His songs have billions of views on Spotify but they are all just slop. Is his fanbase just teen girls with bad taste and low standards?

I thought he was mostly ok for many years but I absolutely loved his first big singles that he last released of his new music.

I'm not a fan either, though to be fair his work is easier to listen to than most other pop music.

He was ok in Harry Potter but he used that to start a singing career. Guess it worked.

He is considerably more talented than the vast majority of other pop artists. He doesn't have to use autotune and is capable of writing music with actual instruments.

That being said, his music is super simplistic and designed to appeal to young girls. He isn't particularly spectacular at anything outside of his ability to target a market. Though considering the amount of highly manufactured image based trash artists there are, he gets praise from me for simply being an actual musician

This is how I feel about literally the entire genre of rap.

His first 2 cds were great and his concert was pretty amazing. 3rd cd was good enough as well. Hadn't paid much attention to anything after that though.

Because girls in their late teens go crazy for generic "dude with acoustic guitar singing vaguely about love" songs.

The fact that he's genuinely a really good guy probably helps too, even if that has little relevance to his music.

How tf are his songs "vaguely" about love. They're either straight up sentimental sap or about fucking. Nothing vague about it.
