I like it. The biggest imperfection about John Legend is that he's friends with Kanye West. |

| It is much preferable to Talk Dirty to Me - with lyrics that make me want to puke. Or Fancy. How many times does one need to spell Iggy in a song? |

| I also cannot stand that song. His lyrics sound like a 7th grader vying for an essay contest- the opposite cliches and the "magical mystery ride" (what, really?) and the melody is bland. BOO! Off the radio.....enough already... |

I was really sick of the original version. And then they made a remake. Yay. Really REALLY sick of that one.
My daughter likes it, so my challenge is to try to change the station before she realizes it's on. (not easy to do - she shares my ability to "name that tune" after a note or two.) |

| 23:15 - I like "Talk Dirty to me" if only because he rhymes "genius" and "penis", which makes me laugh. I'm ok with "Fancy" - we like to sing along to that one. I feel like Iggy Azalea should pay royalties to Gwen Stefani, though, for that one. |

| What's not to love about that song? Beautifully rendered, lyrics that make sense to an average person and a tube that resonates with my soul. I can listen to it over and over again |

I can't think of John Legend without thinking of this.

This is actually an interesting article about the song and some ideas about why it may be so popular right now (I don't know a lot about music theory but I do like this series of articles about popular songs).

But you can't say he never tried. (John Legend that is....) |

| It his a hideously overwrought song. Like a male Celine Deon. |

I loved the rendition of this song by this year's The Voice winner, Josh Kaufman ... His voice has got such soul, and this version was beautiful, I think much better than John Legend's:
