Sam Smith

What is with the obsession with this guy?

Just hearing his new song Lay Me Down on Radio 1, and my god it sounds so bad, almost to the point of it sounds like a really bad karaoke version.

No idea, i think he sings like he has a speech impediment.

Yep cannot stand him either. Soon as it comes on the radio i will switch. Its the typical music of today when there is a two line verse and 12x chorus in just one song...Stay with me for example.

Same as the 99% of other dross on the radio.

Completely disagree, I really like his album and I'm not normally one for the mainstream tripe.

Yes Stay with me is a bit repetitive and is overplayed, but all big singles end up that way. It's far from his best track though, try listening to Like I Can or I've Told You Now.

I definitely get that he won't be to a lot of people's taste though

More of the same mass produced radio nonsense.

His voice is nothing special at all, too much lisp.

He does it for the love.

He does have a speech impediment.

I like Sam Smith because he has lots of talent and sounds amazing live. More talent you'd be pushed to find.

A couple of his songs have grown on me. Bit of a diva, the male Adele basically, but an absolutely fantastic singer.

Yep, not my kind of music but the guy can sing.

He sounds like a whiney screechy cat.

Such a shame about the comic relief song, John Legend has a nice voice to listen to...Sam Smith just doesn't.
