John Legend


JOHN LEGEND
A VOICE LIKE NO OTHER
There are a few artists in my life who I can think back and remember where I was when I first heard them. When you’re so utterly moved by something that you know you’ll never be the same again. When I first heard John Legend I was browsing on YouTube when I came across one of his songs “stay with u”. First thing that came to my mind was his voice! His smooth vocals! Why haven’t I heard this song on the radio?
     I’m always so happy when the world catches on to something great. Especially when it’s authentic talent, great song writing and a unique package. I am also so relieved that John possesses the kind of passion that he does, that he’s crass and funny and that he sings  live and incredible. His success renews hope in me that the world I live in has good taste in raw talent and that we still occasionally come back to what’s simple but yet amazing.

  1. John Legend is also one of my favorite R&B artists as well. The first time I heard him was when my cousin played a song by him called "Save Room," which till this day is still a great song to me. He has an amazing voice and a great talent. His music never ceases to amaze me.

  3. John Legend is a classic! I agree with everything you said because it's all true. Everything about him is original. His voice is smooth and his vocals are just marvelous! My favorite song from him is Ordinary People. It's a song that carries on the truths, “We're just ordinary people. We don't know which way to go”. It's so true at times!

  4. John Legend is one of my favorite artists so far. His originality in his music and voice is something that you can barely find anymore. One of my favorite songs by him is either So High or Tonight. I loved his music from the start. But I wish that he was on the top 10 charts instead of some of the artists that make it on the top with meaningless songs. John Legend will always be on the top 10 for me.

  7. I like that you wrote about an artist that actually has talent. I dont even like listening to the radio anymore because most of the music is fake garbage with very little exceptions.

  8. I love John Legend, I have at least 20 songs by him in my ipod. He always writes songs that anyone can relate to. Thats why I love him. He writes meaningful thoughts as opposed to trash that rappers write about sex and drugs. John Legend is an idol of mine without a doubt.

  9. John Legend still remains one of my favorite artists of this decade. His songs are awesome and he is consist with the music he produces. He is the complete opposite of what music is today, and that is a good thing.
