James was a captain in the British Army and served as a tank commander in Kosovo during the Balkans war..he said that he used to strap his guitar to the side of his tank during an interview on the popular TV motor programme "Top Gear."
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.
James Blunt on Twitter is pretty funny. His song Monster (video with his dad) will have you sobbing. His father has (had?) kidney disease, and Monsters was a tribute /“goodbye” to his dad.
I've actually warmed to him in recent years, he took loads of stick in the UK over his class and accent but responded to it perfectly by gently mocking himself as well
This song was originally adored and then so over played people started to hate it. He owns a pub in London and they put this on at closing time to get people to leave! Gotta love his sense of humour!
@@jjc5407 he does have a good sense of humour, though I have to say as s working class northernervhis accent grates, it's like fingers down a blackboard lol.He laughs along about it though lol
James does have a voice that captures you and writes lyrics that can haunt. Not many youtubers have reacted to the ‘ Monsters’ song and video. I thought it was very brave of those that did and allowed us to witness their raw emotions. I cried along with all of them. It’s just so relatable 😔
oh Jay I had to laugh so loud when, in the middle of this beautiful song, you looked at us and asked "why he taking all of his clothes off?" LOL ! Love love your reactions.
Hi Jay - James Blunt May a one hit wonder in the USA but he has had loads of hits in the U.K. - You’re beautiful, Goodbye my lover, Carry you home etc and Monsters will have you in tears, so sad! He’s such a funny guy, ex Army Captain, brave too!! You can tell I love him!,💖💕🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
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.
In the UK, his name is rhyming slang for something else, lol. He gets teased a lot but he has a great sense of humour and his Twitter account is hilarious.
James Blunt is an amazing singer. Please check out a newer song he wrote for his father who was battling stage four chronic kidney disease.. It's called Monsters and it's beautiful. 💕💕💕💕💕
This song brings up so many memories for me. It's a beautiful song. When you hear it at weddings, parties, in movies, his voice that music will always make you feel loved and blessed to be a life and hear such art, beauty.💞🎶
Saw him years ago at the Moore Theater in Seattle. Sara Bareilles opened for him. He had just released his second album. They were both great! Such a memorable night. I was in the second row. One of my favorite concerts!
James Blunt is very talented and a heart throb for many. Met him at a concert in Nashville 2006- he was very kind. You need to hear his Goodbye My Lover!
Please react to Monsters. I love all of his songs but the video for Monsters is so amazing. I love that his dad is in it. His dad received a new kidney in January and is doing well. James said in many interviews that the song Monsters inspired a lot of people to donate their kidneys. So incredible.
Jovaughn, I love James Blunt (Blount)! I first saw him on "The Graham Norton Show" & fell in love with his voice & personalty. Later, I saw him on "Top Gear". Thank God, he's not a One Hit Wonder except in the US because he's amazing. As some other people have asked, PLEASE react to his official video of "Monster". ua-cam.com/video/DTFbGcnl0po/v-deo.html&feature=emb_title Thank you!!!
When this was a hit, you heard it everywhere. There was no escape. If you hear it more than once, it gets on your nerves. You’re beautiful - over & over like a broken record. James - we heard you the first time.
Love James Blunt, his voice is so unique. His tweets are hilarious too so witty! He has lots of great songs, I recommend 'Bonfire Heart' and 'The Truth'. There's a follow-up video to this song released on his new album last year called 'Cold'
He also served as one of the Queens Royal Guards for a while. This song was composed at the actress, Carrie Fisher’s (Star Wars) house, in her bathroom, because he liked the acoustics!
First, love your happy face and your reviews.. To the point and no rambling 👍 you should watch him live, he has so much expression that no other artist has. You have to try Monsters if you haven't yet, plus many other, I like I'll carry you home live, beautiful!
Ahhhhhh 3 notes in and I Know this song. Have loved it a long time ~ on my playlist!!!! Woohoo!! I Love, Love, Love this song!! Jayvee, someone did you a big solid in requesting this song for you. 😎 My first time seeing this video.
You should watch his video of the song 'Monsters' which is about his father who was very ill with kidney disease. It is very sad, although his father managed to get a transplant. 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.
This totally happened to me - riding the T in Boston with my then BF and I had a moment with some guy. on the train. Then this song came out. It definitely caught my breath! Nice memory.
Another great video this great song and singer came from nowhere, unfortunately it was so popular people started to hate it and him, he’s a great guy , very funny
This is from an interview James did: Blunt said “You’re Beautiful” wasn’t actually a romantic song. “It’s always been portrayed as romantic, but it’s actually a bit creepy,” he opined. “It’s about a guy (me) who’s high and stalking someone else’s girlfriend on the subway. But everyone has those moments where you wonder: ‘What if I’d said something?'”

