Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some artists can have several thousand ratings)
This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 53.5/100, a mean average of 49.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 49.5/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 26.2.

He's just another "ok" artist, but the problem is that he's so overrated it hurts. Lyrics are truly awful, guitar playing is ok (at least he plays an instrument), songs are meh but the amount of praise he gets for playing open chords in basic progressions is shocking. Like people don't have eyes and ears. Still think he is infinitely better from Britney Spears, Shakira and Nicki Minaj

Very commercial/mainstream/sellout... You'd think artists would make a more concise album to have 10-12 solid songs instead of 20+ mediocre tracks. Not sure what the craze is over long albums these days. Anything over 55-60 min feels like it drags on to me... Unless you're a talented band/artist, which most are not.

An acidic presence in modern culture. Hateful, soulless, lowest common denominator music. Everything he's done since the mid-2010s onwards has become so utterly reductive that it sucks the life out of you. Songwriting that outright refuses to dare or try anything other than the most sickly, predictable, cushy bollocks.
It's astonishing that someone with such an enormous audience chooses to do absolutely nothing of note with it, despite clearly being talented at songwriting. One of the few superstar artists ever who genuinely stands for nothing. (Edited)
Insipid lyricism and cheesy pop melodies disguised in meaningful 'folk singer-songwriter' clothing. The odd bearable song from him but the majority are naff. Don't understand how he is so popular for someone who is a fairly average singer and musician.
The definition of over rated. (at least he isn't on this site!)
