Teigen, 33, who has been well aware of the criticism (especially fromSharon Osborne), quipped, “Well then Sharon assumed you guys like burned them all in the backyard or something and that they can never listen to the original ever again.”
“If I can’t have my creepy song, it’s not Christmas,” she sarcastically added. “I want date-rapey songs.”

“What would John Legend do, if in 40 years, if somebody wanted to — you know, times change — re-record one of his songs, and there was some group that found it offensive, and somebody just went, ‘Oh, I can change the lyrics on that,’” Osbourne began her argument on an episode ofThe Talkearlier this month.
“It’s, to me, like a master painting,” Osbourne explained. “You go and see these beautiful nudes in museums all over the world, they’re spectacular. Would it be right for me to go and draw a bikini top on one of those nudes? It’s still an art form, it’s a piece of art.”
“To change an innocent lyric, to what is it, ‘Your mind and your body?’ What the hell are you on? That’s ridiculous,” she added. “I have to tell you, I love John Legend. I love John Legend’s wife, his family. He’s an amazing artist that I really respect. Why do you do this? That’s not right.”

“Oh my God, get over it,” theBring the Funnystar added. “Go off, Sharon.”
Legend and Clarkson updated a number of lines in the song, which have often raised eyebrows with lines like, “Say, what’s in this drink?” and a back-and-forth where a man tries to persuade a woman to stay the night despite her continued protests — “I really can’t,” and “The answer is no.”
Last year, the song wastaken off of some radio playlistsafter facing criticism.
