any song that does not fit the soul of an artist cannot prove that artist as being good or great.... sometimes , because the choice of the song is so bad that your first impression is the singer is not a singer at all!
Do we really have to kill the moment with this nonsense comments? Do you even know what kind of ceremony this is? This the Nobel Price awards, not bankers meeting. People from around the world get an award for a fantastic contribution to humanity, a contribution like Bob Marley did... this song is well placed in this ceremony and you all should have more respect when talking about things that you don't understand. Sorry about the tone but one gets really angry when seing these kind of comments from people whos best contribution to humanity is spitting out garbage like these.
Oh my gosh! This rendition of Bob Marley's Redemption Song by John Legend is simply amazing; This brings tears to all eyes, no matter what the creed. Wow!
I agree with you here...I don't think another human being anywhere can touch what Bob Marley had. It came directly from his heart with true meaning to people everywhere. He just wanted the entire world to be at peace with one another. I miss him so much, but his music will live on forever. A true legend!!!
@@gloriamitchell2376 Bob Marley, third and firts world superstar,what a legend..I can't explain with words how much I wish that he was around,I am here at 39 crying,much love for everybody whom read this message..
03:33, It is okay to cry. I cried listening to this in 2018. The lyrics are timeless. The biggest percentage of the world (probably not in that room) are singing "redemption songs" everyday.
To the people thinking this song is a beautiful and touching piece, imagine this is only the tip of the iceberg, the icing on the cake of Bob Marley´s musical career. This is mainly why he is my favorite artist of all time, every album he has ever made is original and incredibly solid, there is such a perfection about his music, he grabbed a simple concept and molded it into a magic and pure sound that punches the soul in many ways.
John Legend has moved me with his voice and musical talent on so many occasions and this time is no different. He is most definitely a soul traveling from old times. I'm very proud to have him as a brother and I'm sure Bob is proud as well🙏
Hitting on the nail... artists like John Legend, Alicia Keys, Emili Sandé among others are the ones who truly keep carrying legacies for uprising & freedom like Bob did back then... immense respect always to all these incredible true artists.
Yah indeed them Marchant ships robbed Africa of its greatest we just been left with a bunch of dictators who rule with an iron fist, they rob Africa of its natural resources, they kill her children with unspeakable poverty tho we will forward we will overcome Aluta continue
One of Bob's strengths as a songwriter was he knew that it's not just what you write it's how you deliver it...it's not just what you say it's what you don't say...he was human....
John Legend !!!! Thank You for your Authenticity and Honesty to SING the truth. This isn't even america and these are the stiffest looking audience.............WOW. Beginning at 1:34 the camera is on her and she just doesn't know how to respond to the truth being delivered so heartfelt and pure.................without anger and protest. Bob Marley was bringing people together in a peaceful way and people were opening up...............................Story sounds way too familiar.
I had honestly not heard of John Legend before the Nobel Peace Prize Concert, but every time i hear him now after that, he makes my heart and soul break, and I love him for it.
Powerful, powerful, powerful indeed,. The incredible powerful performer and artist , Bob Marley. We lost another truly authentic and beautiful soul. RIP xxx😇😇😇😇😇
The most potent weapon. Not a bomb, not a attack, but a song.
the most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed....Biko
Fantastic!
A potent weapon indeed, just never wielded because the population is too ignorant to absorb what is actually said.
Bullshit. No song ever freed a country.
O yes!!!!!

Bob Marley. The legend. I live 10mins away from his house. 😎🇯🇲
Wayne Riley do you sing tooo
beautiful country, st. anne.
I live ten minutes away from Nelson Mandela's house
i live 2k miles away from both you and him! sad!
Yes.. Im from philippines but i lived before in jamaica.. came to his house in new kingstlne
In this performance I realize how good singer John legend is.
any song that does not fit the soul of an artist cannot prove that artist as being good or great.... sometimes , because the choice of the song is so bad that your first impression is the singer is not a singer at all!
i've seen him live-great vocals!!
Mitchell Burnings was a million times better than this guy. After hearing Mitchell first this guy is a joke
.... it took you this long?
Really!!!!! He has always been a great singer
Let me see all the proud Jamaicans up in here🇯🇲❣️❣️❣️❣️you surely made Bob Marley proud John❣️
this is not About Jamaica. Don't be narrow minded.
Bob Marley would be proud hearing u singing this song.
Rohan Burrell. That's what he ask us in his song . won't u help to sing . redemption songs
He is singing to the wrong people who do not undestand the emotion behind the redemption song
😏😏😏
do you really think Bob Marley would love hearing his song whitewashed - there's a reason why Marley sang his song in Jamaican patois
@@josor9902 because that was his accent bruv you think John legend should fake a jam accent 🤣🤣
Mr. John Legend, definitely changed the atmosphere in that place.
The right song sung by the right artist at the right time changes everything. 🌹
Was very lucky to see Bob Marley perform this song at Crystal Palace concert bowl 1980 .
Well, BOB's name is Universal. From Japan to USA to Europe to Africa, to New Zealand, BOB is UNIVERSAL!!! Jah Lives!
I feel like some of them looked a little funny because he was talking to them and they know it. Beautiful.
Alejandro Nopasanada facts
They know he is singing about them but these devils don't care. It's actually a compliment to them.
What observation! Absolutely. He sang the sang right into their skins and the brains. A lot of awkwardness among the crowd.

