I guess he's a new artist. I believe his album was put out in 2003 but i'm not entirely sure. He has this song out right now called "You're Beautiful" and I think it is a brilliant song. Unfortunatly the only one i have heard. I have not yet got to download some of his other songs. Is his whole album this good? If it is it will be the next CD I pick up.

I LOVE THIS SONG!
there'll be time for laughin'
there's no time to cry
soon i will be leavin'
look me in the eye
no matter what's in front of me
it's your face that i'll see

    I love the song too. I am listening to it now. It is crazy... I would like to hear more from him. He sounds like he might be more than a one good song kind of guy.

    My life is brilliant.
    My love is pure.
    I saw an angel.
    Of that I'm sure.
    She smiled at me on the subway.
    She was with another man.
    But I won't lose no sleep on that,
    'Cause I've got a plan.

    You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
    You're beautiful, it's true.
    I saw you face in a crowded place,
    And I don't know what to do,
    'Cause I'll never be with you.

    Yeah, she caught my eye,
    As we walked on by.
    She could see from my face that I was,
    F**king high,
    And I don't think that I'll see her again,
    But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

    You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
    You're beautiful, it's true.
    I saw you face in a crowded place,
    And I don't know what to do,
    'Cause I'll never be with you.
    You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
    You're beautiful, it's true.
    There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
    When she thought up that I should be with you.
    But it's time to face the truth,
    I will never be with you.
    Thanks harrison. Maybe you should take your beatbox down the street and eat some acid you silly pervert.

    His album was just about the biggest seller in the UK last year - was at No 1 for ages. And yeah most of the songs on there are just as good if not better.
    Iif you like that single youll definitley love the album.

    he was on snl the other week. i'm still not sure what to think of him. he's got a really unique voice but seems a little depressing at times.

    The whole album seems to be about a break up with his girlfriend. I just bought the cd after seeing him on SNL. It's really good. If you like "You're beautiful" you'll like it all.

    Man he was great on SNL. Except for his creepy starring into the camera!!!

    I only saw his second song, it was impressive. He reminds me of David Gray
    I miss you already, I miss you always

    the best part was when he says he fucking high. the rest of it sounds like the new backstreet boys song.

    I love James Blunt. I have his album and it's lovely, 'you're beautiful' is a great song but i think there's about 5 or 6 better ones on the album.

    My girlfriend and I have tickets to see him on February 22nd!!

    It's been a while since I heard that song. I remember seeing his music video a couple of months ago...

    it's a good song I think.

    I don't know which other song to download either.

    That's slightly insulting, to David Gray.

    He makes Jack Johnson sounding positively riveting!

    Hateful music, annoyingly over played.

    I have to say I fall into this category...to me, Blunt is generic and irritating as hell

    Im assuming that if every girl in your art class, including two asian ones with heavy accents, sang along to this, off key, when it came on the radio you would probably have grown to hate it as well
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    I can´t imagine anyone liking this guy. However there is good news. In a Dutch add it was said to buy his last album. So that must mean he will call it quits.:D

    i'm sure he's a really good songwriter and to shift records on a scale like he is then he must be doing something right (or maybe not, Nickelback etc)... But the way that he was SO OVERPLAYED on the radio last year just put me off. My girlfriend likes him, I just prefer my cheese on toast rather than coming out of speakers
