"I'm a very strange person" - direct quote from Ed Sheeran

[@ribeiro1996ful]

hahaha

[@AndreaMartinez-nl7hc]

:)

[@TGK1206]

Ed is a 24 year old, old soul. Such a talented, beautiful, genuine man.

[@deannaloh8404]

Tunde Kiss is

[@deadication9941]

Ed don't ever get a band! You are all we need on stage ☺️

[@ginniekinz5401]

Yeah. But it'd be weird to see him in a band, but if he started out in one it'd be weird to see him go solo, so...

[@ITookYourFaceGaming]

He's only allowed a band if I'm his drummer.

[@glendakurkimaki5834]

+Deadication I agree!

[@glendakurkimaki5834]

+Glenda Kurkimaki He doesn't need a band. He is the bomb all on his own!

[@glendakurkimaki5834]

+Glenda Kurkimaki Ed Sheeran has ruined me as a music fan who loves to see artists live. I have seen many concerts in my day but when I saw Ed Sheeran in Ottawa this past summer, I changed. There was no fanfare, no dancers, no orchestra, no explosions, just pure, raw talent. It was the best concert I have ever been to, and I like all different generes. I have seen Winton Marsales, Frank Sinatra Jr., David Bowie, etc. He is the real deal!

[@irenemari8002]

I love how in the beginning he listens to all his accomplishments asif he's in school and has to remember it for a test :)

[@christinejones3978]

Lovely Lovely, vulnerable, open, humble, sweet, genuine and talented soul. A proper English gentleman.

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

Yeah, I agree.

[@emiliemorin6235]

It’s a one reason, i would like to meet him.

[@caovb]

I'm 33 and I discover Ed music on internet two mouths ago Everything started from "Photograph" song. Since then I listen to all his available songs in internet and watch every single interview or concert. In my opinion in this crazy times his music makes. Me feel better. Ed is the normal person and I wish to myself that he always be the same person and he will never changed. For me he already became a music legend. Once again Ed be yourself and thanks for what you already do for music. Please come to visit POLAND cause great FANS waiting here for You. All the best X

+Grzegorz Cao Miło tak czytać sobie komentarze i nagle znaleźć kogoś "ze swoich" :) Pozdr!

[@caovb]

+maniakjutub Dzieki heh tym bardziej ze nie spodziewalem sie jakiegokolwiek komentarza:) skad jestes? tez sluchasz Eda?

[@maniakjutub]

+Grzegorz Cao A no widzisz - niespodzianka :)) Z zachodniopomorskiego, a Ty? Słucham słucham, praktycznie od samego początku jego kariery :) Jeszcze apropo koncertu - Ed był w Polsce, 13 lutego 2015. Niestety, tak jak Ty, nie mogłam tam być (choć bilety miałam). Ale, jak to mówią, 'co się odwlecze...' :) Teraz niedawno wyszła reedycja jego płyty, więc jakaś nadzieja na przedłużenie trasy koncertowej jest! :)

[@caovb]

+maniakjutub przejdzmy na konwersacje poprzez email a nie na yt podam ci adres odpisz to porozmawiamy o Edzie:) [e-mail]

"i'm not very talented" - Ed Sheeran. That's how you stay fucking grounded.

[@robinlabouche2230]

A great interview....what a very wise and talented young man he is !!!!!

[@charleshenryix]

+Robin LaBouche Wise.True.

[@ReaIiPlayBedwars]

I agree, Charlie rose is pretty cool. ed Sheeran was good too tho

[@beckyhazlett2162]

I'm so glad he finally decided to appear in his videos. Years from now rethinking his music his face will come to mind. Its not perfection people are relating to. Its his music, character, and creativity.

[@MrDannyGraf]

"If you can't play an instrument or sing live you shouldn't do it! Get a different job!" - Ed Sheeran

[@ginniekinz5401]

That's very inspirational Ed, thank you! 😭

[@BarriosGroupie]

+Danny Graf He missed out: " or if you're not sexy" 'cos the audience can at least lust after them.

[@bethx5714]

+Danny Graf but he also believes that one can practice it. At that time he could'nt sing, play the guitar or write songs perfectly himself. Sometimes he has said during an interview that one must practice it! But if one isn't able after everlasting practice he's right, isn't he?

[@ILOVEVIDEOS901]

Selena Gomez should not be in the industry... She dances and works the stage well but she CANT sing lol

[@daisy2210]

+imjojowheezy she can't sing live and she can't play an instrument yeah she can dance but that's not what singers do

[@dpmc28]

"I'm a very strange person..." Love this man!

[@emmyd.4197]

He is "The Man"!!!! Sorry its 1 AM mate and I don't got friends to tell my puns to...guess "I'm a mess" right now, I just had to get "One" more pun in. Now i'm really wishing I cold just "Take it back".. because those puns were just horrible...

