From Oprah's site:
British singing sensation James Blunt is all the buzz! Tommy Mottola, the head of Sony Music Entertainment, is one of many fans singing his praises. "I'm not even representing him," he told Oprah, "but you need to hear him!"
James, whose new song "You're Beautiful" rocketed to number one on the Billboard chart, has been singing and songwriting since he picked up a guitar at age 14. A former soldier and guard to the queen, James has already conquered England as Britain's most popular male singer. He's toured with Elton John and was even asked to sing at his wedding! Now that James's soulful sound has crossed the pond, American audiences can't get enough.
James says he never dreamed he would have so much success. "There was a time when my ambition was to make an album that I really felt strongly about and really enjoyed. I thought, 'Maybe a few people will connect with it,'" he says. "If they did [connect with it], then that would be great because then the record label would maybe let me make a second album."
Oprah wants to know—what's the story behind "You're Beautiful"?
"It's kind of miserable," James says with a grin. "It was about seeing my ex-girlfriend on the Underground in London with her new man who I didn't know existed. She and I caught eyes and lived a lifetime in that moment, but didn't do anything about it and haven't seen each other since."
"Wait till she hears this song," Oprah jokes. "She might be calling you up!"

Blunt's performance--5 stars.
Thank you for stopping by and your kind comments, good morning to you, even though it is now afternoon here, had a Dr. appt. and stop by "Mental Health?". Nice Fractal.
Thanks DJB. I've really been liking the work you've been producing lately. I love a image with a backstory and you've been doing a heck of a job with that. Hope the appointment when well.
Very sweet, sunshiny fractal Trée. Like a pinwheel in the spring. Also has that "oil on canvas" look too it. I like and I need. Thanks. :D

Why thank you bbb. How are you doing tonight?
Sounds like a great show! I'm waiting on 2008-9, that's when the episode will be screened here :-D.
Hope you are have a pleasant evening, x
Morning Sunshine. How's the coffee?
Aromatic, soothing, hot, an all-round gorgeous cuppa :-)
Off-white cup with a slight lip?
hey, sorry, i was gone for a while. :) i am doing fine, much better now. :) how's bbb?
Your bbb is doing just fine sweetbabyk.
Off-white, no lip - sorry to disappoint ;).
The 'Flowers' that Tracey wrote about a few days ago is the same CD/DVD, I bought a while back titled 'Chasing time' - the CD is live versions recorded at a concert in Ireland and the DVD is from a show at the BBC. You won't be disappointed, if you buy it. The two piano solos alone made the purchase more that worth it, absolutely amazing, gave me the shivers (and admittedly induced tears). Being such a big fan, you shouldn't miss watching those solos.
Sweet dreams, when you get that far, x
Abt Linny...yeah I still cant imagine how such a smart, humorous, adorable, beautiful and ice-cream-loving girl like Linny could ever be single!
Keshi.
Thanks for the heads up Sunshine. Amazon has it on pre-order. I'll keep looking--might have to order from overseas.
Its a mystery to me too Keshi. :-)
Agree! An absolute mystery!
good morning sweetie, hope you have a great day!

Morning Trace. May the glow continue. :-)
LOL. How did I completely miss this? You guys are too sweet! Thanks Trée!
You're welcome Linny. The ice cream has melted but I'm still here. :-D
See, no wink. I'm very understanding in that way. :-D
Have a great Sunday Linny.
