Te amo John Legend

[brownbabyent]

I was a music conference in DC, what seems like YEARS ago now. During the music intermission, I got up to call my husband....until John started playing....and then singing....I turned around and sat my butt right back down. Needless to say I didn't call. I sat in awe. Suspended in the time zone you put me in. I was so impressed that I wrote down your name (which I had to ask someone for). Within a week.....it was on every station in the DMV! Love you....still. - Tia

[TheOnterrio]

[counter2pwnage]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[mikewowmike]

he should pick a good style of music to use the good voice that he does have and do something productive with it. thats just my opinion. im sure alot of people would dissagree but im allowed to my opinion just like anyone else. im just saying he could make better use of his talent

[jgl2222]

@mikewowmike what style do you prefer?

[mikewowmike]

dont gotta love it. good voice bad choice of how to use it!

[klabitati]

I love this man :*

[Terror19911]

this song makes me happy :)

[Av0cadoShake]

amazing<3

[exetripe]

he is the best ;)

[NehiMusic1]

He really is a brilliant songwriter, that's obvious and this isn't even one of my favorite songs but he just obviously stands out above the rest.

[eexecutionstylee]

I want John Legend to serenade me! So not fair.

[1mwarabu]

BrILLLLL!!

[SaphireFusion57]

Wo's better than John in live ? Absolutely anybody

[duecepure]

@SaphireFusion57 i agree... maybe the late MJ... other than that? nobody

[xdakt0rxjd]

'yea God bless you too...shit' HAHA

[zhengcano]

No, he obviously plays a wrong note in there. It's no big deal, the best musicians make mistakes often enough, and its not like it makes the performance any worse.

[TeeEye84Plus]

@zhengcano u must be perfect

[cut3Nsassy21]

i love this song

[mcknightdadaa]

Leaves me speechless

[conran11]

Absolutely brilliant!!! A true Legend!!!

[rijareimac]

that was amazing right there.

[deepoceano]

fico..... ma è caduto.....;)

[peneltube]

I feel blessed everytime I hear this song...pure love...

[maihanh15]

He's amazing!!!!

[kissrocks410]

his voice and playing is phenomenal

[yaaaaaaa05]

it almost made me cry!

[tomeklawreszuk]

awesome, this guy is one of the best songwriters ever, period!

[xxmuzicchickxx]

I can't believe he can make that tiny keyboard sound so loud and amazing. true talent. and I've heard him live, his voice is so powerful.and at the end of this when he starts doing the "take it slow" really softly i melted!

[Hiero3Q8]

even if he had a flu, he's still too amazing

[ABisopht]

hmmm... on the album version, its in the key of Bb, but here the plays it a half step lower. Maybe he had a flu, didnt wanna hit them high notes

[seanmd80]

@ABisopht-- the album, it's in the key of F, not Bb. You are right, however, this is a half step lower-- in E.

[LittlJohn]

It can be argued that is in F or Bb. But it is in the key of Bb, because in the songbook its Bb. Plus the first chord is a Bb major 9th chord

[LittlJohn]

he always changes the key to limit in live performances, its easier especially on short notice performances. They probably asked him to play at the station. He also changes a half step down or even a whole step down in live performances. Thats a hard to sing. It has a wide range going as low a F in the original key all the way up to a Bb.

[moe4psu23]

This is flawless. The beauty of live performance is that you can mess up & that's cool. We're human & we mess up by nature. But it's his song...soooooo it's flawless. lol.

[MusicalAdrian]

What note did he supposedly mess up? I've listened through a couple times now, and I've yet to hear anything that even sounds even a little off, let alone bad.

[singerboyjosh]

for bluesisafeelin thats a MOTIF ESX8

[vowarrior1]

Amazing song defo 1 of my favourites

[musictranscription]

My friend asked me to transcribe this for him

[BluesIsAFeelin]

What kind of keyboard? Anyone know?

[TheLandJames]

speechless

[ahkilein]

this is amazing.