I use to sing this to my husband all the time, "you're beautiful, its true" and he would get pissed off but really he loved it., lol. RIP Rolando :)
❤️
Hope you're doing OK ❤
Memories are Forever..❤
❤
James Blunt has written so many great songs and you can tell they're all from the soul. He has a wicked sense of humour as well.
cheers nwell said
One of the most underrated singers in the world
Another great one of his is Goodbye My Lover.
Yes! That is a beautiful song!
My favourite James Blunt song
The best!
That and 'High'
seconding
The best part is when he says “flying high” but in the uncensored version he says “fucking high” and it’s hilarious in his high pitched voice
Yeah, the German radio stations play that version here..
@@pashvonderc381 No way that’s awesome!
Haha yeah, this was actually the first time I heard the "flying" version (the other one sounds better really) xD
James was a captain in the British Army and served as a tank commander in Kosovo during the Balkans war..he said that he used to strap his guitar to the side of his tank during an interview on the popular TV motor programme "Top Gear."
He was with the Honour Guard at the Queen Mother's funeral.
I love his song No Bravery - I’d love to see a reaction to that
He wrote a lot of his early songs while on deployment, he would play them to his crew and ask their opinion.
Amazing Guy !
Amazing Guy !

I read that he finally got a transplant, hopefully he is better now 🤞🤞

@@swfcocs1 yes, he is kind, a true gentleman with great sense of humor. Love him.

@@jjc5407 he does have a good sense of humour, though I have to say as s working class northernervhis accent grates, it's like fingers down a blackboard lol.He laughs along about it though lol

That was a “I like this song but now I’m getting slightly uncomfortable “ moment 😆
😆 Yeah,that got me too"🤨He taking his clothes off?!?" 😂
Incredibly underated artist. 'Goodbye my lover' leaves me a blubbering wreck as does his song about his dying father - Monsters. Love his voice.
With me its 3 kings and his anti war song on 1st album amazing yet can never remember name
Hi Jay - James Blunt May a one hit wonder in the USA but he has had loads of hits in the U.K. - You’re beautiful, Goodbye my lover, Carry you home etc and Monsters will have you in tears, so sad! He’s such a funny guy, ex Army Captain, brave too!! You can tell I love him!,💖💕🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Amazing that I can't believe this song is 16 years old. It's very very beautiful❤
He can sing, I think he was more then a one hit wonder, here in England. A really nice song.
He isn’t one here in North America either. Javon has completely misspoken here
Highly recommend 'No Bravery' by James Blunt.
He wrote all his songs he said, including this one, at the late Carrie Fisher's house.
Goodbye my lover by james blunt
Will melt your soul.
😭😭😭
Check out, Goodbye my lover.. Also by James Blunt
James Blunt is an amazing singer. Please check out a newer song he wrote for his father who was battling stage four chronic kidney disease.. It's called Monsters and it's beautiful. 💕💕💕💕💕
Hi J Happy Wednesday. This is a beautiful song.
If you actually listen to it, its got its “beauty” but its actually a sad song.....”’Ill never be with you.”
@@ericbowers1620 I happen to think many sad songs are beautiful.
Kathy Jam yes....that can indeed be true...😊
Kathy Jam his other “Goodbye My Lover...is another “beautiful sad one.” :)
@@ericbowers1620 I love that song too.
How could anyone not know who James Blunt is? 😱 Thanks for introducing him to a new audience.
This song brings up so many memories for me. It's a beautiful song. When you hear it at weddings, parties, in movies, his voice that music will always make you feel loved and blessed to be a life and hear such art, beauty.💞🎶
Listen to No Bravery as it's his song relating to what he went through in the army.
Seen him live on a konsert and this song. His voice is beutiful
Great song
Love his voice ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful song!
Saw him years ago at the Moore Theater in Seattle. Sara Bareilles opened for him. He had just released his second album. They were both great! Such a memorable night. I was in the second row. One of my favorite concerts!
You should check out another song of his called Monsters. Completely different type of song. Just a warning, if you watch it, bring your tissues
No bravery - James blunt, please react. And goodbye my lover.
A beautiful song
James Blunt has a way of speaking to your heart. Have you reacted to James Blunt, Monsters? Very emotional... but great.
Yes, OMG this song is awesome.
Goosebumps! I love this song. Been ages since I've heard it.
Good evening Happy One hit wonder day
Very important song to alot of people glad we could connect thru that
James Blunt is very talented and a heart throb for many. Met him at a concert in Nashville 2006- he was very kind. You need to hear his Goodbye My Lover!
Another great reaction! I forgot about this song. His voice!!
Spending time with you makes my day! Thanks for cheering us all up during these strange times! Love you man!
This song is still on my playlist.
YAY! Thanks for taking my suggestion!
"Goodbye My Lover" was awesome also
I love his voice so much...... This song is 'Beautiful' ❤️
nice voice and a pretty deep song . sharing his feelings about a love he wished he had but knew he wouldn't.
Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt is a must. It hits you in the guy ❤️
I adore this song. I cry when I hear it. He sings with such intensity and passion. Glad you loved it.
Hi sweetie. Great song
Please react to Monsters. I love all of his songs but the video for Monsters is so amazing. I love that his dad is in it. His dad received a new kidney in January and is doing well. James said in many interviews that the song Monsters inspired a lot of people to donate their kidneys. So incredible.
Oh, yes, Monsters is one of the most heartbreaking songs I've ever heard.
One of the great songs that were in the Smallville TV series soundtrack. That is from where I remember it most.
Jovaughn,
I love James Blunt (Blount)! I first saw him on "The Graham Norton Show" & fell in love with his voice & personalty. Later, I saw him on "Top Gear".

