The singer has told a popular red-top rag that, despite selling well over a million copies of Back To Bedlam, he is proper broke.
"I haven't been paid, so I'm skint," he told the paper (okay, The Sun). "I don't own a car or an apartment. But I do own a motorcycle for getting around London. Money doesn't mean that much to me anyway. I've been used to having no cash for years. And it would be crazy to have an apartment because I'm staying in hotels every day anyway."
It's a flat, you fuck. Where do you think London is, California? Guess you dig soccer and reckon lager's proper beer, eh? Also, Blunt told The Mirror's 3am Girls that he wouldn't rule out dating a fan, as he's no desire to die alone.
That's fine with us, Blunt - we'll watch and clap along, if you like.
Cunt.

That is cruel, tasteless, sick and wrong. Why can't I stop laughing?

Re: Blunt is broke
Pathetic!!
U guys are so bloody opinionated and simple!! Give the guy a break! I went to see james Blunt last night and to be fair he was fucking good! Very refreshing actually! Let me guess you guys are all into ur metal, scar, punk or ur 'own' music as you are in some shitty band!! Well guys keep ur opinons actual 'opinions' and not just mindless insults and harsh four letter words. (unless thats all ur vocabulary will stretch to) Get a fucking life and shut the fuck up!!!!!!!
Re: Blunt is broke
He's right to a degree though, Blunt is terrible but there's worse things in the world we can direct our anger towards.
Re: Blunt is broke
This is a long debate but the reason I don't like James Blunt is because I DO like acoustic music and there is some incredible smart, funny and original stuff out there that gets ignored in favour of reactionary bland acts like Monsieur Blunt.
As a result people think acoustic music is only the bland, dull stuff and, as a result, anyone doing anything original, entertaining or different constantly finds themselves dismissed as "just another acoustic singer-songwriter".
To me Blunt symbolises everything that is reactionary, snobbish, passionless, misprioritised and flawed about the UK acoustic scene (and it's a scene I know a little about) and this is why his music angers me so much.
I'm glad you enjoyed Mr Blunt's gig last night and you are entitled to your own opinion but I'd appreciate you not telling me why I have such-and-such opinion, especially when it's based on inaccurate assumptions about me.
This is actually the funniest thing I've ever seen.
I love the thing about four-letter words. Embedded within a plethora of four-letter words. Brilliant.

'emo' is short for emotional music is it not?
Surely any kind of music is capable of emotion.
'emo' was just a convenient way for lazy journos and industry types to catagorise music in order to mazimize sales...
Thats what I meant.
Secondly, by asking if your name was blunt I was questioning the fact that some who calls a flat an apartment or thinks 'emo' actually means jack shit (get it now?) might be a James Blunt (rhyming slang for... well, you work it out)...

Re: Blunt is broke
You have met him, yes? Or are you also a coward? It is long established that James Blunt's lyrics are hackenyed, cliched and - by most accounts - garbage, but you know he is a 'tosser', do you?
You are safely esconsced in your home, maybe, many miles away from James Blunt. You are able to deride this man and you think that this is acceptable. If you have met the man, let us hear about it.
To all of you, you who decry this man because of his music, I say to you; think before you use such base, vile language. You have not met him, yet you call him 'cunt'. You log onto a message board and vent upon someone and think that this is somehow harmless, that you have a right to say these things. This man has parents and a family and friends who care about him as your friends and your family and parents care about you, yet you think you are able to say these things. I do not know this man yet if you were in front of me and said these things about him I would defend him.
Drowned In Sound; enough, please. If you wish to report the news, then report the news. If you wish to assasinate a man's character, then shame on you, but do not do so under the spurious banner of 'news'. From the tone of your piece, you seem to have a low opinion of The Sun newspaper, yet it is you who calls this man 'cunt'. Has he violently oppresed an ethnic minority or murdered a child? Has he dismembered a 14 year old girl and dumped her body in a ditch? Has he detonated a bomb on a bus full of school children? Has he enterered the home of an elderly man and cut his windpipe in order to secure a small some of money?
What, exactly, is it that this man has done to you?
Sean Adams, you have the authority to do something about this. Enough is enough. There are many bands whose music I loathe and despise, but that is where it ends. This has gone too far. It has gone too far. You people who think that this email is written by a crank, or that James Blunt is not worthy of defending. Imagine he were a member of your family and that, although he recorded music that you hated, he was still - of course - the person that you loved. You read this board and you saw him being torn to pieces, reduced to the level of a rapist, for I have never heard of someone being spoken of in such terms, other than those who have earned the contempt of society.
You should be ashamed, all of you who have written in such terms.
You are cowards.

He has absolutely no right to say that he is "skint". That statement shows his absolute ignorance towards the majority of people (including many, if not most, of his fans) who will go out and spend their hard earned cash, people who really don't have the disposable income to waste, on his records. Many people who are justified in saying that they are skint.
DAMN STRAIGHT I'D TELL HIM WHAT I THINK.
(Now I might add here that this doesn't mean that he's a bad person just ignorant. Perhaps he would see the error of his ways if somebody told him these things and certainly I would be willing to forgive him if he did.)
