John Legend and Common Performance of "Glory" at the Oscars
Common and John Legend's Powerful "Glory" Performance Will Go Down in Oscars History
Common and John Legend have been performing "Glory" a lot this award season, and when they brought the Oscar-nominated song from Selma to the Academy Award stage, they topped themselves. In their most intense performance yet, the stage was turned into a re-creation of the film, Common rapped about Ferguson, and then a crowd joined them on stage. It made lots of audience members like David Oyelowo and Chris Pine cry, and was just about the most powerful moment of the entire event — oh, until their speech, that is.
