I hate James Blunt.....

maccas81 · 06-21-2005, 12:38 PM

OK...those of you who have been reading the musicians forum will doubtless have noticed my antipathy towards as certain 'whingeworthy and cringeworthy' musician, to wit, the said J**** B****

so who's with me?!

cille · 06-21-2005, 12:45 PM

who the heck is he???

mestonf · 06-21-2005, 12:47 PM

Mmm....yeah...not too keen on him - "Your Beautiful" is ok, but the rest of the album is a bit whack, heading more towards "cheesy pop!"

listening to 'you're beatiful' right now and i'm thinking *male dido, only better at singing and w/o the annoying techno arrangements*. bit boring but then not exactly good. yeah, boring. sings awrite i'd say. tune V boring.

Uno- X · 06-21-2005, 01:33 PM

ur just jealous cille that Jamie's mine...

Juzzza · 06-21-2005, 01:54 PM

I like it.

There's a few annoying songs on the album but also some brilliance. Thumbs up from me.

I'd rather listen to blunt than Rufus Wainright or Anthony & the Johnsons... urrgghh!!! Now that is arty farty, look how clever I am... pap!

he does look kinda cute though, but he should mind his bum - there's a train a'comin!

Uno- X · 06-21-2005, 02:05 PM

ha now she finds him cute. Hands off.

Gazel · 06-21-2005, 04:31 PM

He is kinda boring. In fact a lot of these new singer-songwriters are starting to bore me.

cille · 06-21-2005, 09:52 PM

yeah, the norah jones-amos lee-james blunt wave is sorta erhm... sleepy-fying

aw justin, rufus is brill! or maybe im just a sucker for huge production and amazing harmonies...
i don't hate james blunt, he's ok. It makes me wonder why other artists such as emmett tinley and tom mcrae who are similar vocally don't get more recognition but i gues it's cos their subject matter and writing is a lot darker and less mainstream..

I third that

cille · 06-22-2005, 08:23 AM

i think rufus can be too pretentious sometimes - i adore some of his work, and other things just make me cringe. and when he sings he has such an annoying way of breathing in! but then he has written some of the most beautiful things i've ever heard, so i kinda love him too. oh and at his gig in copenhagen he changed to a fairy queen costume

that was priceless

Juzzza · 06-22-2005, 08:27 AM

Rufus has his moments, I do actually enjoy some of the instrumentation choices he makes, and his voice is great... but man, he is pretentious. "men reading fashion magazines" is brilliant, I love the music in that... especially the 'musicals' homage. But I'd still rather listen to Blunt.
