[FoxyGirl]

guys can we just stop a minute a take into account that he learn't this in 2 mins and 25 secs! I mean C'mon for an artist to pull of something like this has to be a pro! i doubt any other artists could have done what he just did. Ed you are freaking amazing you don't you ever forget that!! <3 x 

[vasilikhrusher]

Are you kidding me..???? How more amazingly talented can he become ???? I ED SHEERAN <3<3<3<3<3

[sarahp.]

it makes my cry, this voice, this guy, - more than beautiful, no words srsly ♥

[BiancaBurgio]

he can't be real. he is too perfect, damn.

[beccahollenbeck]

this NEEDS to be on iTunes with all his other covers

[MissySimpleM]

Honestly, there are so many singers that won't even go on a radio/tv station and sing their OWN song live. You can really tell that Ed has something special. And I really like the fact that he's not afraid to try something unknown like this. It might not be as perfect as something he'd put on his cd but it's still pretty amazing.

[yaminikrishnan]

He didn't "attempt" it, he SLAYED it ( in a good way obviously)

[davetay]

Love the guy in the background goin ' I know, fuckin unbelievable!'

[kelseybrady]

Is there anything this man can not sing perfectly? I mean come on. He's extremely talented!!!

[PhanGirling]

i was driving to the warehouse and this came on the radio and i burst into tears bc i love ed 

my mother thinks i'm crazy

[makizzan]

he gets confused with the harmony (not blaming him, it is pretty strange for a pop song) and his voice clashes some tritones w the guitar but yet succeeds in improvising. great
