That's his conundrum alright, how to keep up that whole 'I'm just a regular bloke' schtick while continuing his ferocious drive to be the king of all he surveys.
Music Ed Sheeran
- Thread starter Stanley Road
- Start date
You'd lose that bet.
I have nothing against him, I can see his talent, I just think it's bland. I couldn't give a feck if he's popular or not though, that doesn't drive my opinion.
Jesus, that's the lyrical equivalent of terrible observational 'comedy':.Rossi said:

FFS...
Simon Munnery summed it perfectly.
"Has anyone noticed something about anything ... Ever ?"
As for this dude, he's the Coldplay/David Gray of his age bracket.
Has anyone heard his new song about going to a bar, meeting a girl, and getting dragged back to her place for a shag? Say what you want about him but at least his lyrics have variety to them.
I know how much you guys love Ed so thought I'd tip you off about this...
sounds genuinely like one of the worst ideas ever and no doubt it will get made.

sounds genuinely like one of the worst ideas ever and no doubt it will get made.Was looking at getting tickets for a present but its between €81 and €91 for a ticket to him in Cork. I think the only time Ive ever spent more money on a ticket to anything was to meet WWE Hall of Famer Edge in Miami at WrestleMania a few years ago. For the same price I got to meet him, get an autograph and a picture with him as well as entry to the rest of the show. For Ed Sheeran the same price will get me standing in a pitch with god only knows how many people about 70/80 yards from the stage at least.
Tickets go on sale Saturday at 9am and there have been people queuing at the local Ticketmaster since Wednesday afternoon. Is this guy really that popular??

This doesn't fill me with confidence, i was hoping to buy a couple of tickets for Cardiff or London for my ex (don't ask) as an xmas present, but i was hoping to pay like £40 a ticket.Was looking at getting tickets for a present but its between €81 and €91 for a ticket to him in Cork.

If you were planning on buying from ticketmaster they have this rule in place for the Ed Sheeran concerts that the person that buys the ticket has to be the one to collect them with the same credit card used and photo id so pretty much prevents gifts unless you are going as well. (Ticketmaster put a statement up yesterday stating its at the request of Ed Sheeran and his party to prevent resales of the tickets).
I know this was posted a few months ago, but I agree.
He has the same problem Adele has in that while he is incredibly talented he, just like Adele, chooses to apply that talent in the most boring and uninspiring way possible.
I knew about this but i just assumed i could give my ex my cc to take with her and somehow get the tickets in her name?
You should add......"....and does so knowing that this is what the world wants which is why he is so incredibly successful."
He's young and might be at only the first stage of a long career that could see him use that talent in a more inspiring way (as far as you are concerned) in 5 or 10 years time.
"This ensures no one getting ripped off."Ticketmaster said:
Hahahahahaha! You're a glorified busker who charges ninety quid a ticket, mate! Wind your neck in.
No, because she will need the ID to match the credit card.
Only way around it I see is to buy tickets in cash at a ticketmaster outlet, but Im not even sure they do that anymore. Or if it will be even possible considering the demand.
Exactly, €91 euro and they say no one is getting ripped off. Laughable.
What is all this rapping shit all about? Caught some of his Glastonbury performance and thought he was joking at first.
I know, it's embarrassing isn't it? He's been doing that nonsense since his first album.
I heard Galway Girl for the first time on the car radio the other day. I don't normally listen to stations that play any sort of chart music but was avoiding The Archers on Radio 4.
feck me what an inept pile of paddyfeckingwhackery that nonsense is. It sounded like a Reeves & Mortimer sketch.
No wonder the country is going down the toilet if the public are buying this in droves. In fact who buys this? What's the demographic here and what can be done to erase them?

I genuinly dont understand how many of you can intensly loathe Ed Sheeran! I love his music personally, but the hate he is getting in this thread is amazing! Are you lot filled with like a more than average amount of hate in your body, and just have to funnel it towards anyone or anything in your every day? On a general note, I dont really understand how people are able to generate such hatered for artists or entertainers in general?
I don't hate him at all but on the same token i wouldn't rush to buy his album or anything.

It took me an hour and 25 minutes but i did manage to buy 2 tickets to see him at Wembley next year, i set the account up in my ex's name so i am hoping that she won't have any trouble getting in, everything is in her name except my credit card which i will just give to her to take.
He might release some good music at some point yes, it's a possibilty.
I don't think he's anywhere near as talented as Adele. Even if you hate her music you would be hard pressed to argue that Adele isn't a talented singer. Whereas Sheeran isn't a particularly talented singer (or rapper ). That leaves songwriting which, well.......
There's nothing undeniably talented about Sheeran at all.
She'll be fine mate. They always describe the security as being tougher than it ever actually is to deter tours. If her name's on the ticket she'll have zero problem.
But are you not going to tell us why you're buying two gig tickets for your ex??!
It's not really about talent is it? I have no trouble believing that he's talented. His music simply hurts my ears. Taste being subjective and all that.
You need to watch an hour of James Corden being "funny". Then you will understand how an "entertainer" can generate strong feelings of hate.

Big year for the pop hobbit. Billboard biggest selling song of the year, billboard number one artist of the year, billboard Christmas number 1. Biggest selling artist in the uk + Christmas number 1 & 2 in the charts.
He sucks.
Average as hell.
All his songs are so forgettable to me. It's just not my cup of tea I guess.
Some of the songs on the latest album are irritatingly catchy but I really don't get all the hype. Some of the lyrics to his songs are utter cringe like Galway Girl.
Why even call it Galway girl when that babe is anyway used.
I hate him all his songs sound the same and they are all bland.
I like Perfect.
I like him tbh.
Simple, catchy songs, kinda bland, but that is okay.

He does a lot of crap tbh but songs like Perfect and Thinking Out Loud are really well crafted songs.
They're clearly his best songs and I think he'd say the same if asked. I don't believe he's fooling himself thinking he's some musical genius and his songs are masterpieces. He seems like a pretty chill, well-grounded bloke that's doing the best he can, which, as it happens, is a bunch of simple and catchy pop songs. Luckily for him that's what a lot of people happen to enjoy. I don't think any of that is a reason to criticize him. I've never seen him claim he's more than he is and take himself too seriously.
I'm not much of a fan but I like to see him do well as being a short chubby ginger bloke he is an underdog in the shallow pop world.
