This man is the KING of Twitter comebacks. My favourite is "Why does James Blunt always sing like his willy is being stood on?" The reply, "Damn thing's always getting stuck under my feet." Just genius. :)

He could be a comedian he has a sharp wit and a good sense of humor

[bobbyhood]

He has a wicked sense of humor and I love how he pegs his haters!

This man can shoot with Guitar, Guns & Tweets

“Contrary to what his name suggests, James blunt really beats around the bush”
“Your mum didn’t seem to mind”

He has his act together, very sharp with quick come backs - he has a great sarcastic humor, very funny. I enjoy watching him in interviews as well as singing. Love his music. Listening to 'If Time Is All I have" soothing, quiet, melody. I would like to see Blunt and Sheeran do a few more songs together, ballads.

The best ever reply James blunt did was to this question (paraphrased). "What has your music ever got you?", his reply "No mortage and a beautiful wife!".

James Blunt is a decent bloke who served his country. Funny and not a bad singer either. Would the people that criticise him do it face to face. Imagine the fragile celeb types getting that much hate nowadays, they would go into a total melt down.

James Blunt on Top Gear with Jeremy Clarkson is the best interview ever . Top bloke 👍

[MrPeterpiper]

Another fantastic comeback from Blunt.
"Why does James Blunt only have 200, 000 followers?'
Jesus only needed 12.

"I think I'm not the only person who can't stand Chelsea" would be a good response

[michg]

James we love you, ignore the haters put them before God, your voice is beautiful

[camelo]

go see him in concert....his sense of humor is as much the show as his music. True entertainer.

[laimavilne]

I love James Blant, good singer and sense of humour.More duets with Ed Sheeran.

[janejohnstone]

He is really well spoken, ...very educated, he does not have a deep voice, ..has a good sense of humour, ...needs it for the critical comments he gets.

[HalleyBay]

What a bloke, I admire him very much.

[nicolenemeaker]

I might start a Twitter account just to read your come backs!

[VegasBabe]

Well I love you James and your music. Ignore the haters, they have no taste or class!
