This about sums it up http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/22960-divide/
I see Ed is the new one to hate, has he overtaken Chris Martin now then.
does he need to , he has the crowd going , singing along with him.
The music world needs an antithesis to depressed Oxford graduates.

Bit tongue in cheek but his studio albums have bands playing on them. That stage and crowd is massive so I think you need a fuller sound. But the crowd are loving a sing-a-long with Ed so who am I to argue.
Appears so. He is successful, writes his own stuff. He's the male equivalant of Adele.
Having been to Glastonbury and loved it, going to NOS last year was a revalation. It is half the size and only takes you 5/10 mins to get to the different stages, beer is cheaper, its 30 mins back in Lisbon - so you get a bed, and you know whose playing beforehand.
It is just about the music at NOS, but has such a great vibe. Hence i'm going to NOS this year again and not glastonbury. You can also spend the daytime in Lisbon, rather than i'm a field trying to find your spiritual self.
He's somehow managed to combine the worst elements of folk, hip hop and bland indiepop into one small crowd-pleasing package. Quite an achievement.
Well, this is bollocks.
It must be exhausting as you cannot pass any of the guitar playing to anyone else or the singing. It is all down to him.
Think it is just us 2 that like him on here.
Yeah my thoughts too, although I've never been to Glastonbury so I don't have the comparison.
Is he seriously gonna play acoustic all night 
This is an abomination.
This is an abomination.
What's the craic with his guitar? It's 3/4 sized. Never noticed that before. Wah gwan?
On a side note, never heard the Galway Girl song before. Jesus fecking Christ it's bad.
I do too. Easier not to argue with the miserable vets.
I find him incredibly, incredibly meh but he's undoubtedly a decent performer.
The studio version is worse as it has Irish fiddles joining in at the chorus, sounds really naff.
I'm with you fella.
Very easy to pshaw' his everyman simple style but he's busking seriously catchy tunes to Glasto's biggest crowd entirely off his own bat.
There's a lot of music I'd rather hear, but I bet his gig would be brilliant.
Feck me, bunch of miserable tossers. He'd doing a great job.
That's what he does. It's all part of his calculated cynical plan to appeal to different audiences. A bit of rapping. A cute little guitar. A bullshit Irish jig. A little ginger hobbit head. $$$

Of course he is. What else did you expect?
Is he seriously gonna play acoustic all night
This is an abomination.
Yeah. Can't believe he's not paying a feck tonne of other people to play for him, using every instrument and effect under the sun and a backing track.
It's just not cricket.
Lucky you, I've found it hard to avoid.
Yeah I'm no fan, but the whole acoustic thing is pretty much his entire gimmick.
This forum is depressing. Why is everyone hating on a Lad with his acoustic guitar and pedal and who's not using shitty auto tune or doesn't have the protection of a band behind him. I'm not even a fan of his music but you have to give major props to the lad and if you can't then your either miserable or plain jealous.
Aye, feels like there's about a one in three chance of that being on the radio at any given point.
Says the man who thinks Radiohead only have two good albums. Are you only a "miserable tosser" if you criticise Ed Sheeran?
Glastonbury crowd has changed massively though. middle class teenage girls who lap up Ed Sheer-an types taking over. Won't be long befor the 2/3 main acts are mainstream commercial pop singers.
The internet, mate.
Eminem's really let himself go.
He could be RTJ's new member with his rapping.
It sounds like something David Brent would pitch to the Irish Tourist Board.
I don't like it when he raps though.
Ha, same. I couldn't tell you the last time I drove to work without hearing it at least once.
Chill out guys it's not our fault Sheeran is shit.
Is he not dying up there?!? This is awful.
