James Blunt: Simply Amazing!

I think I'm in love! This morning on The Today Show, the current #1 artist in the UK, James Blunt, made his first nationallly televised appearance in the U.S. singing his hit song "You're Beautiful," a song he wrote as a result of seeing an old girlfriend with a new boyfriend on the subway. Oh my, his voice is absolutely hypnotic and so is his life. Read on...

According to his website, Blunt went to University to study Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering and Sociology, joined the army (his family has been in one type of army or another since 995 A.D.), was a peace maker in serb villages, guarded The Queen, and helped bury The Queen Mother. Indeed, what a life at only 28 years old:

"From birth in a military hospital in Tidworth, to Harrow School, to Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering, to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, to The Household Cavalry, to Kosovo, to Buckingham Palace, to a recording studio in Los Angeles. How did James get from there to here? Only James Blunt’s hairdresser knows for certain, and either he isn’t talking or James cuts his own hair, and it’s up to you to join the dots – there are ten of them on the album."

And, after having done all this, he apparently, from what I saw on The Today Show, still misses (or at least gets sad about) the ex-girlfriend whom he wrote the song about yet says he never knows -- maybe a new girl will come along.

James, if you read blogs and happen to stumble across this post, please feel free to contact me for a date!

P.S. Roll me another "Blunt"
