Yeah James Blunt,the man behind the album"Beautiful" is now the talk of guys in London. He was on Oprah a few weeks ago talking about his album and music.

Heard he won a certain award in London for that album,but just can't remember. I like his album,particularly the track"beautiful". I was just wondering if he deserves all this populicity he is getting. Not many artiste get to appear on Oprah. What do you think?

Well I am not really sure why this is in the rap section, but I'll look past that right now.

My only real exposure to James Blunt was through a TV program that a friend of mine was watching. It was him performing an acoustic set on TV. I watched as much as I could, gave it an honest try, and didn't like what he was hearing.

To me he sounds like a Jeff Buckley wannabe. His songs are boring, tired, and the lyrics are meant to be profound but just strike me as cheesy; his voice is not for me either, it sounds a lot like a gimmick. Its definitely marketable, mostly I think due to the straightforwardness of the lyrics and relate able themes.

Its not that I think he is incredibly terrible, I would just rather listen to something else.

If you are interested I think you should check out Jeff Buckley's Grace LP. The album as a whole is great and you find some very strong songs on it that appeal as singles too. I have what I believe to be all his work and it is all really great, but Grace is like his DSOTM and its a debut at that.

As far as Oprah is concerned, I don't think I've ever seen that show but I just know you can get a car if you sit in the audience.

Do I think James Blunt deserves the publicity? No, but very few people that get publicity deserve it; Paris Hilton anyone? I stopped concerning myself with the spotlight a while ago though.

Hey Just Blaze, I was thinking when I posted this thread here. Its not suppose to be here. But anyway is here already.

James Blunt was a former guide to the qeen of England. Just don't how he made it to the music world. Anyway, he is still a starter. Maybe he will improve. lol..
