Biography

John Roger Stephens (born December 28, 1978), better known by his stage name John Legend, is an American singer-songwriter and actor. He has won nine Grammy Awards, and in 2007, Legend received the special Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

 

Prior to the release of his debut album, Legend's career gained momentum through a series of successful collaborations with multiple established artists.

He lent his voice to Magnetic Man's "Getting Nowhere," Kanye West's "All of the Lights", on Slum Village's "Selfish" and Dilated Peoples' "This Way". Other artists included Jay-Z's "Encore", and he sang backing vocals on Alicia Keys' 2003 song "You Don't Know My Name", the Kanye West remix of Britney Spears' "Me Against the Music", and Fort Minor's "High Road". Legend played piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything". - Wikipedia

I will laugh with joy if this song misses out on a Grammy nomination this year!!!!
can everyone stop saying big words that I don't understand please. :drama:
Why must they always insist on playing the full 5 minute version of this borefest & cutting short many brilliant songs earlier?

 

They cut short the older songs in the Top 40 and play the newer ones in full.

Don't be so dramatic GURL.

We need to be so dramatic because it's awful. :(

All Of Me is undeniably a strong track, but maybe getting a little bit overplayed now? Just maybe? :rolleyes:

Can't really call Thinking Out Loud new still though?

can everyone stop saying big words that I don't understand please. :drama:

Our humblest condolences on the confusing vocabulary used in our deliberations over the chart.

I actually can't believe it's still top 20. It's like my Paloma chart run only this song doesn't deserve It.

Biography

Responsible for bringing the flower-power hip-hop sound of the late '80s back into the charts, Brighton duo Rizzle Kicks are one of the few successful male acts to emerge from the BRIT School that spawned the likes of Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Leona Lewis. Childhood friends Jordan "Rizzle" Stevens and Harley "Sylvester" Alexander-Sule first started making music together in 2008 on the Minor Breaches of Discipline mixtape, which saw the pair rapping over samples of tracks by Lily Allen, Gorillaz, and Arctic Monkeys. Compared to the likes of De La Soul and Dream Warriors, their laid-back production and humorous non-confrontational rhymes earned them a deal with Universal Records, and in 2011 they released their debut single, "Prophet (Better Watch It)," followed by "Down with the Trumpets," which eventually reached number eight in the U.K. charts. Following a guest appearance on X-Factor runner-up Olly Murs' chart-topping single "Heart Skips a Beat," support slots with Professor Green, the Streets, and Dizzee Rascal, and a remix of Ed Sheeran's "You Need Me, I Don't Need You," they were invited by Take That's Gary Barlow to appear in his Children in Need charity supergroup alongside the likes of N-Dubz, Wretch 32, and Ms. Dynamite. Following three MOBO nominations for Best Newcomer and U.K. Hip-Hop/Grime Act and Video, their debut album, Stereo Typical, was released at the end of 2011. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi / iTunes

Another Ghastly track.
Whoops, this slipped a bit at the weekend! Was kinda expecting it to hang onto the top 10. First time hearing the studio version of this anyway, though I heard the live version they played last week of course.
Wasn't expecting Tell Her to drop this far, it's actually growing on me a lot, very uplifting.

Oops at Rizzle Kicks missing the top 10. They're insanely annoying and the song is a bit naff, so not particularly bothered.

 

Oh and if you want a laugh, check out their 'Fancy' live lounge - what a car crash! :lol:

Oh this is the track they randomly played last week during the chart for no apparent reason, I sense that radio 1 are big Rizzle Kicks fans. :P

 

I actually quite like 'Tell Her', it's quite fun like most of their previous efforts. Not quite as good as 'Down With the Trumpets', 'Mama Do the Hump' or 'Skip to the Good Bit', though.

 

Props to them also for making the single cover my fave sweets :kink:

Never liked Rizzle Kicks, just comes across as 2 right muppets. Only song I like from them is Mama Do The Hump.
