying? not sure what it is but he just urks me somehow...is it just me?

Thoroughly annoying. If I here him screeching "you're beautiful" I have the urge to kick whoever is closest to me in the shin.

Absolutely annoys the hell out of me...and the one thing that reeeallly pisses me off about him is that I have no idea who he is? And have never heard of him up until now.

Isn't that the same with everyone though - you don't hear about them until you hear about them?

he was actually featured on heute-journal (ZDF TV news) a while ago - he's an ex-soldier apparently

hate him! Stupid voice. Only famous coz he was friends with loads of famous people(elton john, george michael among others!). Also, he used to be a captain in the army, and now he's all bohemian and crap, gimme a break...

and does anyone else find Jack Johnson REALLLLLY boring!?

I quite like him if only for the reason that he is God's gift to Cockney rhyming slang.

Seems he guarded the Queen Mum's coffin (maybe so the alcoholic vampires wouldn't get at her). Have you noticed, though, that there are two versions? On the single he sings "I was flying high", but the album version is "f*cking high". So he was out there on duty on the Balkan stoned? Nice job. Great work.

he is a pot head.

what annoys me more though is people who are jealous of his success.

i think the guy is a top geeza. a lot more interesting than the likes of shane whateverhisnameis who won whatever that showwas where there was also a bin man.

Someone posted this piss-take the other day, I think it's really funny.
You need sound (obv).

You can't run the sound anymore due to some legal business, but the lyrics are funny.

that's a shame, it was great with the sound
oh well

you can still throw rotten tomatoes at him as well

Line him up with the frog and the lil' chic and blast away. That voice should be outlawed.

I hate the posh floppy haired twat. His voice is like finger nails down a blackboard - and that song about being beyuuuutifool is just plain stupid.

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.

There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

so...bloke sees a bird in the underground - for what- about 10 seconds, then bangs on about it for ages, including blatant lies like 'we shared a moment that will last to the end' before telling her that she has to face the truth, but he's really sorry but he can't be with her. I'm sure she's gutted. I mean WTF!!!???

Smoke enough dope in the U-Bahn and you too will have moments like this.

yes true, probably the first time ever song lyrics have never really made sense

I like the album anyway.

I liked the two songs I've heard from him the first few times, but they quickly became grating. Is all the stuff on his album so whiney?

My husband saw the guy on telly the other day, turned to me and said "oh my god, a guy sings that song?!!!"

The song is actually about him running into an ex-girlfriend whom he was still in love with and her new boyfriend on the underground...

Why are you defending James Blunt? According to your profile you're a man. Obviously a lie.

I've met Jules. He's all man. Well, at least the parts that you are allowed to view in public.

I disliked him initially because I think he has a voice similar to Rod Stewart and I hate Rod Stewart, but then he started growing on me, but then after hearing it every 5 seconds I started hating him again! :}

I must admit I hate Jack Johnson more!!

I hate him. Whiny fucking crap music.

Surely that's the even more irritating one called Goodbye my lover, or something like that?

My boyfriend and I absolutely love the his song "Goodbye My Lover", it's wonderful!

Say what you like about his music, but if he didn't exist the variation of slang words for "cunt" wouldn't be quite as rich as it is.

As his Jimboness already pointed out.

ere, anyone know what time James comes on? can't be arsed with the warm up act.

The warm up act'll probably be better...

oy cheeky chops! the thinnest of thin ice!

And that other song about Bravery ('No Bravery' perhaps?) is about the time he spent in Kosovo and what he saw there as a peacekeeper. For that reason alone I think he's a lot less of a cunt than say The Pussycat Dolls.

What really annoys me is that Hazza tells me every time there's James Blunt with "You're beautiful" on TV or on the radio or wherever (and that is way too often) "I hate this song! Did I tell you already that I hate this song?"

Well I do hate it...
