Thread: Why is this Ed Sheeran chap popular?

  1. #1

    Why is this Ed Sheeran chap popular?

    he seems rather bland and sappy.

    and quite calculated he has all the markets wrapped up, songs for weddings, funerals, Irish Market.

    He’s credited with being a good songwriter but some Of the lyrics in his songs are pure ****e. It’s like he’s singing a diary entry.

    he's talented with the looper pedal he uses.

    why does he put an X on his guitar?

    He’s a Corbyn-loving cùnt and no mistake. Mind you, popular music does finally seem to have run out of new ideas, so perhaps we ought not to be surprised by the sheer blandness of what the yoot have to suffer these days.

    Mind you, the yoot are pretty bland and dull themselves, so maybe they’ve got the music they deserve.

    THey do indeed deserve it. They also deserve these horrific music festivals that are now glorified corporate marketing events.

    Sheehan is a bucket of ****. The vague nods to Van Morrison are embarrassing. I managed twenty minutes of his Glastonbury show before deciding I wasnt going to waste any more time watching an ugly busker.

    Bit harsh, P. Rock was always a glorified corporate marketing event, from Elvis to Eminem to this Ed Sheeran fellow of yours.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Yes, but the problem is that they got too good at commoditising it. The bits that got through because the corporate marketeers weren’t actually very good at their jobs were often, it turns out, the best bits.

    Rock was. Festivals were supposed to be the escape from that.

    It's all the same, ain't it. Unpopular stuff that everyone likes but no-one buys, is paid for by popular stuff that nobody likes but everyone buys. The former cannot even really exist without the latter, not least because even "cool" artists want to get paid too.
