I still can't find this version anywhere.
I was hoping iTunes would have it when the single was released but they put up yet another version of the album.
Anyone know where I can download this off the net?

I really enjoyed that interview with John!! Wow he's got so much talent, I loved him doing "Ex Factor" and I had no idea he did the vocals on "Encore" by Jay-Z, and what was that Alicia Keys song? It sounded like "You Don't Know My Name" but I couldn't find him listed on the credits for it.

You can d/l the Ex factor cover here:

does anyone know what the midweeks is for this tune. It seems to be a not too fast paced week. So he may chart high enough

He's not doing too well apparantly, just top 40 last time I heard.

Thats a shame...

He is listed on Alicia's album... but it could be under John Stephens, can't remember!

The radio edit is brilliant, really makes the track good rather than a bland ballad.

Shame it won't do anything in the charts

I hate the remix to this song...I never understood why it was played so much. It's just not good. John Legend isn't the greatest singer(his voice is very shaky) but his album is good because it doesn't bore the hell out of me.

I think he is listed as John Legend on Alicia's album and its John Stephens on Lauryn's Miseducation...

excellent album-true talent-love the new single, i thought it was the strongest on the album. unfortunately some radio stations have remixed the track and it has been ruined but the original is great! dont know if anybody has heard his version of 'dont you worry about a thing'-really worth a listen!

#27, not great, but good. And his album was recently certified Gold in the U.K.

Go John

Thats great. I'm glad he's at least getting recognized in the U.K., not many artists that have been around for way more years then him can say they have a top 20 album and 2 top 30 singles on the other side of the globe.

Go JOHN

This is currently #3 on U.K iTunes! After someone performed this on 'The Voice' tonight, a lot of respect for Will.I.Am's writing on this track.

Loved this song since it was released, still listen to it often. Glad it's getting some more recognition now, even his album has gone number 3 on iTunes!

This is his magnum-opus.

Its a terrific, terrific song - great lyrics, slick vocal delivery which gives an overall excellent production.

About time people recognised how amazing John Legend is and how wonderful this song is. Can't believe it's #3 on UK iTunes... AMAZING!

Two people performed it on The Voice UK.

Maybe this will be his Alicia Keys/Adele 'moment' and it'll take his career to new heights here!

Me too, "Evolver" is very underrated though IMO. I saw him on his last tour, truly fantastic!

So happy for him. I'm a massive fan!! Have all his records. Great to see him have this success!

Now #2. Get Lifted is at 4 on albums, too.
