I'm Really Feeling His New Track "Save Room" Anybody Else Feel The Same? I Can't Wait For His New Album To Drop Because His First One Was Dope.
-
i heard he's gay which wouldn't stop me from buying his next album because i liked the first so much. i remember them saying on tv that kanye wanted rappers to stop gay bashing because a close friend had just come out. then my brother told me he heard john legend was gay. two and two just seemed to go together with that one
-
trust me, hes bangin supermodels.

oh...lol....anyway, at the grammy afterparty, dude brought sexy model white girls....him and like 6 business white guys.....my cousin was trying to get his paparazzi on since he just got his new camera....so i rolled with him to all the places where photojournalists went, it was a fun night
-
I still listen to his album too. Can't wait for another.
-
he had a few good tracks on his last album. I liked the "So High" Cloud 9 remix alot too.
-
Haven't gotten into him. He's a talented dude, I liked his spot on Common's last album. I think I hold a grudge against him because of his name. You don't just make a play on John Lennon like that.
I haven't heard the song you're talking about though, but I'll check it when I get the chance.

Save room is the best r&b track of the year

Anybody with half a fuckin brain. It's fucking gay. Thats on some weak ass gimmick shit. Seems like you like 2pac...Well what if some dude comes out and decides his name is 3pac. Yeah he might be alright but to make a play off 2pacs name isn't right. It's just hype and they're banking off of somebody elses rep. The name "John Legend" is an obvious play off of the name "John Lennon". So while I'm sure there's people out there that are like "Oh thats so clever how he played off of John Lennon's name, I think I'll now give his music a chance".
I on the other hand react completely opposite "Oh so to draw attention to themselves they have come up with some gimmick. That must mean the music isn't good enough to carry this "artist". Fuck it then"
It's called hype, and when they do that shit, they damn well better be right, cuz if they're not I'm never gonna take them seriously. And I don't give a fuck how good John "Legend" is , he's def not gonna be John Lennon. Thats a title that would be earned, not proclaimed.
Did Kanye name this dude?
-
Damn i thought John Legend was his real name....Jrome you prick now il think about tht everytime i hear his name! lol
and....
I still listen to his album too. Can't wait for another.

I don't really see the gimmick. Do u know for a fact that it is a play off of "Lennon"?
John Legend > John Lennoni dont like those r&b singing fags, like ne-yo, mario, john legend and stuff...they soundin like some dude with their ballz cut off ::)

and @ that fool rambling john legend >>> john lennon, use a fool man, lennon did way more 4 musci then legend will ever do
So what. I don't listen to Lennon or Beatles, so I don't give a fuck. Music is all opinions, and my opinion is Legend > lennon!

so true on the opinion part.
-
John Legend's first album is one of the best albums I've ever heard in any genre in my opinion. I'm looking forward to new music from him.
-
I never actually notice the Lennon/Legend thing until now. I dont think thats such a big factor, the man makes great music, and in 20 years who'se to say he wont reach Lennon's level? hes only been in the game 3 years, as afar as his albums are concerned.
-
man, whoevers trippin about john legend sounding similar to john lennon is just trippin..
do you know for a fact that he made that name to sound like john lennon? or is it also verry possible that its just a coincidence.
my boss was actually his college roommate, and so i know whats up, and basically he got the name Legend because people just kept on telling him that he sounded like an "old legend", like someone that has been doing it for years and years, like he gives off more of an old school R&B vibe, so thats why they decided to call him john legend.
-
Isnt his real Name "John Stevens" or something like that, and he just changed the last name to LEGEND because its kinda a play on words type of thing where he wants to be a legend
-
Holy shit...A fuckin coincidence are you serious? The dude got his name cuz he sounds like a legend?!? What the fuck does a legend sound like?
LOL, think what yall want, but it's an obvious play on John Lennon's name. I'm not sayin the guy doesn't have talent, but he's got a gimmick whether yall acknowledge it or not. He's rollin with Kanye who is no doubt talented, but the guy's best songs are complete and blatant ripoffs of shit from back in the day. It's not on a sample tip, it's on a straight ripoff tip. He samples like Puff used to sample e.g. not sample, but just jack and loop.
You cats are killin me here...

Read this from VH1. They started calling him THE LEGEND first, and then John Legend.
_____________________
With John Legend's Grammy debut only days away, the R&B newcomer hopes people won't judge him solely by his last name.
"People must think, 'This guy is so arrogant to call himself "Legend," ' but I didn't start it," the singer said. "People thought I sounded old-fashioned, kind of like those guys from another era, kind of like I had an old soul sound. They started calling me 'The Legend' [and then] 'John Legend.' "
Legend says he considered the moniker a joke until it became his calling card.
"I just kind of laughed it off when I first heard it. I was like, 'Yeah, that's cute,' " said the singer born John Stephens. "But people kept calling me that, and it spread. People would introduce me as that. They'd play my records for other people and say, 'Yeah, that's John Legend.' Before I knew it, all these people knew me as John Legend, so I had to kind of decide, 'Am I going to get rid of this name?' Now it's there, and I've got to deal with it. It does put a little pressure on me, but I like pressure, so it's cool."

I was just about to post this. It was fun seeing this uneducated argument over the origin of his name.
