I'd even give Thicke a pass, and I spent a really weird amount of time A/B-ing those two tracks. A funky time, but weird.

Truth.

Oh, I agree. I still can't believe he lost.

And to be very familiar, I had to watch the uncensored Blurred Lines video many times, to familiarize myself with it. :D

Re: Ed Sheeran
 

Rick Beato states in that video that Thinking Out Loud is far closer to Let's Get It On than Blurred Lines is to Got To Give It Up.

Re: Ed Sheeran
 

Well, I just listened to the first 90 seconds of that song (rather than the brief sample clip) and I can say that if I'm deliberately thinking of the Marving Gaye song simultaneously, I can understand that there is a mild similarity. One that I wouldn't have intuited had this suit not been brought.

He won the lawsuit and now he can dance with his eyes closed

He will continue to put out the hits,

Re: Ed Sheeran
 

Ed's tour crew is apparently incompetent. They weren't able to set up the stage in Allegiant Stadium today, kept fans waiting outside the gate for almost an hour after doors were supposed to open, in 100 degree heat, many passing out. Then postponed the show until the end of October at the last minute, literally minutes before scheduled Showtime. What a disaster.

Re: Ed Sheeran
 

His concert at Santa Clara had more people than Swift and Beyonce because of how they configured the stage for more viewing angles and thus more ticket sales.

Re: Ed Sheeran
 

He played one night in Levi's, Taylor played two.

Re: Ed Sheeran
 

Ed will be performing live tonight on Amazon Prime after TNF.

Re: Ed Sheeran
 

but Sheerhan did not have the big screens that block or obstruct the view like Swift and Beyonce did or he would not have beaten their ticket sales.

Re: Ed Sheeran
 

He has a theater in the round presentation and a floor full of GA admission. I am eternally grateful neither Beyoncé nor Taylor did that, as I find GA "seats" totally awful, and in-the round presentations mean you're looking at the singer's back a lot, no matter how great your seats are.

And he DIDN'T "beat" Taylor's sales in Levi's. She performed two shows with an average of 58,000 per night. Ed set a single show record at nearly 80,000. But last I checked 116,000 is bigger than "almost 80,000".

Re: Ed Sheeran
 

He is back with another global banger.
