he literally makes every song his own. i love ALL his covers. so nice of him to say those things about ella too! figuring it out in 2 minutes, wow. you deserved that grammy ed :)
+Oli Joni he is neither of those he worked really hard for these skills you do realize that right? it offends people who worked for it really hard and you call them "naturally talented or god gifted"
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!!
Let me start by saying I personally am a fan of Ed. But it's really not THAT impressive that he learned it in 2 minutes and 25 seconds. It's only a few chords and he had a page with lyrics.
yh but at the level he performed it is. I mean it may look fairly easy but, its alot harder then you think. If you disagree then I'd love to see your rendition of it after 2 mins and 25 secs.
It's awesome. I have to play a wedding in the morning. Learned this and 7 other songs in a night at 4 am so, other artiest can definitely do it. Still awesome though! Love ed!
everyone who has played guitar over 5 years can learn to play that in two minutes. Hes playing only chords with fingers, singing is another thing cuz ed has a fucking amazing voice.
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.
People say "better than lorde's version", do you realise lorde created the song out of nothing and with out it no other versions or covers would exist. It is easy to tweak a song and you might prefer it because you prefer ed sheeran's voice or the acoustic feel but covers should never be compared to originals it's just stupid. Compare covers to covers
Now while I agree with this statement in some regards, I also want to point out the flaws. See, let's consider the cell phone. Now if you don't know what the original cell phone looked like, please click this link www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009/05/the-evolution-of-cell-phone-design-between-1983-2009/ It is the first picture. That person created it out of nothing. Thought, yes I like telephones, but I don't want to be limited by this cord! So they thought, wireless. And BOOM, first cell phone was invented. Now every cell phone made after that (please scroll down the above link for examples, again, if you don't know what they look like) was a, what you like to call, "tweaked" version of the original. You're saying we shouldn't compare these tweaked versions to the original. Now, if you never compared today's cell phones to the original cell phones, I would be waiting in a chair for my doctor to call me back while playing 2048 and listening to music on a little device and you would be walking around with a brick in your pocket. So please, while I agree we need to owe credit to Lorde for this amazing song, we need to not forget the beauty of compare and contrast. It's a method that has been around for as long as it has for a reason.
Seth Hardley Allie made a similar point that I made. Personally, I don't like Lorde's version. I'm more of an acoustic type of guy when it comes to music. I much prefer instruments to computer generated sounds. That is why I like this version better than the original. Yes, Lorde was the creator, but I like this version better. That's not saying Lorde didn't create it. It just means that in my opinion, this is a better rendition of it.
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
I think the most dont know the difference between a COVER and a TRIBUTE! If you like to have the same song like Lorde sung it you have to Tribute it! A Cover means, that you are free in all the stuff like lyrics, melody, feelings etc etc!! Good job ED! See you in Berlin!
STUNNING! This dude will without a doubt go down as the best musician in the world, of his generation! I've NEVER seen or heard him do sumn that I didn't think was great! I doubt anyone can say they have. Considering he does so kany covers n live performances, that is really sayin sumn!
Me too. I'm from Slovenia. I just love everything about Ed and am a true Sheerio. I am looking for some Sheerios from Slovenia who will go to Ed's concert ( when he comes back from his break ) with me. I don't know if he comes to Slovenia. If you want to come with me send me a mail to : ksenija.jemensek@gmail.com.
I feel like only musicians can truly appreciate this. To just make a chord progression in a completely different key and fit the lyrics into it. It really is insane how fast he came up with this.
This was beautiful! Like a karaoke version! Would love to hear the two of them in a mix! Really love the original ❤ Everybody loves singing with you guys! Thanks!
Vid Trim, you are SO WRONG. When Lorde's sang this song a few years ago, I thought it was boring. I couldn't listen to it on the radio. Ican only listen to it in Ed's version.
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town No post code envy But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair And we'll never be royals It don't run in our blood That kind of lux just ain't for us We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen B And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule) Let me live that fantasy My friends and I we've cracked the code We count our dollars on the train to the party And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this We didn't come from money But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair And we'll never be royals It don't run in our blood That kind of lux just ain't for us We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen B And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule) Let me live that fantasy We're bigger than we ever dreamed, and I'm in love with being queen (Ooh ooh oh) Life is great without a care We aren't caught up in your love affair And we'll never be royals It don't run in our blood That kind of lux just ain't for us We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen B And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule) Let me live that fantasy
I admire you, Ed Sheeran. Honestly.

