Ed Sheeran - Little Bird

Powered by mp3skull.com

So lately my obsession with Ed Sheeran has rekindled and I have been listening to his angelic voice nonstop. Now who is Ed you may ask? He is a twenty-two year old british ginger that was on the british x-factor and has now began to find his fame here in the US. A few weeks ago, a couple of my friends and I went to see "Ginger Jesus" at the Palladium in Hollywood and it was by far one of the best concerts I have been to. There are two things that Ed does at his concerts that I have not seen any other artist do before. First of all, a majority of his songs are slow so he has the audience become dead silent when he sings some of these songs and even stops singing with the mic for a little while. Believe it or not, the audience actually shuts up for him and you can hear him in the back with no mic on. I found this quite amazing. Another thing that Ed does is make one song last over fifteen minutes. He sings the actual four minute song along with some audience participation, additional popular songs, and lots of repetition to make the energy last longer. It is an exciting new way to keep the audience pumped up at a concert when he has only a few high energy songs. If you have not listened to Ed Sheeran yet please look him up, you will fall in love with that voice.
