This reminds me of an Elliott Smith interview where someone asks something stupid along the lines of if he wishes he sold more records, and he says, 'I just hope people like the music cause some people sell a million records, but later it's unclear if anyone liked it.' I always thought that was funny. And I don't know any John Legend but if All of Me is the song I think it is, sorry, yuck.
The Django Unchained soundtrack is pretty great so I guess I have accidentally listened to - and liked - a John Legend track. Still have no idea who this motherfucker is.
I've heard the song many times but for some reason I thought it was a U2 song lol
Yeah it was on forever and kinda sucks, can't really dance to it
And it's still the kind of song you hear once in a dentist's office waiting room when you're 13 and never get out of your head.
he's just a black kenny G. I don't think anyone actually likes his music as much as they think that everyone else doesn't hate it
This is a super white take. Say what you want about his shitty politics, Evolver, Wake up! and esp Get Lifted are fantastic albums. Classic R&B album. His newer shit is shit but don't disrespect old John. You'd get strangled having that opinion in R&B's heads presence in the mid 2000s.
He was (unintentionally) extremely funny in NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar.
I was on a bus in Thailand and one of the other tourists sung a couple of his songs a capella. He was a good singer so it sounded nice, but that's all I've heard.
