I want to like him...I thought his Noel Gallagher t-shirt at Glastonbury was genius. But 'Hold Me While You Wait', dear me...it's like nails down a blackboard.

Anyone else agree?

I really like him but dont like most of his songs.
Same with Ed Sheeran, seems like a great guy, I wish I liked his music!
They are very popular tho, so I'm obviously missing something!

CassandrasCastle · 10/01/2020 14:19

I genuinely didn't know until googling it just now that the final lyric in the chorus is 'Won't you stay a while?' I just hear a kind of shapeless scream

The one that is about the aftermath of his relative's suicide is too sad for me to listen to Sad
He's only in his early 20s isn't he? I think he will have an interesting career.

YABVVU.

I love him! I love his self deprecating sense of humour which is sadly missing in the majority of pop singers. I love lots of things (including his music). What I love most though is that he is giving a message to young people that you can be successful while being funny, friendly and without a six pack or a mansion. You can be known more for your talent than your image. You can be nice to your mum, take the piss out of yourself and do promotions in Greggs. Did I mention I love him?! I would much rather my DC look up to him than some YouTuber somewhere.

My local radio play his songs constantly on repeat so I’m sick of them.

ChilliandLemon · 10/01/2020 14:46

Saying that I find him funny, I just don’t like his music.

1wokeuplikethis · 10/01/2020 14:48

I can’t stand his miserable bastard songs

bluenoir · 10/01/2020 14:52

I keep waiting for the song to go somewhere, it just never really reaches a crescendo.

autumndreaming · 10/01/2020 14:55

@GoFiguire that was Peter Capaldi. They are distantly related, I think.

ukgift2016 · 10/01/2020 15:00

I don't like him, his whole "i am ugly and so funny" act is cringe.

Patroclus · 10/01/2020 15:03

Lots of whining white boys with dull names on the radio atm.

ThatLibraryMiss · 10/01/2020 15:05

I do wonder how far a woman would have got with those sort of songs and that self-deprecating humour without being really gorgeous.

sassafras123 · 10/01/2020 15:09

Grossly over-played whiney depressing shite. He has not got a fantastic voice no matter what the D.Js say.

Dustarr73 · 10/01/2020 15:14

Hes even worse than Ed Sheeran and thats saying something.

Hes very bland,and whiny.I dont get the appeal of him.At all.

backaftera2yearbreak · 10/01/2020 15:16

He’s the male version of Adele

Yarboosucks · 10/01/2020 15:33

My DS is friends with him - he is a top bloke apparently. DS does not like his music!

1forAll74 · 10/01/2020 15:38

I have only seen and heard this Lewis bloke once, think it was on a tv ad for his music.. such awful music and singing, akin to that Sheeran guy also; I call all these men, the dreary droning tuneless brigade.

paranoidmum2 · 10/01/2020 16:11

He sounds more fat-tongued than Jamie Oliver. YANBU.

paranoidmum2 · 10/01/2020 16:12

I must admit that I have no idea what he looks like.

PositiveVibez · 10/01/2020 16:15

He's a funny guy, but cannot fucking bear his music. Same whiny whingy warbling dirge as Adele.

*He was in Doctor Who£

Peter Capaldi is his uncle and was in his first video for that god awful song.

misspiggy19 · 10/01/2020 16:19

He’s the male version of Adele and I don’t like her songs either.

skippy67 · 10/01/2020 16:27

I hate his music. I injured myself recently diving to change the radio station after hearing the into to one of his wailings.

midwest · 10/01/2020 17:16

I don't like the singing style of him, Ed Sheeran or Adele. However obviously plenty of other people do.

CallofDoodee · 10/01/2020 17:20

YANBU - when he first came on the scene with 'Someone you loved' I thought he was great and very funny 'in real life'.

But Christ on a bike, there is only so much of his songs one can take on the radio and already the self deprecating 'I'm an ugly chubby bastard but look how hilarious I am' schtick is wearing very, very thin.
