i would have said I did not like him but then find myself singing along to his songs and enjoying them. Bought the cd yesterday and although quite similar throughout it I quite like it - quite catchy!
Personally, I think it makes a refreshing change to have something undeniably melodic and fun, and something that is neither overly serious and angsty, nor sickly boy band cover version cack. I also admire his ability to upset the music snobs (it's only pop music, people, it isn't Beethoven). Long may it continue.
Love and adore him, the album is fantastic, it's a long time since I've heard such well-used and diverse samples of other tracks. Occasionally he is very Scissor-Sister-ish, but I like them too, so it's all good! Like others have said, it's pop music, not Beethoven, it does exactly what it says on the tin, and it does it well.
