Title: John Legend vs D'Angelo
Post by: Elano on April 08, 2008, 05:18:20 AM
For me it's hard.....because D'Angelo is the best of the new generation,but i don't see a big difference between him and John Legend if we talk about the quality of their voices/writing.
Live maybe Legend is a better perfomer...D'Angelo is not a musician,"just"a singer

i like both of them..and they both have made two great albums..

theres no need to decide whos better,,but imho john legend is by far the best r&b artist out there

i wish d'angelo would make a new album though,,that would be tight

Elano couldn't be more wrong.

I have "Voodoo" right here with me. There's only one song where it doesn't say "All (other) instruments: D'Angelo".

Oh my god LOL, is this a joke?

John Legend is amazing, easily the best r&b singer there is right now,   D'Angelo on the other hand is decent but cmon this isn't even close.

I completely understand that you like John Legend. That guy is amazing and I love his albums. Both "Once Again" and "Get Lifted" are definitely up there with "Brown Sugar"! D'Angelo though has something that John Legend does not have: a timeless classic.

"Voodoo" showed me that D'Angelo is one of the greatest singers in the R&B genre to ever touch the mic. John Legend's albums don't even come close to that record!

i've never seen d'angelo play an instrument and i don't remember the credits of voodoo,that's why i've said he's just a singer

in the brown sugar's booklet there's a pic of him with a piano and on the voodoo's booklet with the percussions,but honestly i've never seen him live and i don't know if he got skills (like john legend) as musician.
john legend seems on another level

Are you saying that if an artist doesn't play an instrument on stage, he can't be a good musician? If that is what you're saying, you're a dumbass. I don't need to explain that, do I?

I don't know if D'Angelo plays instruments on stage or not and I don't care either, but I'm sure he plays more instruments than most artists you know (including producers and John Legend).

D'angelo by a long stretch for me. John Legend aint even coming close. I mean their music is somewhat different to a certain extent, so its hard to make the comparison..

but brown sugar and Voodoo are straight playthroughs for me. classics. i cant say that for Get Lifted or Once Again.
