The NY Daily News reports that James Blunt is even more whiny and pitiable live than he comes off as in his simplistic music:
Blunt’s limited scope as a performer became more glaringly clear. Since his ballad-drenched repertoire is sluggish in pace and “miserable” in mood (to use his word), Blunt’s band tried to make things more “fun” by overplaying the backbeat. That threw the material out of kilter and forced Blunt to shout, coarsening his main selling point: his delicate falsetto.
We reported earlier that the former lead singer of Blur compared Blunt’s shallow songs to greeting cards.
Now that the news is out that Blunt can’t perform live, he will hopefully fade into the background. I don’t want to endure any more of his lame songs running through my head for days.
