Craig King Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I have to say the guy is handy enough with a guitar and clever with the pedals and that, and he can sing lyrics very fast, but even so, I just don't get the super stardom. Please enlighten me. (I realise I am in a minority of probably one, which is why I ask) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarne Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 He nailed Sailor Twift and that basically cemented him as a star. Oh, and he actually seems a pretty decent person compared to stars such as the Kardashians or R Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bees Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'm not a fan myself but he looked like he was really enjoying himself at Glastonbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and he actually seems a pretty decent person compared to stars such as the Kardashians or R Kelly. I think he went through her backing singers too. Fair play to him. It just shows you what fame can do for you when you look like you should live under a bridge (as a certain poster here probably should). He seems like a nice fell and makes some decent music. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Down Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Didn't he occupy the top five in the charts just recently? Obviously doing something right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarne Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 9 of the top 10 which is just bizarre http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/39231296/ed-sheeran-has-nine-of-top-10-but-thinks-its-weird And hey boy, I wonder who you could be talking about Notwell!

llap Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 All he does is whinge into a microphone. He doesn't actually sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojomonkey Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 He's not my cup of tea but I don't think I'm in his target demographic. I suspect that those posting on this thread aren't in that demographic either. I don't understand whinging about music, if you don't like something you aren't forced to listen to it.

I don't particularly like jazz or brass bands or punk rock, but I see where the attraction is, and so be it. I also see where Ed Sheeran is coming from, and very good it is too. Like grown up teenage angst for young and not so young grown ups. I'm happy enough with that, but it's the super stardom - headlining Glastonbury and 9 hits in the top 10 etc. I'm not knocking the guy for a minute. All the songs sound the same to me too. But I said that about death metal and countless other genres, including that 1990s Manchester phase. But death metal and all the rest were never this big. And this is just one guy. Where does it all end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
