Lol, John Legend portraying Jesus Christ is laughable…. no thanks…
And just why is that?
My new African boo came over again yall and let me tell you he put it down. It was real gooooood. I have a new boo and I’m very happy yall.
I’m tired if reading your sexxcapades. Keep that ish to yourself.
Shut up Trollmine.
Jess was not white. He was of color. Only uninformed people think he was white. It says so in the bible.
Jesus not Jess.
Still waiting to hear the answer to that question of why John Legend playing Jesus is “laughable”….
the twitter reviews for the most part were atrocious. john legend was a boring Jesus.
He is undoubtedly talented but just not the greatest performer in terms of being engaging
Twitter reviews? Lol. Umm ok
What did the real reviews say!? The ppl that actually matter gave it good reviews.
Well ultimately, public opinion is what matters….the audience matters.
Most of the world is NOT on twitter. So umm yeah, reality check
Lmao seriously, twitter reviews? Lmao.
“The people who really matter” are the viewers at home – the twitter users
Doesn’t matter if paid critics gave it 4 stars, if the overwhelming majority of general public disagree then thats who NBC CARES ABOUT
The majority of viewers at home are not on twitter. You are overvaluing twitter.
Congrat John
I haven’t even saw the show although I’d like to view it!!
