His new video for 'Only One' is excellent. Diana Agron absolutely killed the acting!
I'm somewhat late to the party, but I finally got around to buying his album and it's really, really fantastic. His voice is great; it can get grating from time to time (for me), but there's no denying his talent. The songs on this album are extremely well-written. Can't wait to see how well he does come Grammy time, because he's sure to grab some noms (and likely some wins, too).

I can only take so much of his voice after while though, but that doesn't mean that the album isn't excellent. The songs are very well-written, and I look forward to seeing how this era plays out. After "Stay With Me" and "I'm Not The Only One", I hope they switch it up by releasing something more uptempo like "Money On My Mind".

Not sure how I feel about it. He sounds good, but it's weird to turn "Fast Car" into a kind of jazzy sexed up song.

Sam covering Arctic Monkey's "Do I Wanna Know" in iTunes Festival. It was good.

I still don't understand why "Nirvana" wasn't included on In the Lonely Hour. Great song.

I cannot wait to see him in a couple of weeks for ACL! He's been my obsession. I need a Sam Smith/Kelly Clarkson duet asap!

That was an incredible concert!! I love Sam Smith so much. I hope the videos I recorded turned out decently. My phone was hating on me tonight.

I just listened to the whole album. Not impressed.
It's vey samey and.. boring? There are a couple of cute songs, but yeah he's as appealing as Adele to me. A few songs here and there but no thanks for a whole album.

I'm so jealous of everyone whose seen him live. I really wish I got tickets when they first went on sale.
A chunk of the album is still too dull for me, and the sequencing really makes it seem even moreso. He's a phenomenal singer though, his voice is incredibly emotive, I can't recall another singer in recent years that's struck me like him. I generally don't really analyze or lose my shit over vocals and singing (it's essentially just another part of a much longer equation generally for me), so that's why it's such a big surprsie for me.
I hope he pushes forward sonically with his next release. The best parts of his work show that it's possible to be soulful and absolutely contemporary at the same time.

He has a new video for Restart, which I guess is his next UK single?
It's (one of) my favourite(s) from the album. I hope it's next here.

The album got old to me really quickly, unfortunately. Not enough to really hold my interest. I will say that I will always come back to Latch, Stay With Me, and Money On My Mind though.

Madison Square Garden seems too large of a venue for him considering he's more of a singer than an entertainer. I see him thriving in a Radio City Music Hall size theater where he can showcase his voice and the songs themselves.
I bought his album a while back but just recently got around to listening to it. Not as eclectic of an album as I usually get into but a solid record none the less. My favorite is the first track "Money on My Mind".

Maybe you'll get your wish--she has confirmed a duet with a male singer who had an "amazing voice" and is "someone everyone loves." Then she covered Stay With Me at her first show back since she had her baby. Might be nothing, though--everyone is covering that song.

Got a floor ticket for MSG! Relatively cheap too considering that people who resell are going to charge hundreds.
