John Legend 'Is An Artist Who Has Integrity,' Says Front Row Fans

Front Row Fans is a reoccurring feature, which turns the attention back to the fans, particularly the ones that make their way to the front of the stage. From small intimate theater shows to stadiums, iHeartRadio is all about highlighting the connection between fans and their favorite artists, so why not showcase that relationship right in front of the stage?

We're only into the second week of November, but the holiday season is in full effect and John Legend helped partake in festivity during his recent intimate holiday show, courtesy of iHeartRadio LIVE and Verizon. On Monday night (November 12), the R&B crooner took to the iHeartRadio Theater in Soho to churn out cuts from his newly-released A Legendary Christmas LP, as well as some of his classics like "Ordinary People" and "All of Me." Oh, and did we mention that wifey Chrissy Teigen also crashed his performance of the latter, lip-synching every word to the tender piano ballad?

Before the hour-long set, iHeartRadio spoke to the jam-packed crowd to speak with some of Legend's biggest fans in our latest installment of Front Row Fans and it's become clear that the devotion for the recent EGOT winner spans all kinds of demographics. Scroll on below!

FAVORITE JOHN LEGEND CAREER HIGHLIGHT: "When he and his wife took a stand publically and were talking about our President and what he cares about. Even though Trump wasn't taking a stand to make donations to Puerto Rico, he and his wife still gave money to that cause." 

FAVORITE JOHN LEGEND SONG: "Ordinary People" or "Start the Fire" 

EARLIEST JOHN LEGEND MEMORY: "The first time I ever heard him was 'Ordinary People' and I loved him from that point on and he continued to swoon our hearts with those love songs and La La Land. I loved him in that as well. He has the most hilarious wife and the cutest baby ever."

FAVORITE JOHN LEGEND CAREER HIGHLIGHT: "I saw him at Global Citizen's Fest and he was amazing. We were out in Central Park and he shut everyone up, number one. Number two, he was, like, 'Governor Cuomo, We're going to hold you up to everything you just said on this stage.' That meant so much to me and he is an artist who has integrity and is on top of things. He's not just there for soundbites or anything like that. That meant a lot to me. He is involved. He is committed. He's an intelligent and talented man, so I was excited about that."

FAVORITE JOHN LEGEND SONG: "Ordinary People"

EARLIEST JOHN LEGEND MEMORY"'Ordinary People' was it!"

FAVORITE JOHN LEGEND CAREER HIGHLIGHT: "His song 'Glory' means a lot. I thought it was really powerful. It was a special song to me. The message that he was getting across was really important."

FAVORITE JOHN LEGEND SONG: "All Of Me"

EARLIEST JOHN LEGEND MEMORY: "It was actually a while ago. I've been listening to him for a long time. I was probably, like, 13 or 12."
