[TheAuroragoddess]

♥

[solelve]

omg JL givng my goosebumps......he sings with so much soul no lie

[carolineofborneo]

John Legend is so cute and have an amazing voice.....I am in love ;-)

[sonofsilence]

Great version. I've added it to my Covers page on FB called "The Guilty Pleasure of the Cover Version"

[primeoffense]

This is a nice version. I'll probably get bashed for saying it, but I'll still take Chris Cornell's version over everything but the original. And even with that said, nobody ever has, or ever WILL sing this song better than Bob Marley.

[MrAgadir69]

any one will sing this song he will be a legend

[ilovehiphop1987]

i think its even better than bob marleys version

he sings it with more passion,or his voice translates it better!!

[cambodasia]

It not means that this one is awfull

[cambodasia]

I prefere the one with Lauryn Hill and Ziggy Marley

[melomanMELODY]

lol

[MusicNjunkDesign]

Love the harmonies

[89Amst]

GREAT job! but the original from Bob is still better

[janiecel]

He did this amazingly. His voice is just packed full of the soul that this song needs if it will be sung by anyone.

[FruitBatties]

JOHN LEGEND DID A PRETTY GOOD DAMN JOB IF you ask me just sayin

[beyluv2]

Why are all the comments about Rihanna? John Legend did a great job.

[AdamLC1109]

well i think emerald got this one you always sound great mr legend

[originalsnake32]

THIS GUY IZ A FRICKEN BEAST!!!!!!!!!! XOOOOOOOOO

[vislandbaby]

Rihanna killed the song. She did a terrible job. No heart at all. Nobody can out do Bob Marley, but John Legend did a great job.

[speciakl758]

why the poop are you guys even mentioning rihanna, legend is one of the best/purest r&b artists....ever. And nobody can replace or out do bob marley but john does ths cover justice.

[PortugalRonaldoFan]

Stop hating

Rihanna loves Bob Marley & Did a wonderful job singin it

[P8Dealer]

Bob Marley in gay...

[j69confessional]

@P8Dealer

Yes he was. He was gay on life. Happiness and peace meant the world to him.

PS Open your ignorant eyes to a new world and stop hating.

[P8Dealer]

@j69confessional : Mr Legend is still alive.

[zimonslot]

Although John has a great voice, I think he truly has no clue what this song is about, or what Bob Marley was about, listening to this.

[goodbiemylover]

enough with the rihanna comments...

this is john legends video

[marleyhill28]

lauryn hill and ziggy did the best cover live

[toniasfour]

no Alicia Keys did best cover!

[oniedaman2]

<3 this version....<3 John Legend....

[makaveli36]

"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery..none but ourselves can free our mind." Taken from a speech made by Marcus Garvey in 1937. Rastafarians believed that Garvey was a prophet.

[Black7526]

Johnny is a beast...backgrounds are exquisite....shariff is too much on that guitar...Bob Marley is a Legend!!!!!!!!

[annanueta]

i like amparanoia´s cover better, but still, good job!

[WalkerBoy92]

jonh legend is so amazing and his music moves people

[snagillim]

he looks like he's full of himself a bit. kind of obnoxious. who names themselves legend? didnt like it.

[yeolstrat]

@snagillim It was a nickname given to him by friends and I guess it just stuck.

[zoobalac]

@snagillim What?

[gevento1]

This is the greatest song ever wrote up until this time no man shall stop the time bob marley the world greatest. sometime its doesnt even matter how you sing it just that word redemtion and the meaning behind it. wow

[youthman7]

Nice version Mr Legend!!!! well done my youth

[TheDimitrovski]

Every cover of this song made from the heart is a good cover,no matter is John Legend, Rihanna or Lauryn Hill.The spirit of Bob Marley lives on

[SandoTrini]

So many artists REDEEMED this song.

[SandoTrini]

My 2 favourite artists singing the same song...

[molesticles]

Legend by name, Legend by nature................ Corny!!(ashamed face)

[rbx22]

did that hawaian retarded money hungry riah bitch sung or better say dirt this song ?? please tell me she didnt .. redemption for this song

[demk1978]

Time is wasted listening to covers of masterpieces. Go back to the source, to get the full song with all of the soul and non of the pretence.

(Though Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt must be excluded from that stement - that man found his own feelings in the song. John Legend only feels the money and the attention.)

