James Blunt’s Twitter Feed Is Surprisingly Blunt
A tip of the hat to Britain’s most-hated musician.
Remember James Blunt? The British singer was responsible for “You’re Beautiful,” the soppy, sacchrine hit that made teenaged girl swoon and our ears bleed in the early aughts. While his sad-sack single and falsetto vocals were ripe for parody, at the end of the day, it was Blunt who was laughing: His album sold 11 million copies. Over a decade later, it’s clear from his Twitter account that he couldn’t care less about what you think of him.
Take his response to an adoring fan:
Send money. RT @hellonitty1: @JamesBlunt LOVE ME
— James Blunt (@JamesBlunt) March 24, 2015
And his response to a less adoring fan:
And finishes in your mouth. RT @trimjim90: James Blunt gets on my tits.
— James Blunt (@JamesBlunt) February 21, 2014
His thoughts on how the U.K. can win the Eurovision Song Contest:
You know we’d win the Eurovision Song Contest if you just had the balls to enter me.

And Gwyneth Paltrow’s vaginal steaming routine:
Guys, don't try that Gwyneth Paltrow steam thing. I think I've just poached my balls.
— James Blunt (@JamesBlunt) February 20, 2015
But he’s self-deprecating too:
For Lent, I've given up music. There is a god.
— James Blunt (@JamesBlunt) February 20, 2015
2006, actually. RT @K_Dick33: Why does James Blunt have a million followers? He stopped being relevant in 2009
— James Blunt (@JamesBlunt) January 30, 2015
Well, not that self-deprecating:
Not even I think you’re beautiful.
— James Blunt (@JamesBlunt) January 3, 2015
Stay salty, James.
