Ed Sheehan is smart and understands his target audience. He sings songs to girls that they want to hear a guy sing to them. He connects with them in a genuine manner, no bullshit or ego.

I loved seeing him live and can’t wait til March!
I quite enjoyed his concert that I went to.

Says more about the lack of good musicians around today than anything, if he was around in earlier decades he'd still be playing at tube stations for change.
Plugger gets it, Sheeran is pure MOTR, he's Adele for women who haven't realised their lives are over yet.

I actually quite like that Justin Bieber song "Love Yourself" which was written by Sheeran. I'm yet to hear a song performed by Sheeran that I actually like though.

That new Eminem track is ok.

Ed Sheeran writes songs for Justin Bieber? Jeezus he's even worse than I thought.

Judging a woman's talents by their 'hotness. :$
No shame. Her songwriting is good, although thematically she's repetitive. I think it's her country roots that make her more enjoyable than other pop singers. I only gave her a proper listen after loving the Ryan Adams cover album though.
Style is way better than anything Sheeran or most modern pop stars for that matter have released.
This.
"shake it off, just shake it off"

absolutely captivating...those lyrics really move me.......
Literally the worst song I've heard by her. But Ed Sheeran is so mind numbingly boring that I'd need to Google any of his lyrics. He's boring and forgettable, but somehow everywhere. I can see why you like him, and it seems your girlfriend has a type.

I'm no fan of Ed Sheeran, but you'd have to have your head up your arse not to recognise his talent.

It's pretty tiresome to see male 25yo & over rock fans bagging the current pop stars. Better just to say their music isn't for you instead of embarrassing yourself by saying how talentless and crap they are.

To counter this, I heard Harry Styles Sign Of The Times for the first time yesterday, really surprised by how enjoyable it was.

I'm pretty open to pop when I hear it, Sheeran is boring.
