Ed Sheeran is shit

Ed Sheeran is shit.

Do not believe the crowd. My Facebook feed is swamped with folk saying stuff like “I don’t want to say Ed Sheeran is shit because it isn’t up to me to tell others how to listen”. Damn straight. It AIN’T up to you to tell others what to like. You so scared of being misconstrued that you can’t even figure out what you like yourself, though? You so scared of being viewed as old or past-it or not down with the teen kids or (shudder, spit) a hipster that you can’t state your own opinions loud and clear, though? ED SHEERAN IS SHIT. He’s a beardy ginge comfort zone for people with low life experience and few expectations, a gorged smug regular money-making machine whose primary concern is not LURVE or FLOWAHS or… wait, why am I even discussing corporate business with you? Ed Sheeran is shit. You don’t need to be beautiful to say this, you don’t need to be lonely. You don’t need to be popular, you don’t need to be a geek. Ed Sheeran is shit. You don’t even need to listen to Ed Sheeran or his new album or the legion of fans to realise this, just read the apologetic commentary from those too afraid to state the fact, the apoplectic commentary from those who think they’re Making A Statement by coming out against him (yes, Campaign for a Return to Dad Rock, I’m looking at you), the fawning uncontrollable commentary from those whose idea of a varied and worldly musical taste means including a Radiohead album on their playlist of Coldplay, Damien Rice, Sam Smith, Adele and (shudder) Ed Sheeran. Look at the way he looks. Not so much a performance as a baby-adult entitlement. Ed Sheeran is shit. How many times do we need to say this before you start listening? Hey, why not start listening? Just cos you’ve only heard a handful of songs does not mean that no alternatives exist in the world. Ed Sheeran is shit. Do not be scared of the crowd. Has it not occurred to you that the crowd can be wrong sometimes? Ed Sheeran is shit. The very idea of listening to his music drives me to extremes of fury that I thought only Trump and Farage could instill in me these days. Ed Sheeran is shit. Scream it from the rooftops and the balustrades. He has no grace, no style, no panache, no star quality. Ed Sheeran is shit. He makes Mumford & Sons sound like a thriving farmer’s market. He makes Coldplay sound like Throbbing Gristle. He puts One Direction into perspective. He is the grey. He is the grey. He is the grey in the middle of grey. His emotion is not. Ed Sheeran is shit. Cancerous shit that spreads and grows and makes it so that the abnormal becomes the normal. Ed Sheeran is shit. He is one more marketing device to sell clothes and beer and department stores, and provide an outlet for… nothing. Shit. Less than nothing. Shit. Lifestyle accoutrement. Shit. An approximation of music that does not even attempt to capture the spark that can make music so special, so magical, so special. The boy next door who should have stayed inside. Cultural appropriation so half-assed you don’t even realise what’s going on (but it is, but it is).

I eat at MacDonalds, very occasionally. I drink coffee at Starbucks. Sometimes. I buy my groceries at Asda. Ed Sheeran is shit. And that shit is everywhere.

      In the midday sun
      They beat on their drums
      When Poppa Joe comes to town
      With his coconut-rum
      They can all have fun
      They can drink it
      ‘Till the sun goes down
      Poppa Joe just smiles politely
      With the money he takes he might be
      Very rich one day as he hears them say

      Poppa rumbo rumbo
      Hey Poppa Joe coconut
      Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
      Poppa rumbo rumbo
      Hey Poppa Joe coconut
      Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
      Poppa rumbo rumbo
      Hey Poppa Joe coconut
      Hey Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
      Hey Pop, Poppa, Poppa Joe

      Ya never see a sad face
      In the market place
      When Poppa Joe comes around
      For his coconut taste
      You can see them race
      Through the streets
      You can hear the sound
      All the ladies laughing gaily
      Poppa Joe’s still thinking maybe
      He’ll always hear the people say

      Poppa rumbo rumbo
      Hey Poppa Joe coconut
      Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
      Poppa rumbo rumbo
      Hey Poppa Joe coconut

      Hey Poppa Joe, hey Poppa Joe
      Hey Pop, Poppa, Poppa Joe

    Not only is he shit, but his words sound like he went into mothercare and bought a book called “My First Lyrics”. Add the blatant plagiarism which is rife on every song and he turns from being just shit, to a thieving shit. A shitty thieving, totally lacking in artistry thieving shit cunt shit.

