John Legend’s Passionate ‘Wonder Woman’ Video Is A Heartwarming Tribute To His Wife Chrissy Teigen

by

It has been said that “behind every strong man is a woman,” yet often times the latter doesn’t get the full credit they deserve. John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen regularly love each other out loud, but his latest video for “Wonder Woman” may be one of the most heartwarming things he has ever done for her.

In the video, the R&B veteran stands shirtless in a room and stares through a window at Teigen through weeds. In later scenes, she is shown caring for their two children poolside while Legend looks at her and smiles.

Switching between his charming tenor and captivating falsetto, Legend sings “You make me wonder, woman, how do you do it? / Some superpower, I don’t understand / You make me wonder, woman, how do you do it? / You’re superhuman, and I’m just a man.”

In a world of toxic R&B and male hedonism, this type of reverence toward one’s partner is refreshing. It can be found on John Legend’s latest LP Legend, released this past Friday. The album features Saweetie, Rick Ross, Free Nationals, Amber Mark, and more.

John Legend Brings A Dance Party To ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ With ‘All She Wanna Do’

by

John Legend is not only a true showman; he also knows the key to women’s hearts. While downtempo R&B is ideal for romantic nights, it’s upbeat music that makes them feel alive at an energetic party. Flanked by women in sequined dresses and his backup singers, the “Green Light” artist performed “All She Wanna Do” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Though he stood in one place while belting into his microphone, Legend still managed to show off some of his dance moves. “I told her ‘You’re the love of my night / I won’t stop ’til you’re the love of my life / I won’t stop ’til you’re the one that I’m takin’ home / One I’ve been waitin’ for’,” Legend sang in the bridge as women danced around him.

John Legend’s visit to The Tonight Show came on the heels of the release of his double album Legend. His eighth full-length release features Rick Ross, JID, Saweetie, Jhene Aiko, Ty Dolla Sign, and more. Legend was preceded by “Dope,” “Honey,” and “All She Wanna Do.”

Chrissy Teigen Jokes That John Legend’s ‘Splash’ Will Have Ben Shapiro Calling For ‘WAP Doctors Again’

by

As the rollout for John Legend’s upcoming eighth studio album Legend continues, his latest single, the sexually suggestive “Splash” featuring Jhene Aiko and Ty Dolla Sign, is getting plenty of attention for its ribald references to wet and wild indoor sports. When one fan tweeted about the effect she expected the song to have on listeners, Legend’s biggest supporter, his wife Chrissy Teigen, noted the reaction and took the opportunity to compare it to another recent hit about the virtues of, well, sexy swimming without the pool.

“it is very dirty and not for the children!” Chrissy joked. “ben shapiro gonna call for WAP doctors again.” Obviously, her joke is a reference to the conservative commentator’s pearl-clutching reaction to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s song “WAP,” which saw him read the lyrics line-by-line in that whiny voice of his. Rather than having the desired effect of outraging anyone who’s ever actually enjoyed the practice of procreation, Shapiro’s performative prudishness spawned rather a lot of hilarious memes from people dunking on him.

Listen, if this one sends Shapiro running for the recording booth, he’s really not built for the rest of Legend so far. It might be John’s raciest album yet, judging from singles like “Dope,” “Honey,” and “All She Wanna Do.” Between these songs and the fact that the Legends are expecting their third child, Legend is shaping up to be a funk-filled snapshot of all the couple’s lascivious quarantine activities.

John Legend and Saweetie surprise their unwitting co-stars in the absolutely adorable video for their new collaboration “All She Wanna Do.” The third single from John’s upcoming double album Legend, “All She Wanna Do” is about a chance encounter with a potential paramour whose idea of a good time is spent on the dance floor. Accordingly, the video for the song sees a variety of dancers set up for an “audition” for the video, dancing their hearts out on the dressed set.

However, midway through the video, one of the set’s walls comes down to reveal John and/or Saweetie behind each of the dancers, who are floored to see the two celebrities standing there. Each gets to do a solo dance with one of the stars, ranging from salsa to handstand twerking, and all the dancers get to do a group dance with both. At the end of the video, a string of interview clips reveals the impact the opportunity has on the women, who say they enjoyed the camaraderie they forged on set and applaud John Legend for bringing it to life.