[DkEyZtHaPoEt]

@demk1978 sorry if this offends you, but john legend is definitely a soul singer. He could care less of the money he will get paid. Dont believe me ? do your research on why he did this and you will find the the money he raised in performing/recording this song went directly to a help, relief and support charity in nine mile Jamaica, and southern Africa. John legend is definitely a humanitarian and Bob Marley was one of his biggest Idols and hero's

[pureskill75]

in all fairness this version is weak, stevie wonder did a better job!!!

[freekboy]

two words... Cash Strummer

[Marjiii333]

He is a singer who really has control over their voice. It's an insane thing to accomplish in your lifetime. Go John <3

[TheStrongblackman]

Altho this was an exelent rendition of the song, nothing can compare to the origional

[idid0urmama]

where can i download this ?

[taleofrevenge]

his version is way better than rihanna's

[TLNoir]

John Legend didn't try to hard with this, he just let his soul sing for him. Best cover version thus far.

[emeraldream7]

@TLNoir You better look up for Stevie Wonder's rendition of this inspiring song. It's a masterclass! Cassandra Wilson also did a great job on this piece. John Legend is preety good though...

[siniholani]

my favourite version yet..besides the Legend himself... John Legend kept the soul in his version where most people who perform it nowadayz..have lost the true meaning of Redemption...One Love

[Joiwashere]

WHATEVER! this version is GREAT!

[MsDalexis]

wonderful i love his version

[JustinFlournoy2008]

28TYC How could you say that hear the mans Voice He is giving it his soul. He never sings for his ego

[ohbob789]

Stevie Wonders version from 1982 sums it all up! This guy is motivated by ego and Stevie by Love...

[28Tyc]

this guy's all shit.. sings in vanity bro.. shoudln't be singing a song of such purity.. good try though my bro..

[HAVA613]

Rihanna didnt do this song justice, at all. Listen to Lauryn Hill. Dont just sing it, to sing it, sing it from ur heart n soul. Or go back to the original singer, Mr Bob Marley, himself, a legend, n take notes.

[BrutusDA]

I agree with you. i didnt like the way rihanna sung it at all. it could've been cuz she didnt have heart or. . .cuz shes not a good singer to begin with. . .

[allenjr16]

@BrutusDA she released it for two days on itunes just to raise money for haiti tho. so regardless of how she did, she was paying her respects while helping the world. exactly what bob marley was singing it for.

[BrutusDA]

@allenjr16 Bob Marley doesnt have the most beautiful Voice in the world but when you hear him sing this song you can hear the pain in his voice. thats what makes the song so special and for someone to sing it without that same emotion (Rihanna) its like a slap in the face.

[TheKidReticence]

@BrutusDA she can actually sing but i think it's the thing about heart. bob marley put himself into all his songs, i guess rihanna couldn't match that

[Punkinnn]

TRUE!! I LOVE John, but this version is weak.

[reziboy100]

@HAVA613 I disagree. I think Rihanna sang it with plenty of emotion.

[PortugalRonaldoFan]

@HAVA613 U should listen again, she did sing it with emotion.. she did sing beautiful

FYI >>> Rihanna has a entire room dedicated 2 Bob Marley.

[Jojoloveup]

@PortugalRonaldoFan ( how do you know that???)

[PortugalRonaldoFan]

@Jojoloveup Because she said it in an interview

[allday4sure]

@HAVA613 I agree 100 per cent

[esbramakopf]

@HAVA613 i agree exept with the lauryn hill part, how she sings is to complicated and everything while bob marley didnt do anything facy he was just singing and somehow... its just one of the most amazing things!

[DavidKinner]

@HAVA613 Chris Cornell did this song amazing acoustic!

[mywoodinbush1015]

@HAVA613 this is john legend..

[HAVA613]

This song goes must deeper than u think. Until u been through the struggle MY PEOPLE went through n still going through. Then u will not get the significant of this song. Now, dont get me wrong, I accept all races,but it just feel strange when a white person sings it. And not everyone can sing this particular song.

[TheMphoza]

osam song

[TurazELEX]

Amazing....

[Alaszander]

Soulful!! Love the harmony!!!

[Muthaphuckka]

I haven't heard Rihannas version yet, I'm afriad it'll destroy the song for me. Is it bad?

