September 12, 201014 yr Okay, here's where I stand: 'You're Beautiful' is one of those songs that never deserved the airplay it got. BUT, it DID deserve it's #1 status and it being one of the best-selling singles of the year. The fact it was overplayed detracted from it's appeal greatly, and by the end of that year I was willing to pull mine and anyone else who listened to it's hair out, in a bid to turn it off whenever it came on. Last year, in an art lesson, we used this song for inspiration for one of our topics (teacher's choice) and I could not believe how welcome it was to my ears, we must've listened to it five times in a row and I could've listened to it even more had I had the chance. Since then, 'High' was a bit naff, 'Wisemen' was his best yet, and '1973' came close, everything else he'd done was rubbish. Then, yesterday I discovered 'Stay The Night', and it's already my most played song in my iPod. It's such a warming tune, something that his other singles tried to do but failed, instead they succeeded in other areas like commerical appeal. This song is a proper summer song, none of that electronic 'Californa Gurls' $h!t I've had to endure. I like the fact he's gone for a song with a lot more body; it's not as wishy washy as his past efforts yet it manages to stamp his flair all over it. I'm in love with this song right now. P.S. PAOLO NUTINI!? Paolo WHO? That over-rated talent-vacuum makes my skin crawl.
September 12, 201014 yr Really liking this. ^_^ I've never hated him, and I don't see why people hate his music. 'Goodbye My Lover' is great, and was really emotional during Big Brother. :(
September 12, 201014 yr Oh thanks for reminding me about that song, 'Goodbye, My Lover' is brilliant. And yeah I've never understood the hatred for him; as a person, he is hilarious.
September 14, 201014 yr Always disliked the guy, but I had a soft spot for '1973' and even though I was one of the ONLY people at the time to hate You're Beautiful, I quite like it now lol. But he's irrelevant these days? I can't see many people caring. Paolo Nutini and James Morrison have taken over his market now. Not worldwide they haven't. Not really a fan of JB put I prefer him over the other two you've mentioned. He comes across as a nice bloke & have never understood the hatred towards him. Quite like this catchy new song from him. Much better than the Gary/Robbie duet that will no doubt storm to number 1. Edited September 14, 201014 yr by truly talented
September 14, 201014 yr Unfortunately, it is released in a week with a lot of competition... it goes up against 'Shame' and 'Just The Way You Are'... I predioct they'll both be duelling for #1, leaving Mr. Blunt for a Top 10 placing should he get good promotion. And Paolo Nutini is the anti-christ. He is a cock-end.
