I have now watched two immensely talented musicians live, and come away with the feeling that they sold out to pop. Alicia Keys, and now John Legend. When I first heard Legend he struck me as the next possible Lionel Richie.
As a producer, he may still be the next Quincy Jones, but as a performer, he is now a mish-mash of reggae, R’n’B and pop. No clear sound.
Unlike James Blunt, who has no pretension about being a legend and puts on a show that is full of the romantic angst he promises in his recordings. Simply beautiful.
