I don't dislike his music, but I'm not actively seeking it out to hear it either.

"Stay with me" would be a much better song if anyone but him were performing it. I can't stand his singing.

It's cool to hate on him for a list of reasons, all of which are dumb.

I have his album and enjoy it. It's not on constant rotation, but it's good.

Not a guy I seek out, or avoid. Saw him and he was pretty good but it was a festival

Smith has the potential to be another George Michael. He has a better range than Michael and has a bluesy element to his voice.
His first CD was just OK.

Not liking the sound of a singer's voice is the least dumb reason to hate a singer.

that's fine, I guess. but most people just bring up the fact that he's gay. I think he's good.

He's an extremely talented singer with a unique sound. I really enjoyed the album. One of the best male pop voices in recent memory.

He can obviously sing, but does tend to whine too much at times. "Lay Me Down" and his radio hits aren't bad. The rest of his album is just so meh. He's ok I guess. As far as what's on the radio there are much worse than him.

Is he the Take Me to Church guy? If yes, I hate him.

I also really like "Not in that way" and the acoustic version of "Latch".
For those complaining about him "whining"... Why do you think Otis Redding got the nickname "Mr. Pitiful"?



Also his version of Whitney Houston "How will I know" is really good. LINK

Your comparison between Sam Smith and Otis Redding. I reject it.

Reject it all you want. I'm just saying there is a place in music for whining because Otis made a career out of it.