[Hersheyhug28]

listen to melanie fiona's version too! its really good...I couldnt handle rihanna's version after I listened to hers.

[dman747707]

A million times better than Rihanna's version.

[crazyangelstar]

i think he was singing a bit faster than the music.

[cuminmymouthplease]

im a lefty guitar player :)

[oxvalentineox]

Starbucks, yeah. Why wouldn't they just put Bob Marley's original on it?

[kelkelliekel]

i got it at starbucks too haha

[weegel21]

WOW!!

[bojanfootball]

This is amazing, but Bob's is perfect

[rickard93d]

Joe Strummer Redemtion song is the best version of this song!

[Philko93]

I am a big Bob Marley fan, so actually I dont like covers....

But this so... WOW 5/5

[alejandrobeezy]

this song came on a cd i got at starbucks

[Lacdeane]

Well Done as always.

[bobuka]

left handed guitarist and good song =)

[ninolimit02]

Absolutely amazing. He stood within 3 feet of me in the audience at his Dallas show and sang this song. As beautiful as it sounds here, it's even better live!

[alejandrobeezy]

lucky!! haha

[poneddp]

wow his style complements this song well, most cover i hear are just people trying to be like Bob.

[2browndogs]

He was standing right beside me in kansas city when he opened with this. One of the most beautiful version of ANY song I have heard done and because John has the most beautiful smoothest voice and done so effortlessly. So incredibly beautiful live and so worth seeing Legend in concert.

[nessy17142]

Bob Lives his message more apparent everyday

[1tavybaby1]

Is he not one of the best singers ever1

Flawless, effortless, Awesome

[sucigunawan]

I heard he sang this song live, and it made me cry!

[SmokinJizzoe]

BIG LOVE TO JOHN, BOB AND FREEDOM

[CML0]

(L)

[lilshay546]

if bob heard this, he would probably shed a tear of joy and peace.

r.i.p.

[jourdel11]

yes this is AWESOME LIVE!!! OMG

[mfrekerara]

Mad Respect

[ClaydanShow]

Amazing. Just Amazing. His voice opens doors, it makes you think.

[winglesslove]

i wish this was on itunes

[nickcut1993]

nothing beats bob but this is good

[brownsuga0323]

He sings this song better live!

[peachyattitude]

pure enjoyment

[KGritty]

I saw him in Columbia Maryland on the 17th.Where was he on the 18th? he opened up w/ this also.Such a great song.

[123kmhunt]

I Love John Legend! He used this song to open the concert I saw on July 18th and it was beautiful! Just like he is! I got to meet him and take pics and everything!!! :)

[cozypublishing]

dis is good

[Omar5674]

John is Legend.

[Koopatroopa01]

We forward in this generation

[SnickerdoodleToo]

I Loooove this song!

[weedman6926]

Legend is the shit

[1niloc3]

i don't like to hear the over americanization of a song especially when it is a Bob Marley's. it takes away from the roots of the song i think. then again i could just be biased and say no one can sing Uncle Bob's songs better than him lol. love John Legend's music though.

[jkl0031]

The only version I heard of this song I liked that wasn't Bob was a duet with Hill and Ziggy.

Legend has a great voice but it doesn't fit this song at all. Most people can't do this song.

[1niloc3]

I think Hill and Ziggy were performing in a Marley tribute, i could be wrong. but yes, their version was what i called sweet!!!

[edensda]

Stfu and just enjoy the song

we always want to compare talents , music and style will always vary on the artist

[1niloc3]

why is this showing upside down?

[trinitallis]

april fools

[1niloc3]

lol.

[malcolm1414]

LOL GOOD 1

[mrarafat]

Don't like it....

[sorell92]

u gotta love this song legend does it great but bob is still the greatest

[chozen1gd]

Amazingly beautiful song..Mr Legend did it justice!

[lady0joan]

that's cool but doesn't beat lauryn hill and ziggy's version ou the bob original. MOVIIING!!

how long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?

peaceeee

[brelynn02]

I'm in love now.

[mrman333777]

i cant even find the words to say how amazingly beautiful this cover is. this is one of my favorite songs by bob and the lyrics are so moving, and i LOVE the touch that john legend added.

[kaylabadayla]

i lovvvvvve this. doesnt beat bob's though.

[bmsbeast12]

[thefiremancoming]
