i cant believe the hype , average at best


this is precisely WHY he gets away with it.

There was a funny comment I read somewhere that said Sheeran is for people who find Coldplay a bit too edgy.

It's exceedingly bland, middle of the road, safe and uninspiring music. Enough to register a reaction, but nothing to overwhelm. The Michael McIntyre of music. Exactly the same as Adele, and before her Dido, although they both cornered the female whiny break up sector.

It's pop music for people who don't really like music. And there are positively millions of them prepared to chow down on this insipid swill.

and that's not to discredit Sheeran, all credit to him for his success, he seems to be rather likable, he's got a good voice and apparently is a good live act. Rather, it's just an observation that his success is not a measure of the quality of his output, which in itself is nothing new in music.

ed has this hand sign on his album cover? how does he get away with it? deal with the devil.

most talented since Robbie Williams

Couple of his songs are half decent but his album (X is it called?) is full of same-sounding fillers.

I used to give him some credit for being a songwriter, but after his recent out-of-court settlement for stealing some washed-up X factor's song, I'M OUT
