The other worst thing about it being lazy and terrible is that he probably thinks it's great. And you can't really blame him, since it sells and wins awards and shit.

No one really says that anymore, especially his immediate peers (Maroon 5, the guy from Maroon 5, Generic Rapper feat. the guy from Maroon 5, Coldplay)
