as Slate said (http://www.slate.com/id/2136577/): Blunt has a little wrinkle on the formula: He's a horny toad. He's a certifiable member of what Elvis Costello once called the " 'Fuck me, I'm sensitive,' Jackson Brown school of seduction," confessing his way into the sack, and that smarm is why he's generated repulsion in some quarters. Among other things, he's inspired a new Cockney rhyming slang term, in which his name is used in place of … a word that rhymes with Blunt. (If someone in London calls you a "right James," they're not being nice.) A bit harsh perhaps, but with "You're Beautiful"-a song about leering at a girl on a subway that begins, "My life is brilliant/ My love is pure"-he was asking for trouble.
