Is this tweet a reference to something? To me it just sounds like a dude who smoked something, made this joke amongst his high buddies and decided it was funny enough for Twitter (which tbh, it did make me chuckle but I too am high rn)
That is singer and songwriter James Blunt who has some big hits including "You're Beautiful", which contained the lyric:
"She could see from my face that I was
Fucking high"
He has become a fairly famous Twitter user for his tongue-in-cheek and very much non-serious tweets.

No matter how hard I try to get used to it, whenever someone sends me an "X . com" link I immediately think it's porn. It's such a weird move from "Twitter" which is straight up iconic at this point
I did hear multiple times of people thinking X is porn, not knowing it is Twitter.
Also heard of people getting an notification from X, an bystander getting an glimpse, and aslo thinking it was an notification from an porn site. Which is kinda awkward
Would have been funnier and welcomed if he just changed it to a different animal sound instead. Like honker would be funny but hisser would be ironic as hell tbh 😂
I remember seeing him on an old UK music based quiz show called Nevermind the Buzzcocks. I went away thinking he came across as a nice, down to earth, very funny guy who doesn't mind laughing at himself. Everything I've seen since seems to confirm that. James Blunt is OK in my book.
His music is still godawful though
He's said multiple times in interviews that he agrees with you. He *knows* that he makes garbage pop ballads to pay the bills. Being self-aware about the quality of his music makes him a little better.
Reminds me that Anthony Costa (UK 2011) was on there too, Simon Amstell really roasted him but he took it brilliantly, he went up on my estimation after that
His discography does have some Eurovision potential. Even his recent-ish song Beside You could easily be eurovisionified. So his ambitions are off to a good start.
His vocals aren't the most pleasant to people and his music style just wouldn't be popular with most of the voting base. He also doesn't have the same level of energy or stage presence that other artists have that plays a big part in things.
He's a very quiet and closeted artist when he performs and big grand acts like Eurovision aren't his vibe. But man has a stellar sense of humour and personal take for commentary that I think would work well and be funny.
Imo he would do really well, mainly with juries. He can really pull off emotional, spotlight on piano ballads. Every performance I’ve seen him do of Goodbye My Lover, he really draws you in. He’d be different, but different is what we need
James Blunt served as a NATO soldier in Kosovo. Therefore, if he participates in Eurovision, the Serbian televote and juries are definitely ranking him dead last.
I do believe he would understand the assignment and do well. He was close with Carrie Fisher as well, which is totally unrelated but bonus points nonetheless.
He's also not wrong, that is basically exactly what happened, just his own Command above himself vetoed said orders as well. The Pristina Airport incident could have gotten VERY ugly if cooler heads didn't prevail to disobey those orders.
I've said for years that Back To Bedlam is a seriously underrated record. Which isn't difficult, due to it being more hated than papercuts, but it's honestly genuinely pretty good.
Is it hated? It did incredibly well at the time. It was the best selling UK album of the 2000s until Amy Winehouse's Back to Black in 2011 and is the biggest selling debut album by a British artist.
It's a great album. For sure I know a bunch that don't like his music but I don't think it's accurate to say the album is generally hated.
His music really does suck. but he’s brilliant on Twitter, doesn’t take himself seriously and uses the backlash he gets for his music in a positive way. Not sure I’d want him anywhere near Eurovision as an artist but he might make a good host if the UK miraculously wins again.
If James Blunt did end up representing us it would be insanely iconic on multiple levels. Not sure about the end results but we would all have a very fun time!
His collab with Sinik, Je Réalise, is my preferred mode of musical James Blunt [Je Réalise](https://youtu.be/vy-313FF7u0?si=D_57EMVlTpcnr5Lg)
We could field a joint entry with France 👀
I didn't listen to James Blunt before I married my husband. Then he took me to a concert and it was the best concert I've ever been to.
Now I like a lot of his songs and don't mind when my husband plays the albums.
I can tell from this tweet that he is fucking high.
*hits blunt*
Yep, you’re disqualified
It's true
the weed cloud was a threatening gesture towards the staff at the venue, it's a valid reason
Part of our “zero tolerance policy”
r/Austria just responded, they said the disqualification is disproporsional
Don't threaten me with a good time
Hehehehehehe I don't know if enough people remember the uncensored version to get the joke though.

Come on, that song is not THAT old - oh nevermind. 2004.
Lmfao
Pretty blunt statement.

I was never a huge fan of his music, but he is a top tier Tweeter.
> Tweeter. You see Musk, this is why your stupid name change will never really catch on. X'er just doesn't have the same ring to it.
It just makes people sound like they're a member of Gen X
Or a p*** site
No matter how hard I try to get used to it, whenever someone sends me an "X . com" link I immediately think it's porn. It's such a weird move from "Twitter" which is straight up iconic at this point
Try Xitter, pronounced [ˈʃɪt.ə] 🥰
I go with tweets for normal tweets and xeets for terrible ones nowadays. Only change in my lingo from his billion dollar post divorce midlife crisis.
That just makes me think of zits
I'd like to reconXitter
I did hear multiple times of people thinking X is porn, not knowing it is Twitter. Also heard of people getting an notification from X, an bystander getting an glimpse, and aslo thinking it was an notification from an porn site. Which is kinda awkward
To be fair, every other post on xitter is porn bots now
X'er is how you say a nail (ex. nail in the coffin) in some parts of Croatia.

