    The problem with him is he's a generic pop producing machine which he's obviously been made to be by his label.

    He is uber talented though, headlining Glastonbury with a weans guitar and a loop pedal is impressive.

    I've watched his set, but I don't get it.

    Some of the looping appears impressive, but I'm not convinced much of it wasn't prerecorded.

    I thought when it was announced he didn't have enough to be a headliner. Having watched it he just doesn't have the impact.

    Whether you like him or not is personal choice but not a single bit of his live show is pre-recorded.

    Guy just put on a great live set that had the crowd eating out of his hands. He done what Eavis hired him for. More than impressed me and I'm not a big fan.

    Snap, got me buzzing for the 9th.

    They're a weird band for me, heavier than I normally like but I've actually went to a few of their own shows and loved it.

    It's like catchy heavy rock music which is unusual.

    I'm not convinced about that.

    It's actually a common thing.

    Having seen it in the flesh from a few feet away on 2 occasions if it's pre-recorded he's an even bigger genius than if it weren't.

    I know a few guys who went off them after Puzzle, because they started to get more of a mainstream sound, but I actually really like the way they've evolved their sound. You won't get many rock songs as anthemic and catchy as 'The Captain'.

    White middle class ginger man rapping, pandering to the masses aiming his music directly at teenage schoolgirls. Don't get the hate either :97:

    I'll never forgive the cvunt for this:

    Don't understand the love Ed Sheeran gets.
    Every song is basically the same structure and always mentions drinking.

    All you * were moaning about Beiber a couple years ago :56:

    Like kids who go about forums saying "Xbox sucks PS4 rulez".

    Get a grip and like what you like. Ed Sheeran existing doesnt mean Pink Floyd dont.
    You'd think he goes about * you people's mums :56:

    If you think that's what I was going on about, then you didn't understand. I was more going on about him trying too hard to be relevant and edgy and I don't think he achieves it. Are we not allowed to debate this and make a point?

    He may not be relevant to YOU but he is to millions of other people.
    And define 'edgy'. What is that?
    I personally think for example Def Leppard are an abomination. They still sold hundreds of millions of records.
    People love them, I don't. I don't go following them about looking for something to beat them with.
    Smacks of jealousy.

    None of you can possibly know my pain watching Sheeran last night .............. My wife and son singing and dancing along to every song, whilst my elderly Mum complained about the noise and continually asked when we could turn over to watch re-runs of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" on the Challenge channel?
