They looking the way they look cause he just beautifully said and reitterated what bob was saying almost 50 years ago …. Rest in ital eternity brotha bob ✊🏼
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!
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.
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!
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🙏
As I get older this song seeps deeper and deeper into my soul. Now I listen to it and I’m fighting back tears. God bless you Bob, and thank you John for such a beautiful rendition.❤
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....
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.
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.
oh my! See the faces of the audience! That clapping at the end is not unlikely to be a formality. Great performance from John Legend. And he edited the lyrics around atomic energy (bomb) - a legend indeed #RedemptionSong
We were created by words, we live by words, we move by words, and our entire existence...by words. If you hear these words, and are not moved...then there is something missing from deep within your soul.
Powerful, powerful, powerful indeed,. The incredible powerful performer and artist , Bob Marley. We lost another truly authentic and beautiful soul. RIP xxx😇😇😇😇😇
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.
John you can sing the great Bob Marley song any time. You have done him justice with this rendition😘😘😍😍. Take it from me who is from the most beautiful island Jamaica where Bob was born. Thank you for honoring is song so well.
Bob's legacy will live on forever. There will be no generation that doesn't know of him and his music. JAH RASTAFARI!!! EVERLIVING, EVERFAITHFUL, EVERSURE . ONE LOVE!!!!!
Give Jah thanks fi di creation of the Legendary Bob Marley and his inspiration. Give Jah thanks for inspiring John Legend himself to sing this beautiful rendition
They looking the way they look cause he just beautifully said and reitterated what bob was saying almost 50 years ago …. Rest in ital eternity brotha bob ✊🏼
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
Mr. John Legend, definitely changed the atmosphere in that place.
The right song sung by the right artist at the right time changes everything. 🌹
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 🤣🤣
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.
Well, BOB's name is Universal. From Japan to USA to Europe to Africa, to New Zealand, BOB is UNIVERSAL!!! Jah Lives!
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.
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.
watching it today 😢

John Legend singing this song, Bob Marley’s song, is perfect- his voice and piano playing and the lyrics are making me cry
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!
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 ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
The perfection in his voice is just crazy!!
He is simply not given enough credit he is a true talent.
Was very lucky to see Bob Marley perform this song at Crystal Palace concert bowl 1980 .
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.
Legend never die. Bob Marley always on our heart.
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🤘🏾
Bob Marley lives in our hearts forever❤️
Bob Marley deserved a Nobel Prize himself, posthumously.
As I get older this song seeps deeper and deeper into my soul. Now I listen to it and I’m fighting back tears. God bless you Bob, and thank you John for such a beautiful rendition.❤
One love from Jamaica
One love from Cape Town, South Africa ✌️💜💡
Such a staggering rendition of this song. The pacing is incredibly moving.
“We’ve got to fulfill the book”--Bob Marley
Bob just wanted all the human stay together in peace and harmony. Love you Bob Marley.
I bet Bob would have cried listening to this beatiful performance.
Wonderful - proud Jamaican 🇯🇲 here. Bob was always sending a message through his songs.
Great version. First time I heard this song on piano. So nice. powerful voice as well the lyrics.
The perfect occasion, the perfect setting, a sweet song, and a great artist... A brief delightful moment that elevates minds and spirits.
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.
BYRON CORTEZ MUSIC Rihanna too.

RIP Bob Marley..one of the greatest to ever live!!!
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....
Wow! Brought tears to my eyes. Peace to all...
very nice.
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.

This is beautiful. Love John Legend's singing and piano playing. Give's this song a deeper meaning. 🌹
Why have i not heard this performance before!! Its AMAZING!
What a song for the venue! Brought tears to my eyes!
His songs don't just remind us about him, but also what he wanted us to achieve. Amazing Legendary Bob Marley, thanks John Legend.
John Legend did justice to this Bob Marley classic, who was rightly a legend himself 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Any years later, and this song is still very relevant today
Bob Marley just came to life to cheer for John the Legend.
Dude just redeemed himself with me, personally... I believe Mr. Marley would've been quite alright with this rendition. Very nicely done!
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 such a gifted Artist i ever seen in my generation
Bob worked tirelessly for peace. For his song to be performed at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony...there are no words.
John legend is a legend in my book! I'm sure he is to many others as well. What a great talent and man❤
The space this is preformed in is something else.. so many emotions with the emptiness of some of the background and the windows.
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.
Bob Marley was a warrior happy to move on to peace, the real thing he was seeking. RIP Mr Marley.
Mr Legend, this was an amazing interpretation of one of Bob's greatest writings!!! Forward ever, backward never!!!!!!!
Such powerful words from Bob . Thanks Mr. Legend for repeating them.
Songs of freedom, power, n a message of selfworth for all mankind. One love
Great job, John. A cover worthy of the original. Powerful voice, piano, beauty in simplicity.
The first video I've ever watched and felt as if I was in the lyrics. Beautiful
This man is brave just look at hid audience lol mr john
Beautiful. The takeaway of the song is made crystal clear through John Ledgen's possession of it.
oh my!
See the faces of the audience!
That clapping at the end is not unlikely to be a formality.
Great performance from John Legend.
And he edited the lyrics around atomic energy (bomb) - a legend indeed
#RedemptionSong
