The absolutely BOILING hate for Sheeran in here though. Sure, he makes bland music but then again half the people stanned in here do. I wonder if Sheeran's hate in this comm is related to the fact that not only is he the proud owner of male genitalia but that he also sports unconventional looks?

Surely ya'll wouldn't be so superficial, right?

He is only successful because he is male and ugly, therefore his success is "amazing" or something.

Like a male Susan Boyle.

Ed She-ran's derivative music would not be a tenth as successful if he were anything other than a straight white cis male. Let's be honest with ourselves.

No, his obnoxious tendency to make sappy trend-chasing music, with lowest common denominator lyrics, while playing some sort of relatable friendzoned character that can play the guitar and has become successful against all odds, but who, in reality, actually comes across as a calculating douche is why I dislike him.

Truly the male Taylor Swift without the looks.

I was in this cab alone listening to ”Higher" by Rihanna because Anti had just come out,” she told Lowe. "And I had a little cry and I was just like ‘it's always going to be this way, at some point with everyone it's going to be this way.' But the song kind of ended up turning into a bit of a protective talismans for me. I was like, you know what, I'm always gonna have myself so I have to really nurture this relationship and feel good about hanging out with myself and loving myself.

Well they have a point. His music is just trash and no better than Maroon 5 at this point.

Also, I been listening to lots of Lana lately. Kinda ready for her new album already.

I remember the anti Rita Oral stan wars that happened here a couple of years ago and I kept bragging about the fact that she was unable to release music and that fact that to this day it still holds true is quite interesting.

[Verse 2]
My baby lives in shades of cool
Cool heart and hands and aptitude
He lives for love, for women too
I'm one of many on his blue
And when he calls, he calls for me, and not for you
He prays for love, he prays for peace, and maybe someone new

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't help him, can't make him better
And I can't do nothing about his strange weather

[Chorus]
Cause you are unfixable
I can't break through your world
Cause you live in shades of cool
Your heart is unbreakable

[Bridge]
Your hot, hot weather in the summer
Hot, hot, neglectful lover
Hot, hot weather in the summer
Hot, neglectful lover
You’re crumbling, sadly
You're sadly crumbling

when the guitar in the bridge kicks in and Lana begins wailing and it just sounds so fucking incredible i...

"Love On The Brain" is #5 on the charts brehs.

Talent always wins. Especially the kind that doesn't need to force a song on people to make it chart.

If only Rhat would make a video. I guess she's busy crafting shoes now.

You could have just stopped here. I don't like bland music, and he makes bland music. I agree that the ugly jokes around here are stupid, but can you at least agree that no woman could get away with looking as disheveled as Ed while also peddling an inflated ego while also pumping out bland ass music, and have anywhere near the same success? That gender line is all I see when his songs are sitting at the top of the charts.

I don't necessarily like the noisy guitar bridge, but it make the angelic soft part that follows afterwards all the more rewarding. Just beautiful.

I can't think of an artist delivering consistent quality quite like Lana.

Speaking of Lana, whatever happened to this snippet of another version of "Cruel World" she used to play live?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYX14IwSPZg

The album version is one of her greatest songs, but I'm still curious about this one and how different it is. Did it ever leak in full? In the version that ended up on Ultraviolence, she doesn't mention the title and the lyrics don't really match thematically either, which is unusual for her, so it almost seems like she just slapped the title on a completely different track at the last minute.

Agreed. The Lord is a much better songwriter though.

I've honestly always been so salty about this. That intro sounds so amazing. As to why she didnt include it in the album, my guess is that that version was going to transition into the album version but maybe she didnt feel they transitioned well or maybe she thought the album version was already too long.

Just came across this live version of Love on the Brain.

Girl is growing as an artist. Nowadays more often than not I'm impressed by her live performances. I'm still under the impression that she can't sing for shit.

I think the frantic and erratic nature of the singing is helping her on this particular song, chosing a bit on the fly how to sing in order to hit the notes right, but still. She's barely, if ever, off-key.


Edit: okay, all of the songs she performed on that Global Citizen concert slay. Wow.