Oh my gosh! This rendition of Bob Marley's Redemption Song by John Legend is simply amazing; This brings tears to all eyes, no matter what the creed. Wow!
I don't think there is another influential singer like Bob Marley,his music is something else. It's hard to explain,It just gave me chills..
There is. And he is name is Bob Dylan. Listen to Bob Dylan's political songs like 'masters of war' or 'with god on our side'

John Legend singing this song, Bob Marley’s song, is perfect- his voice and piano playing and the lyrics are making me cry
I can feel the tension in that room thru my phone!!!!!😁😁
Big ol facts
Amazing moment. Mr. Marley's words still carry a profound message. John Legend honored him admirably.
He is no mr. Marley. Its bob marley.
Thanks though ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bob would be very proud.
Bob Marley lives in our hearts forever❤️

Had to check if cameras were watching first 😏
Imagine listening to it live.
i thought I only 1 this sad😢❤
Probably not in that room. Right.

He is simply not given enough credit he is a true talent.
All I ask for is redemption

I bet Bob would have cried listening to this beatiful performance.
Singing to the descendents of our oppressors such a song.
John Legend did justice to this Bob Marley classic, who was rightly a legend himself 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
RIP Bob Marley..one of the greatest to ever live!!!
Bob Marley is alive in our bodies❤
Bob wrote an amazing song
John did bob proud
bob did not need John to spread the word.
Bob Marley lives on through his music and lyrics..
You're right he lives on, I still listen to his music till date, he was an icon
What's your favorite song by Bob marley?
Hey...guys who dislike this beautiful song...you don't want to emancipate your self.
Bob Marley should be a national hero, his songs will forever be in our hearts. My favorite of all is "War"
He is international hero
@@purebeauty8901 even in heaven they sing his songs and devil also would enjoy from down there and aliens would as well
In Africa it's Nelson Mandela and Bob Marley.
Bob Marley was a warrior happy to move on to peace, the real thing he was seeking. RIP Mr Marley.
Any years later, and this song is still very relevant today
John Legend has moved me with his voice and musical talent on so many occasions and this time is no different. He is most definitely a soul traveling from old times. I'm very proud to have him as a brother and I'm sure Bob is proud as well🙏
I agree🤘🏾
Dude just redeemed himself with me, personally... I believe Mr. Marley would've been quite alright with this rendition. Very nicely done!
Bob just wanted all the human stay together in peace and harmony. Love you Bob Marley.
I cry each time i heard this interpretation
One love from Jamaica
One love from Cape Town, South Africa ✌️💜💡

This is beautiful. Love John Legend's singing and piano playing. Give's this song a deeper meaning. 🌹
John, your wife and you help our family so much. Depression and world politics bring us down. But there is hope, there is hope!
John legend is a legend in my book! I'm sure he is to many others as well. What a great talent and man❤
Why have i not heard this performance before!! Its AMAZING!
Having never heard this before all I can say is

The number one song of earth.
His songs don't just remind us about him, but also what he wanted us to achieve. Amazing Legendary Bob Marley, thanks John Legend.
Long live the spirit of bob Marley
Bob worked tirelessly for peace. For his song to be performed at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony...there are no words.
Legend singing a song by a Legend. Rest easy, uncle Bob. One love, everyone 🤟🤙
Pfff
John legend is such a gifted Artist i ever seen in my generation
Bob Marley just came to life to cheer for John the Legend.
Great version. First time I heard this song on piano. So nice. powerful voice as well the lyrics.
Such a powerful song sung by a great singer. Hit like if you agree
Bob Marley is a legend. One of the best ever.
The space this is preformed in is something else.. so many emotions with the emptiness of some of the background and the windows.
Wow! Brought tears to my eyes. Peace to all...
very nice.
Songs of freedom, power, n a message of selfworth for all mankind. One love
The perfection in his voice is just crazy!!
Talk about Legend and Bob Marley name is up there. ✅🇳🇬
Imagine being in the audience, so good. I can't wait to win a Nobel a prize, and be in a midst like this. Fingers crossed.
What a song for the venue! Brought tears to my eyes!
One of Bob's strengths as a songwriter was he knew that it's not just what you write it's how you deliver it...it's not just what you say it's what you don't say...he was human....
His voice when he sings ballads is just so sobering.
There's a reason this song (message) was delivered to THAT audience.
Do tell the reason. The comment thread is wondering..
Killed it John, long live the Prophet Robert Nesta Marley!
Bob Marley lives on through his music and lyrics
If there was a Nobel Prize for music, Bob Marley had earned it!
Bob Marley is almost- if not already- in the same tier and category as Paul Mccartney as a tunesmith and as a balladeer.
Almost are you kidding me😢
The first video I've ever watched and felt as if I was in the lyrics. Beautiful
ONE LOVE ONE NATION!!!! BOB MARLEY MESSAGE FOREVER LIVES ON JAH RASTA FARI!!!
Felt that - heritage from our dads - just a redemption song to help to sing and pass on 😢, you get it or you don’t.
the Lord bless and keep John Legend safe and his family. Amen
Unbelievable vocals from Legend.Bob will be smiling down from heaven.
This is the only cover that I accept.
Try the Stevie Wonder’s version
Bob marley is the legend...
I felt so proud to be Caribbean powerful song. Bob Marley lives on.

My favorite John legend🎹🎹
Nothing but legends and talent comes from Jamaica🇯🇲🇯🇲🔥🔥
Mr Legend, this was an amazing interpretation of one of Bob's greatest writings!!! Forward ever, backward never!!!!!!!
