The Grammy-winning singer known for his silky-smooth vocals was revealed as this year’s winner Tuesday night on NBC’s “The Voice.” He serves as a coach on the singing competition series with Gwen Stefani, Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton.
Shelton, who was named Sexiest Man Alive in 2017, announced Legend’s honor on “The Voice.” The country singer then handed Legend some short shorts with bedazzled letters “EGOTSMA” to signify the singer’s many honors: an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony and now, Sexiest Man Alive. Legend tells the magazine in an issue out Friday the honor comes with some pressure after following Idris Elba, who was last year’s winner. He jokes it “is not fair and is not nice to me!”
The 40-year-old Legend is a 10-time Grammy winner. He scored an Oscar in 2015 for co-writing the song “Glory” from the film “Selma.” He won a Tony Award for his co-producer work on “Jitney” and took home an Emmy as a producer on NBC’s live version of “Jesus Christ Superstar,” a project in which he also played the role of Jesus.Other recent winners include Dwayne Johnson, Chris Hemsworth, Adam Levine, Channing Tatum and David Beckham.
“I want to thank Blake Shelton,” Legend said. “I observed every move he made, every utterance that came from his mouth and I think some of it rubbed off on me.”The couple’s children? Not so much. Teigen posted a video of the reveal of their daughter asking to turn off “The Voice” and go back to a movie. Teigen titled the post
Who in the hell votes for these people - not only not! but also the guy's overrated!
Maybe I don't want 2 dance anymore
Imma let you finish, People, but all I'm saying is, SimuLiu exists
🤣🤣🤣👎🏽
Terrible choice. This guy is a bad person. All around give him a D
Really? No Serious.. Really? Am I the only one that saw this and said What Fking Planet am I on..? Or just me? People missed the mark on this one.. JasonMomoa is the Sexiest man alive.
😂😂 He looks like a grown up Webster.
Gotta be a joke
Puke. He's a major a$$hole and also a wimp. I guess that passes for sexy to some in 2019.....go figure.
They screwed the pooch on this one. John Legend is not only ugly but could only be attractive to gay men. Straight women are not into effeminate men in the majority.
wtf
🤣🤣🤣
johnlegend ? 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously!
So What!
Men
Army
Men
Oooohhhh yeah
How is it a different guy beats me every year?
I'm absolutely confused he's not a handsome man he weirdly looks more like a human grown baby so bad call for people
not Kaitlyn Jenner?
Ilghhh.. dude looks like a preying mantis son.
Pretty good choice.
Holy crap, not even close
All 5ft 9in
Lmaooo
He was sexy until he married her!
I totally agree! And what I find sexiest about Mr. Legend is how he is with his family. That one video where he is showing his son how to play the piano....is one for the books! Congrats!! :)
I think they meant to say Tom Ellis.
Why not me😩
A man full of hate is NOT sexy!
🤡😂
I don't freaking think so Nothing appealing about him at all
Hats of to johnlegend. I’m grateful to have been in the running people.
Did his husband clear his name regarding child porn? Or is that still a thing?
Troll of the year!!! Nice job
Baby it’s cold outside
Nah .... Idris Elba. Heck even Tom Cruise with his lame ass is sexier.
Do they know Jason Momoa is alive?
Hahahaha
How can a non man be the sexiest man alive. Strange times.
Ok... Who were the judges?
YIKES. TOUGH TIMES.
Oh dear God
What a complete A hole
Donald Trump will disagreed..
Is this an early April fools joke?
No. Not even the top 100.
Seriously? To Funny😅
Being a good husband and father is sexy! I get it.
This is april fools right?
😀 👌
Pass
Yuck
...cuz he's not the best singer, alive? Cracking up!
Nope. 👎
Was Chrissy Teigen the entire poll sample
I'm not a woman but if they say so.
take a second look
really? lol
The man who looks like he cries after sex
Ok...LMAO
One thing's for sure, Legend is NOT.
When will we stop objectifying people?
Who votes for this shit?
ICHEOKU says what is “sexy” about a sissy girlie man that looks so feminine? Just another affront to masculinity. Pitifully sad.
Sexy just got corny af😐
this is like the Grammys. It means little because its a Hollywood media popularity contest, Not the Pulse of the Nation.
Seriously?!?
🤔A man with that big bootey is sexy?
I REMIXED SZA THE WEEKND LETS
🙄
Glory be... This will Trigger all the Magats. 🤣🤣🤣
If realDonaldTrump is not chosen the sexiest man alive, then People magazine has no credibility.
Who cares?
Hahahaha
Oh please 🙄 😏😏
Somewhat like bestowing the same title on that Blake Shelton guy. 😄People Mag has no authority in choosing the sexiest of anything.
Gross
He’s a good guy. Great, really great music. Sexy? Well, yeah, I suppose. Just not to me. But congratulations, dude!
What about sexiest dead guy?
Isn’t that word considered offensive now? Aren’t we too “woke” to refer to another person as such an objectifying term as “sexy?”
Ok
Why not Dave East?
chrissyteigen here are the Starbucks Red Cup trolls you were looking for 😂
Please .
More like 'wokest'... John Legend is the guy who gets left mid-date for Tom Hardy
💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m the sexiest man alive and I’m female
Badass.

