James Blunt
There's a lot of substandard music out there, but the Blunt is the only artist who has me swearing like a banshee and diving across the office to flaunt the "Radio 2 only" policy.

Can anyone explain his popularity? It genuinely baffles me.

sesame street
i'm not sure why he is popular but i dare you to listen to his sesame street song about triangles and not be singing it all day.

I don't like his music, finding it whiney and, well, just tuneless. However !! He seems like a nice chap. He clearly doesn't take himself seriously.

Hmm, if he was such a good soldier, how come he "left" the army to pursue a musical career? I almost wish he'd stayed in the army, maybe then he really would have saved the world...with the added bonus that I wouldn't have to listen to his turgid warblings at work.

The only man alive who is his own rhyming slang

That gag comes from a great song: "I may just have to murder James Blunt", by Mitch Benn. Enjoy!
