13024102, I owe John Legend an apology
Posted by imcvspl, Thu May-19-16 09:02 PM
Not that I ever criticized him personally, I just think his whole career in music is a giant pile of shit. But now that I see what he's investing the money he's made from that pile of shit in, you know what, it's all worth it. Underground alone is worth the price of admission. That Dick Gregory play is just icing. I hope he continues making soft ass poppy bullshit for white sorrors to get their mandigo fantasies off on so long as he keeps putting their daddy's money behind projects like these.

13024103, I still think he's gay. Even tho I know his manager and bodyguard.

They've always told me he was straight.
But still don't change the fact he sound like a Off Broadway barber quartet singer.

13024104, then you should probably apologize too

13024109, There is nothing wrong with him being homosexual.

But I still think his music is trash besides a few tracks:
Again
Another Again
Take Me Away
13024111, No there's just something wrong with u still giving a fuck
Posted by imcvspl, Thu May-19-16 09:21 PM
especially considering you've been told otherwise by folk that know better than you.

13024113, They told me he wasn't gay, not that his music ain't shitty.

I still stand by that and haven't been corrected.

I'm not in that scene no more and ain't seen dude in a decade so out of site out of mind.

I'm sure he's checking for my most recent journal review like I'm checking for his latest album.

It's crazy how he blew up tho.
He caught that wave and rode it just like Aloe Blacc.
13024117, Again can be devastating, and I love the composition

I've never loved an album from him but I usually like a few songs per album. "Green Light" was fun partially because it was John Legend being fun.

And I think he has a great voice.

But I've never liked his debut album and have always been surprised (though I probably shouldn't be) that he's like the black Michael Bublé.

I'm like you. I like a couple of tracks from him, here and there.

But these 2 are top notch.

So High...Wife walked down the aisle on that one.
13024542, That's a WEDDING SONG thru and thru. He knew when he wrote it

Beautiful cut to walk down the aisle to

Buut "real" singers despise "wedding" singers for some reason.

His voice just sound so fake and extra to me.
Like he singing the Love Boat intro song all the time

Very 70s game showish
13024212, lol

I have a couple of his albums. Decent stuff, and usually a few standout tracks.
