He sang it the other week at the Manchester gig and must have sang about three lines. Crowd did the rest.
Shit! It wasn't on John Craven's Newsround so I had no idea.
The Ghost's of Biggie and Big L asked him for lessons.
He also crushed it at the Manchester benefit concert to be fair to him, even with what seemed like a half lost voice.
very unfair , did you see him , he could not sing because he was so upset
I'm praising the song. As far as pop hits go it's brilliant.
He's a car crash of a story. But he destroys large crowds like few others.
The posturing annoys me, but he can command 100000 people remember the night forever. Can't deny it.
He did the same at that NYE thing where he washed his hands immediately after touching a member of the public.
He also regularly looks coked off his tits during performances.
She's 10, adores Pink Floyd and pretty much 90% of the music I've enforced on her from a young age ( including Radiohead ). She isn't limited to any genre. She also likes modern Pop music. She's the one that got me into Clean Bandit. I'd take her open minded optimism and willingness to develop her own opinions over a twat from Glasgow who gets butthurt over disagreeing posts in a forum.
I dont care if I am in the minority here, I think Ed has smashed this tonight.
OK so he did not have the full band behind him , like the Foo's last night or Nile Rodgers earlier, but he more than held his own.
The crowd loved him , sang and danced with him for the whole set

Amazing how one guy with a guitar can do what he's done tonight. He's been brilliant. Compare this to Kanye's performance that time. Well done Ed.
Holy shit you set the bar low if that constitutes brilliant.
Objectively, I think he will have just reinforced people's opinions of him. People who think this kind of thing is acceptable will have enjoyed it. People who think he's everything that's wrong with music will still feel that way.
Frank Turner has a big cult following though.
It is one of the traditions of Glastonbury that we spend Sunday night accusing each other of being either pretentious or plebs.
You've got me there Gambit. I'll slink off to live in my pessimistic and close minded twat hole to nurse my hurt butt whilst sobbing over the devastating epiphany that I'm pretentious and from Glasgow because I don't like Ed. I only hope you can forgive me some day Gambit, if not for my terrible snobbery, at least for having the temerity to be from Glasgow. I understand that the non existent attack on your daughter in a light hearted internet forum conversation drove you to having no option other than to call me a twat, but that doesn't make it less true that I am indeed a twat. And from Glasgow too, the worst kind of twat.
That was alright. Sheeran's got some decent tunes and lots of people enjoy listening to them. Music's purpose, essentially. No pretend genius that we need to identify and debate.
Give over.
I just want to point out that this is what just came out of his mouth:
I think I'll leave it there.
I think I'll leave it there.
Bbk time! So glad Glastonbury is diversifying.
You're right I was wrong calling you a twat. I should have used miserable cnut instead.
You're ignoring that You Need Me, etc. contains the lyric "they said I'm up and coming like I'm fecking in an elevator"
I remember they had the lyrics on an autocue that night too, even in interviews he looks like he's done a few lines before he goes on.'Grimmy'... I don't have words to sum him up.
I remember watching X Factor once (not my choice, honest) and he was the guest performer, and he spent the entire performance stood right on the edge of the stage, with his eyes like he was trying to launch his eyeballs into the back row, constantly shouting about how great it was to be there. Marvellous stuff.
The whole thing is one big embarrassment.Wtf that's one of my mates, bizarre
Hah! Small world!
I'm very cheerful I'll have you know! Why does not liking Ed upset you so much? If I said I liked him, would I be happy? Or would I just like Ed and that wouldn't give you any other information about me, including my mental outlook, other than my thoughts on wee Ed's teenage diary readings accompanied by acoustic guitar?
I actually had a go at Radiohead in my first post in this thread so in your face.
Thought he was rubbish personally. That sort of one dimensional music cant carry in a massive field. He'd be better suited to 2000 seater bingo halls.
Damn I love Justice. Saw Daft Punk and Justice live. Justice edged it.
Give over what? Fair play if you like a guy playing an acoustic guitar singing generic lowest common denominator pop music.
Not really my qualifier for 'brilliant' though.
Fantastic, doesn't surprise me that he said that. Doesn't look like he's got much going on between the eyes, every time one of the artists is being interviewed he always looks star struck which is a bit strange.Lying to yourself now.
If people truly think that was lowest common denominator then they have been very spoiled.
Of course it was a lie. How could I be optimistic and not like Ed? It's impossible.
The Galway Girl song is the epitome of LCD tat.
