  • What a great person with wonderful insight! Great Interview, Josh and John!

  • I saw him speak last night at my college.

    He is a very inspiring person.

  • at 18:00 "Poor education has been part of the color line since slavery, after slaver based on property values and is a an unfortunate part of US history. We have to change that. "

    "I love talking about education and helping kids get a quality education, I love making music"

    He speaks to making being a teacher a more appealing profession for talented and top graduates. He is on Board of teach for America. Great people running great schools and great students as our future. What a concept.

  • At 14:00 he begins to speak to the realities of Charter Schools. Some are good some are not but there is a significant number doing a good job and should be looked at as models for educating. Make sense to me. If a good school is doing a great job, let's not tear them down, lets promote them. Freedom to work outside the traditional regime. ... when need radical change...

    If things have not been working for so long, need something different. Thank you John Legend.

  • Listening to john speak,and all the important things that he says inspires me to want to learn more,and do better!!!

  • i think that John Legend is a lot more educated in this topic than i anticipated and i'm happy to see that he is more than just a loud voice but he's a knowledgeable articulate voice with a valid opinion and view that i wouldn't mind hearing more of.... AND lol and i think that the interviewer is semi surprised but his multifaceted ability... yaaaay diversity

  • ok, i was shocked! i was viewing the worldview channel and saw the list of the other presidents interviews and then i saw his. i was like, what?? i love john legend but this is soooo time consuming. lol.

  • ipsum dolor lorem sum

  • BORRRRING. This might as well be his political campaigning.

  • @crazy4corbinbleux this really might as well be people responding to the need for better education for our children instead of a music video... its a shame your contributing to a statistic that our kids and some adults have just slipped through the system and become nullified and stale, non responsive to the need for change because of their inability to convey an opinion due to the lack of good education.

  • @PeanutButterzcup Hahahaha, what a load of bullcrap you just stated in your comment. Sounded more like verbal diarrhea. If we're using such "sophisticated" words here, you are what they call pretentious by every means. Get your head out of the gutter and while you're at it, remove the thesaurus because its making you look like a fool.

  • @crazy4corbinbleux

    1. I went to school and graduated at the top of my class with honors

    2. Having a good vocabulary does not make anyone pretentious on the contrary it allows for good diction and fluid speech.

    3. I applaud you in showing your ignorance once again without any help. ^^^this is a problem that requires fixing if you feel the need to be on the defense because of my personal opinion. Ignorance by the way is not a bad thing it is simply that you don't know and need more attention.

  • @PeanutButterzcup LOL, now you're gonna go listing everything, like this is a friggen essay. 1. I really don't give a crap, I take all honors/APs, don't we all? Why don't you go brag to your granny? 2. There's a heck of a difference between somebody who is articulate and wellspoken by nature and it flows naturally, and someone who looks like a FOOL trying to sound smart. Your diction, your way of "sounding smart" (especially with your first comment to me) is PATHETIC.

  • @crazy4corbinbleux you, sir, are very sad, i pity your children and their potential upbringing with a parent who isn't concerned about their education or those who are fighting to improve it. you've only proven my initial point and i see no need to continue in this conversation. since you're more concerned with having a clever come back than acknowledging the true issue which is education and the lack there of for certain communities there will be no end to this. i hope you enjoy your day

  • @PeanutButterzcup Hahaha goodbye Dr. Seuss.

  • The moderator is horrible. He just goes over to the next question after Legend replies. What an amateur! John Legend has some great thoughts. One wouldn't assume he is an artist...

  • @DavenLouie7 i agree.

  • What a Legend.

  • John Legend= my soul twin.

  • John Legend seems high.

  • Good job Josh and LE'GOO John Legend

  • 123 ppl must hate the thought of improving education.......smfh DUMB-ASSES

  • America's shit for a balck man to get education, go to another country like australia and you first of all, get great education, great jobs(70 gran), and unversity is payed after finding a job(HECS), i came from America's public school system, and we were pretty poor 10 yrs back in the states(we were in a community full of crack and gunshots), but going to australia, my sis got into medicine at a great university(melbourne uni) and the education and life is great as well!

