I can't stand this guy's creaky voice when his song "Goodbye My Lover" comes on the radio. My God, I can gargle a song better than that. So my question is... should he be put in a blender?

I've never heard of him - I take it thats good eh?

I too have never heard of him.  

Isn't killing him a little extreme?  I'm not a huge fan either but here's a simple solution...don't listen.

Triple J is a James Blunt free zone  

It really amazes me that people think he's good.  I think that people think that people think he's good so they then, as a result, think he's good when in fact he sucks.  Maybe people like some of his lyrics or his stupid video... or maybe people think that people think that people like his lyrics or video or something but he... Okay this is the honest test because my wife used to like him and said that he had a good voice.  This is when the video was on, so I told her to close her eyes and just listen to it.  Then I said "Okay now imagine it's not a man that's singing that, but a woman.... you see... he sounds like a woman who can't sing worth a damn. I can sing better than that!" and she was convinced just that easily.

I do a very good rendition of 'You're Beautiful' where i just sing those words over and over until I drive everyone insane. I personally do not like his voice or particularly like him to look at but obviously some do or he wouldn't be in the business. My little friend Abby who is five years old sings more of 'You're beautiful' than I can and does a better job of it than James does himself!

this may come as a shock to all of you...but i think james blunt has one of the best male voices of all time ... its just so original.. i guess everyone has different taste in music...unless i could be half deaf or something like that

I don't exactly find his voice spectacular but his lyrics are pretty good. I mean, "You're Beautiful" just gets to me everytime I listen to it. I think it's a really heartfelt song.

Kaisers, Blunt lead nods at Brit Awards
Wednesday Jan 11 06:26 AEDT

Kaiser Chiefs and James Blunt have led the field with five nominations apiece when the shortlist was announced for the Brit Awards, the UK music industry's big night of the year.

Blunt, a singer-songwriter who once served in Kosovo with the British Army, was the bestseller of the year with his debut album Back to Bedlam.

I actually heard one of his songs and he sounds like a male Bonnie Tyler!

Finally saw an Add with this bloke in it, I am afraid you are not quite correct, probably not original, it is just that as the practice of making eunichs died out several hundred years ago, its beena while since we heard one .....

i think he has a very nice voice with genuine talent...there must be a reason as to why he's still in the top 5 of the album charts, or more specifically at the number 1 spot at present, for a total of 26 weeks now...maybe a large percentage of Aussies are tone deaf, and a couple of other countries aswell...  

Yeah James Blunt in his first two songs in "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover", sounded like he is broke when he sings, sounds depressing !!

For heavens sake, cheer up James !!  

I read/heard somewhere that the latter song was written for his best friend, whose wife died at a very young age.  I suspect that's why it's so sad.
