I just checked the CD in HMV, and it is true. The single has (edit) on it, so I guess that's not the version.

It reminded me of those young NME writers who throw 'fuck' in every sentence as an indication of their rock cool but come across like prefects on a night out with the rude boys. I diskard them uterly.

he was on SNL today (feel free to make fun of me for watching SNL, but there was actually a good sketch tonight with lettuce!)...
I'm afraid he's taking over America now....

The only thing funnier than Blunt's voice/songs are his facial expressions as he's singing them.

How else could it defeat all borders and take over like that?
1) Is he 'fit'? (Not especially)2) Interesting personality? (uncheck)3) stunning vocal performance? (strongly disagree)4) Speak of a shared experience that the listener may well empathise with? (ah now....!)

Actually, you aren't supposed to do that when you sing; if you do, you are much more likely to fall off-pitch.
So, um, he can form his vowels correctly when he sings. I guess that's a defense.

Yeah, Sash, but the same accusations of banality & timidness could easily be directed towards your pet artiste, Keren Ann. It don't get more Starbucks than that, dude!
