Chrissy Teigen leaves John Legend stunned and ‘left alone’ amid ‘suspicious’ photo of her kissing someone else
On Monday, November 25, John Legend showcased his musical talent and natural charm during “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” where the Grammy Award-winning artist demonstrated his ability to remodel even essentially the most absurd moments into melodic gold.
Legend, 45, tickled the ivories as he pretended to write down a song about being jealous that his wife was kissing someone aside from him.
During an appearance on the show, host Jennifer Hudson, 43, challenged Legend to write down an impromptu song based on a random photo.
“We love that you can write a song about anything,” Hudson said, setting the tone for the segment.
Legend, who has written songs for artists including Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, humbly noted: “I’m a songwriter, really. I’m not a freestyler (rapper) like Common, he’s an actual freestyler.
Undeterred, Hudson looked as if it would shrug off her humility towards her boyfriend of two years and took the challenge further.
“OK, but I have a little inspiration,” she joked. “If I show you a picture, can you make a song for it?”
“I can try,” Legend replied with a smile because the two made their solution to the piano on the alternative side of the stage.
Hudson explained the principles: The Legend needed to create a song on the spot inspired by the image that appeared on screen.
“I will do my best,” he assured the audience. “I’m really doing this impromptu, y’all. It’s not fake, it’s real.”
The moment took a funny turn when a photo of Legend’s wife, former supermodel Chrissy Teigen (38), appeared on the screen.
In the photo, Teigen pantomimes as if she were kissing a fish at a market. Sitting next to her were two of her 4 children: Luna Simone (8) and Miles Theodore (6).
Without missing a beat, Legend turned the quirky photo right into a soulful melody, bringing laughter to the room.
He jokingly sang, “Chrissy, oh why are you kissing the fish?” before delving into the humor of the situation.
“Chrissy, why are you kissing the fish? Don’t have a man at home? He sits all alone. Oh, don’t you have a man at home? Leave that fish alone,” he continued.
The audience erupted in laughter as Legend seamlessly combined wit and melody, proving once more why he’s won countless awards for it, including an Oscar with Hudson’s boyfriend Common for the song “Glory.”
The unconventional performance not only highlighted his musical genius, but additionally his ability to search out joy and creativity in unexpected moments of life.
Fans flooded comments section YouTube video celebrating the master singer/songwriter.
“So much talent. We want the entire version of the fish song,” one person wrote.
“LOVE ME SOME LEGEND!!!!” one comment read. “PLEASE FINISH YOUR FISH SONG OR GO TO HELL!!!! I’M BUYING A SAMPLE!!! THE SONG TITLE SHOULD BE LEAVE THIS FISH ALONE AND GO HOME!!! GOD BLESS.”
One viewer wrote: “John is not a huge fan, but he is a fan and after the first song I knew where you were going word for word! I got that impression when I looked at the photo.”
Although Legend jokingly sang about loneliness while his wife kissed a fish, few people appear to know their sense of humor. The couple just celebrated their 18th birthdayvol wedding anniversary and are greater than just spouses – in keeping with Teigen, they’re “best friends.”
She said in interview with us at ChainFEST in October: “We are truly best friends. We like being together, we like being together. We have the identical sense of humor and I learn rather a lot from him on a regular basis. He has a way.
The two are still very much in love and have two young children: Esti Maxine (22 months) and son Wren Alexander (17 months).
Legend is a novel talent beyond being a dad and husband, having amassed a formidable collection of accolades throughout his profession, including 12 Grammy Awards, two Emmy Awards, an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Tony Award. He also holds the respect of being the primary African American to achieve this EGOT status and is one of only 15 people on this exclusive and prestigious club.
Notable artists who received an EGOT award include Hudson, who sang a duet version of his hit “Ordinary People” on the show.
Show sent the 2 sing on social media with the caption: “There’s nothing ordinary about this performance.” Many of the show’s 1.3 million fans appreciated their special gifts.
One person said: “I love John@legend’s voice!!!! He and Jennifer sound amazing!!!”
“Whoa, when is the album coming out,” asked one other.
While the 2 have not talked about recording an album together, this is not the primary time they’ve sung together. While Hudson 100vol episode in 2023, he joined her to sing “Bridge Over Troubled Water”.
Perhaps this can be a project they may consider in the long run.
