James Blunt on why his infamous single, "You're Beautiful," receives hate

[@gaynorhead2325]

James is so underrated, he is awesome and his songs bring out such emotions!

[@danettewelborn5577]

He is beautiful! Aging like fine wine! I always liked him, still do.

[@xx1983xx]

One of my favorite songs! I remember hearing, "You're beautiful," during my second deployment, (13 months in Afghanistan. ) NATO forces started to take over our American base that year. I was a young and naive, but I "felt" this song. It always takes me back.

[@tab5470]

Thank you for your service!!

[@michaelmichael1460]

God bless you brother, just know that there are still people out here who actually appreciate your service to our great country.

[@ryokokirchhoff782]

I liked him and always will!!!!! ❤

[@mrbojangles1945]

I can’t believe I had not heard of James Blunt until this year (2024). Where have I been! I love his music.

[@stephanietcastro]

I lived in England for school when this song was released and anytime I hear it, it always takes me right back to that time. It was literally everywhere!🎶🎵

[@bettydamnboop3030]

Truly a beautiful song and I can’t imagine why it receives hate. So sad

[@rivierapalms6485]

James is an all round good guy. This might sound strange, but he makes me feel proud to be British. He’s very down to earth and has a cracking sense of humour ❤

[@sherryjacobs3907]

Don't hate....it's great music.

[@geeewiz2231]

I agree

[@prankurvats8551]

Agree

[@Xiaolongbaokid16]

I must commend CBS on this one and Christina Raffini for how she approached the topic in a sensible yet humorous manner with James Blunt.

[@davidmueller9342]

And there was a parody written that exposed Ed Sheeran as important person as well.

[@tunemaking]

When one is a hopeless romantic, these types of songs have massive meaning and hit home! They tell a tale of hope and heartache at the same time. Any haters are just jealous of pure genius music!

[@minguyen2589]

didnt know he was hated???? i think he is so underrated!!

[@Thegbear]

It’s because, he’s talented, he clearly can write, and he’s a very good performer, but none of that can change how naturally annoying his singing voice is. It’s not his fault, and he’s genuinely a lovely and funny dude, but his instrument just hits the ear wrong. At least, in my experience.

[@KirkDustin80]

One of the best to do! Such such such an underrated talent. Never heard a musician that brings out raw emotions like James does. Love love LOVE this man.

[@frogkisser]

James Blunt, You're Beautiful...know that.

[@TheRoswellKid]

JB is a WEALTH of Amazing WISDOM! And HUMILITY!!😭❤️‍🩹🥇💯🛟‼️

[@ddoubleu170]

I will always love YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL - takes me back.

[@clockerbell9717]

Huge huge talent and amazing song writer!!

[@patriciawhite6820]

I love James Blunt!!!!!

[@Chris-gn5gu]

Literally his biggest fan. My dream in life is to meet him and sing one of his songs to him. I've been doing a tribute act for years, he's my idol.

[@emilycomedis3295]

i love ur music James Blunt and your personality. you are beautiful indeed.

[@jasmin0930]

Great interview and some really heartfelt song’s ❤❤❤

[@MarthaColon-g3t]

I just heard some of his songs never realizing who sang them. Beautiful Story . GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS

[@Tabbyb.1418]

Loooove him!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@missscofie1825]

Love James Blunt and his music.. And who cares if people don't like a certain song. "Don't listen to it " Move on Listen to what you do like . Looking forward to his new album

[@KCNwokoye]

Love the amazing song writer and spectacular human👏🏾

[@SkyeRangerNick]

I love this song more than I can express. It changed me. For the better. I love James too.

[@SkyeRangerNick]

What I hear is what I need to hear; what I see is compassion in the world; around the world. That's art, isn't it. 🤠

[@anaeliza8515]

Deus te abençoe com muita saúde e muitas bênçãos a você e todos da família

[@ac-dn6zp]

Love his music!

[@Cris-rv4kv]

Wow such a gracious person, never seen him in an interview before

[@slib5656]

Loved this spot, James's honesty and beauty and humour, the way the hosts handled their bit at the end.... Class act, everyone

[@GordyThomas]

I'm not a huge fan but I would never stoop to being hateful of him. He should be congratulated for finding his successful sliver of the pie 😎👍

[@Henry-cf4oo]

Nickelback, Taio Cruz and now James Blunt...Some really sad and broken people out there hating for no reason.

[@rinzaghi2057]

Jealousy... I can think of no other reason

[@marie-pauleschol36]

10/10/2024. Omg what a beautiful voice ! I have goosebumps !

[@foxdenham]

I think it's a great song, sung by an original voice and sentiment. It will stand the test of time.

[@wecandothiswarriors]

Fell in love with his gorgeous voice many years ago. Thankyou James 🙏❤️

[@honeystorlie1778]

So much humily, a brilliant sense of humor and such incredible meaningful songs!!! A voice that means something every time you hear him.

[@kathyrama4570]

One of my favorite songs, and Album. Really loved his songs and his voice.

[@minish1]

Just finished reading your book now I need to see One Brit Wonder. As always you are very special.

[@Micol-l6o]

I love every his songs and him ❤🇮🇹

[@johnanderson8096]

Good on Ya CBS!!!!!

[@lionking0110]

I had no idea this song received hate. I used to love this song when I was in college. Haven’t heard it in years!

[@thisis.michelletorres444]

Can't believe it's been that long, but I do own that first album on CD!!! 😂He's so endearing and I love his writing, very vulnerable and raw!

[@audio91000]

Same here 🙂

[@deborahjohannessenn678]

I always loved that song and still do ❤❤❤

[@GLITTERandSKULLZ]

I still love the song alongvwith many others of his.

[@bostonsquirrel482]

He is great live!

