Ed Sheeran Vs A Potato

In-depth investigation below

Welcome to Pop Star Vs A Vegetable. This highly scientific experiment is tasked with finding out what’s better – greens, or Professor Greens? This week, ginger singer Ed Sheeran goes up against the much-loved potato. Here’s the results.

LOOKS

A potato is not the best-looking veggie in the shop but it’s a potato so that’s okay.

Ed Sheeran looks like a potato with ginger hair, he’s meant to look like a man so this is not okay.

Ed – 0  Potato – 1

ECONOMICS

A bag of King Edward potatoes costs £1.75 in Tesco giving you approximately 8 servings at 21p a meal – bargain.

Ed Sheeran’s album is currently £6.99 on Amazon giving you approximately one hour of melancholy at 58p a track – rip-off.

Ed – 0  Potato – 1

LEGACY

In the 1800s diseased potatoes led to the Irish Potato Famine where 1 million people died.

In the 21st century if Ed Sheeran was to get a cold we doubt anyone would die.

Ed – 1  Potato – 0

HEALTH WARNING

Potatoes are full of starch and carbs which can make you fat.

Listening to ‘Lego House’ on repeat whilst wallowing in self-pity can make you suicidal.

Ed – 0  Potato – 0

ENVIRONMENT

If you stick a potato plant in the ground, leave in the sun and wait a few months you’ll soon have food.

If you leave Ed Sheeran in the sun for a few months you’ll have a severely burnt popstar and a lawsuit.

Ed – 0  Potato – 1

RECORD BOOKS

This man can hold 11 potatoes in one hand – a world record.

We wouldn’t want to hold Ed Sheeran, we don’t know where he’s been.

Ed – 0  Potato – 1

LOOKS

If you stick glasses on a potato it turns into Mr Potato Head.

If you stick glasses on Ed Sheeran he turns into Ed Sheeran in glasses.

Ed – 0  Potato – 1

SCIENCE

You can produce electricity from a potato by making a potato battery.

If you connect Ed Sheeran to an electricity source you’ll end up with Ed with slightly bigger hair and another lawsuit.

Ed – 0  Potato – 1

Total:  Ed – 1  Potato – 6

You heard it here first: a potato is officially better than Ed Sheeran. Check back next week to find out which pop star will be going head to head with a vegetable.

    Congratulations to whoever wrote this, I now regard this website as a complete joke and am removing myself from your mailing list. Not only is this ‘article’ pathetic and really not funny, but it’s also offensive and makes your website look very immature and really rather pointless. My advice would be to actually produce a decent set of reviews and articles on your website, rather than making failed attempts at degrading the most talented singer-songwriter out there at the moment. Besides, as Ed Sheeran now has 4 Brit nominations, I think it’s clear to see who gets the last laugh here.

      Well said.

    • CaitlinC197

      You Took The Words Straight Out Of My Mouth ! :)

  • Char&Georgie

    Ed Sheeran is a BABE. He does not look like a potato at all, His ginger hair is FIT and potatoes smell. Ed wins.

  • HannahSheerannnnn.

    Right, Im going to rewrite this for you..
    Looks- Potato,they are really quite ugly and are muddy. Ed Sheeran,bright hair and gorgeous blue eyes. Ed-1 Potato-0
    Economics- Potato, a potato costs about 21p,however, this only will feed you once,plus there are not toppings included.. Ed Sheeran, album is currently £6.99 however, his music is beautiful and will keep you entertained for hours.
    Ed-1 Potato-0
    Legacy- Well,I agree with you here so…
    Ed-1 Potato-0
    Health warning-Potatoes, are full of starch and carbs which can make you fat.. Ed, makes beautiful music that could be sad but not enough to make you suicidal…
    Ed-1 Potato-0
    Enviroment- Potato, you could stick in the ground but then you would need water and soil… Ed, Not sure why you’d leave him outside but he would probably write another amazing album whilst being out there if you did
    Ed-1 Potato-0
    Records- A man can hold 11 potatoes, well this isnt really anything to do with the potatoes,its about the man himself.. Ed,well, we probably wont have to wait much longer till he gets a record..
    Ed-0 Potato-0
    Science- Potato- You can make electricity out of it, enough to make a clock. woo. Ed,He could run on a treadmill and make a light work.
    Ed-1 Potato-0

    Ed-6 Potato-0
    So yeah. Ed is better. End Of :)

  • Katiee (:

    Ed Sheeran is FIT! He has got some where in life and your sat behind a computer screen writing S**t on a website about him? Wow, what an interesting life you have.

  • Obur

    • Tychelle61

      because you probably couldn’t understand them…

  • Music appreciator

    What an eloquent and honest article. Congratulations.

  • Caseymapston

    omg ed is so better than a patato and dont diss gingers they are awsome xxxxx

    • I <3 Ed Sheeran

      Haha Thanks!!! Gingers are awesome :)

  • alicialovesed

    Right, Where shall I start? you have made a complete fool of yourself by even suggesting that a potato is better than THE Ed Sheeran?
    1. Ed Sheeran doesn’t resemble a potato in any way, shape, or form. Instead he has shown  the music industry that you don’t have to be good looking to become famous, his personality is beautiful and that is all that matters.
    2. THEY ARE POTATOES? of course they are going to be cheaper than a perfect album which has taken years of Ed’s life to finally but together and you’re suggesting it is a rip of? Most albums are much higher priced that that.
    3. Finally, we come to an agreement.
    4. If you left Ed Sheeran in a sunny place for a while you’d have pages full of personal and beautiful lyrics, and a couple of tunes on the guitar, not a tomato.
    5. That’s about a man, not actual potatoes…and Ed with glasses is ADORABLE. 
    6. A potato can’t make a meaningful album full of songs which connect to peoples hearts.

    So overall, A potato will never ever ever ever ever be better than a potato,
    Thank You:)
