Thoughts after seeing Stephen Colbert and John Legend compete for Lady Liberty’s affections by duetting on "The Girl Is Mine" last night:
1) Why couldn’t Michael Jackson have gotten these guys for his 25th-anniversary Thriller reissue, instead of those sad, sad will.i.am/Akon/Kanye remixes?
2) John Legend is much funnier than I would have expected — he’s got enough sardonic facial expressions to launch a sitcom.
3) Likewise, Colby really oughta consider a serious singing career. Dude nails those harmony parts in the last few choruses. (Not that that should come as a surprise.)
4) Lady Liberty is one lucky gal.
All in all, a genius moment — and proof that Colbert is definitively back. Wouldn’t you say?
John Legend sure is cute! (I do like to add what I can to the conversation.)
Wow! The dude can actually sing! That was awesome.
This is awesome. I love John Legend and Colbert really does have pipes.
For the record, John is singing the harmony, not Stephen. Still, hilarious!
Stephen Colbert is one of the funniest people on TV. Period. The End!! And a hell of a singer!

Can knighthood be far behind? Brilliant!

Gil Cates should have gotten Colbert to host the Oscars instead of Jon Stewart again.
Is there anything Stephen Colbert can’t do? Nice voice. I’d vote for more of this as a Legend/Colbert; the two of you worked wonderfully together. Can a duet of “Ebony and Ivory” be far behind???
Nice voice, but Colbert still annoys me, for some reason. He’s just so in-your-face…

The look Legend shot him at the end with “Don’t waste your time” was priceless. And Stephen was brilliant as always.
Legend’s “got enough sardonic facial expressions to launch a sitcom.”? so apparently all you need is one… Colbert=king
The “I was Prom King” from Legend was priceless. After my crush on Stephen went on hiatus (after the Starbucks piece – TMI, Colby, TMI!), its back on again.
That. Is. Awesome. (Can I buy the mp3 on iTunes???) Especially Colbert’s outfit… if only he would’ve had time to sport a slightly-graying mullet…
