Well that's just like, your opinion man.
My perception of it being pretentious might come from singers trying to imitate him who I've also hated, I'm not sure. It's hard to not think that someone is pretentious when they're trying to come off as something great and they only succeed in annoying the hell out of you. I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.
