Why Is Ed Sheeran Successful?

[vernonk]

Ugly mug, scruffy dresser, charisma bypass, tuneless songs....what's so good about him? I just don't get it

[ummmm]

Because everything you've said is wrong.

[Barsel]

Me neither vernonk, but some folks seem to like him!

[Mamyalynne]

I like a lot of his songs and he's good in interviews - guess we all see different things.

[-Talbot-]

Is this an anti-ginger rant?

[Zacs-Master]

Always love the threads on AnswerBank criticising artists who are probably 50 years younger than the mean demographic age on here.

[Baldric]

Gather you're not a fan, if you don't like like it, don't watch it, simples.

[Barsel]

Absolutely Mamya. I've never liked David Bowie either and look how popular he became.

[Quoi]

Ha Ha - I accept he is probably a nice bloke and all that but he has the wrong face for me - cant stand that dopey look.

[vernonk]

If he was busking in my local town, I'd just keep walking on by

[Mamyalynne]

He'd be relieved.

[Zacs-Master]

Ha! ^^^^

[-Talbot-]

More of a Stranglers fan then, Vernonk?

[vernonk]

I'm not anti ginger. I love Mick Hucknall's music. Now he is talented

[gness]

Mmmmm....wish he'd busk in my town......xxxxx

[-Talbot-]

TBH most of ED's stuff sounds the same to me.

[gness]

Whooo.....got in there quickly, Vernonk.....was just about to put the Ginger's curse on you..... ;-)

[vernonk]

Well, there are clearly Ed fans here, but none has yet explained what's so good about him.....

[Zacs-Master]

No one has to.

[Patsy33]

He's done some great songs, admittedly I don't like all of them. What I think comes through though, is his great passion in what he's does, bless him.

[mazie]

I Love him. How many of his songs have you listened to vernonk? He's a great chap with non of "The I'm famous look at me" about him
