How Many James Blunts Does It Take To Make A Cover For An Album You'll Never Buy?

1,000! The Sun reports that "snaps of James – from babyhood to megastar – are used to make a collage of his face on the album, which will be released on September 17." You say massive display of vanity, we say welcome to 1998.

his SNL performance from a few years back remains the most fucked up thing i've seen on a television ever. i fully expected him to pull out his lipstick and his legal pad of future kills after the song.

he broke the only rule in live television performance: don't stare at the camera like a fucking lunatic douchebag.

there are no other rules.

Oh my god, I almost forgot the SNL performance. That was terrifying.

I thought no one would trump that Satellite Party album cover in terms of sheer awfulness, at least not in my lifetime. Thanks for proving me wrong, Blunt.

Apparently I'm not the only one who has trouble stomaching James Blunt. Especially every time I hear "You're Beautiful" played a gajillion times on the radio.

this might just beat his blatant rip off of Jamie Lidell's Multiply cover.

i guess, why bother when your music is about as exciting as a warm up of milk?
