Who would win in such a contest?

Lets say, caged match, no weapons, only fists.

Also, just the singers, no bandmates.

Easy. Ben folds Blunt.

Ah, Thank you very much!

Doesn't James Blunt have military training? I doubt if Ben Folds has any military training, unless you count the Girl Scouts.

Who's James Blunt?

James Blunt sings "You're Beautiful". I guess it's pretty popular right now. I like the song.

Ben wouldn't even have to take a swing. That dude from Coldplay would show up and beat the crap out of Blunt for bitin' his style. Then Thom Yorke would drop by and beat the crap out of the dude from Coldplay, then go screw Gwyneth Paltrow. And then Ben Folds would sing "Underground" and everyone would go home happy.

What a beautiful world it would be.

Peeing sitting down is the gift you give yourself.

Or... Ben Folds could join up with Ben Lee and Ben Kweller and form the Bens (like they did back in the day) and form an ultimate fighting ninja robot thing that sings awesome songs. Or Ben Kweller could kick all their asses no sweat. Because he's Ben Kweller, and he's from Texas.

Ben Folds, because they would call on the help of those crazies from Book of Black Earth. Then the BBE guys would eat Blunt and start screaming into various microphones.

I'd say Ben Folds, just because James Blunt sounds like a sissy.

Ben thought about army, his dad said "son, you're fucking high".

James Blunt is universally accepted as being a complete cock-stabber. He's hated throughout the music industry and anyone who's taste in music is worth paying attention to knows that he sucks.

I hereby cut all ties with anyone who owns and/or likes anything James Blunt has ever produced.

Ben Folds would join forces with his two other bandmates, and then channel the spirits of the two other non-existent members of Ben Folds Five (God rest their souls), and form Foldstron, Defender of the Universe.

I don't think anyone can defeat Foldstron. He's driven by the memories of his dead homies.

Galactus is driven by his need to live. Galactus would devour the life force of puny Foldstron, for he wields the power cosmic. It has been written.

I've actually never seen or heard James Blunt. I just assumed Ben Folds was wimpier than everybody else.

The next person to include the great Ben Folds in the same sentence as the lamewad James Blunt is banned.

Starting now!

No way man. James Blunt is jumping on the "I want to sound like Coldplay" bandwagon. Which therefore makes him way wimpier.

I think Coldplay though is jumping on the "Ben folds five/Five 4 fighting" bandwagon.

Well, I still think Ben Folds is a big, fat, hopping-around-behind-a-piano wimp. And his little pussy songs suck.

Ben Folds has gotten pretty darn lame lately. It can't be argued. However, his solo album "Rockin' The Suburbs" is actually really good. And though I probably shouldn't factor in his work with the Five, since this is just about the singers and not the bands, "Whatever And Ever Amen" is also good. And their self-titled release is actually great.

James Blunt is just crap. His lyrics, compositions, voice, all are bland bland bland. Well, not his voice. That's just annoying as fuck. His music is uninspired and pointless. Some of the songs on "Back To Bedlam" aren't too awful, but none of them are good enough to redeem the disc.

The Final Verdict: Ben Folds has lost a lot of steam lately. 2005's "Songs For Silverman" is easily the worst release he's put out, with the Five or without. Still, I'd still rather listen to that than James Blunt's 2005 crapola, "Back To Bedlam". Ben takes James out in the second round to an eruption of bored sounding "Yay, I guess." from the audience. Ben wins.

And as a sideshow, Ben Kweller gets his teeth knocked out by everyone on Earth for being a clinically-acclaimed Pavement copycat.
