Let's be blunt: Blunt's career is going fine

James Blunt
San Diego Union Tribune - United States
Heartbreak has been very good -- or at least very lucrative -- for James Blunt, the former British Army captain turned chart-topping new pop star. ...





"Beautiful" songwriter plays an intimate half-house show at ipayOne. Tickets go on sale Saturday, Aug. 19 at 10 a.m.

Heartbreak has been very good -- or at least very lucrative -- for James Blunt, the former British Army captain turned chart-topping new pop star.

"I look forward to being dumped by a girlfriend as often as possible!" quipped Blunt.

At 28, he is already a household name in England and other parts of Europe, thanks to "You're Beautiful." The song, from Blunt's debut album, "Back to Bedlam," was inspired by a chance encounter he had on a London subway with a former flame and her new boyfriend -- a boyfriend he did not know existed.

Although Blunt's eyes met hers for only a fleeting instant, it was enough to send the struggling singer-songwriter rushing home with a creative burst. Within a matter of minutes, he recalled, "You're Beautiful" was not only born, but completed.

The third single to be released from his album, the heart-on-sleeve ballad topped the pop charts for nine weeks running last year in his homeland. It became the first single in England in a decade to debut outside the Top 10 and then reach the No. 1 spot.

Perhaps because of the universal nature of its lyrics -- And I don't think that I'll see her again / But we shared a moment that will last till the end -- the softly elegant "You're Beautiful" has become one of the most frequently played songs at both weddings and funerals in England. Its success also propelled "Back to Bedlam" to the top of the album charts, where it displaced Coldplay's "X&Y" and reigned at No. 1 for three consecutive months.

"For me, it doesn't feel like it happened very quickly," Blunt said. "I started doing music at 14, I got out of the army (more than) three years ago and my album has been out over a year. So we've been building this for a long period of time."

Blunt's military service saw him leading a reconnaissance squadron of 15 soldiers and five vehicles in war-torn Kosovo in 1999. His songs, the majority of which are easy-on-the-ear tales of love, loss and friendship, suggest such influences as early Cat Stevens, Al Stewart and James Taylor, by way of Damien Rice and Nick Drake.

But "No Bravery," the standout track on his otherwise pleasant if innocuous album, is a happy (or, rather, unhappy) exception. It paints a vivid picture of the bloody realities he encountered while on duty in the Balkans, with such grim lines as: Tracers lighting up the sky / It's another families' turn to die ... Old men kneel to accept their fate / Wives and daughters cut and raped / A generation drenched in hate.

"I wrote it in 10 minutes one day and it was very easy," said Blunt, who joined the army to pay off his college tuition and says he penned "No Bravery" while crouching next to a tank.

"It seems strange talking about anything to do with that song being 'easy,'" he added, "because everything else in Kosovo was very hard. And performing it is hard, because of the images it portrays. Those images were all there, right in front of us."

Armed with just his songs, Blunt attended the 2003 edition of South By Southwest, the annual indie music confab in Austin, where he performed for an audience of barely 30 people. One of them was former San Diegan Linda Perry, who was about to launch her own record label after writing and producing hits for Pink, Christina Aguilera and others.

Perry offered Blunt an album deal on the spot. While he admits he didn't know who she was at first, he happily accepted. "Back to Bedlam" was recorded in Los Angeles, where he stayed with actress Carrie Fisher, a friend of a friend. He recorded one song, the wistful "Goodbye My Lover," in the (apparently very large) bathroom of Fisher's Coldwater Canyon home.

"I ran out of money and I needed a decent piano, and it sounded good in Carrie's bathroom," Blunt said. "And it (the bathroom) got me back to the emotional head space of that song."

British singer/songwriter James Blunt has shunned her cute and cuddly side and has invested in a gun.

Blunt has bought the weapon that fires only rocks to protect himself from stalkers and obsessive fans at his new millionaires pad in Ibiza.

The 150 year old £1.7million villa reportedly features six bedrooms, a library, sun terrace, stone floors and a swimming pool.

