While I can't stand him (sorry Ed), I'll wait and listen to the song first. The composition, music and lyrics *might* make it all better.
Can't they have chosen someone other than the flavour of the month? He's overrated, in my opinion.

I really hate Ed Sheeran's brand of acoustic pop. It plays a lot at my work and his sort of mushy lyrics really annoy me (although there are some darker undertones here and there). I'll give him a chance to surprise me with this song though.

... some sort of NDA fell with the fan-event.
I did not even know him, though recognized some music when I youtubed him.
Certainly has the talent to do what Neil Finn did for AUJ so nicely.

His moody vocals make me feel like we'll be getting another song in the vein of "Gollum's Song".

Since Sheeran has very popular (In the UK at least) the last couple of years I wonder if we might get an actual music video to accompany the song this time round?

I haven't heard any of Sheeran's stuff, so I don't have much to say either way. But it's great to know! I'll be sure to listen to his music to get a good feel for his work.
Looking forward to this tonight, if the source is legitimate.

and I can`t help thinking it was one of the main reasons why they choose him too 
Wouldn`t have guessed it in a million years that Ed Sheeran would do a song for The Hobbit!

And the song. We heard ( sorry, didn’t get his name) whoever wrote the song to be played during the ending credits – he sang it. It’s a lovely, moving ballad, and even without having seen the film, I was really moved to tears. I think it’s called I See Fire, or maybe Smoke and Fire, anyway ” I see fire” is the refrain. There’s a beautiful line in it, “keep watching over Thorin’s sons.” ( Thorin has sons?) , and another, ” If we die tonight, we die together.” Source: http://armitageagonistes.wordpress.com/...bit-fan-event-recap/

I'm a little disappointed I admit. I was hoping for someone else. But Ed Sheeran doesn't seem too bad. Unfortunately I haven't heard any of his music.

I don't know the guy but I'm sure it will be nice. I didn't think I might like some of the other and ended up loving them.

Not knowing anything of him I can't say. I thought Annie Lenox was an odd choice. Hope its on iTunes tonight.

I'll be singing that one forever and crying. Cried through the whole thing - but as one friend said, "You do that anyway!"
There was no applause in Wellington when it finished; the audience sat quietly because everyone was simply mesmerised. Then Peter came on the screen immediately - and you don't want to drown out Peter. 
You'll all hear it soon enough, it seems, and I'm glad for that. Enjoy!

I hadn't heard of him at all but I'm pleased to find that he has done some traditional ballads - even though he puts his own spin (and a bit modern one, at that) on them. Listening to Wayfaring Stranger, I was reminded of Jack White singing that song for the Cold Mountain soundtrack and I admire what Jack does with music. I kind of like Ed doing his own thing, as well.
I'm so glad to hear you liked it ... nay, loved it, it seems. I'm quite looking forward to hearing it.
I'm kind of anxiously checking Twitter for some sign from WaterTower that it (or a sample) is available for listening. However, my bedtime looms. :-)

to it via pre-ordering the special edition OST on iTunes and I have to say the song is pretty impressive. Really like this one even more than the one from AUJ.
