      Oh, please. He’s a marketer that mimics. It’s a rinse repeat exploit that’s paid well. He’s like a super efficient Simon Cowell because he doesn’t have to find people with a voice, just keep a close on upcoming artists, blatantly copy them, flog sales. And idiot fans marvel at his broad range in genre and sound like it comes from within lol

      Edit: Oh, yeah, and then there’s all the copyright issues he’s constantly in when flying too close to the sun.

        I mean, okay then, I’d say he’s a talented musician who performs good music in an engaging style. Whereas Cordon has been regularly said to be an arse.

        Like I say, suggesting that car would be an awful place to be feels harsh on Ed.

    I will never understand how he passed the audition stage for a late night show.

    I have never seen such an intense combination of being unfunny and awkward at the same time on television before. The interactions he has with the music guy are just incredibly lacking in chemistry, and his obnoxious, forced laugh is even worse than Jimmy Fallon’s.

    Is it something about the British accent that fooled the network execs?

      I liked him in Doctor Who! I didn’t know who either of them were when I saw their respective episodes, which I think helped. Ed Sheeran’s scene was still weird though
