To be annoyed by George Ezra and his ilk?

What is it with these men having seriously delicious voices, and then not living up to it in the looks department ? :-( It's making all my crushes seem weird...

(Okay, that may be because they are...Raikkonen and Bottas are my two faves at the moment but I seriously love Ezra's and Kelly Jones' voices....)

Awww, there they are. I can see what you mean about hot twin and non-hot twin! The guy on the left looks worryingly like Bono.

George Ezra is a young lad man with the voice of a 60yr old jazz singer with a 40 a day fag habit Grinit is very odd,my 16yr old loves him Sam smith is just a male Adele I want to say cheer up love everytime I hear him

Mrsjayy · 19/01/2015 16:20

I have a thing for caleb from kings of leon (more my age) he is no oil painting but I so would Blush

BolshierAyraStark · 19/01/2015 16:23

I think George Ezra is lovely in a sweet kind of way & Buble is quite fit tbh

dustarr73 · 19/01/2015 16:28

Buble reminds me of Matt Dillon.I love Ed Sheeran i think he is a great talent and seems to be a really nice guy.Pity thers not more out there like him.

Stinkle · 19/01/2015 16:28

George Ezra is lovely, but so not what I expected when I first saw his picture. He looks nothing like he sounds.

I quite fancy Ed Sheeran

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 19/01/2015 16:32

Love George Ezra, he's only a little older than my own ds1 so I don't ever think 'He's a looker' but his voice.................

Seff · 19/01/2015 16:41

I don't mind George Ezra, but I do think Ed Sheeran is massively overrated though. He's talented, don't get me wrong, but no more than any other singer/songwriter.

AliceLidl · 19/01/2015 16:42

TheHoundsBitch yes it is him, perhaps not one of his best.

This is also him, looking a bit less Grapes of Wrath.

Buble is a smug shit

Ezra is cute in a normal average way.

Ed looks like an adorable little honey monster.

NobodyLivesHere · 19/01/2015 16:42

Kelly Jones and Caleb Followill are both beautiful.

Bambambini · 19/01/2015 16:44

Ok, so which one is the "hot" twin?

squoosh · 19/01/2015 16:46

The one on the right!

OnlyLovers · 19/01/2015 16:50

Ed Sheeran looks like the village idiot IMO.

Had to google George E [old gimmer] and am not impressed. Bit toothy and pouty, like Eddie Redmayne.

Michael Buble is one of the most unattractive men I can think of.

I fancy Kelly Jones even though he's a shortarse.

And I fancy the singer from The National purely for his beautiful singing voice. I don't care that in the looks department he doesn't float my boat; I can just lose my eyes. Wink Grin

I'd also do Mumford and Sons. All of them.

seaoflove · 19/01/2015 16:51

Correct Wink

squoosh · 19/01/2015 16:53

'I'd also do Mumford and Sons. All of them.'

NOOOOOOOOO!

ClaudetteWyms · 19/01/2015 16:58

I love the "Take me to church" song and was thought the singer (Hozier) would be a bit of an Ezra, but he's actually quite cute.

Can't tell which is the "hot" twin that photo above, sorry Confused

YANBU OP, it's disappointing if a lovely voice isn't accompanied by at least a bit of hotness. It doesn't have to be obvious good looks,, a bit of raw animal charisma is fine Wink

ClaudetteWyms · 19/01/2015 17:00

Thom Yorke is also a good case in point - gorgeous voice that can make me weep, dodgy in the looks department, but having seen him live - holy crap he has charisma.

Mrsjayy · 19/01/2015 17:02

Oh him from Elbow looks like an R E teacher but his voice is so soothing sigh

OnlyLovers · 19/01/2015 17:04

squoosh, yep. I'm not exactly proud of it, but I can't lie.

I'd forgotten about Thom Yorke. Scrawny weirdo but/and SOOOO hot.

Also Guy Garvey from Elbow. He confuses me; is he a favourite youthful uncle/big brother's nice friend, or is he Mr Hot Stuff? His singing and speaking voices are both very sexy but he is on the ... rumpled side.

Vida · 19/01/2015 17:06

Who you need is Paolo Nutini. More talented than Sam Smith, George Ezra and Ed Sheeran put together. And totally HOT how he's grown up a bit.

squoosh · 19/01/2015 17:07

How can you fancy Thom Yorke and then worry whether Guy Garvey is fanciable enough!

Guy Garvey looks like a teacher. He'd be a good laugh in the staff room but you wouldn't fancy him. Then one morning after a piss up down the pub you'd wake up naked in his bed and think 'oh, go on then'.

OnlyLovers · 19/01/2015 17:12

squoosh, Thom is just a straight-up weird crush.

Guy is nice and also a bit good-looking and a bit sexy, so it's less straightforward.

If you woke up in his bed naked after a piss-up it'd be a bit late to think 'oh, go on then', no? Grin

MerdeAlor · 19/01/2015 17:13

It's all about the way they move and dance IMO.

Matt Beringer from The National (singer on far right of the photo above) is gorgeous in an intellectual deep kind of way (until he falls off the stage drunk).

Thomas Yorke has this funky little pixie dance and is also lovely in an intellectual deep kind of way.

Anyone who dances on stage or in a video gets my vote.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 19/01/2015 17:14

I'd totally do Guy Garvey, his spoken voice is also hot, heard him on the radio with Simon Mayo and I wanted to rip his shirt off.