It will always and forever be Lordes song, which I would much rather listen to
Any song Ed touches is gorgeous. He just has IT.
Ed Sheeran never ceases to amaze me.
he literally makes every song his own. i love ALL his covers. so nice of him to say those things about ella too! figuring it out in 2 minutes, wow. you deserved that grammy ed :)

this NEEDS to be on iTunes with all his other covers
+MysteryPlayz- Mcpe hers is to slow and his is perfect
He is a god
+Becca Hollenbeck no he's not. He's just a gift from god
+Oli Joni he is neither of those he worked really hard for these skills you do realize that right? it offends people who worked for it really hard and you call them "naturally talented or god gifted"
+kshitij munjaal He is gifted in music but he worked hard to come to where he is now. You can't just sit down one day and decide to become a musician
I swear, Ed can make anything sound incredible, with that angelic voice of his.
Hey check

Are you kidding me..???? How more amazingly talented can he become ???? I LOOOOOVE ED SHEERAN !!!!!!!
Ed & Lorde are the best!!!!!!!
No, both.
No, solo ed. It will always be solo ed
No, both. You, shut up hahahaha
Nope solo ed
Solo ed
He didn't "attempt" it, he SLAYED it ( in a good way obviously)
U HVE TO SEE D NEW SING VID ITS WEIRD
I Couldnt see d whole vid it was just....,.
Ikr sooo weird :/ but it's ed so he's kinda perfect

I agree
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!!

Well I can't sing. But I can play the guitar. That wasn't hard.
It's awesome. I have to play a wedding in the morning. Learned this and 7 other songs in a night at 4 am so, other artiest can definitely do it. Still awesome though! Love ed!
everyone who has played guitar over 5 years can learn to play that in two minutes. Hes playing only chords with fingers, singing is another thing cuz ed has a fucking amazing voice.
HOW IN LESS THAN 3 MINUTES DOES SOMEONE DO THIS HOLY CRAP EDWARD SHEERAN SLAY ME
he can't be real. he is too perfect, damn.
Bianca Burgio because hes perfect.
Get it? His song
his voice is perfect. what else? perfect is boring get real..
Lol was that supposed to be a pun
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.
Love the guy in the background goin ' I know, fuckin unbelievable!'
Lol same

Daken Blioux You're not making a point at all, you're just stating your opinion.
That is my point. Whether or not you like this better than the original is an opinion.
he makes the song so much more emotional
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
Your the reason these singers need bodyguards
awesomebarnes
good one :))
awesomebarnes that is very true
your mother is probably right
she is
OMG i´m in loveeeee with this cover!
ED IS LIFE
ED IS LOVE
lol other way round
HIS VOICE IS SO SWEET ❤
Yeah, it's so sweet and amazing.
Everytime he sings different songs I happen to love them
u r amazing ed
Ed can literally make any sad song the most beautiful happiest thing in the earth!🥰
I really enjoy his cover of this ..giving a slight mixture of his style within the actual tune and style of the original song ...so lovely
K .H
Is there anything this man can not sing perfectly? I mean come on. He's extremely talented!!!
I'm crying. He can make anything sound beautiful. FML
His voice though. 😍😍😍😍
Oh how I love him! There are no words for how much Talent and emotions he has!
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
❤ still listening to this cover, absolutely brilliant
No words to say.
Unreal!!! Ed you amaze me, I love you and your voice so much x
Proofs once again that Ed is amazing.
it's like he turned this into a completely different song and I am living for it
oh mymymy... beautiful!
this song gives me goosebumps ♡
eargasmic.
I don't understand how he makes everything so passionate and personal. That was great.
THIS COVER IS PERFECT.
PS: I really love the boy behind with the GoT's tshirt.
i love how every song Ed covers, he makes it his own song. Incredible, nothing else to say!
Love his version with this song. It's. Just. So. Ed.
Never thought I would love this song until now.
His voice makes everything better!!!!!!!
This man is amazing... his voice is just so raw and gritty and just so ahhhmazing! Damn!
this guy can absolutely cover any frickin song in any genre.
SO freaking awesome! I love him so much!
He's just the perfect singer of the world
His voice is the best i've ever heard...♡
I dont know why but.. Personally i would love to see Ed be a judge on The Voice :)
I just would like that so badly..
TROLLS IN 1, 2, 3.. GO!
Troll Fail
He came once as a guest coach for team Christina
Well yeah, but i would like to see him be a Judge, to see how he works with the new talents.
Eds a Musician, singer song writer and that's what he'll be for the rest of his life.
Diwan Roka Actually he's starting a record label now... haha
I think the most dont know the difference between a COVER and a TRIBUTE!
If you like to have the same song like Lorde sung it you have to Tribute it!
A Cover means, that you are free in all the stuff like lyrics, melody, feelings etc etc!!
Good job ED! See you in Berlin!
THANK YOU
You. Are. Perfect.
This is honestly truly amazing. I love it so much! Forever a Sheerio!
I loveee this more then the actual song
wow, meanie.
It's TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!!
first time I heard, it sounds like... sad song
But, every song u sing is great.
Whoaaa!! Ed !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
STUNNING! This dude will without a doubt go down as the best musician in the world, of his generation! I've NEVER seen or heard him do sumn that I didn't think was great! I doubt anyone can say they have. Considering he does so kany covers n live performances, that is really sayin sumn!
Never fails to amaze me, truly beautiful
I miss him so much!!!
Me too. I'm from Slovenia. I just love everything about Ed and am a true Sheerio.

