The popstars people love to hate

His name is now a rude piece of rhyming slang. Poor James Blunt.

'Long live the dullards like James Blunt. There are some wretched, talentless fools among the current crop of stars, whose records ought to be melted down and used to build vinyl rafts, upon which they should be set adrift in shark-infested waters. Some of us like to get on with it instead of whining like ninnies.' Justin Hawkins

'It was quite staggering. People said, 'Can you get rid of him?' 'Can you ban him?' Even people who say they are fans of his songs go on to express that they're sick of it.' Essex FM Programme Controller Chris Cotton

'Better one Ronnie Wood than a million James Blunts, whose idea of mad rock 'n' roll debauchery is probably throwing the batteries from a TV remote control out of a hotel window.' Holy Moly

'He's carrying on (literally like a trooper) with someone else plonking out forgettable ballads on the only keyboard in the world wishing it was able to kill itself. Continuing his whining (how did he survive Bosnia and Kosovo, for God's sake?)' Holy Moly

    Not keen on his music, altho' the single 1973 was okay - but the man has integrity and is intelligent, well-spoken and thoughtful... echo the statement about Justin Hawkins - now there's a prime tool...

    this little twit should go back in the army. his music is so boring i would rather watch paint dry than listen to it. he is just a upper class twit who thinks he can write music. go back in the army and do something you can be proud of and leave the music well alone. god i hate this little twit.

    Much as I dislike the music of James Blunt (mainly because he never elaborates on the "plan" he has in You're Beautiful and the lucky get managed to get Mischa Barton in a video) it's amusing that one of the quotes is from Justin Hawkins who is an equally annoying waste of space.
