Whats he doing on BGT? got the potential to be the next bob Dylan but he concentrates singing superficial commercial sh*te with Taylor Swift.

Next Bob Dylan? HAHAHAHAHA. He's just the same as all the others. Plus he's rooting for Jordan o Keefe. That just about says it all. He's bland. Sickeningly, mind numbingly bland.

He's got a nice voice and some sort of idea of social issues and he concentrates on superficial rubbish. Thumbs down.

Those two should save that stuff for their front rooms.

Yes, his duet with Taylor seems to indicate that he's only interested in gaining fame in the US now at whatever cost. He does seem to have a inclination for certain social issues like Small Bump and A Team but the majority of his stuff is just fluff.

Ed Sheeran is properly talented....and even though she's not my kinda thing, so is Taylor Swift....whether you like it or not.

The next Dylan, are you serious?
Have you ever heard Highway 61 Revisited or Blonde On Blonde FFS.

He was always a sell out. Lets be honest, anyone who falls for his "scruffy" appearance and casual look is naive. He loves the moolah as much as anyone and ive seen him whoring himself all over TV the last year and a half.

He sold one of his songs to One Direction. He was a sell-out then. 'The A Team' and his other hits were released for commercial purposes. He's a mainstream artist. You can't really be mainstream and not be expected to go on something to promote you're work.

Even Thom Yorke does TV gigs to promote his work. A lot of musicians against the whole 'corporate world' has done something 'sell-out'.

Ozzy Osbourne has done World of Warcraft adverts, Johnny Rotten has done a countrylife butter advert, Johnny Cash has done Taco Bell and Iggy Pop did that insurance advert that doesn't even insure 'celebrities'.

I agree, the blandest thing ever to get famous.

No. She's more talented. She plays the guitar better. She has a better voice. She is not as commercial as Ed Sheeran. She is musically better.

She sells more records because she appeals to a music market like country that is huge.

Ed is dreadful.

His second album will flop and he'll end up doing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory panto.

Why did he sell the best song he's ever written to One Direction , incidentally .
