James Blunt announces the new name chosen by the public.
Exciting news, everyone! James Blunt, the 50-year-old crooner behind the smash hit "You're Beautiful," has officially announced his new name. And let me tell you, it's quite a doozy. After teasing the possibility of a name change if his debut album Back to Bedlam hit number one again on its 20th anniversary, fans came through and voted for the moniker 'Blunty McBluntface.' Yes, you heard that right. Blunty McBluntface.
In a hilarious video posted on Friday, October 11, Blunt fully embraces the comical outcome as he heads to a meeting and introduces himself to the receptionist. Of course, she has no idea who Blunty McBluntface is and James struggles to come up with any other name options before finally revealing the winning name. With a resigned sigh, he proclaims, "I am Blunty McBluntface," and then adds with a chuckle, "People have no imagination."
But this isn't the first time Blunt has toyed with the idea of changing his name. In a previous video, he promised to make the switch if fans could get Back to Bedlam back to number one on the charts. And now, here we are.
But where did this unusual name choice come from? Well, it's a nod to the infamous 'Boaty McBoatface' fiasco of 2016, where the public was asked to name a new British research vessel. The overwhelming winner was Boaty McBoatface, but the ship was ultimately named RRS Sir David Attenborough, with the name Boaty McBoatface being given to a smaller research submersible.
On October 1, Blunt first announced his plans for a name change in celebration of Back to Bedlam's 20th anniversary. Along with a re-release of the album and a tour, he released a video asking his fans to "absolutely f**k [his] life" by getting the album back to number one. He even joked about his past nicknames, such as "the most hated man in pop" and "James Beige," before leaving the final decision up to the public.
But don't worry, there's a catch. Blunt has one condition for the name change – Back to Bedlam must reclaim the number one spot. If not, he's keeping his current name. As he puts it, "it's safe to say this is the most important democratic moment of the year."
This isn't the first time Blunt has entertained us with his clever online antics. Since bursting onto the scene with Back to Bedlam in 2004, he has not only charmed us with his music but also with his hilarious social media presence. And with hits like "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover," it's no wonder his debut album became one of the best-selling albums of the 2000s.
So, to all of James Blunt's adoring fans, get ready to embrace his new name – Blunty McBluntface. And if you've got a celebrity story, video, or pictures to share, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We'd love to hear from you.
