[bluediamond]

Firstly, if ive bored you all about James Blunt before, sorry
Secondly, sorry to Anette for stealing her thunder, just thought id start the ball rolling Netty x :wub:

Actually i realised i have wrote the lyrics and commented on them in another post, so as not to bore you, i did in fact find out who Dorian Grey was lol.

2005 ? the year of James Blunt. With the biggest selling album of the year, the third best-selling single with ?You?re Beautiful? and a coveted MTV Award for Best New Act, James has emerged as the UK?s brightest singer/songwriter talent.

My own personal favourite is Track 5 - Tears & Rain, while many of you would have heard You're Beautifull

If anyone if JKF hasn't had the pleasure of hearing this great album i really think you are missing out on songs that will move you. (thats of course assuming you want to be moved)

Please check it out.
Post your comments on what songs you like from this album if you can.

OMG... best selling album, you're kidding me, sure he might be able to write a decent song, but his voice sucks, it's lazy and rather cold and emotionless. :shudder:

[arctic_breeze_0]

There is no ball to start running dear Dave... Just me that loves some of his songs, mostly because his lyrics say too much about me and where I am at, and how I am. As you know you're beautiful and goodbye my lover is my songs.... even though they depress me these days *sigh* :mellow:

[last_dance_rodeo]

i love the song you're beautiful i listent o it everday

[folderol and]

Oh god, I can't stand "You're Beautiful". His voice sounds like a cat stuck in a car door.

My life is brilliant.

[pause]

My life is brilliant.

Thanks, we really cared.

Someone give me a rifle to shoot him. I personally can't stand his whiney voice and I feel the 'I'm Beautiful' is one of the stupidest songs ever. It is the greatest mismatch of lyrics that makes no sense if you know nothing about it's inspiration and carefully listen to the lyrics.

It pains me to hear it and High is no better. I haven't heard the album but I have heard majority of it. I didn't hear the particular song you mentioned Dave but I can't say I will either. It is just eardrum breaking.

But I don't judge those that do like him. That is just my opinion of him.

[bluediamond]

some of the comments are harsh, but its a free world and we all like different things.

personally i think someone who has sold as many albums as he has cannot have a voice 'like a cat stuck in a backdoor'

I'm a sexy beast, I'm a sexy beast, I'm a sexy beast it's true

Well, looking at some other artists, I'm becoming very skeptical that success has anything to do with talent. If it did, Jewel would probably be the world leader.

[last_dance_rodeo]

amen to that brother

That cracked me up.

He does kinda sound like that now that it's been said. I have been wracking my brain trying to describe his voice.
:P

I just love winding you up Dave.

On a serious note though, I know plenty of people that like him but clearly with James Blunt, it is a Love/Hate feeling towards him. You're either one or the other.

Like marmite (vegemite). You either love it or hate it.

i love james ! i was with my husband on a concert on 22. january!

my fave song is: Number 4 )Goodbye my lover (this songs makes me cry!)
tears and rain, and bravery. but i even like so long jimmy. but i like wise man too.

and LIVE james is better than on cd! he realy rocks our socks

[lordassmonkey]

I do not like Goodbye my lover. He honestly in the song sounds like his b***s haven't dropped yet
Kinda the equilvent to like peter brady or something lol. I just don't like him hes cute but
I don't like his voice it gets to squeaky and nasaly for my tastes. Like the main reason i

That is true and we know it takes very little record sales to become number 1 nowadays.

Actually, to give James Blunt some credit (but not too much), I have heard his song Wisemen and it isn't bad.

[damnthatnicole]

EWWWW!! Miss Carey is nasty.
I'm not a fan of James Blunt he is way to mellow for me.

[bluediamond]

oh lookie "You're Beautiful" top of the US charts!!

looks like not all americans dont like him :banana:


:lalala:
dave


Mr Blunt rocks the US, next step to have him do a duet with Jewel........heaven. :rolleyes:

[Little Bird]

Even though it was voted Worst Album at the NME awards???

Ya see, I come back to him being one of those Love/Hate artists. People love to hate him LOL!

Seriously though. It is a case of getting 100 people, 50 will say they love him and 50 will say they hate him. You won't find anyone on middle ground. I think he just has that affect on people.

[bluediamond]

shall we fight Kiera?

:cheeky:

:lalala:
dave

[Little Bird]

yeah!

Fight FIght Fight Fight...now wait. I really shouldn't be encouraging that. Ah what the hay....FIght Fight Fight Fight.

[bluediamond]

dont start, because i will bite you when you least expect it lol.

James Blunt is one of the nicest guys on the planet, if i was gay .... i would

:lalala:
dave

[Little Bird]

Dave, you never cease to amaze me. I can't fight you now. You've turned all wimpish and so I just wouldn't be a fair fight. I'd kill you too quickly.

LOL! :lmao:

[bluediamond]

:lmao:

what subject is this........... oh yeah James Blunt


:lalala:
dave

Kiera, bring it on baby!!

