Last week, John Legend told fans to"stay tuned" after one asked him if he'd ever do a duet with Kelly Clarkson. Well, he has, and it'll be out Nov. 8.
The two have recorded a new version of"Baby It's Cold Outside," with updated lyrics written by John and Natasha Rothwell of the HBO series"Insecure." The rewrite does away with language that critics said made it a relic of a bygone era. "Baby It's Cold Outside" is one of four new tracks that will appear on a deluxe edition of John's 2018 holiday album, A Legendary Christmas.
The song was made famous by the 1949 movie"Neptune's Daughter," and focuses on a man trying to persuade a reluctant woman to stay the night with him, ostensibly due to bad winter weather. With lyrics like"I ought to say no, no, no sir ," critics have long called it offensive. But in this new version, as Vanity Fair reports, when Clarkson sings,"What will my friends think...", Legend replies with:"I think they should rejoice."The other new tracks are covers of"This Christmas,""My Favorite Things" and"Christmas In New Orleans." The album's available for pre-order now.

John legend sucks.
How stupid PC police ruining a nice song.
OMG ruining everything!!!
Out of all the songs in the universe, especially modern day rap music that degraded women in virtually every song, for this old, old song to be the issue is absurd. But they won’t go after black artists...
🤮
Or you can just watch this parody that predates the controversy:
Isn’t this a copyright violation?
I will not listen to the remake. It was sung in a simpler time when people's minds weren't in the gutter.
Are we going to start rewriting books next?
So what is it now? 'Adult Human Female, the weather is inclement, it's best to stay indoors wearing fleece'
In other news: Artists touch up the Mona Lisa to give her thicker eyebrows, because that’s what’s in fashion.
Stupid
Yeah this is news ABC
What a waste of time.
What happened to poetic license. All other genre of songs have much worse lyrics than that.
Maybe that Mobile doesn't twist at the sky. They would consider it a bury. Your choice, but I'm just a scurvy. johnlegend kellyclarkson Thanks for your help.
I really can’t staaaay Alright, well I’m glad you stopped by, text me when you get home End song
So dumb
The voice is a mess now. Even my wife is sick of Kelly. You thin she's cute. We all think she's annoying as hell. Somebody please shut her up. How did she even get there? She's average at best. Must have a good agent.
I want a redo on the redo
I’m sure it’s great! Very talented, old version was fine though unless you an insecure feminist!
What? Everyone was so triggered last year about the lyrics to this song. Wow hypocrites
Boring. I like Dolly Parton’s versión. No political correctness stupidity.
👎
He’s not 39.
This is the culture neo-Marxists are ushering in: a culture of weakness, grandstanding & stupidity...all for the sake of social justice. No wonder testosterone levels keep declining...
Baby it's cold outside is a song about date rape, considered the norm at the time, but not now, I think the song should be put on the pile of 'not anymore'
I always thought that he was mismatched for teen Rap culture.
Just trash the whole song. We dont need it.
A modern update. Hmmm. Why don’t we update the Constitution while we are at it. Snowflakes
I thought the song was hated-by libtards *liberals*
It is a song. Leave it alone.
Great news. They fixed everything, now there’s no more rape.
So is not cold outside anymore ?
Oh and btw when trump gets re elected..you can thank shit like this
Dear comet...please speed up and don’t miss
Here's the 'B Side' 'Baby, Who Cares?'
Hard pass
I will turn the remake off Everytime . People need to grow up and stop remaking things. The originals came from a simpler time.
🤦🏽♀️
why did you think that song needed a redo! The people that were listening to it and thought it was a date rape song need a redo! It is just a fun little xmas about flirting!
Hard Pass
Sounds horrible
Love them.
u can rest assured i won't be playing this version at the Christmas party....
johnlegend
Lmao John Legend has never had a man card to turn in. Ever. He's as soy as they get
Now do 'Come On Eileen'
My weather app says it's 15c 🤨 Granted, this time last year we had snow on the ground but let's not rush things... shall we?
that's enough PC ness...... they should have left it alone
Leave it the way it was written. Those who disagree with the lyrics given current day and grow up. It didn’t mean then how it is perceived now.
Pimp
johns3334 FFS!!! Give it up
Wow, 'politically correct' libtatds strike again
Both versions of the song are fantastic MichaelBuble and it gives me a dancing feeling a singing feeling and feeling like im in a broadway musical play
The song is find in its original form. Films/music are art just like a painting or any other form of art. You don't change or alter its original form in the name of feminism or political correctness. If you do that you will be altering all art.
Next up, we rewrite Steve Miller Band’s Joker because the Meth epidemic happened.
Artists rewriting artist's work. Very difficult work.
More woke wars
Mood
Idiots
1944 “Baby It’s Cold Outside” 2019 “Person of NonDescript Gender it’s Moderately Cool Outside, and I Think You Should Sign These Consent Forms”
Why ruin a classic just let the snow flakes plug there ears and hide in there safe place the world is full of panty wait weak and fools
'Baby He's Orange Outside' is an anthem for TDS sufferers.
The song is the song. I LOVE IT. If you think it is rape-y that’s your opinion, but let it be.
Baby it’s even colder outside?
