I want to hate it, but its not that bad 
I like it even more over the fact it failed to reach no.1 and lost a shed load of revenue last weekend due to Spotify crashing. Which means its popularity now its actually had airplay is because people like the song and not those downloading it just because of who sung it.

There is some irksome repition, unfortunately, and it's about a minute too long. Otherwise, a good effort and I think he has a cracking voice and one of which I've never really taken notice.

Yes, music choice is, and even other choices are subjective, and other biases also come in a way. For me, 'Harry Styles' name alone winds me up by itself, but when I heard the song concerned, it sounded good. I just had to imagine that it was some other random singer singing, not Harry Styles.
I prefer Ed Sheehan to Harry Styles. My spontaneous image of Ed is always him standing alongside the two royal brothers. I know where it's coming from: ginger hair and placid, nicely-nicey personality.
So was Nirvana's 'Come as you are' was. Repetition isn't the issue, as long as it is gratifying.
People reserve their right to shytify some music, to be fair. Even Bob Geldof called Sting's music shyte, so hey! :

Even 8 year olds know Ed Sheehan and pretend to be a hopeless romantic like him. The cocky little sh7ts that fancy their teachers of their mother's age want to be like Harry Styles.
Even though, the song mentioned here by Harry Styles isn't bad at all. Not to my ears, anyway.

Kurt Cobain was many things, just a shame a talented guitarist wasn't one of them. Not really now, the week Divide was released he managed to get the entire album (16 songs iirc) into the top 20 and he's had the number 1 spot ever since.

Given the abortion that him and his prior group mates (they don't deserve to be called a band by the way) made of One Way or Another / Teenage Kicks, I can't bring myself to listen to any of them and am unlikely to for the rest of my natural...

Kurt Cobain was so beautiful as well! Even the adolescents of this day and age know him, and want to be as talented and as good looking as he was!
shame is when some of the musician types 'in a band' with long hair start to do drugs and womanising as well, and think that they are Kurt Cobain's reincarnation. That's just not on.

Loves his red wine.

Ed Sheeran love him or hate him writes his own songs, performs them without too much backing and seems to me to be a genuinely nice chap.
Harry Styles is irrelevant, his new song would have been written by someone else so nothing other than a performer like Robbie Williams, kylie etc, no substance to them at all.
There will always be puppets like Styles but legends are thin on the ground, that's why reunions have become a thing.
I genuinely think Ed is a legend of modern times.
I changed my mind about him when I saw him perform at the brits a couple of years ago. Playing live and using recorded loops as his backing whilst singing is incredibly difficult.

Funnily enough that's what sold me. I was a bit meh about him until I saw a program on Sky that followed him through 3 nights at Wembley for his "Multiply" tour. By all accounts a really rather impressive artist.

No. Ed is very talented both in writing and playing but realistically Noel is on another level when it comes to writing.
I think unless you're an Oasis fan you can't get past the Liam is a ***** facade.
Songs like Wonderwall, live forever etc are what people think Oasis was but in my experience most oasis fans fell in love with unrealeased album tracks or the B sides.
About a year ago now on a FB site some news popped up about Liam. Everyone, obviously of a younger generation, slagged him off etc etc.
But one bloke commented 'it doesn't matter if it's outta tune cos you're cool'. Hundreds of oasis fans instantly replied having heard one off the cuff remark from a b side album released 20 years ago. That summed up being an oasis fan for me, like it's our little secret.

He's certainly got some talent and some bollocks to stand alone rather than have 20 dancers on a massive stage. Although I like his songs they don't take my breath away and I admire anyone that's put a large chunk of their life into being creative.

I haven't met many famous people but was in a pub many years ago when Liam and his entourage wandered in. They really were as nice as pie and ever so polite. Liam apologised to me for blocking my view of the band that was playing and promptly moved.
I have to admit I was rather shocked by his (good) behaviour given what I had read in the paper.
Btw, Harry Stiles has been given a role by Christopher Nolan in his upcoming film Dunkirk!