"So when *was* the last time you had the city on lockdown?"
I do appreciate his ability to make fun of himself 10/10
He did a Reddit AMA and roasted many people, including myself.
His discography does have some Eurovision potential. Even his recent-ish song Beside You could easily be eurovisionified. So his ambitions are off to a good start.
besides you was low-key a bop ngl
James Blunt wouldn't suit Eurovision, but holy fuck he'd make an epic host and would say some funny shit when he's high.
Gotta ask, why do you think he wouldn’t suit Eurovision, his music or him?
His vocals aren't the most pleasant to people and his music style just wouldn't be popular with most of the voting base. He also doesn't have the same level of energy or stage presence that other artists have that plays a big part in things. He's a very quiet and closeted artist when he performs and big grand acts like Eurovision aren't his vibe. But man has a stellar sense of humour and personal take for commentary that I think would work well and be funny.

James Blunt served as a NATO soldier in Kosovo. Therefore, if he participates in Eurovision, the Serbian televote and juries are definitely ranking him dead last.
Jury? Yes. Televote? Did you watch Eurovision this year???
What do you mean?
A majority of a country can be rooting heavily against a country but still give them 12
The next Engelbert Humperdinck.
James blunt is a good shout for us. I think he suits Eurovision quite well
I do believe he would understand the assignment and do well. He was close with Carrie Fisher as well, which is totally unrelated but bonus points nonetheless.
He also claims he helped avoid "World War III" by disobeying an order when he was a captain in Kosovo.
Well, the way it's going lately, Eurovision definitely needs contestants who have experience in preventing World War 3.
Not knowing the context of this is entertaining enough to leave it at that lol.
He's also not wrong, that is basically exactly what happened, just his own Command above himself vetoed said orders as well. The Pristina Airport incident could have gotten VERY ugly if cooler heads didn't prevail to disobey those orders.
He did. Him and another guy diffused the prishtina airport incident. James blunt is an absolute legend 😂
I've said for years that Back To Bedlam is a seriously underrated record. Which isn't difficult, due to it being more hated than papercuts, but it's honestly genuinely pretty good.
Wisemen is a legit bop
Is it hated? It did incredibly well at the time. It was the best selling UK album of the 2000s until Amy Winehouse's Back to Black in 2011 and is the biggest selling debut album by a British artist. It's a great album. For sure I know a bunch that don't like his music but I don't think it's accurate to say the album is generally hated.
Not a bad shout tbf. I could see a result similar to Germany this year, with a low televote score but doing well with the jury.
I want Jimbo at Eurovision
Scotland is fine with this, since he's only representing England 😖
James Blunt is pretty much the only thing I miss since not being on Twitter
I would swore for my life that Broken Strings with Nelly Furtado was written by him But according to my good friend google it´s a James Morrison song
Let him, he would bring up the average and every year we can look forward to all of Europe saying “and here’s james”
Finally Uk won't have more last places. LOL
Fuck it, why not. Could be fun.
His music really does suck. but he’s brilliant on Twitter, doesn’t take himself seriously and uses the backlash he gets for his music in a positive way. Not sure I’d want him anywhere near Eurovision as an artist but he might make a good host if the UK miraculously wins again.
A lot of his hits were written/co-written by Sacha Skarbek, who also co-wrote UK 2012
United Kingdom 2012 | [Engelbert Humperdinck - Love Will Set You Free](https://youtu.be/rXw4Q5jbNqQ)
He could perform in a tank. Or would that be classed as political..
If James Blunt did end up representing us it would be insanely iconic on multiple levels. Not sure about the end results but we would all have a very fun time!
Isn't he the guy who sings Goodbye My Lover??
"President" of England? So he is anti-monarchist?
"Republican", as they say in Britain. Americans are confused.
Why not? It’s got to be a new song each year so it’s not like it’ll be You’re Beautiful on repeat.
No matter what they say?
Oh please god, no 🤦🏻♀️. Although his characteristic humour = great, as per 😂😁
His collab with Sinik, Je Réalise, is my preferred mode of musical James Blunt [Je Réalise](https://youtu.be/vy-313FF7u0?si=D_57EMVlTpcnr5Lg) We could field a joint entry with France 👀
> *President of England* I never even knew James was a republican
I feel like Monsters would have done amazingly
I mean, what's the worst that can happen?
I didn't listen to James Blunt before I married my husband. Then he took me to a concert and it was the best concert I've ever been to. Now I like a lot of his songs and don't mind when my husband plays the albums.
I'm sure he can fulfil at least one of these goals.
Honestly I wish they would ask him because he would go full Eurovision and ham it up to the nines
It's what the man deserves after preventing world war three.
[La Zarra summoned him.](https://youtu.be/w6iE4zWhrYI?si=pEX5TmL47LoBcSfK&t=48)
Another 0 points guaranteed
So,he doesn't want the King anymore!
Why not?
President of England? England doesn't have a president!
I would vote so many times for James Blunt. His new music is so good!
I agree with him.
What a loser
