"You're Beautiful," which was nominated as Song of the Year in various music awards and was included in several top music charts in the United States, Europe, and Australia, has been described by its singer, James Blunt "annoying," reports said Monday.
According to a news report published by the AFP, the song, which was released in 2005, has made the British singer and songwriter's name.
AFP cited a news report published by celebrity news magazine Hello! wherein Blunt revealed that he found his hit song "You're Beautiful" "annoying."
"There was one song that was force-fed down people's throats, 'You're Beautiful', and it became annoying, and then people start to associate the artist with the same word," Blunt said in an exclusive interview with Hello! magazine, AFP report said.
The song was based on Blunt's experience when he saw his former girlfriend on the subway -- already with another man. These words were also part of the song's lyrics.
The singer admits that his songs are mainly "marketed to women" and that bearing the image of an "insanely serious person, an earnest person," is part of the deal -- even though he's not, he revealed in the interview.
The track has sold over three million copies. It is part of Blunt's 2004 debut album "Back to Bedlam," the "most-sold in United Kingdom in the 2000s," AFP reported.
The song has also received Grammy nominations for "Record and Song of the Year" in 2007, nominations from the Brit Awards, MTV Europe and MTV Philippines Awards. It also bagged the "International Hit of the Year Award" in the Ivor Novello Awards and was hailed "Song of the Year" by MTV Australia.
His album "Back to Bedlam," meanwhile received various nominations from Grammy, Billboard Music Awards, Brit Awards, among others. Blunt, through this song and album, won "Best New Artist of the Year" in the World Music Awards. He was also named Best International Newcomer by NRJ Music Awards and ECHO Music Awards in 2006.
According to his official website, Blunt has various upcoming shows in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Norway, Slovakia, Romania, Czech Republic, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, and UK before the year ends.