[@Angelsss212]

I've got a lot of homework to do, but Ed is more important right now

[@maayangrace2517]

Angela I’m in the same boat...

[@magdapecas]

I love that He is always very honest and humble in his answers, I think he is so intelligent, talented, handsome, funny, Ed is the best ,,, I love him

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

He's really intelligent, smart, always knows what he's doing and what he's going to do. He's super talented and very handsome, cute, loves his fans. I love him so much.

[@Roycey1]

This an incredible interview with an utter superstar on every level. What a journey so far!

[@karis3145]

Ed is such an inspirational person, and I'm so glad I found him. He's truly a beautiful person inside and out. I love all of his tattoos, music, and everything about him!! Does anyone else love his lion tattoo? I think it's beautiful and it's cute how this shirt he's wearing you could see a little bit of orange from the top of the tattoo! I love him so much!!!

[@sweethartia]

His tattoos are so cool

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

Me too. I totally agree with you, sheerio not cheerio. He's a wonderful person inside and out. I love his music, his voice, his guitar playing, his live shows, all his tattoos and everything about him.

[@elansings]

❤️

[@soulaimab9871]

I came here because of his tweet.. this is my favourite interview he has made too 😊😊

[@reytheplatypus]

i love how nonchalant he is about all of these amazing things that have happened to him. definitely knows what he wants and how he wants it.

[@beatricecouture3046]

He's such a Down To Earth artist! All my respect goes to him

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

I always love watching and listening to all of his interviews. Ed is very intelligent, knows what he wants, achieves what he wants, is super talented songwriter, singer and guitarist. He's also very kind,he's extremely likeable, respects his fans

[@ashleighjaimaosborne3966]

This 61 year old appreciates your music. 👍🏼🇨🇦

[@jfsaine]

Why every Charlie Rose interview isn't posted on KZbin in its entirety, such as this one, is beyond me.

[@user-yh2uz7dl4w]

Good point about the crowd singing. Hate seeing a show and the artist doesn't sing my favorite line to my favorite song because they want the crowd to... Save the crowd singing for the end of the song after you've sung all the lyrics lol

[@Oeduardoalbrecht]

The very end of the interview... that's why I like and respect so much this amazing artist!

[@annelmoreno6862]

Ed, you are my everything. I love you more than all the words in the world in every single language and dialect could ever describe. Thank you for making me happy and for helping me discover what real, genuine music is. I will never love any other artist as much as I love you. You've made me complete and for that I thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're an angel. Don't ever stop being you.

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

This is the best interview Ed has ever had.

[@felipea.8075]

I went to his concert and it was the best day of my life! Ed, you are my hero!

[@Rebekahxoxo]

What I got out of that interview: work really hard and be yourself and you will succeed and be happy. Thanks Ed :-)

[@galinav.k.6517]

One of the few big artists thats still genuine and down-to-earth. thats why I love him

[@eveelyn95]

He is so smart, I love the way he thinks about music how thought full he is about it

[@chelseystewart6855]

I wish that I was able to meet him before he became famous. He's such an amazing person and it would be amazing to meet him. It probably won't happen now that he's so big. I want to meet him not because he's famous but because of the person he is.

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

Me too.

[@lolowcals]

he's grown so much, it makes me tear up (,:

[@ginniekinz5401]

"I've made this album on tour, and I'm making the next album on tour." THERES GONNA BE ANOTHER ALBUM 😱 (I mean, of course there'll be another, but hearing him say it makes it official!)

[@bethx5714]

+GinnieKinz💜 I've heard it should come out at the end of 2016

[@hhig123]

he said the label is pushing for a mid Sept 2016 release but he is not sold on that idea set because of the Grammy date of Oct 1st lol

[@rikard.h]

+lydia smith Still no news... Hoping for early 2017 :)

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

I miss him so much. I want to go to his concert, to meet him, to speak to him, to hug him and get him to sign his book and CDs fo me. I love him so much.

[@felipea.8075]

And here we are 😊 Divide is the best thing I've ever heard in my life! I love sim so much

[@emiryjx]

He is such an amazing songwriter. You can tell the amount of effort and soul that goes into each song and ugh.. I am obsessed with his guitar skills. I wish that I could be half as talented as he is.

[@ksenijajemensek6126]

I totally agree with you.

[@sawychuck9797]

ed is so amazing. I'm so happy he made his dreams come true with just his guitar

[@jenjones90]

His well-connected, successful father had a lot to do with it.

[@sawychuck9797]

@@jenjones90 i can’t believe you made me look at a comment that i made 5 years ago just to discredit ed sheeran lmfao

[@theresanguyen3770]

I heard Ed on Acoustic Sunrise many yrs ago. He's still the best!!

[@HM-yv9xk]

Such a genuine guy asking questions who comprehends Ed well.

