You are right about a moment in time. I was 32, been married for13 years with two children and rushing in the mall to find a pay phone to call my husband. No mobiles in those days. suddenly this guy stood in front of me to stop my forward motion and said “ you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.” I merely ducked around him and continued on my way. I just remember him as tall and in a business suit, white shirt and tie along with that comment. Never forgotten the lovely moment of nice words.

That’s just my complaint Sue, Javon has it wrong. He is NOT a one hit wonder here. I am in Canada and have been a fan of his from day 1. I own most of his albums. Wisemen, Sun On Sunday, Best Laid Plans, Always Hate Me and I’ll Take Everything are some deep album cuts that are absolute favorites of mine. It actually irked me when he said one hit wonder. I think what he did was assume he was a one hit wonder because he had never heard of him before. Trust me, he is NOT. I saw James open for Ed Sheeran a few years ago here in Toronto. Dream come true for me to see both guys in one night.

I told her meet me in the library. She was there waiting for me but my body won't move. I told my friend tell her i'm sorry i was doing something. I told her i'm sorry on fb i told her maybe next time. Several months later n we had that football game she was a performer in a band. At the end of the game I told my friend push me, i did walked a couple of steps but my body won't move. I didn't tell her how i feel. next day i deleted. now i have regret bc everytime when i sleep i always see her in my dreams.... i didn't gradute highschool i can't get a job i can't even drive in a different timeline i know we're married, i'm succesful, i have a big house, stuff like that and so on

Also watch the video he does showing health workers during the pandemic with the song 'The Greatest'. I am sure you would love both of them. He also has a cracking sense of humour and to all the people who have a go at him on Twitter etc he comes back with a witty remark.

For JayveeTV ~ or anyone here with more information to share, I honestly did not know the artist's name, James Blunt; however, I recognized this song immediately as a big fave of mine. Because of this, I wanted to research this artist a little more (something I do when I run across a new song or artist that floats my boat like this one does). I understand what 'One Hit Wonders' are ~ but here, I am a bit baffled. After watching this reaction by Jayvee, I began to Google more about James Blunt, as well as checking out his Wikipedia and the many KZbin songs. The first thing said, in looking up his Wikipedia was this: "The discography of James Blunt, a British pop rock singer, contains six studio albums, two live albums, nine extended plays and twenty six singles." I looked up several of the listed songs on KZbin, and rather enjoyed several of them, and only watching the KZbins with the lyrics so I could follow along. Through my looking and finding more interesting facts, I found James Blunt to have a net worth of $18 million from his successes ~ and then found this excerpt from that resource: "The song ("You're Beautiful") won two awards at the MTV Video Music Awards and Blunt began making appearances on TV programs and talk shows such as "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and "Saturday Night Live". He was nominated for five Grammys at the 49th Grammy Awards. His debut album has sold more than eleven million copies around the world and went ten times platinum in Britain. "Blunt's follow-up effort, "All the Lost Souls", took four days to reach gold status in the U.K. and has sold at least four million copies. He released his third album, "Some Kind of Trouble", in 2010 and his fourth, "Moon Landing", in 2013. Blunt has been involved in a number of charitable efforts, including performances at the Live Earth concert and holding concerts for Help for Heroes." ------------------------------ And, just for a fun fact ~ James Blunt owns a pub in London, Fox and Pheasant ~ which has its own Wikipedia page. I have little knowledge of this, but I decided to toss this in for those-in-the-know to enjoy. ------------------------------ Having been to England only a few times, I am not as knowledgeable about such things there as what constitutes a One-Hit-Wonder, or much about the music industry there ~ outside of simply my enjoyment of some of the songs. I admit that "You're Beautiful" is the only song I recognized from the several I looked up. Would this then be truly a One-Hit-Wonder? I guess what baffles me is the Celebrity, US notariety and monetary successes James Blunt has attained from one song recognition. I have not seen a return such like this for any other songs that I have known to be One-Hit-Wonders. And never, have I ever, known a song coming from a One-Hit-Wonder artist...who, because of another of his songs, a UK hit, "Goodbye My Lover" - have all of James Blunt 's songs be banned from a radio station...because "Goodbye My Lover" was the most requested song at the Bereavement Registry (51%). (That is, if I worded that appropriately and in the right context 😮) I offer apologies to everyone for this comment being so lengthy. It has been such a pleasant surprise to learn all that I have this afternoon....that came from someone requesting JayveeTV to do his React to an unknown (unknown, apparently to us both, ha!!) I would love to hear any feedback that can shed more light on this with me, us all. Thank you, Best Regards p.s. ~ His birthday places him at age 46 !! Wow, he looks & sounds so much younger than that.