  • I love John legends music. I think it's amazing how he writes his own music. I missed his concert when he came to Fresno. I can't wait till he comes back

  • You contribute songs to island def jam that is a llc-limited liability corporation so they can imprint subliminals. All LLC companies have devious motives so spare the world view speach. Youtubers are gay women haters.

  • "i`ll fuck ya`ll blacks"

  • @westshideasss get a job bitch and grow some balls

  • A cd that you were on was reported to the fcc for containing subliminal programming. Then lil wayne did a year in jail and sean kingston almost died on a jet ski. Do you think what comes around goes around? I gotcha gigglin like a piglet.o.p.p.

  • john legend is sooooo gay / speaks well / but is soooo gay

  • lol white people love hating us blacks on the internet XD they just hate seeing a educated black man, it offends them haha we cant do nothing but laugh and think how immature and ignorant you are . no im not a racist either i just love to see white people hate lol

  • i reealy hope that the eye up there is not part of the illuminati....

  • I am appalled at the comments being made on such a very important social issue such as this!

    Why are people talking nonsense that has nothing to do with the interview? Anyway, this was a great interview, and I know exactly where John Legend is coming from. I wish many more people were made aware of the current educational system.

  • Check out Louisvilles Clee-Juicy Fruit

  • Big bubba lip ass nigga.. Talk about the shit I wanna know.. Like when they gonna give me mo' money on my AFDC checks.. Shiiihhhttt fuck education dat SHYT not putting food on tha table.. Slinging white rocks is ya feel me??

  • Who gives ah fuck...

  • I am totally not gay, but for John I would consider it.

    Give me the green light.

  • @ragingcain Thank you girlfriend for making comments under my name. She thinks I have a man crush because I like the way he sings, and seems like a decent guy.

  • I thought it was John Lennon

  • Who's John Legend?

  • @little123456788 try this youtube.com/watch?v=o-AbEO6J8s­0

  • hi

  • When budget cuts are forcing layoffs of teachers all over the country while some children don’t learn to read in class, for the sake of the students isn’t it time to use free TV captions? See a brief video of former President Bill Clinton, at Clinton Global Initiative, praising TV’s same language subtitles that have taught millions in India to read. See Clinton’s video come up as you open Captions for Literacy, along with a short video of a young boy learning to read and write with TV captions.

  • /watch?v=JfwY5hNL45s his nephew

  • @josiah1994 So?

  • The interviewer has one leg...

  • i love john legend <3

  • I agree Education is the main focus. I grew up in an impoverished neighborhood. Which had a huge influence on my mind frame. If it wasn't for the education that I received throughout middle school on into high school I wouldn't be the purpose driven young man that I am today. My elementary school was based in a community with a high crime rate and also a high poverty level. My middle school was in a much better area and was considered the top middle school in my city. This school changed me.

  • whoop whoop JOHN LEGEND is best

  • Love his songs and the work he do to encourage everyone that's in school from young to older

  • John Legend is one helluva man.

  • What a well-spoken, thoughtful, and caring person. We need more John Legends!

    "If you're out there, sing along with me!"

  • FUCK U JON LINGEND

  • So inspirational! I didn't know he did all these wonderful things!

  • Nice tie, Josh

  • @lindsaykeen13 I'll venture a guess at your profile: I don't think you're as smart as you think you are. You probably tend to dismiss other people's thoughts based on irrelevant issues. You are most likely between 5' 8" and 6' 4" weighing between 145lbs and 220 lbs. I would guess that you have difficulty pronouncing the word "ask". How close am I?

  • damn nigga

  • I went to a high school with a student body of about 3-4 hundred and there five people in my graduating class. That is the effect inner city education.

  • TWO OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!!!

  • This guy has no masculine features at all

  • 2:14 Why did he even laugh...dick.

  • I love all his wirk

  • Go to the page makebelieveworkshop no caps no spaces

  • get lifted like john legend and shit: GET LIFTEEEEE-EEED, GET LIFTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDD

  • Wow this is so Fake and Gay

  • Thank you for your thoughtful responses Mr. Legend. As someone that runs an after-school program at an under-resourced school, I hear the ideas you have for creating change and you are so on point. I wish there were more who understand the steps it will take to break the cycle of poverty, close the achievement gap, and give students access to opportunities that will help them stay up and stay on a college pathway. Thank you for your words!