His voice is just soooo unique, it is completely compelling in a good way
My gosh Ed was awesome at that in fact just as awesome as Lorde! :D
True that 👌❤
ed makes everysong beautiful
I love this version. I like it better than the original :3
i'm just in love with this cover!!!
oh lord, the things this man can do
I feel like only musicians can truly appreciate this. To just make a chord progression in a completely different key and fit the lyrics into it. It really is insane how fast he came up with this.
What happened to ed's girlfriend? Sheeran away
Hahaha
lel
It's funny cause you answered your own question.
Jordan John but who would respond?
I'm right here...😊😇
Wow! Great cover version!! I
I'm a HUGE Ed Sheeran fan. Love his voice. I covered Royals too, as well as "The A Team". He's a big influence on me as a performer and songwriter.
this is how you be astonished and amazed with how amazing something is in pure afrikaans ... BLIKSEM!!
He is the only artist who can cover any song ever created much better than the original and you know this from the very beginning.
Now thats what you call TALENT!! love you ED!
He totally changed "Royals" to make it his own! Which i loveee
This was beautiful! Like a karaoke version! Would love to hear the two of them in a mix! Really love the original ❤ Everybody loves singing with you guys! Thanks!
he made this song bearable
I love this. His voice is just so beautiful.
Who still listen to this majestic cover? Well I still do, this is just so good!!!
He fucking slayed this
Yeah, I totally agree.
His version is awesome and Lorde’s is awesome! So cool! I am obsessed with his voice💖
I love Lorde's original version, but Ed made a nice version as well...
oh my god. just totally fell in love all over again
Youre my king bee 😍😍
I LOVE ED SO MUCH
this version is my favorite.....
Everything he touches turns into gold.
Im literally the guy in the back, smiling and nodding to the song *-*
Amazing Cover by Ed, Loved it.
Ed can sing period
He is a very talented young man.. can't wait to see his concert in Vancouver this summer!!
I remember watching him on the Grammies
Ed can cover any song in the world and does it better than than the oroginal. He is just great.
Ksenija Jemensek I guess this the exception.
Vid Trim, you are SO WRONG. When Lorde's sang this song a few years ago, I thought it was boring. I couldn't listen to it on the radio. Ican only listen to it in Ed's version.
Ksenija Jemensek I thought Lorde's version was insteresting and something you don't hear everyday while Ed made it just another acoustic pop ballad.
Brilliant! Such a talent, everything he does ...
YO NEW ZEALAND IS THE BEST COUNTRY EVER!!!! LOVE U ED 😘
This is absolutely beautiful. So in love with Ed.
Seriously, I like more this version than the original
Anything and every thing he does is amazing. That voice...my heart is melting :)
Check our brazilian COVER of Royals using water percussion and GIVE ME LOVE of Ed Sheeran too!
Nossa Toca já "checkei" faz tempo
I love this cover! He made the song his. He's just awesome! 💚
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town
No post code envy
But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen B
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
My friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
We didn't come from money
But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen B
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
We're bigger than we ever dreamed, and I'm in love with being queen
(Ooh ooh oh)
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen B
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
