If you actually thought a person was actually getting upset about it for some reason, you'd stop. As for Sheeran, I don't really see the attraction (musically or folically) but to each their own.

It's a bit of a ridiculous thing to say really. I like Ed Sheeran. Generally, pop music would be fairly far down in my list of listened to genres. Ed Sheeran (and P!nk, among a select few others) would be an exception. He really gained my respect with I See Fire. He also doesn't play all teenage love songs. I'm one of the least romantic people out there and I still like his music. To be honest, the hatred on this thread reminds me of primary school with its level of ridiculousness. Is it cool to hate him now? I'm afraid I'm not up to date with what's "cool" but, on this thread at least, those against him are at the same level of unreasonableness as One Direction teen superfans. Why his talent and singing voice are being called into question is perplexing. It's like one big school yard game where people try to out do one another by saying how much they dislike him, completely losing track of any reasonableness. I don't even like the guy enough to buy tickets but find some posts on this thread to be silly in the extreme.

I’m very happy for everyone to be in the same race as me, even if they copy every single thing I’ve done. "In a 100m sprint to get a No1 album I just know I’m going to win. I don’t care who’s doing what. I just know I’m going to win. I’m going to make sure I come first.” :pac:

Technically he's reasonably proficient with the looper, well-rehearsed. What is he doing with the looper that wouldn't sound better with a full band of top class musicians? This makes it unprofessional for me. Although clearly he knows his audience. If I saw some guy down the pub doing this I'd be well impressed for about 10 minutes, after that it gets boring. If I'd paid money to see this (without knowing what to expect) I'd feel cheated.

It's about when he was 5 years old traveling with his dad in his JCB. This sheeren fella seems to like copying other people's songs.
