Given the sped-up classic soul samples with which Kanye West has made his mark, it comes as no surprise that the producer/rapper would pick a tradition-minded R&B singer as his first big pet project. Legend first made his name on Philly's incense-clouded, '70s-obsessed neo-soul scene, then found his way to New York and became West's right-hand man in the studio. His patron's pop smarts serve Legend well--while many contemporary R&B records rely too heavily on a singer's cadence and skill to carry underdeveloped tunes, Legend and West have composed genuine songs like the perky "Number One," which has a lovestruck West jabbering that he no longer believes that "my heart don't got nothing to do with my penis." (It's way more convincing than Snoop Dogg's pledge of love on the next track, "I Can Change.") And even when the melodies are slight, West slides some nasty bass lines underneath, hinting at just enough of a hip-hop sensibility to keep the album from drifting into retro nostalgia. Yet Legend is no mere producer's plaything. His voice isn't immediately distinctive; he's neither as careworn as Anthony Hamilton nor as creamy as D'Angelo. But his gift for restraint sets him apart: the sex-as-drug metaphor of the title track is hardly fresh, but Legend delivers it smoothly enough to make it work, without pressing the issue. All bedroom come-ons have been used before. This late in the game, it's a matter of how well you use 'em. --Keith Harris

disillusioned but good.......2007-08-02

John Legend is a great and wonderful singer composer etc., but cursing on a CD takes away from an album, it changes the feeling you get from it. I got this on sale, and since I didn't see any warning about elicit content I didn't worry even though I saw Snoop Dog as one of the persons featured on the CD so I figured safe buy. I should have know better the people who produce these CD led you to think it is a safe buy when it is not then you get it home and you are disappointed. For those that don't care about such things it is a great CD great smooth sounds and great lyrics. I just wish I could get some art without negative hate word such as cursing, unless it serves meanful purpose in what the artist is trying to convey and not just saying it because they can. For instance if you happen to be telling a story in your song and you are angry then that maybe appropriate to have a curse word because curse words are used to convey anger. You don't use a curse word to convey how much you love some one or lust for them. You certainly won't get a kiss from me! I need to research these CDs before I buy them even if there isn't a warning on them. Before buying a CD check [..] and see if it is appropriate if you are about positive living. I would buy another John Legend CD because I think is his an artist with integrity.

Kinky Boots DVD.......2007-06-27

When shopping for the Kinky Boots Sound Track CD, Amazon popped up the movie DVD and I made the mistake of ordering that. It took a very nice vendor an several weeks (plus postage) to return the item.

I placed an order for the CD on 6/16 and am still waiting for it. It is taking a long time.

Real Music!!.......2007-06-19

If you want to listen to REAL MUSIC, not none of this hoopla that's out now, you definitely want to buy this CD. for me, john legend gives us peace in the midst of a dying musical era along with others like anthony hamilton and musiq. while his first album is pure genius, the second proves that he is capable of reaching beyond the average expectations; he goes deeper with his sound and lyrics. i appreciate his sincere love for music because it's not compromised for a hit record; he has passion for it and, if you ever get a chance to see him in concert, you'll see and feel it too. I LOVE HIM!

Definately a different sound.......2007-05-10

I enjoy the soultry voice of John Leggend. He is not my traditional R&B singer but I enjoyed the messages and catchy tunes of this album.

He's Great!!!!!!.......2006-06-05

I went to school with him and other than being extremley talented he's a sweetie too. He's always been a great singer, it's so so wonderful that he's made it, this is wonderful for him. I am truly so happy for him and all that he's done for him self!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless =0)

Totally love this album. I must confess it was very VERY pleasent surprise when I receive this item and had the DVD with the concert. There is only one thing: I live in Europe and don't think I will be able to see the DVD.... but I also haven't tried. If I'll be able, I hope to have such good result from it as from the CD.

But I must say: the CD is NOT live (as I thought it would be when I purchase it). Nevertheless..... is FABULASTIC!!

This album is very underrated!!!.......1999-04-29

When I got this album in the mail yesterday and started playing it, I loved it! Kelli is a very talented singer and I don't think that she's getting as much props as she should. Keep on singing, Kelli and congratulations on your recent marriage.

Sensational!.......1999-04-10

I have both of Kelli's albums, but this one really stands out. "I Get Lifted" has a nice beat and vocals. I thought "Wrong Road" was not going to be a good song because of Walter Hawkins, but now it's one of my favorites. "Ain't no Joy" is a tight simple song. When I heard the song with David Holister, I loved it. Keep up the good work Kelli because you are a young person telling other young people about Jesus!