    Quite funny. So speaks the NME school of music critiquing. On a Monday, the artist is great. By a Friday, they’re shit. The obvious ingredients of being shit include nonentities attacking you as a Musician and an individual, even for having a hair colour that doesn’t suit, for producing music that people actually like and buy, and worst of all, getting rich courtesy of their talent. Yup, Ed Sheeran is shit all the way to the bank and all of the way to the stadiums he keeps filling

    • Charlie Chuckles says:

      Hitler could fill a venue, didn’t make him any less diabolical.

    • Anonymous says:

      Popularity is no indicator of talent or skill. We live in an age where the charts are determined by pop writers who understand the psychology of music and the unavoidable fact that if you continue to hear a shitty song eventually you’ll convince yourself it must be good.
      Lots of shit musicians fill stadiums. It is possible that someone is shit and also popular, e.g. the president of the United States.

    • Anonymous says:

      So who defines who is and is not an entity? And why does making bank make you good? Ginger commentary is shitty, but so is Sheeran’s lack of any talent and constant presence on my radio while better artists are relegated to obscurity.

    I think if Everett had just spent a bit more time actually listening to Ed Sheeran’s music, rather than just launching into criticising the guy for not being cool, relevant etc, he would have realised that Ed Sheeran is in fact quite exceptionally fucking shit.

  14. lol it’s not just me that thinks it then.. any time im unfortunate enough to hear his whiney shit voice on the radio it’s a race to change the station asap. 17 songs in the top 50 atm as well? Well at least there’s some comfort that we get them all out of the way now.. when are people going to cop on to this talentless gimp though?

    Yes, he is the fucking worst of the worst. The gayest shit. Also, why in the name of all is holy did they have to stick him on GOT? Not only was it completely unnecessary, it was cheesy, slowed down the pace of an otherwise great episode and just fucks with the series in general. It’s now tainted. Fuck this pansy.

    • Anonymous says:

      Dude i know…that scene felt so awkward… terrible scriptwriting…actually most of that episode was shit, i had to laugh out loud at times the writing was so bad. I feel like people want to believe the entertainment stuff thats coming out nowadays is good (music, movies, shows, etc..), but deep within their subconscious they know its garbage, theyre just afraid to admit it

      • John says:

        People dont want to think. It frightens them to hell. So are happy to just watch the billions of crap movies out there like Transformers, superman, Spiderman, and so on .not to mention the crap on Netflix that go on and on with seasons and series . This is what that keeps people in line and very stupid . Do your mundain tasks called work and never question your goverment and Leaders i mean dictators.. or any thing else come to mention it!
        Yeah I feel safe knowing there are nuclear bombs around.. ignorance IS BLISS. But I can’t do that, like some of you by the sound of it..

    I’ve just endured his ironically named ‘Perfect’ song on the equally bad heart fm. Absolute shite.

  27. Anonymous says:

    You know an artist when you hear their songs – for example, you just know that a Bowie song is a Bowie song when you hear it for the first time.

    However, music which has no soul and is unoriginal like Sheeran’s
    sounds like covers of other artist’s songs.

    Evidence for this is in the fact that at least three of his songs are copies (Photograph, that one that is basically “lets get it on” by Gaye, and the clone of All Saints no scrubs).

    He had to pay some millions of pounds for plagiarism already, so quickly tried to avoid this with the All Saints copy “in love with the shape of you” by changing the writing credits of the song to acknowledge All Saints work.

    = FRAUD = POOOOOOPOOOO MUSIC = PERFECT FOR THE ZOMBIES

    ”You WILLl like Ed sheeran. You WILL like Ed Sheeran. YOU WILL LIKE ED SHEERAN!!!! This is THE ONLY MUSIC available. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL BUY.” Sad isn;t it? Bono is a cunt. Bowie was overrated. Music for the masses………….. sad non free thinking twats. Look around you. There’s so much music to enjoy without giving in to what you’re told to listen to…………

    I am heartened to read others views that e sheeran cannot sing, and is a thief of musicians songs. Why was the piece of excrement given an MBE?

  33. […] Daphne and Celeste Save The WorldThere’s a sneaky (and admittedly tenuous) connection to First Aid Kit’s ‘Fireworks’ slipped sweetly into one of the standout tracks on ‘Daphne and Celeste Save The World’ and I’m not fully convinced it is accidental. “Silverlake is shimmerin’ and summer is a-comin’ in” sing the women who once so stoically confronted cans of piss on a Reading stage and as the tale unfolds you can’t help but wonder if there’s a mild dig at the Söderberg sisters and their ilk as they proceed to catalogue the depressing conformity of the “basic busker on the radio” even though actually you are also convinced that this is Daphne and Celeste’s equivalency of Everett’s never-Truer proclamation that ‘Ed Sheeran Is Shit’.
