Please, someone, kill the man.

i thought it was good...:confused:

I thought you were seriously doing one of those "bring back capital punishment" things, until I clicked the link. Maybe you are ;).

In his case, I think it might be a good idea. Now, we just need to make 'crimes against music' punishable by death...

Meh. It's an adequate cover version, but **** (sorry...Blunt) is only doing it to try to gain indie acceptance. Which he'll hopefully never get.

Yeah, it sucks, but compared to some of the other stuff that is called music it's not half bad.

Not my particular interest in music, but I'm not offended.

I dont think the guy should be killed-maybe you could stop seeking his music?

I've heard a lot worse stuff. If we had to start killing people under these circumstances, there would be a mountain of dead "gangsta rap" guys stinking the place up first.

Why does nobody understand the problem with James I-truly-want-to-kill-myself Blunt?

I didn't go looking for it. It was posted on another forum I post on.

It's not just for this one thing that I want him killed. I don't seriously want him killed anyway. Maybe just get someone to remove his vocal chords...

He's repeatedly trying to get indie acceptance, despite the fact his music is bland MOR pop. He tries to portray this image of himself as 'rock' when in fact he's an ex public-schoolboy born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

What's wrong with public school? :S

I pay so little attention to an artist's roots and backround. If they sing, play guitar or act, and I enjoy it-thats fine with me.

I couldnt really care less if they were rich or poor, what they believe in or what cereal/deodorant/underwear/cel phones they use.

As soon as they start thinking I care about what cult they belong to or what political party they support, I lose interest and move on to the next one.

"Indie acceptance" sounds too much like "street cred"- all bullshit. Who the fuck really cares?

Sing, dance and amuse me, then shut the fuck up.

It's just not rock. Look at Charlie 'Busted' Simpson.

Nah. That'd be considered a hate crime. Though I'd likely shoot them either way... White, Black, Asian, whatever. Just so they stop that damned noise!

As for the video... I've heard far worse. It's not all that bad.

Meh. I don't see why you have to be poorly educated to gain recognition. Sure, private school, we can disallow that. :)

That cover was alright. not as good as the original but it still reminded me of fight club, which cheered me up. I dont know why people hate James Blunt so much. so what if hes posh? hte music may be a little bland but its pleasent enough. nothing really to love or hate though. it aint marmite.

No. Marmite's lovely. Blunt, on the other hand, isn't.

And for the last time - I'm not complaining about Blunt because he's posh, or because his music is crap (though I think it is, I know that's only my personal opinion). I'm complaining about him because he's trying to be something he's not.

Well, at least it's a better cover than most bands/artists can do. Ever heard Fall Out Boy covering "Love Will Tear Us Apart"? Death would be too good for them.

Ughhh. Fucking musical elitists! This is one of my favourite songs, and this is a good cover. People who say "omg I hate him" simply because he's popular are as stupid as those who say "omg I love him because he's popular."

I don't hate him because he's popular, although I can't understand how he is. I hate him because in all of his songs he seems to be killing himself.

Blasphemy!

Hey. I'm a musical snob, and proud of it. I even have the musical snob encyclopedia. But it's not a good cover. It's an average cover. You want a good cover of this song, listen to Placebo's version.

I don't hate him because he's popular.

I hate him because he's got a bloody annoying voice, his music is boring and repetitive, and he appears to be devoid of talent and charisma.

Apart from that I'm sure he's very good.

No, and I think I won't go looking for it. I love that song. It's like a child to me.

Well, no. That'd just be freaky, as it was made a few years before I was born.

It's actually pretty good. And I'm not very much into the modern music, so coming from me that's a great compliment. :p

He changed his name from Blount to Blunt to make himself less aristo... I just think that funny. He's trying to be all "authentic" and indie and so on, but he changed his name... I don't mind in-authenticness. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are one of my favourite bands and are incredibly shallow. However they're also rather good. He's just bland.

Oh, and find Jose Gonzalez cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart. Fabulous.

You wasted a wonderful opportunity to mess about with accents. What a shame, what a crying shame.

Thank you! If you enjoy it why the hell care about what kind of shit they do?
I don't care about all his personal crap, I like the feel of his sound. Therefore, I'll listen to it.