[itsmrben2u]

OK after reading comments I noticed the chord, I think it's 2:23 just as he says "People" but lets be honest here, HE IS LEGEND BY NAME AND BY NATURE! You must have been listening for the mistake to notice it.

This song is classic! He could have a chest infection and broken fingers, he would still sing and play this song beautifully.

[vowarrior1]

yep I heard it good ear u got

[bluesoulady]

he is awesome, his voice is pure

[Firelance31]

this is awesome

[mavenpao]

and john legend was never ordinary.. haha!

[btnheazy03]

Music! Talent! Musical Talent!

[buddahboy1211]

this is the best representation for why john legend is the single best male performer on earth!

[godflowdorian]

umm jamie foxx? usher? umm r kelly/?

[x05kth09x]

john legend. no one else

[BrentRiceMusic]

Who cares if he missed a freakin' chord. Point is that this man is one of the most naturally talented people left in the industry now days. Especially since he won a grammy for writing this song. It's an amazing song regardless and he can play it however he wants to. Wether he missed a chord or not, who cares. The point is that John Legend is ridiculously talented and sounds better live then recorded. Grow up and stop fussing about stupid things.

[SoFine163]

Thank GOD there are people like you ! I was about to wright the same darn thing about our lovely man. But i'm telling you im fed up with defending, im just gonna start screwing that volume up, relax and feel his good music cruising through my body and wrapping up my soul like a fine piece of silk cloth ;) Cuz thats just how deep this mans voice and music touches my soul and 'm glad that i've found my true music genre. and if all of these youtube haters still lost then let them be, we are pure;)

[TheFlangle]

I didnt even notice he missed a cord...

[1337evan]

the radio announcer has such a great voice!!!

[stylecollective]

Lord have mercy...sometimes we have to recognize life is too short to quibble over one chord. We are all imperfect beings who won't get every endeavor 100% on the mark 100% of the time. God bless him and let him continue on his road to hold up organic music in the days of autotune.

[1337evan]

yeah I went to see him live in concert... it was awe-inspiring... Bless with a true God-given talent. He's the man. :-D

[matthouse88]

easyyyyyyy man :-P

[marcusreedus]

anybody who can sit down at a piano and do that is no ordinary person.

[Q124R]

i don't get why everyone's fighting over one mistake. JUST APPRECIATE THE MUSIC. he's still human after all.

[Anne073]

Amazing.. no words can describe the feeling I get when I see this video.!

[yaaaaaaa05]

to all who are agruing about this fuckin chord... he has mor talent in one fuckin toe than you guys will ever have togehter!

[sXMiLA]

Hey last time i fucking heard... he owns the rights to this song and can play it how ever the fuck he wants. He doesn't play a wrong note he just plays a diff octave and a step up... so stfu cuz he obv at this point more accredited than you as musicians.

[MusicIsMyDrug008]

@sXMiLA couldn't have said it better myself mate!

[Zapollo8]

OUTSTANDING! Brilliantly talented you are!

[rogerladon]

christ he messed up a chord not end of the world!

leave the poor guy alone you cranks hes much more talented than you lot anyway so i dont no why your criticising him, if all you can do is put negative comments against him then why are you watching his video?

[markeezy22]

braileriao, just stop posting no one cares you've been posting that he made a mistake at 2:24 for a freaking month, get a damn life. =.=

[reese1990drm1]

this is a great proformance . wateva yu people sayin on here

[fallstonfootball12]

i think i got a boner .

[vintagejoan]

oh my god I think i just died and went to john legend heaven.

[hmango1]

Just simply beautiful!!!!

[siimmppaa]

I want that mic. that sound is incredible

[vintagejoan]

i think i just fell inlove.

[anithono]

you, me, fallstonfootball guy and the world. Come on, "this time we take it slow..." sung with THAT voice? whew... who wouldnt get seduced by the soulful, husky, dulcet song? This man KNOWS Music like a lover. mm mmm. lol. sorry, but it's true!

