John Legend isn't one of those people who sound great in the studio, but when they get on the stage it sounds like garbage. He sings fantastic all the time. #gifted
What an amazing show here! It's great to know that musicians are still rocking stages like this. My name is Prohaize & I am an upcoming musician from the United States & I'd appreciate it if you guys checked out and commented my performance where I just opened up for LUDACRIS. It's on my channel & here's also the link to go to it.
Some of you will probably call me crazy...But I love both John Legend and Elton John. And as I listen to John Legend more and more, I'm starting to hear a slight influence of Elton. Mainly with his loud/high notes. He compensates in the same way Elton does. But I could just be hearing things.
Guitar players need to learn that a SOLO IS A SOLO. NOT TO BE PLAYED DURING A CHORUS, OR BRIDGE OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE SONG THAT HAS SINGING. THAT'S JUST TOO MUCH. THE GUY'S GOOD BUT COME ON. GIVE IT A DAMN BREAK. I'M A GUITAR PLAYER AND LOVE TEARING SOLOS, BUT I KNOW WHEN TO STOP THE SOLO AND GO BACK TO PLAYING TINY LITTLE TINGS. THAT GUY HAS NO CONCEPT OF SHUTTING UP. lmfao
@BrettRibble you've obviously never been in a serious band, i too am a guitarist been playing for 11+ years nd gigging for 8 they've obviously rehearsed that song a lot and the guitarist is doing what he's supposed to be doing! otherwise he'd stop you dont just show up and solo at random it's rehearsed so that every1 play's in sync and forms a solid song otherwise everyone would do it and the song would turn into a load of noise everyone has their part to play he's just doing his bit thats all!
This is brilliant, but why is he wearing a wifebeater? It seems like he should wear clothes that match his reputation/music. He's a very classy guy, and the wifebeater just doesn't seem to fit him...
@MusicFan2013 He usually starts the concert very well dressed, and he is getting progressevely undressed during the concert, this song was probably by the end hahaha
He's wearing a wifebeater because he got hot in the blazer he wore earlier in the show. Class isn't in the clothes---it comes from within. It was the end of the show, he was tired and still giving all he had---and this performance is orgasmic. It does feel like heaven.
It aint that serious if yall really look at it. It don't matter how he sounds. He famous. So the opinions doesn't matter. I like his voice myself. I like the hoarseness.
Baby since the day you came into my life You made me realize that we were born to fly You showed me everyday new possibilities You proved my fantasies of love could really be Let's go to a place only lovers go To a spot that we've never known To the top of the clouds we're floating away yeah Ooh this feels so crazy Oh this love is blazing Baby we're so high Walking on cloud 9
John Legend is going to be truly a LEGEND. I love this song soooooo much that when i ask this girl out that i truly like...this song is going to be the song i will be playing. I am sure she will understand how much i care for her through the lyrics of this song.
I love this song. I reunited with a special person from my past at a class reunion and he makes my heart smile each and every day. Love is in the air and I'm really feeling you.."Sexy K" in Sanford FL.
John is awesome!Didn't know he existed until last night watching the Pres. pre inauguration.I have since then been listening to anything he sings that I can get my hands on.He has a unique voice and one from the moment I heard I wanted to hear over and over again.Beautiful voice,articulate speaking & oozes sex appeal all over the place and still comes off like a class act.I'm already looking into when he will be coming to NY.Wont be my husband's cup of tea,but I'm dragging his butt along anyway!
This song reminds me of my ex girlfriend. I fell in love with her at his concert in charlotte in 2005 on his get lifted tour. So high was our song. I really miss her but i think it might be too late for us to be
Whether you feel he's a phony or not, you have to admire the man's talent. I think he' amazing, and if they are soppy love song, well im in love with soppy love songs!
yeah, i agree with you. by the end of the song i was thinking, "gosh, poor guy, he probably just wants to sleep for a whole day after this" haha. still does an excellent job, but yeah, you can tell it's the end of a concert and the man's just tired.
I am absolutely in love with john legend! He is so wonderful, and his voice is amazing! How talented he is on the piano as well! I'm pretty sure I want to marry him! Way to go John!
yagfob: are you retarded? in ordinary people he sang the Bb below C5...you know...high C for male opera singers, and he can sing a little higher still in full voice. many men actually struggle with the ability to flip seamlessly in and out of falsetto...so you need to go study music and listen to his music again before you try to critique it.
wow...i don't know what to say after a response that was backed by so much musical evidence. i mean if i didn't know better it would almost seem like you were talking out of your ass. this may be a shocker to someone who i'm sure has never trained or sung professionally a day in their life, but after months of touring there's this thing called vocal fatigue.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
um, well michael jackson never had vocal fatigue, usher never has vocal fatigue, neyo never has vocal fatigue but john legend does. now, maybe his vocal coach sucks or maybe he justs cant hold those notes
haha another well supported reply huh? well actually yes they do...are you naive enough to think that the majority of pop singers today don't use pro tools live? it does wonders to the voice. now...i'm talking about usher and neyo, but i'm not trying to compare john legend to michael jackson...he was just a beast all around, although there WERE places in his live performances where he would use prerecorded tracks of himself because of his dancing.

No...I'm actually a classically/jazz/and r&b trained singer (as in...I actually study it at an academic, theoretical, and professional level) who does get paid to sing.
