This man is about to blow up next week on SNL and I feel he has a major shot at being Thursday's big headliner.

Sweetest pipes out there right now, here's some videos in case some of you guys don't know him well

I saw his first US show the other night. It was fun and his new music was decent, but much heavier on the ballads than I was expecting. You should be able to find plenty of stuff on YouTube because everyone in the audience recorded every song, which got old.

His new album got bumped til June.

i'm not surprised by this. he's a vocalist. he excels when he can just let loose on a track. dance heavy tracks would limit this. Does he play any instruments at all? I haven't seen a video of him doing anything other than singing.

that's disappointing. really disappointing actually.

this is the world we live in.... damn shame.

(also, i'm not trying to dissect your post in a pompous-bitchy way, it was just easier to respond this way for some reason.)

It was a fun show, I'd definitely check him out at a fest, but his song writing is pretty hit and miss at this point

Finally watched the SNL episode after WalkingDead, Sam Smith was incredible. That voice is something special, he didn't have much stage presence but it definitely struck my soul. He has moved into my must see for sure!

I thought it was so adorable how he would look down and smile at the end of every song. He was blushing so bad after the first one, you could tell he's still adjusting to this oncoming fame & attention. I'm happy he did "lay me down," that's my favorite. I agree with the stage presence, but how much can you really do during a slow song?

I'm debating between Dr. Dog and Sam Smith. I've seen Dr. Dog, and really enjoy them. But, even in the VIP pit, the Which Stage during the day can be brutal.

Considering I'll already be at this tent since St. Paul and the Broken Bones are playing beforehand, it's probably easiest to just hang out and wait for Sam's British Buns.
