James Blunt sent a defiant message to critics who hate his songs when he accepted his double win at the Ivor Novello Awards. He delivered the remarks as he picked up awards for You’re Beautiful, which was named International Hit of the Year and Most Performed Work. As the singer accepted his award, he said: “To all those b****** who don’t like my music - you’re all adults, you can switch your radio off,” he said. Asked if he ever got sick of hearing You’re Beautiful, he replied: “I don’t have to listen to it, I’m the one who sings it. And it’s continued to get me laid.” Accepting the award for Most Performed Work, he told the audience: “I should probably be rude about it before anyone else is, so thank you very much for the Most Overplayed Song award.” Blunt was in no mood to talk about his fling with Tara Palmer Tomkinson. “I really don’t enjoy the notion of celebrity gossip,” he said. Blunt’s music has some celebrity supporters. Bee Gee Barry Gibb said: “We like James Blunt. He sounds like us.” |

Whoa. James if you read this, I’ve noticed you are a creature of many moods, all of which I find endlessly fascinating. I don’t know if it was good press politics to b***h-slap the critics but I enjoyed it.

James, My 7 and 10 year old and I love your music, we sing your songs out loud in the car. Their favorites are tracks 2, 4 and 6 (the “graveyard song” as my little one refers to it). I like them all..Good luck, best wishes.. from Cape Cod Mass.
