John Legend proved if you make a truly incredible album and have the right people backing you, you can get recognized and win a grammy.

Usher proved if their is no real competition the year your album comes out, and you sell a lot of records, you get the grammy by default.

Don't know who else won and what, but at least this Grammy went to the right guy. Legend deserves to be recognized for his album.

 I guess to the casual r&b fan it could be incredible, but to me its a very bland and unentertaining record. If you want incredible, you gotta dig a lot deeper than non singin ass john legend. but hey, do your thing.

I dont know about "incredible," thats a pretty strong word, but a few that are definitely better than John legend are Goapele, Raheem DeVaughn, D'Angelo, Maxwell,  Erykah, Anthony Hamilton, Raph Saadiq, Prince, Adriana Evans, Leela James, etc.
Title: Re: john legend, best new artist of the year for grammys
Post by: We Fly High on February 10, 2006, 12:30:33 PM
yeah all those you mentioned are definitely good, prob all better than john legend, for the exception of goapele in my opinion, shes good, but i think john legend is better. but yeah they all dont really have material out these days. prince got a new joint, but erykah been quiet for a minute, and also d angelo. d angelo is prob my favorite artist of that genre, but hes definitely been slackin on his releases. maxwell been quiet too. anthony hamilton got joints out hes good. raheem devaughn is also one of my favorites. i guess i classify john legend in the same category as all those peeps though.

^Anthony Hamilton could possibly be the best soul singer to come around in like 10 years or so. and Anthony´s vocal range>>>>>>>>>>>John Legend´s life. but i still like John Legend coz he´s pretty talented but his voice aint really soulful and he keeps on singing about the same ol' shit.
