I know he's a bit marmite but I love his music, and I love his twitter feed. This is one of his latest posts > https://x.com/JamesBlunt/status/1886475513075786093/photo/1

He’s so funny.

Can’t stand his music, but I think he’s great.

MegTheForgetfulCat · 04/02/2025 20:34

Yanbu, I love his self-deprecating humour!

Darkdiamond · 04/02/2025 20:34

I like his music too.

Butteredtoast55 · 04/02/2025 20:35

He's really witty and self deprecating so I can forgive him for You're Beautiful and the bizarre Wise Men song.

Elasticatedtrousers · 04/02/2025 20:36

Love him, his music, his wit and his amazing documentary which is worth watching!

Ameliepoulainandthephotobooth · 04/02/2025 20:36

He’s hilarious and quite hot (Hi James)

MegTheForgetfulCat · 04/02/2025 20:37

I haven't heard much of his more recent stuff but loved Back to Bedlam when it came out. He also released a very moving song about a miscarriage called The Girl That Never Was.

How can you love someone you don't know?

Wemaybebetterstrangers · 04/02/2025 20:42

Enjoyed watching his documentary. Interesting background. Talented and driven. Obviously he’s a short, narcissistic twat but I think one has to be the latter to do that job.
Like his music.

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 04/02/2025 20:42

I'm gonna go against the grain and say i can't stand his self deprecating posts and comments 😬🙄😭

I think he overdoes it and it doesn't seem genuine anymore - one comment a few years ago would've been enough but doing it all the time just seems fake and like he's harbouring a sinister personality

Don't come for me 😄🤭 I don't know him obvs

How can you love someone you don't know?

Whoop whoop, it's the sound of the love police

Couldbysunny · 04/02/2025 20:46

He seems like a good guy but I can't stand his music

What on earth are you talking about?

itsnotmeitsu · 04/02/2025 20:54

@Butteredtoast55 > I know what you mean about the 'wise men' song, but I can't help feeling there's a sublimal message behind "Look who's alone now
It's not me, it's not me
Those three wise men they've got a semi by the sea ..." 🤔

And no, in response to poster, I don't actually 'love' James Blunt > at the most I like him 🙂

His "autobiography" is well worth a read - v funny!

sanityisamyth · 04/02/2025 21:08

He's awesome. I loved his interview he did on Top Geat where he explained that he had his guitar strapped to the outside of his tank when he was a serving soldier!

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 04/02/2025 21:11

Love love love him. If ever he gives the music up he'd make an ace stand up comedian. Hecklers wouldn't stand a chance 😀.

I'm not crazy about his musc but monsters (about his very ill father) is one of the most incredible songs I have ever heard and the video is 😭.

Whoop whoop. The sound of the love beast (not).

Nope, still cryptic

Londonismyjam · 04/02/2025 22:04

No OP, you’re not U.

PearlClutzsche · 04/02/2025 22:08

He seems a decent, good-humoured sort.

Createausername1970 · 04/02/2025 22:09

He’s so funny.

Snap!

I love watching his interviews, he is so funny. But his music just isn't to my taste.

Noparticularplacetogo · 04/02/2025 22:13

WattleTyler · 04/02/2025 20:34

He’s so funny.

Can’t stand his music, but I think he’s great.

This, can't stand his music but he as a person is so funny and self-deprecating, seems a genuinely lovely guy.

Crazycatlady79 · 04/02/2025 22:14

He was a prick at prep school; he's a prick now.
