Did Ed even know who Ellie Goulding is? Does he listen to the radio nowadays?

    Saw her perform in a small club five years ago and was pretty impressed. Not particularly my cup of tea, but she has a pretty good cover of 'your song' if you want to check it out sometime.imageyoutu.be/jo7_ldPl1TI

    Maybe I should have rephrased. Anyone who has listened to pop radio in the last 5 years has heard an Ellie song. She's one of the most popular pop artists in the world and headlines festivals.
    And yes, he has kids. So the radio is most likely playing pop as he confirmed in that RS interview, and why PJ covered Frozen a few years back. So if he and his kids have listened to pop, yes, he's heard her songs.

    But, yeah, I dont think Ed is a fan of the pop scene, nor does he actively listen to it. He wouldn't be listening to it if his kids didn't.

    Okay so Ed is not a fan of the pop scene and that matters why? I guess I don't get this thread, everyone including musicians have their own tastes. So yes if he didn't have kids he most likely wouldn't hear her music. It's a photo, we don't know what's being said. He may be being polite or he may truly respect her because she's an artist and a fan. I don't picture Ed knowing the hottest rappers or death metal at the moment either but if he was introduced to those bands backstage at an enormous festival with dozens of other acts he'd probably be respectful as well.

    Should have done the Bond theme like rumoured instead of Sam Smith.

    And what does it matter if he didn't knew of her? He knows now.

    I bet all the guys at Bob Dylans 30th anniversary didn't know who Vedder was when he sang Masters of War.

    I was thinking the same thing about PJs first Bridge Show, with James Taylor and Elton John. Ed and the boys were Ellie Goulding in those first meetings

    Jesus, all this over a dissected photo?

    I have no idea who this chick is either, so what?

    Maybe he was being friendly and polite - apparently an odd concept nowadays, but still.

    Never heard of her, don't feel like I need to. Get off my lawn.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    while we like to imagine that PJ doesnt know anyone else on a festival bill and just shows up and plays thats hardly the case. Theyre businessmen. They meet with promoters, their manager fills them in on everything, etc . Theyre very aware of a lineup, especially headliners. Plus didnt Ed say he has to play Katy Perry in the car constantly for his kid?

    as far as I know none of us here are Eddie Vedder (if you are, then hey man, when you playing UK again?). we dont know what music he does or doesnt like, who he does or doesnt know. you dont have to like the same music/people as he does, just like the music he produces.

    Big difference tho! One rocks a PJ shirt that costs $1500 but has no idea who they are. The other became a musician because of Ten. :lol:

    Ellie Goulding has some seriously good pop songs and saw her on one of those live shows on Palledia and thought she came across pretty good live too.

    edit: her caption on the photo wasn't included either.

    "Anyone who knows me will know that this was an incredibly special moment for me. Meeting my hero Eddie for the first time."

    i think a lot of us can relate.

    Except we sort of DO know, the music he does and doesn't like. If you are quoted in the media saying "pop music is crap" its crystal clear what music you like and dislike. And does anyone here not know Ed's all time favorite band or the music he loves?
