Anyone else a fan of his, I've had "The A Team" on my ipod for a week or so but only just realised his other stuff is really good.

Had a couple of his songs on repeat for a couple of hours now.

Met Ed last week, such a nice guy. Only 20 years old and so much maturity in his music. He played Camden Barfly recently and had to play his set 4 times over because there was so many people there!

I'll post a link to the interview soon!

He does seem to be getting really popular recently.

Im getting tickets to his O2 gig in Glasgow for October, its standing so hopefully no one else finds out about him because i get crushed in standing

flippin' eck .. I was randomly channel hopping earlier on and caught the back end of this.

had no idea who it was but i loved it. based on the video I, i guess not unsurprisingly, thought it was a british rapper.

I was gobsmacked to find out it was bloody Ed Sheeran !

It's fantastic !

I love him, he has quite a few great EPs before The A Team! His debut album (called +, or Plus if you want to Google for info ) is out on 9 September!

Completely agree, first saw him on Jools Holland a couple of months ago, really looking forward to his album, ridiculously talented and so bloody young

I do not get the hype. What is so special about him? He plays the guitar so does James morisson. His voice is OK. He is not the best vocalist. He is a good rapper but so is PLAN B and Devlin. What makes him so different from other male artists like Jame Morrisons, Paolo Nutini, jason Mraz,
John Mayer. His songs are not that great. They will not be known as classics. At least James Blunt has good memorable songs. He is a nice guy, humble and talented but what is so special about him?

Ed has the same USP that Plan B had. Rap is hugely popular atm and the thing that made Ed and Plan B so hyped up is because they infused rap with other genres. I'm not talking about standard electropop pap with a verse from a rent-a-rapper thrown in. You never really expected a soul singer in a suit and tie to suddenly start rapping. The same way no one's really expecting this young ginger singer-songwriter type to start rapping. The A Team could have been anyone's hit but people will take proper notice when You Need Me is released.