Kelli is the BOMB!!!!.......1999-03-15

I think this is the best one yet! Kelli has a lot of talent. I truly beleive she let's God move through all of her songs. It has a little bit' of everything on it, songs like "I Get Lifted & "Ain't Know Joy" have a nice R&B sound and yet still gives out the message that we need to hear. And then songs like "Wait on the Lord" & "Glory,Honor&Praise" can really get you in the Spirit if you listen to the words. I really enjoy listening to Kelli, in fact, I have her CD playing in my CD-Rom!! If you don't already have it, you need to go out and buy IT!!!!

Kelli Williams-"I Get Lifted".......1999-03-01

I really appreciate the work that Kelli Williams has done on this CD. News! News! News! Kelli Williams has just recently married. Her new name is Kelli Malcolm. Her wedding was in Nashville, Tennessee. I have the honor of being in the same class as her brother-in-law. Enough of bragging...Kelli Williams has really put a lot into her work as a singer. She is a very good singer and I gave her 5 stars.

This girl has potential..........1999-02-26

Kelly has a great voice and this album is short of about one or two good songs from taking it to that other level. But this album is very good and all the songs that are written by Walter Hawkins are excellent. He still has it. Kelly can only get better from here. "Wait on the Lord" gave us indication of that. I wouldn't discourage anyone from buying this album.

efficient!.......2006-11-06

I would just like to praise the efficiency of your service, especially on its delivery. Although there is a slight misconception on the actual delivery charges when the item gets to me. There are still local charges which I thought would have been included in the initial charges I paid for since I chose the courier and particular sending service. My suggestion is, if possible, to include all the charges in the order already so when the item gets to the recipient he or she wouldn't still have to add more money before getting the product.

Don't Buy.......2006-08-05

Don't buy this dics. Its expensive and you may not be able to download it to your ipod. Check the warning in small print first.
Even if the music is great. What good is a CD you can't play on your ipod.

Awesome. All killer, no fillers........2006-02-18

Jon Legend delivers on his name. He has a voice similar to Stevie Wonder's but still has his own unique style. He has a very complex vocal range and is fun to listen to. With hip hop beats mixed with his unique singing style, you will be both singing and dancing to Jon Legend the all the way through. This album is definately worth buying.

Almost there..........2006-01-30

This album is almost there - with some ingenuity provided by Kanye and some great vocals from John, it has it's shining moments. The album seems to lose steam in the middle. I would recommend the DVD/CD version for just a few dollars more - it's cool, providing some live concert video footage and interviews. It's worth the purchase just to learn more about this prodigy talent. John Legend has the chops and the skills, I think that a little more refining and working with some producers that can help him fine-tune some lyrics and instrumentation could make his next album a 5 star. Glad he's around and looking forward to his next record, just wish he'd ask his "musical guests" to keep the lyrics clean.

This is what legends are made of.......2005-12-17

It may be a little late to be just listening to John Legend's album Get Lifted, but like they say, better late than never. And when you hear people that don't even like listening to R&B say that they like this album, that tells you something. It's damn good.

There are plenty of standouts on here, like "Used to Love U" and both versions of the title track. And "It Don't Have to Change" is a nice gospel-flavored track that has him and the Stephens Family reminiscing on how it used to be in the neighborhood. The funky "Stay With You" is also a highlight.

John also does well when he lets the music dominate. We all know how great "Ordinary People" is, but another standout is when Miri Ben-Ari lends her strings to "Live It Up". And "So High" is aptly titled because I didn't expect John to be able to do falsetto very well, but he proved me wrong.

Sometimes things can get a little corny, though. "Alright" has him steppin' up to the man that he stole his current girl from, and it really makes him seem like a poser. And as much as everyone likes "Number One", I think it's pretty okay, and it starts out with, "Now you can't say I don't love you/Just because I cheat on you." Huh? Kanye's verse doesn't help matters either. Finally, "I Can Change" sounds exactly like "Used to Love U".

Still, there are enough good songs on here to make up for those small missteps. So hurry up and check this album out if you haven't already, because Get Lifted will help you do just that.

GOOD MUSIC, BAD CD.......2005-12-02

This cd has real good music, and I would recommend it, but if you plan on ripping it to iTunes or any other media server, think again - you can't! It's 2005 peeps we don't like carrying around frisbees anymore so nice your protection on the "copyright infridgement". Don't support the companies that choose to put out products with this!
