John Legend is an impromptu songwriting king!
On Monday, Nov. 25, the musician, 45, appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show and performed an improvised song based on a funny photo of his wife, Chrissy Teigen.
“We love that you can make a song up about anything,” host Jennifer Hudson, 43, began to which Legend replied, “I’m a songwriter, I am.”
Referring to Hudson’s boyfriend, rapper Common, he clarified, “I’m not a freestyle like Common is, he’s a real freestyler.”
“Okay, I got a little inspo though,” Hudson continued. “If I pull up a picture can you make a song to it?”
“I can try,” Legend replied as the pair walked over to a grand piano nearby.

“Oh,” Legend, who also shares daughter Esti Maxine, 22 months, and son Wren Alexander, 17 months, with Teigen, gasped with affection before playing soulful notes on the piano.
Displaying a smile as he looked at the photo, he slowly sang, “Chrissy, oh why are you kissing a fishy?”
Continuing his vocals, the artist sang, “Chrissy, why are you kissing a fishy? Don’t you have a man at home? He’s sitting all alone. Oh, don’t you have a man at home? Leave that fish alone.”
As Legend finished his fun piece about Teigen, who he married in 2013, the crowd erupted into applause and cheers.
The show also saw Hudson and the songwriter perform a duet of Legend’s 2004 song “Ordinary People.”
While the “All of Me” singer began the first verse, the duo sang together for the chorus.