Oh well, maybe next year.
It’s funny how the loser elites love giving each other awards! Btw he’s 5’ 8”
He’s cute not sexy. Lol
This is sexy!
Here are some sexy black men they could have picked: Lamman Rucker or Wole Parks
Even dudes in prison disagree with this one.
He is not sexy. Someone got paid to print this?
Oh People Woke now! Next year a lesbian who identifies as a bisexual unicorn.
Runner Up: DENNIS RODMAN! sarcasm satire PeopleMagazine MSM
🤔
trump thinks he’s sexist man alive even when he’s barely alive !
Man?
Proof that this title (sexiest man alive) is just a spoof...No substance at all....
He's definitely one of the nicest and most sincere gentlemen I've watched in a long time. And he makes simply beautiful music.
How the mighty have fallen.
He’s goofy
Oh geez, huh, don’t know how that happened, not attractive to me, but to each their own......🤔
Why?
Never floated my boat
Oh how that award has fallen on hard times
Oh
Riiiight
What place did Werner Herzog get? I’m betting second place right?
NBCTheVoice 3 men from Voice Adam, Blake and John. Is NBC paying People. 😂
sexiest man alive among celebrities just to be more specific.
Have you met my dad? 😐 I swear he'll change this record
chrissyteigen how long til DJT claims he was in the running but they didn’t give it to him because he’s President? 🤣
How did he beat out Michelle Obama?
chrissyteigen so it begins
Can confirm. He’s super sexy and likes tacos.
Because he is.
Who are those voters?
🤔
Really? I mean, really? I wonder if these magazines choose someone they know isn’t the sexiest man alive on purpose, to cause comment and controversy and publicity.
He’s talented but definitely not the sexiest man.
It’s gotta be those dimples!
Huh 🤔
Super Christian nation we live in yea
His wife still annoying
I'm the sexiest man alive in my apartment. I've won the award 7 years in a row 😋😋😋
No
We got to know from her wife. She updated her bio on Twitter 😉
To old ladies
Ugh , not only is he not sexy (imo) but he’s just an all around douche
This is what you get when only men are voting.
Gross... this guy is cuter!
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why is this news? Black man can’t be the sexiest man alive?
Jajaja, he's ugly. The same lie when magazines said Michelle Obama is pretty
Not a man...come on people. Women who actually like men should do the voting.

😂🤣 JLegend getting propped up by his sick buddies won't save him or his wife from trouble. Maybe even prison. TheMoreYouKnow
Being sexy is more than just good looks.
How is this his first time?
People magazine must not know many people
Nope
Did they even consider Rudy

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING
