  • James Blunt offers a live performance of best-selling hit 'You're Beautiful" live at the historic Cambridge Union.
    Singer-songwriter and former British Army Officer, Blunt's album Back to Bedlam shot him to fame in 2004. The songs 'You're Beautiful' and 'Goodbye My Lover' sold over 11 million copies worldwide, topping the UK charts and reaching the number 2 spot in the United States. Blunt has also gained a reputation as a prolific tweeter.
    In an hour-long interview led by Speakers Officer Jonas Dein, James Blunt discusses everything from his careers as a soldier to his twitter before performing two of his best-selling hits.

    The emotions on his face as he sings is incredible. You can tell he sees the woman he truly loves as he's singing it

    I've never seen such an uninteresting interviewer,he looked totally disinterested most of the time. Thank god for James and his sense of humour and great storytelling. Absolutely love his music, don't care how posh he is 😍 I did laugh at his explanation of the song beautiful, I listen to it in a different way now, but still love it.

    Idk if it's a pr thing or whatever but James Blunt has never given a "star" vibe. He's so "just another guy" but a complete package as an artist and a human.

    What a brilliant man you are James. I'm not watching anyone else but you, I hear you, your sense of humor is amazing and as for your singing, you're beautiful. Congratulations to you for your intelligence and, lovely interview.

  • @dalespencer8694
    @dalespencer8694 Před rokem +4

    When he first spoke of "Your Beautiful" he said he saw his ex on the bus and they just looked at each other, she was with someone else. He said they lived a lifetime in that moment... I am not sure now, if that is just a story he told, but I like it more. Either way, James Blunt is still awesome. I heard he has a greatest hits out... I think I will go shopping for it tomorrow.

      Spot on - he’s not only talented but he was dedicated with his service - he was also selected as one of the first 4 Royal Guards to stand by the Queen Mother’s Coffin when she was lying in state- he never blows his own trumpet- I don’t think he likes to do these sort of interviews but does them because he appreciates just being invited to do it- I like him 👍🏻🇦🇺
