  Why is there a picture of Ed Sheeran on the thumbnail when he's not mentioned at all in the video? It's not the first time, please stop baiting like that

  Wow. Justin seems incredibly held back and withholding when interviewed - not a bad thing, necessarily, but there&apos;s a sort of wall of ice there that I didn&apos;t expect. I&apos;ve watched a lot of his videos on his own channel over the years and he strikes me as an intelligent guy. What I read from this interview is that...he is very on guard in this context. <br><br>(It&apos;s right to be on guard with Andrew imo, not because as an interviewer he&apos;s trying to catch you out, but I definitely would not feel relaxed being interviewed by him, because at any moment things can take a hairpin turn in a way that means I would never trust the good moments lol maybe that&apos;s all to the benefits of his interviews)

  The James Blunt thing. They were all slagging him off. Damon Albarn, Paul Weller, one of the Oasis guys. It was at that year&apos;s Mercury Awards or some similar award ceremony. Blunt had just won the big prize for his You&apos;re Beautiful song, So it should have been his shining moment, bathing in the warm glow of accolades from his peers. Instead, his peers were all knocking him down; the Damon Albarn photo thing you mention in this video, and Paul Weller said something about rather eating dog feces than have anything to do with that song. But you know who wasn&apos;t slagging him off? The late Keith from The Prodigy. The crazy one, the madman one, with the piercings and the crazy hair. Because of his over-the-top appearance and vibe, I&apos;d have assumed he&apos;d also have been part of team let&apos;s-rubbish-James-Blunt -- &apos;oh please, not that namby-pamby girly song!&apos; - but in fact (at least according to Blunt), Keith was the only one from that insider cool-kids-club to show him any kindness. Keith walked up to Blunt and gave him a hug and congratulated him: &apos;Well done, mate! Your song&apos;s a huge hit, congratulations!&apos; Or words to that effect. Just goes to show you, people are not always who you think they are.

  Well in Israel, many people have religious tattoos... so many people have tattoos that it&apos;s impossible not to bury them in Jewish cemeteries

  Justin is good at analysing song structure. Not sure what this was.