  • lost interest as soon as he said "we're going to be talking about education today"

  • i recently took a class at my university about education in america and john really knows what he's talking about.

  • I don't understand some peoples crudeness. Josh and John both deserve the recognition from who ever sends it. Kudos to you both!

  • I'm horrified by the level of total crap people have posted. Don't watch a video and then comment just so you can cuss other people out; It's immature. Josh you're amazing by the way! :)

  • Wow, so many of the comments are ignorant and unproductive and should be deleted from the comment list. Thank you John Legend for caring about a vital social issue. Josh, you tried really hard, you are not the greatest interviewer.

  • Comment removed

  • Such a well-spoken artist and advocate. Thanks for the interview; so many new ideas to be explored and pushed.

  • To be honest, I totally forgot about John Legend. Cool guy, but why the random big interview? Did he do something recently to draw this interest..?

  • @The6thHokage100 I'm the same person :)

  • John Legend is a very well educated man you can tell he cares for the future as in the young generation..

  • wow, comments so hateful for a video so positive... why cant people ever just focus on the important things?

  • @olive1234567899 Just google CHARTER SCHOOL SEGREGATION and find for yourself

  • I fucked that guy's stub.

  • Okbkjb

  • 9 time Grammy winner? For what? Name 2 songs. Just shows how lame the Grammy's are. John "Legend"......gee what humble guy. The interviewer is a tool too.

  • @hempe3333 Your mad.

  • @LPSGamerGirl You're *

  • @hempe3333 actually the interviewer made a whole video about not being a tool.

  • What happens when you die? Have you told lies, stolen, used God's name in vain(10 Commandments)? If yes, then you're a liar, thief, and a blasphemer in the sight of God. When you die & be judged by God, you'll be guilty of sin, & go to Hell! But God sent His Son Jesus to shed His blood & die on a cross for your sins, He was buried & rose again from the dead on the third day. If you'll believe the Gospel(Jesus's death for your sins, His burial & resurrection)you'll not perish & have eternal life

  • I want his last name.

  • Thanks to John and Josh for sharing this with us. The key really is that education not only improves the lives of individuals and families, but that it improves whole communities and in the end entire countries. There is no better way for a country to invest that to invest in education if the genuine purpose is to improve both the quality of live and the economy of communities and entire countries. I am a small business owner working overseas far from my country of birth. Keep up the good work.

  • Great work!

  • FUCK U ALL WHO DISLIKE THIS GUY IS A LEGEND!!!

  • @h0lyp0ng Idiot.

  • @Pissonyourgrave You forgot becoming homeless, loosing their jobs to better educated immigrants, increasingly using and selling illegal drugs, having children out of wedlock, applying for gov. assistance...hummm...

  • @livinmostly haha yes I did, there is only so much i can write.

  • this guy looks like an older mo williams from the cavs... haha

  • I kinda like John Legend :) I have only heard a few songs from him, but he seems like a very intelligent, inspiring individual. I think it's stupid how people are arguing over race, I personally think that everyone is a victim of discrimination in one way or another...but that's just me.

  • I knew this video would feature racist comments from internet dorks

  • Bama

  • okay yeh he does

  • Does this dude have `1 leg?

  • Comment removed

  • Good job, both of you :)

  • Selamat pagi semuanya.??

  • My question was: Dear John Legend, I am an African American male who was not expected to achieve any great amount of success. Furthermore, I live in the "projects" which only makes success for me harder. But now I am in high school and have defeated the odds stacked against me. I am Head Junior marshal , and will be Valedictorian next year. Will you be guest speaker at my graduation next year?

    Sadly it didn't get answered :(

    THUMBS UP! Maybe my DREAM will come true!

    I want him to see this!

  • @WillyBillyBo No one cares about your dream except you.

  • @VelaToNorma7 shut up faggot, he gotta dream , respect it you fucker

  • @Rikishade1 Lol, okay bitch whatever you say. Yeah you and your friends, you shits can't fight one on one because you'd know you'd lose. I'd like to see what you monkeys could do against someone with MMA experience.
