Unfortunately, James Blunt is neither a flaming homosexual nor catchy or moving in any way. But maybe the music as a whole can overcome that, right? There is no reason for Boy George to be anything but an affront to life, but by god if I can ever get Karma Chameleon out of my head for a week after I've heard it. Again with the thought provoking questions Why do they have pickups!?!?!? (oh, for reference, that was the only listenable track on the album, Wisemen). It's not me.†and for it not to be ruined by “ Those three Wise Men, They've got a semi by the sea.â€. What I want is stuff like " Look who's alone now, It's not me. Blunt? I don't appreciate such thought provoking questions being asked to me when I'm listening to sugar coated faux-alt pop. The Jimmy Hendrix tribute So Long Jimmy is silly and completely worthless, as Blunt epically sings such lines as â€Did you lick that line yourself, Or did the voodoo magic help? " Did it, Mr. Really, is she beautiful James? I'd say this was the worst lyrical moment on the song, but there are quite a few others to draw from. There is the quintessential Blunt chorus " You’re beautiful. A mere check of his hit single You're Beautiful will reveal just how awful Blunt be. James Blunt completely sidesteps this as well. Of course, some singers overcame bad voices with their penchant for songwriting (Bob Dylan, anyone?).
BACK TO BEDLAM TRACKLIST FULL
Not the normal 'oh that guy sucks' kind of thing, full on 'Why is this mother singing!?You see, he has a weird little trick he does with his voice, that I really can't describe, but since I assume everyone has heard Shakira, I can only describe it as an emasculated, more grating, and even more impossibly high. However, as time wore on (AKA I listened to this album once), I already hated its very being. Mind you, I didn't like it, but I could stand it and enjoy the music (more on that later). The first four times I heard You're Beautiful, I could stand it.
The most obvious example of this is his extremely high, annoying voice. It's a culmination of horrible facets that, while they may occasionally work for other artists, he deems suitable to flaunt at every single waking moment. What's wrong with Blunt isn't anything in particular. Reviews oh so rarely get to the point these days, so I'll just sum up my normal two paragraph long intro with one simple statement: James Blunt sucks.
