 Legend is not quite deserving of comparison to Marvin Gaye February 6, 2007
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
Like so many, RB artist of today, Legend, fails only in his selection of material to perform. He is a talented singer. However, an absence of beautiful and memorable melodies and lyrics that shake the emotional core of the listener wastes his talent. br /br /In "Heaven" for example, his melody lacks depth and the majority of the song becomes a repeat of a worn out hook... "Heaven only knows... yeah, yeah... oooh oooh." While the body of the lyrics contain less than gems like: "We can lose control, baby don't you know". br /br /Compare this to Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?"br /"Mother, motherbr /There's too many of you cryingbr /Brother, brother, brotherbr /There's far too many of you dying"br /br /Many artists, opt for writing their own material for the financial incentive, for example Mariah Carey, in writing her own material she has sacrificed an overall beauty in the art in favor of spotlighting her vocal skill. I hope that Legend's management is providing him with the quality song writers he needs to promote him to great heights. br /br /Yahoo is previewing Legend's performance videos and is comparing him to Marvin Gaye. This is premature and in a significant way diminishes Gaye's musical legacy. Legend definitely possesses the physical skills to reach great heights, but he has not yet demonstrated the type of musical savvy that places him in this elite catagorybr /br /In an interview he says that he likes music that is timeless. In order to achieve this Legend may need to employ professional writers.
 John Legend is AMAZING! January 19, 2007
He has the ability to fuse so many different styles together and the outcomes are modern day classics.

was dissappointed that an album this highly regarded contained as much graphic language as it did. I'll skip the moralizing on what depths society has reached to, (scratch that, I think I just did) but I'm shocked an award winning album can be this crass
