Blind-Item Blues: The Saddest Singer On The Cross-Continental Flight

emoticon-sad.jpg“Which mournful solo artist is obsessed with his own level of fame? After convincing himself on a recent flight to Australia that he would be mobbed in the streets, the scrawny singer was nonplussed that most Aussies didn’t recognize him.” [Gatecrasher]

    I would say Constantine Maroulis (whu?), but I doubt he would make it through the livestock inspection at Australian customs.

    I’m going with James Blunt too.

    Based on one interview I read with James Blunt, he seems entirely probable.

    Clay Aiken.

    Oh wait, male and scrawny you say?

    I change my guess to Courtney Love.

    @Michaelangelo Matos: Hahaha, this I could see.

    Morrissey?

    No, he’d fight the crowd and then go eat some aparagus.

    bbernardini wins this one, hands-down.

    @Michaelangelo Matos: @Ned Raggett: Ding ding ding.

    He toured Australia for a week last month, would conceivably know the same people Widdicombe does. (Also, Widdicombe = Aussie.)

    Encyclopedia Brown, out.

    @Jack Fear: does that mean we can’t keep guessing???

    I hope it’s James Blunt. From personal experience, none of the others are popular enough to be able to convince themselves that they’d be mobbed. Blunt has the ego too.

    Kelly Clarkson’s the only American Idol winner who’s had ANY exposure around here.
