Thank God someone’s continuing the long-held British tradition of white artists embarrassingly appropriating Jamaican music.

Hes genuinely awful. Not in a sense that hes popular so must be shit, but his music is really really bad. Plua Im not having this “yeah but hes a good guy” , hes a twerp. Music for aunties

Can’t decide what about this song is most offensive, and I actually quite like some of his stuff. This, though; this is just baffling.

Only just dipping into this thread. I mean you’re sort of right but actually this song’s chorus is just TLC’s No Scrubs.

If you Google those it seems I’m not alone in thinking this. How did none of you mention it in the thread?

(That Galway Girl one is fucking horrendous too.)

Yeah, totally. To the extent that I’ve had this shite as an on-and-off earworm for about a month now and every so often it morphs into No Scrubs. There are some dark arts at work.

That is absolutely shocking. Shame that Bieber didn’t twat him with the golf club.

So many awful lines in this, but I find “your love was handmade for somebody like me”’ particularly punch-the-wall egregious