He moved into the villa earlier this year and it has already become popular with souvenir hunters rifling through his bins.

According to the Mirror he said: “I’ve not had my place in Ibiza long but since I’ve been here I’ve experienced a lot of people hanging around outside my house, it’s totally out of order.

“When I came here I just wanted to get away from it all and I just kept to myself so I’d like some privacy in return. I’ve gone out and bought a gun that shoots rocks so if I catch anyone hanging around then I’ll get them with that.

“Some people just go too far, it’s an invasion of privacy.”

If I was him, I’d be enjoying the popularity while it lasts…we’ve got James Morrison now to replace this misery guts!

Although it's been several years since James Blunt was in the army, it seems that old habits die hard.

After believing that he had found a secluded farmhouse on the island of Ibiza in which to escape to for a bit of peace and quiet, the singer has been dismayed to find that eager fans have managed to track him down and loiter at his gates.

The solution? A gun that fires rocks to scare them away.

"I've not had my place in Ibiza long but since I've been here I've experienced a lot of people hanging around outside my house, it's totally out of order," Blunt lamented.

"When I come here I want to get away from it all and I just keep to myself so I'd like some privacy in return. I've gone out and bought a gun that shoots rocks so if I catch anyone hanging around then I'll get them with that.

"Some people just go too far, it's an invasion of privacy."

Blunt's not-so-secret hideaway cost the princely sum of £1.7 million and has six bedrooms, a library, sun terrace and swimming pool.

Singer/songwriter James Blunt has bought a gun that fires rocks to scare away fans who congregate outside his new home on the Spanish island Ibiza. The hitmaker, who has topped charts on both sides of the Atlantic, spent $3 million on his holiday retreat last month and is shocked to find fans have already discovered his hideaway's location.

The 32-year-old, who is a former British Army officer, says, "I've not had my place in Ibiza long but since I've been here, I've experienced a lot of people hanging around outside my house - it's totally out of order.

"When I come here I want to get away from it all and I just keep to myself so I'd like some privacy in return. I've gone out and bought a gun that shoots rocks so if I catch anyone hanging around then I'll get them with that.

In addition to performing hits such as "You're Beautiful" and "High" from his breakthrough album, "Back to Bedlam," Blunt rounds out the show with a cover of the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind."

The DVD will also include a selection of music videos, behind-the-scenes footage and two documentaries.

"It wasn't the pictures of him hugging her that upset me most, it was the one of her sitting smiling with his family that cut me to shreds...

"That was the very end. I could never speak to him again." Pictures of James and Petra Pictures Petra Nemcova

James ended his relationship with long-term love Camilla in April. She reflected:

"If he had been with Petra by then, he had every opportunity to tell me. But maybe he didn't have the courage or decency."

Talking about other celebs that James has been linked with, including Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, Camilla revealed the attention wasn't easy for her to handle.

"It seemed like every month there was another story about James and other women. Mischa Barton, Jessica Sutta from The Pussycat Dolls," she added.

Despite the split, Camilla, who is pursuing her own music career, says she isn't bitter. Pictures Petra Nemcova Pictures Petra Nemcova Pictures Petra Nemcova

She concluded: "What bothers me most is that throughout all this I've been portrayed as this silly socialite victim. I am an heiress, but my life hasn't been easy."

RACY redhead Natalie Loddo has told how she made sweet music with pop’s James Blunt in the back of her Ford Escort.

The stunning military clerk’s fling with the star began when Blunt was a captain in the Household Cavalry.

Welsh Natalie, 26, fell head-over-heels as he sang at a mess disco when they were both based at London’s Knightsbridge barracks.

In a scene straight from hit film An Officer And A Gentleman, James swept married Natalie off her feet dressed in his blues — the regiment’s smart evening uniform.

And she wore his officer’s cap as the star, who topped the charts with You’re Beautiful, made love to her.

Revealing their steamy exploits for the first time, Natalie told The Sun: “James is charming, the most generous lover you could ask for.
Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo
“When I think of him my heart starts beating fast. It’s the same whenever I get near him. We have a real chemistry.”

