Why do people pretend John Legend isn’t trash? :jbhmm:

[GPBear]

John Legend was part of that wave of Alicia Keys and John Mayer types who still “play” an instrument to show how authentic they are, but something about them makes you think they might be soulless automatons

 

[|r|e|a|d|]

His voice is dope on hip hop tracks, tracks where its just him

 

[3rdWorld]

He has good songs, songs better than your typical new age rnb singer.

That "Love in the Future" album from 2013 is one of my favorite R&B albums ever. I damn near skip 0 tracks on it

This is 100 facts. That album is flawless. I find myself going back to it often.

His music is drier than overcooked turkey. Its actually mindblowing how he still has a name in the music industry.

 

[LezJepzin]

I've always hated this soulless , offkey, backstabbing fakkit.

 

[Cadillac]

nikka is average, I agree with u on that

 

[fukkyalifestyle]

He is talented but there are millions of people who are more talented who probably will never get a shot. You gotta ask yourself why this is? It's a big club and they aren't letting you in unless you sacrifice something to them for fame and fortune. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gay and so is his wife and they are just a power couple.

Short story. Ledisi and John Legend did a song together on the movie Selma which was a rendition of Mahalia Jackson's "Take My Hand, Precious Lord". Now instead of Ledisi and John Legend performing that onstage, Beyonce stole the performance from Ledisi. John Legend knew and even performed the song with Beyonce at the Grammys. Unfortunately, Ledisi found out at the Grammys in her seat with everyone else. So Beyonce and John Legend stole from Ledisi, stole her shine (and chance to be seen on a national stage), and embarrassed the shyt out of her on national tv. John Legend didn't even have the balls to tell Ledisi ahead of time or even fight for Ledisi to be onstage with Beyonce.

Damn Ledisi is a CLASS ACT. I would've been

 

[Stoop Kid]

I guess I'm the only one in here who likes "Save Room" and "Number One"...

 

[Mortal1]

Nah his first album and Love in the Future were dope af.

He’s got a lot of hit ballads as well.

 

[Zero]

JL makes music for people that don’t understand why we hit runs, scream, shout and ad lib on records...

Yooooo :loldenzel2:

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

That thing he does where he stresses the last syllable makes him unlistenable to me. You supposed to stress VOWEL sounds in soul music nikka

We are ordinary pe-poooooooooollllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Take it slow. Hooooooooooooooouuuuoooooooooouuuuuhhhhhhhoooohhhhhhhhh

 

[Kasgoinjail]

fukk John Legend! Maybe we should turn this into a Ledisi appreciation thread.instead.

This song got me through some rough times

 

[Black Bolt]

First two albums are/were dope, he's pretty bland otherwise
