James Blunt had the perfect response to a fan who said his Bruce Springsteen cover bettered the original

James Blunt was on Radio 2 to talk about his new album (and other stuff) and to liven things up a bit, he decided not only to play his own songs but cover a Bruce Springsteen one too.

Specifically, this one.

And this James Blunt fan loved it so much he went on Twitter for the first time ever just to tweet Blunt to tell him how much he enjoyed it.

My first tweet, downloaded twitter just to message you this your bruce springsteen cover on radio 2. Think ive listened over 100times, outstanding doesnt cover it. Better than original. New fan.

Poor Tony. Actually, he probably loved it.

Reminded us of when someone said this, coming from a slightly different angle, after Blunt appeared with Springsteen on the Graham Norton Show.

To which Blunt said …

And just in case you want to compare and contrast for yourself.