James, 32, headlined the O2 Wireless Festival in London’s Hyde Park on Saturday night as his new girlfriend, supermodel Petra Nemcova, watched from the wings.

But back in 2000 he was an Army officer based in the training wing of Knightsbridge Barracks.

Natalie had been in the Army for three years when they met. She said: “He was new to the regiment and it was his first time on duty. We had a formal do where all the girls were in their cocktail dresses.

“The disco finished and James got up and played the piano. I thought he was so impressive. I had a few drinks for Dutch courage and went and sat on the stool beside him and started singing along.

“He looked great in his uniform — every woman would agree with me.

“He sat really close to me on the stool and when he finished playing he would put his hand down to the side and touch my leg.

“When I left the mess I was walking to the married quarters and I heard him calling.

“I turned around, he grabbed my hand and led me round the back of the tower block.

"We started kissing but he was quite a bit shorter than I am so I
dragged over a beer crate and he popped himself on top.

“I remember he put his cap on me — it was like a Richard Gere moment. He was really nice. I didn’t get much attention from my husband so it was special.

“We ended up getting it on in the back seat of my Ford Escort nearby.

“We got totally carried away. It was passionate and fast and he kept on asking me to go back to his bunk but I just couldn’t do it.

“He couldn’t have realised I was in the Army until I left and said ‘Goodbye Sir.’ If caught, we would have been court-martialled.”

Natalie struggled to see James as she was still married with young twin sons. But she revealed James had a way with words, especially texts.

Natalie explained: “We kept in contact with really raunchy messages. His texts would say things like, ‘I can’t wait to feel me inside you and touch your naked body. I want to do everything to you’.

“He was a good lover. I would never have gone back for more if he wasn’t.”

But the pair would have to wait for their next liaison.

James left London for three months to do more training abroad.

And the text flirting soon stopped when Natalie’s husband found sexy messages on her phone.

He copied the mobile number and got his mum to call James and warn him to stay away from his wife — which James respected.

Natalie split from her husband soon after. But she was convinced James wouldn’t come back and found love with another soldier.

But James did return later in the year — and the texts started again.

She continued: “The second time we made love was at Halloween.

“I was out with friends in London having a laugh dressed as witches. About midnight I gave James a call.

“He was at home alone.

“I had black lipstick, fishnet tights, a tiny black leather skirt and my hair was back-combed.

“I got a taxi to his place and he couldn’t believe his eyes. As soon as I was through the door it was full-on.

“I used to be shy about my body but James made me feel comfortable.

“It was the first time I had ever laid totally naked in front of somebody.

“I left at 5am. His flat was lovely. Everything was in its place. It wasn’t a bachelor pad. It was more olde worlde than that. He had so much temptation — he was my weak spot and I suppose he still is. Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo
“He is a big charmer. You let your guard down and don’t think of the consequences. He used to tell me I was gorgeous and sexy and things like that.

“It was nice because I had never really had compliments like that.”
Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo James Blunt Natalie Loddo
Then Natalie’s new boyfriend found text messages from James.

He told an officer what was going on and Natalie didn't hear from James
for another four years.


He told an officer what was going on and Natalie didn’t hear from James for another four years.

She left the Army in 2002 to move back to her native Cardiff and raise the twins near her parents.

But in 2005 Natalie opened an Army magazine to read that James had landed a major record deal.

She bought his album and decided to get in touch.

After exchanging e-mails for a few months she arranged to meet him at a gig in Bristol.

She added: “After Bristol the texts were back again.

“I would sleep with my phone underneath my pillow on silent or vibrate so my boyfriend wouldn’t hear it.”

Natalie and James didn’t meet again until he was back from touring America and came to Cardiff in October last year.

She says: “We went back to his dressing room in Cardiff after his gig to have a drink and hang about with the band. Then he sneaked me off to his changing room in the Cardiff Indoor Arena and we got straight into each other.

“It was a real quickie. There were people knocking on the door because we had to leave the building.

