Someone's out of synch with popular opinion.

I wonder is it Ed???

Na... don't think so.

I'm in my fifties; I like the sound of his music. I like the lyrics in his songs. I like the sound of his voice.

Didn't know who he was for a while, but he seems to be a nice person.

Nobody told me what to like.

I don't think I've ever heard something he's wrote/performed.

I stopped listening to the latest music when MTV stopped playing the latest music. So about 10 years ago.

You mean bands have never been manufactured before ? Portray an image to sell more records ? You would swear they would crate the same lp 12 times with a different picture on it just to sell more. :pac::pac::pac:

wandatowell

I dont listen to him but from what I gather he writes his own music. For that I'd hold him in a higher regard than most of the modern music.



Meh, really.

Don't like him, I find this whole acoustic guitar, folksy singer song writer thing to be extermely tiresome in general, with some notable exceptions. Mumford and his fcking son have a lot to answer for.

However...at least he plays an instrument, sings without autotune and performs live. Already he is better than 95% of the rest of the dross you kids listen too.

Ah let him have his 15 minutes op, he will be gone soon

How is ______________ so popular ??

Insert whoever takes your fancy ( One Direction / Take That / Boyzone / Westlife / Bay City Rollers / Showaddywaddy ..............)

As much as he's not my cup of tea, he seems to have both talent and the fact that he got to where he is now through hard work (as opposed to going the X Factor route) going for him. Fair fooks to the guy.

Everyone has different tastes, I'd be a pretty big fan of his. I get how people wouldn't be into all of his music, especially some of the stuff that's over played on the radio. I honestly think I See Fire is such a beautiful song, and different to a lot of his stuff you might hear on the radio. But everyone likes different stuff, he's clearly doing something right anyway!

For a fella with a severe debilitating disability (gingerness) he's done well for himself.

Q: What would Ed Sheeran be if he wasnt famous?

A: A virgin

Brego888

I don't like popular things because I'm cool.

I thought he was an Irish comic until the Late Late toy Show when he came out singing to a 10 year old girl. Really.

He generally writes, plays and performs his own music, seems like a nice enough fella who's worked relatively hard to get where he is. For that he needs to be commended. Probably a better role model than most artists for the youth of today as well.

His music appeals to many and as with any artist, lots of people don't like it either.
Fair play to him, would love to have the problems he has.
I am sure all the haters keep him awake at night as he sleeps in his gold plated blankets.........

Continuing with that subject mattter, why would anyone start a thread about Ed Sheeran?

Micky Dolenz

I like that one song where he hangs out with a cat and is pissed all the time. Pretty much sums up my life, only that I don't have a cat. The rest of his stuff I don't really get.

mad muffin

I find him extremely shït…

For this reason alone makes me believe he must have talent.

The_Valeyard

Seems like a genuinely nice guy. Fair play to him and all his success.

Mr.McLovin

he must have talent as he is as ugly as sin

TheMilkyPirate

Music is very opinionated incase you hadn't noticed. If everyone liked the same music it would be a very boring world. I'll listen to anything from Nirvana to Nicki minaj, If I like the sound of a song and it gives me a buzz I listen regardless of genre, artist etc..

He writes his own music, plays his own instruments, performs live and got where he is through hard work and dedication. Nothing wrong with that. Just because you don't like the music doesn't make it shite.

the evasion_kid

Ever since the whole late late show thing I've noticed he's become more popular,comes across as a real wholesome guy,the type you could bring home to your parents.......I'll give it a few months until the scandals about him start making the tabloids

Hes good - a breath of fresh air IMO
