But when James Blunt sings his wildly overplayed hit, "You're Beautiful," it's hard to take him seriously. Come on. No self respecting man writes a song like that. It's akin to John Mayer and that "Wonderland" garbage. Okay, not that bad. But it's in the same ballpark... a very lame, grating and absurdly effeminate ballpark.