[@lennixx3433]

His voice. Oh my gosh

[@BobWilson-c6c]

I've read his bio. Its right up there with "The moons a balloon". Its really that good. One of those books you don't want to end.

[@SnKKS]

Wow, when she asked about him playing the girl that never was for his wife, you can see the haunted, pained emotion in his face. That was a hard question. 😢

[@StillYHWHs]

This is one of the greatest songs.

[@fromtheinvisibledeskofmiked]

Still Talented in 2024 🔥

[@johannarhymer1093]

He is brilliant ❤

[@LEON-Cyborg]

I got a story to tell. Flashback to the early 2000s, my classmates and I went to the Walker Creek Ranch field trip. We stayed there for a week and my buddies and I got to meet this funny black kid, who would often sing the song "YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL!" day in, day out. 😂😂 One time, when there were no adults around in the cabin, he dared somebody to fight him. I accepted the challenge and lost the match after 5 seconds into the fight. 😂😂 He was cool though, and we had some laughs together afterwards. He'd shadow play in the middle of the night just for laughs. I never did see him again after the trip was over. But boy, was he funny as hell😂😅

[@manuelaalves9354]

We LOVE YOU AND YOUR SONGS JAMES SI CE THE BEGINNING AND YOUR PERSONALITY

[@JanneCelinaScheel-Thomsen]

Great to hear and see the interview with you🥰💋❤️

[@mariaelita6761]

Um grande artista 👏🏽👏🏼😍✌🇧🇷

[@gullsrus]

Fabulous singer,i never tire of listening.

[@peterd788]

What's with the "British born"? He's always been British and still is.

[@gwafamhe4056]

I love james blunt and all his songs

[@d8ngdeld8ng]

Team James Blunt here. Been following and a fan of his. 🤯 And no Grammy? yet but lyrics with RICO, oversexualized raps & common theme won? That's ludicrous! He has other worthy hits!

[@LunaMoonfae]

James blunt doesn't get hate from me, I love him, I think that he's awesome

[@inaraberzina7115]

❤💖❤💖🎶🎤🎸Fantastic, thanks James.

[@Rawgaming32]

I never seen any of those hateful headlines. I love him. Music is amazing

[@stephanieadams3784]

❤❤❤ love that song❤❤❤

[@DonnaMeyers-re4um]

He is amazing!

[@alfredthegreat9543]

It's a great song. Crazy it gets hate.

[@traveltweettravel7053]

Love his music.

[@3orion33]

Would like to hear his unique voice sing a song about pure happiness

[@lucillecosgrave6924]

Love that album

[@randykarl4351]

He is my Idol,❤️

[@mart4414]

A generation defining voice, no debate.

[@freemagicfun]

"Your Beautiful" is the only song of his I know, and could not have said who sang it. But - I had no idea it was somehow infamous. Was it just overplayed, or is something supposedly wrong with it? 😎

[@lisagreybill7271]

The video depicts a suicide.

[@freemagicfun]

@@lisagreybill7271Ah, ok. I never seen the video.

[@caroljohnsonvaughn6793]

That song saved my life.

[@rinzaghi2057]

Happy you are still here internet stranger...🖖

[@geeewiz2231]

Love you James. Tour the USA please

[@petertimowreef9085]

Is it so much to ask to believe any minor pop star should be like this? You've won. You've made something that's so good millions of people listen to it and keep listening to it. What the F do you care what some people say? You're set for life.

[@davidmueller9342]

He's like the wolverine of music.

[@deekern541]

Amazing!

[@Lildrummerboy50]

that song is a classic idc

[@snoopyhappy7467]

He is awesome

[@AxelQC]

James is handsome, affable, and witty. It's a shame I hate his voice.

[@mushypeas468]

Good man ❤

[@frankie_CALB]

He’s the “Star” we don’t deserve, makes me respect the hell outta him! 🫡

[@Lucille-ho3oo]

I love this song

[@CharlieFlank]

When I first heard the song Your Beautiful I asked the teacher to play it again and again and again and all my classmates got annoyed and my teacher gave me the album to take home I remember playing it on my Xbox and singing it when I’d play halo 3 or cod 4 mw haha man I love that song also the album back to bedlam was and is a really good body of work

[@davidmueller9342]

Halo is another another song out group wrote together.

[@davidmueller9342]

Thank you cbs

[@beatriceowusuachaw6210]

You've done a great job

[@namor3607]

It's happened with a lot of great songs. Everyone got sick of Whitney's version of I Will Always Love You, and now years later people love it again. It passes.

[@davidhurtado2725]

He's just the one must love to hate it and I am such a fan

[@wayneprince-n2r]

I am buying what he is selling! He is the genuine item!

[@milanduchacek2489]

james is the best

[@chelseagirl924]

It's actually a beautiful song, I just think it was played to death when it came out and people got fed up with it.

[@fv6125]

Rolling Stone magazine always gets it wrong. Beyonce, Rihanna, and Kanye West are the ones people should be hating because they lack any talent. You can put Taylor Swift there too.

[@anaeliza8515]

Deus te abençoe com muita saúde e muitas bênçãos a você e a todos da família 🙏

[@gerardoaguilera8307]

Come to the USA!!

[@itzonlynatural]

James Blunt looks like a British Tom Cruise

[@paddym27]

it's a great song, a classic already. end of.

[@andreidinu7316]

He should do the Hot Ones show, if he likes hot wings.

[@Juliuspereira5085]

The look on the interviewers face😉

[@wingssoon]

❤

[@susanramnanan5884]

I think Vladimir hit the nail on the head - 'cuts close to the bone'

[@JanetCousins-to3hz]

Rolling Stone is jaded and joyless

[@hmm3484]

Too bad there are so many losers who can’t appreciate a good musician. Their hate is pitiful.
