The blunt truth is that it's not exactly big news. Dude hasn't been relevant for years, and has never had a bunch of annoying bandwagoners that made his mainstream success annoying.
Was always the cool/scene thing to hate him. It's like hating on Coldplay, what's the point, no one ever claimed they were the best in the world or anything and their fans are usually just mellow middle agers, which I imagine many of you are. Now, if both the Gallagher's were involved in a fatal plane crash, I think there'd be reason to celebrate. Or perhaps if Jay Reatard arose from the dead to create another Blood Vissions. This. James Blunt taking a back seat whilst he was already riding economy class. This is no victory. |

It's a symbolic victory, like killing Osama Bin Laden. This man wrote one of the most, if not the most, annoying department store/second hand shop/grocery mart friendly pop hits of all time.
Personally, I'd have preferred it if Seal Team 6 took care of him – but I guess this works too. |

Alike the 'killing' of a scapegoat Bin Laden seemed to appease many misguided and disillusioned souls seeking to blame someone for their own wrongdoing; the retirement of James Blunt being positive news is only reflection of those that hated upon him being momentarily content with who they are. That feeling will return to the crippling emptiness they are accustomed to.
Now that he's no longer here, who will they turn their emotive displeasure onto. Who will they vent their anger and subsequently their own inadequacies at how little they've achieved at. The only reason for hate bandwaggoning is to feel apart of something. A group of unfulfilled likeminds joining together to pretend their somehow above someone far more successful than any of them are. Perhaps this is why you all dislike James Blunt? Does it stem from jealousy? Does it stem from wanting to be more than you are? |
