James Blunt claims to entertain? | NY Times event, tix

like him or not, James Blunt is a performer. His show at Webster Hall in March was pretty good. Besides, he wrote the p-dropper that makes your girlfriend...

point being - there are artists less deserving than James Blunt of their success.

like him or not, James Blunt has written a p-dropper which will be around for many years

I thought there was a question as to whether he actually wrote that song or not?

When I first heard James Blunt's 'Beautiful' song, I thought it was Shakira.

I thought that was song was Maroon 5 for like 3 months. Guess I was wrong

Is James Blunt capable of writing about anything else? Who are these people he 'entertains'? He may have pushed Chumba Wumba out of first for my most hated 'artist' since Starship released records in the early 80s.

James Blunt is fantastic. Period. His music is romantic and anyone insulting him is - well- wrong. If there is no room at his concerts, just get his CD, stay home and listen. Fantastic.

I can't believe that at my age I would like - so much - a very young singer and songwriter like James, but I do. Most young musicians tend to play heavy music, he is different. When I listen to James' lyrics and acoustic guitar, I found a friend who is expressing what I wish I could say.

In most circles in the UK he's more referred to by a word that rhymes with Blunt...

I've just noticed that the name of the above poster, JT, rhymes with Hailey! Yay!
