now THIS IS modern genius-take it slow take it slow

maybe we should take it slow

this time...we'll take it slow

Beautiful song! The whole CD is great-love John Legend.

This will be a lonely thread John gets zero love up in hea for some odd reason - some people hate anything R&B, even when it's good

I, on the other hand, will be seeing him soon & am looking forward to it Great album, & that song is awesome

U should check out his 1st cd; John Stephens. I dig that cd even more that his official Legend cd.

I am not averse to good new music, but I just don't get the John Legend hype at all. I would much rather listen to Maxwell, Van Hunt, Donnie, Rahsaan Patterson or D'Angelo if he could get his stuff together.

My father summed up Ordinary People best...he said it sounded like someone at a high school talent show. I recently saw John Legend on a television benefit concert and he just did not sound that great to me live either something was off between him and the band. Also, he definitely lacks stage presence.

I downloaded the cd and hated it. Rubbish.

Wonder why there's so many JL haters?

I like him. Glad he's around.

I didn't care for the album but I think he's very talented. I don't know why people hate on him so much especially since he's a new artist just trying to get out the gate.

Even if the media or label overhype him, that's got nothing to do with his music. Ordinary People is a classic song that has the ability to stand the test of time and we don't hear that too often in R&B. While he may have borrowed heavily for Save Room, another strong song for obvious reasons, I think he's one of the more promising artists to come around and has a real shot at longevity.
