He also nicked a song from TLC. He's at it all the time
I think the difference between the two as well is that Ed Sheeran wants to be seen as a credible singer-songwriter, where as Dua Lipa's doing the "Pop Princess" routine.

I'm not saying that she's bad at it tbf, but I think from a public perspective people are expecting less originality and overall talent from Dua Lipa versus Ed Sheeran who's credibility could be severely harmed if found guilty.

Hasn’t he already been found guilty / lost a few legal cases ?

Dua Lipa is a better 'artist' than Sheeran. His songs are quite lazy IMO. Where as her music is more original.

She’s fabulous indeed .. I can’t think of one poor song she’s done .. I think she only co- writes the songs but she’s a fabulous singer / performer and very likeable person from her interviews.

I’d say she’s the top female artist currently

I think it's the public perception that's different though.

We've got someone that's claiming to be a Singer-songwriter, has some vocal talent tbf, and can play the Guitar, some people will in the general public will be upset to find out that he may have oversold himself a little bit, if he is found guilty of course.

Where as Dua Lipa to her credit I think keeps her Music a bit more grounded, and just does what she's genuinely good at.

In the long run I agree with you that it'll make her the better artist.