“The band were banging on the door while we were rushing to finish. I had just my bra on.

“When I got in I called James but my boyfriend heard our conversation. That was the start of our relationship splitting up.

“James is irresistible. I got in touch again over the last month and I saw him on Saturday at the Wireless Festival in London but his new girlfriend was there.”

On Friday The Sun’s Bizarre revealed a secret demo track James penned about a fling with a married woman when he was in the Army. Natalie suspects it was about her.
Natalie Loddo Bra and Panties Natalie Loddo Bra and Panties Natalie Loddo Bra and Panties Natalie Loddo Bra and Panties Natalie Loddo
She said: “He wrote Alright Tonight at the time we first had sex when I was still married. He sang: ‘leaving that ring on your finger, I’m a sinner you’re a winner.’ ”
Natalie Loddo Bra and Panties Natalie Loddo Bra and Panties Natalie Loddo Bra and Panties Natalie Loddo Bra and Panties Natalie Loddo
James recently had a fling with I’m A Celebrity star Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, who made fun of his manhood in an interview.

Natalie raged: “TPT was out of order.

Pop lothario James Blunt isn’t satisfied with one beautiful woman – he’s been spotted dining out with socialite Paris Hilton.

The You’re Beautiful warbler – who has been dating stunning Czech model Petra Nemcova – enjoyed an intimate dinner with Hilton in London’s exclusive Cuckoo Club on Friday night.
However, whether it was down to his girlfriend or utter lack of charm, the pair went their separate ways after the meal.

Perhaps the words of Petra’s long-term ex-boyfriend Donaes Platteel were ringing in his ears.
He gushes to the News Of The World, “James is a very lucky boy because she's a really wonderful lover, sensational. Absolutely faultless. He'll be having the best sex ever. Petra is so amazing. You only have to look at her. She has a body to die for.

“Really, it is the most perfect female body in the world. If God wanted to make the perfect woman, he would create Petra. All her curves are perfectly proportioned. She is truly a beautiful person - and passionate, too. She is such a sensual lady."

You’d almost think Platttel sounds gutted Petra’s moved on. Not so, assures the Armani model.
"It's not difficult for me to deal with Petra having sex with James. He is a really cool guy and I'm happy for her. I have to let her go and give her her freedom. I'm over it," he says.

Really? No, really!

“We go together twice a year on universal energy courses, which keep your mind focused spiritually. Petra and I still have a good friendship.”

Universal energy course? Is that a euphemism?

American women intimidate Singer James Blunt, because they are so much taller than the British women he is used to dating. Blunt, who is currently dating Eastern European beauty Petra Nemkova, is self-conscious about his height and finds tall women in the US make him feel even more insecure.

He explains, "American women are an inch taller (than British women). An inch makes a huge difference to me, because I'm a pretty small guy."

The singer insists his mother has always compared him to Tom Cruise, but he didn't think it had anything to do with his height - until now.

He adds, "I'm not as small as him, but maybe she's having a subversive dig!"

Yesterday, as she continued her remarkable recovery, her parents said they were convinced the former No. 1 hit had helped her pull through. "Claudia loves You're Beautiful. She used to sing it all the time," her father Paul De'Alwis, 40. "After the accident the doctors warned us she might not make it. It was an unforgettable moment when she opened her eyes."

Claudia fractured her skull when she fell while playing at a friend's house.

It seems that James Blunt’s International hit, You’re Beatiful, isn’t all bad. The song has been credited for pulling a girl out of a ten-day coma.

Claudia Amber Dealwis opened her eyes for the first time since an accident as the Blunt track - her favourite song - was played on the radio at Burnley General Hospital in England.

The little girl fractured her skull after falling 15 feet over a balcony.

"I'm so relieved she is out of the coma,” her dad divulged. "Claudia loves that song and is always singing it."

“It's like her very own little theme tune."

Just in case you wanted some more James Blunt news, the squeaky singer has admitted that American women scare him. The pint-sized popstar yesterday confessed that: "American women are an inch taller (than British women).

We’ll leave it at that.