[@esther4387]

He post on Twitter that this was his favourite interview and well I know why he say this!! I love my Edward so much

[@DimmedLightsGuides]

+Jin kaz Because Charlie Ross was asking intelligent questions about the background of Ed and where he comes from, not trying to make he talk about the scene, spread rumours or find out things that he didn't want Charlie to know. It was a sensible, well thought out question line.

[@zztopz7090]

+Jacob Unsworth I agree.

[@felipea.8075]

Emily Martinez. Me too ❤

[@daniluchner5492]

It's so crazy how amazing he is and how successful he is, yet always so humble!!

[@killedkenny2725]

I love him saying "I..I...I" all the time😂

[@audreygagnon9923]

I've been following this guy for 3 years and since then i've been answering to the question "who's your favorite singer/musician?" That he is and always will be! ❤️ so talented so beautiful precious cinnamon roll i want to go see his show again!!! ❤️👌🏼

[@aracelyquistian1915]

When you already started crying in the first 2 mins. :') So proud of teddy

[@Iblamedonna]

Always nice to listen to Ed Sheeran---and Charlie Rose is such a great interviewer.

[@wizeysa]

A very special man Sheeran is.

[@chernobylFarms]

Wow...this is the first I've heard of this guy, yet I'm amazed. He may be just the person to rehabilitate Don Henley!

[@LucasMarkHardy]

Love the idea of just doubling James Blunt's schedule. Don't think I could double Ed's...

[@Relekism]

oh man, I can't believe these two got together for an interview, it's a dream of mine come true!

[@kelseybrady1360]

Am I the only one who was smiling throughout this entire video??((:

[@bhanuprakash3144]

he's so honest...such a character!

[@jajanesaddictions]

I came to #edsheeran during a breakup. I found him at Thinking Out Loud, the Video. I fell in Love with his songs. He gives hope and love a chance in a cruel world. He looks fabulous in a suit. It makes him look taller, slimmer and very handsome. (now stop biting your nails, ed.) Love you.

[@Saramgarcia88]

this is the best interview ever. so much respect fpr this guy♥

[@lovejem450]

Oh poor ed looked so awkward during the introduction BUT THERES GOING TO BE ANOTHER ALBUM THANKGOOOOSSHHH

[@ceciliafraternale41]

WHAT A MAN!!! I AGREE WITH EVERY LITTLE THING HE SAID. HOW PROUD I AM OF YOU, GINGERHEAD!!! :) x

[@bethx5714]

But this is the reason why so many People admire Ed. Coz he stands on the stage just with his guitar and voice and build up a crass beat. Without a band!!! That puts him out. But anyway i'll love him and his music all the same what he does.

[@nabilbhaai]

You can tell Charlie is really enjoying interwieing Ed

[@user-kk5kr5ys6i]

What an interesting interview. Charlie Rose certainly knows how to bring people out.

[@playspotify]

16:34 "Coz anyone that comes across as a D**k does not sell that many records"...he was actually referring to Miley Cyrus calling him the d**k and I guess this is the answer for that...Ed you are awesome!

[@fragux]

You inspire me, ed

[@Alexzandra92]

Such a great interview!

[@sweetiepie190]

Ed Sheeran was the only reason to read the credits at the end, to the very end. Ever. Almost as if by accident, but the song made them seem more important than usual. :)

[@kyleelol3256]

I cry over ed every day. c':

[@Twist930]

Mate I remember ed on sbtv when he first come out now look at him it's crazy !!

[@lizzy212jag]

ED Sheeran's songs absolutely connect with every person and every part of your being . It's totally unexplainable, but Ed Sheeran touches every part of every cell, of every part of my heart, soul, mind, body , everything. He's beautiful. Amazing. Fantastic, Wonderful . Ed Sheeran is the absolute.

[@meverick]

Love it, so much to learn from Ed for any musician

[@BaktaBak3]

Ed doesn't NEED a band. You have more control (for better or worse) :-) as a solo artist with a guitar.

[@rosy6680]

Ed is the best person of the world.

[@lazerlazer]

Ed is a great guy he really held his own with Charlie Rose. He’s got tremendous common sense just a smart guy and humble.

[@sonicfoxxmusic4281]

I just experimented with something. I gave a sixty year old friend who is into huge production in all kinds of music Ed Sheeran's X album. I didn't tell this friend who it was. I sprayed over the face of the cd(to disguise it) and left it with him for three days, then asked him his immediate reaction and thoughts...he only came up with FOUR.... "How come i've never heard this guy before?....AND WHY THE MASSIVE PRODUCTION?...he doesn't require it!...........whoever he is, he certainly has talent" He may have a point.

[@christinecash115]

I Love Ed he is so creative and genuine!

[@vickismith9852]

I have such admiration for this man. His approach to being human, to his music, work ethic, etc. I could go on. So genuine, gentle of heart but also bit of a mischievous lad as well. Great interview!
