James Blunt has just claimed on 5 Live that he...

This is getting all side-tracked, everyone should listen to 'You're Beautiful' before they comment - being funny on Top Gear and saving the planet is firmly put back into perspective.

Come on Ed, since when did a C&W afficianado have the right to comment on music?

Now where is that damned CD to check if I'm right or not

the thing about James Blunt is that he's very small. Teeny-tiny. Almost Dustin Hoffman or Hugh Jackman small.

Check out this drivel video. Compare him to the bollard. They could be brothers. Cue joke about the bollard being the more musical

It's quite clear from the lyrics that the subject of "You're Beautiful" is war itself, and not bored housewives or their teenage daughters who have claimed it for themselves and whatever existential crises they may be undergoing. To me he is the Metaphor Godfather.

The subversive depravity of this girly-voiced haircut is proven by the hidden track on his first album entitled Head Shot (Sniper Spree)

This guy seems to be very popular - I wish I had his degree of 'failure'...and was brave enough to sit in a tank etc.

He may not be your favourite singer, but he has clearly been in harms way in the service of his country. Maybe he deserves a little respect for that.

I'm not a fan of his music (though I like the scenario of "You're Beautiful" * see below)
but I reckon if his surname didn't rhyme with c**t, he wouldn't be half so unpopular!

*Now I'm not Mr Handsome of the year, but... years ago, I boarded a train in a real rush, took my seat, and started reading the paper. A woman a few rows down kept looking at me in 'that' way... as she was getting off a few stops later, she took a quick photo of me (a camera... mobiles didn't exist in those days) and blew me a kiss.... I've often wondered 'what if'

I think he was alluding to a mental picture.

As in 'mental'.

She was only entering a competition I think...

You're confusing the lovely Hugh with his Marvel character, Dell. Wolverine is a 5'3 hairy barbarian mutant with adamantium claws who carries a permanent aroma of wet dog and hails from Canada.

Hugh Jackman is a strapping 6 foot tall Australian who also happens to be quite a good dancer.

Tom Cruise, on the other hand, is minuscule, although I blame that state of affairs on his prior existence as a space clam.

Once, before a photo shoot, Tom Cruise sent for a carpenter to make him a little platform the same thickness as phone directory.

why didn't he just stand on a phone directory?

Alan Ladd had issues too - Oh Shenendoah, I love your doorstep.....

Maybe his inner space clam was concerned the paper would get soggy.