[Eibhlin]

ugh, if any of his other songs are better than that Beautiful song, then i wouldnt know

I utterly loathe that song!! i would rather listen to...Vanilla Ice, and that would be torture in and of itself

:shudder: :shudder: :shudder: :shudder:

[last_dance_rodeo]

haha if dave was gay... now there's a thought

[Eibhlin]

dave gay, now that's something i dont want to imagine

:rolleyes:

[bluediamond]

You all crazy people

:shock:


:lalala:
dave

Andrea, you know im not gay la la la la :rolleyes:

[ItBeThatWay27]

I have to admit I really like his music now that the big "You're Beautiful" rush is all over (at least here in the US) I just don't like that song, although the version on the live album (Chasing Time- The Bedlam Sessions) is pretty good... anyways I love Wisemen and I love No Bravery... I wonder if No Bravery has something to do w/ the war in Iraq? At least that's what I think of when I hear it...

[strengths.with.faults]

i like the Wisemen version thats on the XM radio cd thing put out by starbucks.. and i also like "High"

[never.alone]

James Blunt is creeeeepy
but his music pretty good

[strengths.with.faults]

lol yea but that model sees somethin special in him

[ItBeThatWay27]

I like the XM version of Wisemen also.. I like most of the songs on his cd. I've been listening to "Billy" lately for some reason...

[strengths.with.faults]

the last time I heard that was when Direct tv had a concert of his on..
so I dont really know it that well

[never.alone]

download Rocky Racoon youll get a kick out of it
:D

[strengths.with.faults]

oh yes its the best gary lol

[ItBeThatWay27]

ha ha ok. Have you listened to the live album? Chasing Time? I think it's awesome and I even enjoy "You're Beautiful" which I normally can't stand... I feel the way about "You're Beautiful" the same as I feel about "Your Body is a Wonderland"...

[strengths.with.faults]

lol no i havnt listened to it

[awiste]

I happen to really like James Blunt. I didn't care for him all that much but then I saw him on Oprah and I sorta fell in love with him.... he seems so sweet and soft spoken and gentle... ahhh. Ha!

Anyway, I believe "No Bravery" was written when he was serving over in Kosovo... bad times over there.

[ItBeThatWay27]

oh I didn't know he served. Wow now I think I like him even more. Or respect him more. Either one..

[never.alone]

I dont enjoy No Bravery too much....
Goodbye my Lover and High are some of my favorites

[DreamsLast]

The first time I heard 'You're Beautiful' I thought it was some new song by Rod Stewart. I remember thinking, man that's weird that he's still making music and they're ACTUALLY PLAYING IT on the radio!!! Then I found out it was this Blunt guy....

Maybe if I heard more of his songs I might like him.

But the subject of the song "You're Beautiful" is pretty lame. Some guy reminescing about some hot chick on the subway....and they "shared a moment"???? Get real, dude. That's a whole lotta emotional attachment to someone you saw for 2 seconds...not normal!! :-)

[last_dance_rodeo]

I just bought high as a ringtone hahaha i love the video for it too, i've felt like running through fields many times when i was back in sioux falls all depressed

He actually wrote "you're beautiful" after he saw his ex-girlfriend on the subway for the first time after they broke up... and she was with another man. I'm kind of embarassed that I know so much about James Blunt and his songs.... I guess I got a bit obsessed after seeing him on Oprah. Wow! What is even MORE embarassing!

[ItBeThatWay27]

don't be embarrased about that.

Chris you bought High as a ringtone? ha! I should start a ringtone thread cause I wanted to ask about Jewel ringtones. On the ringtone program or whatever that we have there's only 3 and they are Intuition, 2 Become 1, and Again & again... needless to say i didn't get any of them. BUT I did get Bigger than My Body by JM and it's my fav ringtone right now. Woot! (SORRY OFFTOPIC)

[never.alone]

Lucky!
i cant get ringtones on my crappy phone

[ItBeThatWay27]

ha ha ok back to James Blunt. Have you seen the video for Wisemen? It's an awesome video. How they kidnap him and he's in the trunk.. it's just a cool video and works with the song I think.

[strengths.with.faults]

no.. is it up on youtube? ill go search it

[strengths.with.faults]

ok i watched it.. i found it a bit odd lol

[last_dance_rodeo]

sweet i'm going to go see this

[ItBeThatWay27]

ha ha you thought it was odd? why? b/c of the midget? haha I thought it was awesome. Anyways I listened to Rocky Racoon. hahahahaha that song is whack yo! ha ha ha

[never.alone]

Ahh! its so funny though! i never expected to hear something like that from ol james blunt!

[strengths.with.faults]

lol rocky collapsed in the corner!

[ItBeThatWay27]

did yall know that rocky racoon was a beatles song? I just found this out. When u told me to get that song I thought it was something James Blunt made up

[never.alone]

aww man i was hoping it was something ole james came up with in his little british mind!

[strengths.with.faults]

yea my uncle told me one day that it was a Beatles song

[last_dance_rodeo]

so what do you guys think of 1973? I don't get it. He can't be in a club in 1973. He would have had to be at least 18 in 1973 and he's only in his 30's so it's just not possible. I don't get it. Maybe I'm thinking to hard about it. But still it's not possible and doesn't make any sense.

[Little Bird]

Oh I really don't like that song. It's awful. And my local radio station plays it to death. Very annoying.
