Watching him on the Grammys and he is fab. Anyone who says he is boring etc is crazy. He's got a beautiful voice!

he's lovely. I've not watched the Grammys yet.

maddy68 · 11/02/2015 22:46

God I saw him live last year. Sooooo boring however I was incredibly pissed and in the mood to party

Ubik1 · 11/02/2015 22:48

He seems to sort of whine and wail. It's like he can't be bothered to open his mouth properly.

Gibbsbasement · 11/02/2015 22:55

I think he must be related to Bernard Bresslaw.

LynetteScavo · 11/02/2015 22:59

His voice is amazing!

But I find him the least sexy man ever.

DH says he wouldn't fancy me, either! Grin

Hes more likely to fancy your DH to be honest.

Never heard him sing live but I think he has a lovely voice.

FightOrFlight · 11/02/2015 23:23

Oooh, meant to add - if you want to hear a really nasal singer then you need to hear John Newman sing live. It's actually painful Sad

JollyFrog · 12/02/2015 07:35

I think Sam Smith is Boy Georges love child!

Love his voice (& loved culture club)

?Yes im old?

ScotsWhaHae · 12/02/2015 07:41

I must be crazy. He's whiney, strained sounding and so bloody boring. I though he was designed for teenage girls who like to hear an emooshinul dude.

He's a bit beige for my tastes.

HaveTeaWillSurvive · 12/02/2015 09:17

His voice gives me tingles, always gets the volume up in my car!

Ems1812 · 12/02/2015 09:21

I think he has an alright voice but can't bear any of his songs! They all sound so whiney & so depressing. If any of his songs come on the radio, I have to switch it off.

manchestermummy · 12/02/2015 10:10

I quite like his songs, but cannot abide his voice. Sorry. Shoot me now!

kerstina · 12/02/2015 12:57

Don't like him at all. James Blunt should have won his awards! Grin

MamaMary · 12/02/2015 12:58

I like his songs and his voice.

He's not whiney and depressing - that's James Blunt ;)

DishwasherDogs · 12/02/2015 12:59

I can't bear him. That's unfair, I don't know him.
I can't bear his whiny voice or his needy songs.

UnalignedAnt · 12/02/2015 13:05

He's so bland! Plus one of his songs was done for plagiarising Tom Petty, so I'll toss derivative in too.

molyholy · 12/02/2015 13:18

Yes - Stay with me and slowed down version of Won't back down by Tom Petty. So not only is he boring and whiney, you can also throw unoriginal into the mix

kerstina · 12/02/2015 13:19

Yes Bland is the word!!! Just don't get the adulation.

RiojaHaze · 12/02/2015 13:21

I think he's great! Love his album and he also comes across as really humble and modest in interviews. He's not out to be attractive or needing to take his top off to get fans, as a lot of young male stars (Justin Bieber!) do.

He admitted that he'd never heard the Tom Petty song but that it did sound like it so they have split all of the royalties. You can complain about that!

RiojaHaze · 12/02/2015 13:21

can't

Fairylea · 12/02/2015 13:23

He's okay.... for some reason his music doesn't really move me. But it's enjoyable enough. Sia is my cup of tea at the moment. I love the craziness.

RiojaHaze · 12/02/2015 13:41

Her voice is amazing. I could watch the video for Chandelier over again, it's so haunting.
