I can't go for that
ok, so dont compare them to eachother, compare how they perform within their own contexts. jeff was ground-breaking. his music is beautiful, its stirring. his lyrics are sordid and spun with meaning.ryan11 said:And how do you gauge that opinion? Just because of his mainstream success? Jeff Buckley and James Blunt are incomparable because they're from different periods, different backgrounds and ultimately different styles. Speaking of José, he's not THAT great...
there's nothing unusual about james blunt. the composition of his sound is mundane and ordinary. i find his voice highly irritating. i know thats personal opinion, but looking at the musical components of his music.. it's not exactly groundbreaking stuff. and many of his songs are very similar. whilst i know im kinda shooting myself in the foot to use examples from two of his most commercialised songs, but listen to the choruses of "you're beautiful" and "goodbye my lover" and the musical structure of the two in terms of melodic phrasing is almost identical, just in different keys.
