Love Songs We Never Want to Hear Again (4)

James Blunt, “You’re Beautiful”

“My life is brilliant,” declares James Blunt. Good for you, holmes, but your song is wack. When it comes to the squishiest unrequited love ballad of the 21st century, it’s tough to say what’s more annoying: the drama-queen stalker lyrics, the whiney vocal tone, or the syrupy melody. And that’s not to mention the ridiculous beefcake video, where Blunt strips in the snow and then jumps off a cliff – an act that might feel more tragic if it wasn’t shot like an underwear ad.
