which is a knockoff of the Style Councils "My Ever Changing Moods." That being said, I think the song is pretty good.

I downloaded John Legends album, the one with Ordinary People. I can honestly say that the album was crap from start to finish. Not a single good cut.
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Actually John Legends complete rip-off, "Save Room" is virtually note for note musically a song by a 60's group called Classics IV named "Stormy". All JL did was put new lyrics to someone else's music.

man all of ya'll haters suck assholes...John Legend is probably one of the few true R&B soul talented artists out here that is getting the attention that he deserves...he writes his own songs, is a great vocalist, and not to mention a very good piano player....can Ne-Yo play the piano, NO...can Chris Brown write his own songs...NO, can Mario make me feel what he is singing about...HELL NO

i just think it sucks that some people just find bad in anything just cause they can. It's a waste of time, so while i'm on here, this will be my last post on this thread, I just want to give John Legend a big clapping because when the dust clears...20 years from now, people WILL remember John Legend. Thanks and have a great day.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

No offense but check out the song by the group I posted above and hear it for yourself.

You are free to continue to love JL, but the song is still a rip off of someone elses work. If he'd just done a full on cover of "Stormy" I wouldn't even have bothered to participate in this thread. lol

WOW! I just went to Amazon.com and listened. It really is the same song. I actually liked JL's song, but he really is just singing new lyrics on top of Stormy.

It's not hate. I just think that the original artist should get a littel credit for puttin' out a catchy ditty...
For that matter, I actually like the song.
