    Ed Sheran is a red headed Chris De Burgh, in 20 years everyone will just pretend they never liked him, and his daughter will be Miss World.

    Had a feeling all the cringey wannabee music snobs would come out of the woodwork tonight to slate Ed Sheeran.

    Give it a rest guys, the guy is super talented and appeals to the masses. Deserves his headline slot and makes good music compared to the amount of dross nowadays in the charts.

    He appeals to the 30 and unders.

    So enough of your moaning and enjoy the show gramps

    It's the lack of an oomph to it, it's not suiting the size of the occassion. It sounds weak! It could be 5 o clock on another stage and the crowd would be singing, nothing special to it.

    That's just because you watched radiohead and or the Foo Fighters and were expecting more of the same.

    Take this on its own merits.

    Jaysus, that's a bit OTT. You're making him out to be the musical equivalent of the black and tans.

    Plenty of artists borrow trad melodies for songs, Springsteen's Segar Sessions has plenty of it for one example.

    It's hardly like his entire set is based on ripping off trad.

    Ha. You think that's Irish music because it has Galway in the lyrics?

    You are taking the p1ss as usual I presume.

    I for one would be bored to tears at this gig, maybe if you know all his songs and can sing along it'd be fun but I can't see what this would do for people who don't know his stuff.

    I didnt think there was a quota of band members needed to headline Glasto :rolleyes:

    Well if you are selling your songs with a full band on the radio and then come out and perform them on what amounts to a jumped up ukulele I think that's pretty bad form.

    Ed knows his target audience and said target audience seems to be having a great time. It's like me going to a cricket game and complaining it's crap. I love sport, I don't like cricket.