A GIRL of five woke from a 10-day coma after hearing her favourite James Blunt song You're Beautiful on the hospital radio.

Claudia Dealwis's parents Paul and Gaynor, both 40, cried tears of joy and hugged her as her eyes finally opened.

Paul said: "We were just so relieved she is out of the coma. We couldn't believe it.

"Claudia loves that song and is always singing it. It's like her very own little theme tune.

"When it came on the hospital radio we could just see her starting to move a bit and we knew she was beginning to wake up.

"When she opened her eyes and acknowledged us we were so relieved. Every little movement was like a massive step.""

Doctors had feared Claudia might not pull through after she fell head first over a 15ft balcony at a friend's house and fractured her skull. She landed head first on the hallway floor and lost consciousness three weeks ago.

Claudia, who is recovering at Burnley Hospital, is still paralysed in her right arm and leg, but she is starting to move more and more.

Contract cleaning boss Paul said: "Claudia's brain is still so young which means it still has the capacity to learn so she should be able to walk again. She walked 10 yards yesterday.

"The doctors told us straightaway that it was a case of life and death. They were fighting to save her life.

"She is progressing slowly and hopefully she can do it. The last three weeks seemed like a lifetime but we believe that she will pull through this."

After a horrific headfirst fall from a 15ft high balcony, there were fears Claudia De'Alwis might not survive.

For ten days she lay in a coma in hospital, her distraught parents praying at her bedside for a miracle.

But it was only when the five-year-old's favourite song - You're Beautiful by James Blunt - came on the hospital radio that she finally began to awaken.

More • Read the a selection of lyrics to You're Beautiful here

Yesterday, as she continued to make a remarkable recovery, her mother and father said they were convinced that the melody of the singer's Number One hit had helped her pull through.

"Claudia loves You're Beautiful and she used to sing it all the time," said her father Paul, 40. "It was like her theme tune.

"Following the accident, the doctors warned us she might not make it, and after ten days in a coma we were desperately worried that she wasn't going to recover.

"But then the song came on the radio and she started to move for the first time, and we could tell she was starting to wake up.

"It was an unforgettable moment when she opened her eyes and acknowledged us at last.

"Since then it's been tough but she hasn't looked back, she's a real fighter, and I'm sure that hearing the song she loves so much helped her come round."

Claudia, an only child, fell from a first-floor balcony onto a hallway floor while playing at a friend's house last month, suffering a fractured skull.

Her father Paul, a property developer, and mother Gaynor Turner, 40, a bank clerk, live in a bungalow in Burnley, Lancashire, and they fear she was unused to the dangers of heights.

After being stabilised at the accident and emergency unit of her local hospital, she was transferred to Royal Manchester Children's Hospital in Pendlebury where her parents spent ten days at her bedside around the clock praying for her to recover.

"The doctors told us straight away that it was a case of life and death," said Mr De'Alwis. "We broke down when we saw the state of her.

"She was strapped down with tape everywhere so that she couldn't move for her own safety, but she was unconscious anyway.

"The doctors said she might not make it and if she did she might not speak, or may be brain-damaged or paralysed."

But after her remarkable recovery her parents now hope the youngster, who goes to Wellfield Church School, Burnley, will be able to go home in time for her sixth birthday next month.

"She is still paralysed in the right arm and leg, but she is starting to move more and more," said Mr De'Alwis. "She can already walk a few yards and we've been told she should be able to go home in about two weeks' time.

"Claudia is a fantastic, really strong little girl. She has a better social life than I do - she does martial arts, swimming and ballet. That's what we think saved her life, as she is such a fit little girl."

Harrow-educated Blunt, a former cavalry officer, has sold six million copies of the album from which You're Beautiful is taken, Back to Bedlam.

But the 32-year-old has faced accusations that his music is bland while being publicly linked with a series of lovers including socialite Tara Palmer Tomkinson and model Petra Nemcova.

Consultant neurosurgeon Donald Campbell said that while there was no specific evidence that patients are helped by sounds, families often find them a help.
