Some artists I know, they would rather not see the audience or envision them. But for me, I'd rather see them. I feel like part of the reason I perform is to feel that connection. It's the reason I love it so much. John Legend artistaudienceconnection share on social
I listen to all those kinds of music, from classic soul to hip-hop to Brazilian music to, you know, jazz to indie to alternative. So whatever. I listen to all if it. Classic rock and classic pop, all of that. John Legend alternativebrazilianclassic share on social
Sometimes there's that perfect moment when the crowd, the music, the energy of the room come together in a way that brings me to tears. John Legend bringcrowdenergy Change image and share on social
I sang 'All Of Me' at the wedding. I sang 'Stay With You' from my first album. And then Stevie Wonder came up and sang 'Ribbon In the Sky.' It was impromptu... It was cool... He's always been a friend and a mentor to me. John Legend albumcoolfriend share on social

Hip hop has the urgency and rebelliousness that early rock n' roll and punk had: a level of rule-breaking and flirtation with danger. It allows you to break the rules. John Legend breakdangerearly Change image and share on social
I don't get to listen to music for fun very often; a lot of what I'm hearing is for work and isn't released yet. John Legend funhearlisten Change image and share on social
I signed with Kanye back in 2003, and at that time, 'The College Dropout' hadn't even come out, so he was still relatively unknown compared to where he is now. He wasn't a household name; people were still calling him 'Kane.' John Legend backcallcollege share on social
I don't have a real recipe with measurements for my chicken stew. I just kind of make it up as I go. I made it for the first time one Christmas when I came home from college. It's guaranteed to cure a cold. John Legend chickenchristmascold share on social
My style is pretty clean, classic, and elegant, with some elements to make it a little funkier. If you see me on a normal day, I'm usually in a T-shirt and jeans, maybe with some cool sneakers, but I'm pretty basic. John Legend basicclassicclean share on social