Graham Norton show is hilarious. He gets fantastic stories and laughs from his guests. Love, Love that show!! 🌿❤️
How good is James Blunt Jay what a voice he has got bring it on love him Thanks Jay
When this was a hit, you heard it everywhere. There was no escape. If you hear it more than once, it gets on your nerves. You’re beautiful - over & over like a broken record. James - we heard you the first time.
Such a great voice! I love this song. I have always liked this video, because you can see his feet. He has nice feet lol

James Blunt MONSTERS
That was beautiful and captivating from beginning too end.
HE"S beautiful ....
Goodbye my lover, another great song by him ❤

Nice song… get way to start of the night!…🎶🎶🎶🎧
Jayvee love you're reactions. Keep it up. Theres some great music out there.
I love this guy & this song touches my heart
He is wonderful!!
So pure!!!
The lyrics and his voice make this one of the most memorable and sad sad songs ever.
He is a wonderful singer
He also served as one of the Queens Royal Guards for a while. This song was composed at the actress, Carrie Fisher’s (Star Wars) house, in her bathroom, because he liked the acoustics!
One interpretation is that he's committing suicide at the end, following the Japanese tradition by removing ones clothes and belongings before jumping
Absolutely! And the lyrics repeatedly refer to seeing an angel.
That what he means by I've got a plan
@@andyskurna1407 An Angel could just be a beautiful woman though... I do still believe in the interpretion I made in the OP.
First, love your happy face and your reviews.. To the point and no rambling 👍 you should watch him live, he has so much expression that no other artist has. You have to try Monsters if you haven't yet, plus many other, I like I'll carry you home live, beautiful!
I love love your reactions. You are so genuine.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check out Bonfire Hearts, which is a James Blunt song from 2014 and also Bartender which is a more recent song of his
Saw him open for Sheryl Crow a few years back and he was great.
Ahhhhhh 3 notes in and I Know this song. Have loved it a long time ~ on my playlist!!!! Woohoo!!
I Love, Love, Love this song!!

9 years old at a youth club watching a marching band! Don't even know her name, but never forgot her!! 😂😍
James Blunt is all I listen to during my daily commute. His voice, lyrics and accent is all I need! 💖
Man, this was one the first songs I remember ever hearing. I'm a 98 baby!
This totally happened to me - riding the T in Boston with my then BF and I had a moment with some guy. on the train. Then this song came out. It definitely caught my breath! Nice memory.
Love James Blunt
Really beautiful song😍
Another great video this great song and singer came from nowhere, unfortunately it was so popular people started to hate it and him, he’s a great guy , very funny

One of my favorite song when i was a kid
1973 by James Blunt is also amazing!