[mitaibiru]

john the legend

[ThaTspyce]

love u john

[Andreahn1]

Incredible voice

[mnt52692]

ahhh I love john legend!!!!!!!!! :)

[robbied]

he's incredible!!

[xxbrasileiraoxx]

John Legend is a true legend

One of the few artists who can sound like this live with no computer editing

he had a lil mishap at 2:24 though

[zealotifier]

mishap?, what r u talking about.. I listened to 2:24 100 times, I don't hear any mishap.

[xxbrasileiraoxx]

haha c'mon buddy

are u even a musician or anything to be somewhat educated in this conversation??

and yes he had an error with a chord at 2:24 right between when he says "ordinary" and "people"

[Reubenguitar]

before you tell me to piss off, i am a musician.

listen to the chord he plays after the one at 2:24. the excact same one. then the same one on the next chorus. hes obviously meaning to play that chord.

and who the fuck gives a shit if it's wrong. he sounds better than you could.

so before you start critisising others, make sure your perfect first and can't be critisised in anything you do.

k ta.

[xxbrasileiraoxx]

heyyy buddy yes he plays the same chord but the first time he plays the chord at 2:24 he missed played a note...cuz chords are made up of notes in case u didnt know mr. musician

and of course hes better than me i never said anything about that... but u cant tell me just because hes your idol he cant miss one note in a live session on a radio show

your an idiot

piss off

[Reubenguitar]

did you see my type "hes my idol."?

no.

with the chord at 2:24; i've watched this over and over just to prove you wrong by the way. he plays the same chord in all the choruses. so either hes a really bad musician and can't play that chord at all or hes meaning to do that.

your the idiot. (:

[xxbrasileiraoxx]

ahhh do i have to repeat my self

he plays the chord the whole song

yes any one with a brain can tell that

but at 2:24 he misplayed or added an incorrect note

please understand that i know hes meaning to do it

but he messed that chord up

yehh im the idiot.....

for wasting my time goin back and forth with u

i bet this is the longest someone has ever talked to u haha

[Thomas9437]

Brasileira don't argue with these ignorant idiots. They're too caught up in idolizing him that they can't admit that he messed up one damn note (which i heard clearly, I personally think his finger slipped) Just ignore what their biased statements and just keep doing your thing bro. I love John Legend too but He's human too he messes up at times and he did in this vid.

[bostnredsox1918]

chill the fuck out dude i hate when people bring out the negative in everything. hes amazing and he missed a damn note goddamnnnn

[Emarsalis1]

I agree...it's his song he can mess up if he wants it happens. lol

[raystormx]

hah! I listened and heard that wrong note(s). you're right on the money!

wonderful song, but he did make one mistake. and that's all there is to it. not sayin he's bad or anything, he just flubbed a chord.

[MusicalAdrian]

@raystormx

:( People don't sing chords. Not by themselves, anyway.

[raystormx]

I didn't say he sang a chord, i said he messed up a chord, as in his finger pressed a wrong piano key. or keys.

read carefully next time.

[MusicalAdrian]

@raystormx

Nice cover ;)

[raystormx]

@MusicalAdrian

lol. It's a great song, wouldn't you agree?

[1luvbarbie]

dick head id like to see you

[raystormx]

see me what?

[raystormx]

it's pretty sad how when people point out that at 2:23 there's a wrong chord, retards act like they're dissing the entire song.

so he made a mistake, no need to be a bitch and attack me just cause I pointed it out.

hell, I'm not even the first.

[davejamesreid]

Too right. Fuck it John Legend made this song, he will play it how he wants and you will sit and listen.

[raystormx]

@davejamesreid doesn't change the fact that he messed up a chord, and he didn't mean to play it that way. just sayin'.

[paper2006]

@davejamesreid

LMAO.

[frenchexperience]

@davejamesreid how to be subservient?

[mmrryan20]
