On last week's Who Would You Rather we received the following comment: "A Black man will NEVER win anything on this site….unless you put him up against another Black man. But then queens would just complain and say neither." We were surprised to read this comment, because we were almost one-hundred percent positive that Morris Chestnut would defeat Scott Wolf. Good thing we didn't place any bets. Though the votes were close, Wolf pulled out ahead.
This week, we decided to take our commenter's suggestion and place a black man against a black man. If you "queens" decide to say neither, that's your prerogative, but we'd just like to take a moment to acknowledge that men of all colors are sexy. If you don't get it, then get over yourself.
Our two contestants come right from People's "Sexiest Man Alive" list. Johnny Depp may be topping it all, but they're holding it down elsewhere in the rankings. It's particularly shameful that the last time the publication featured a black man as the "Sexiest Man Alive" was for 1996's Denzel Washington issue. In fact, it was the only time.
But let me get off my soapbox, and let's just get to the point. Who would you rather–John Legend (left) or Nick Cannon (right)? I already know who I'm voting for, and he's not married to Mariah Carey.
UPDATE: The poll has been fixed. We apologize for the inconvenience.

To cast your vote, follow the JUMP:
Something wrong with the coding on the page. I’m only seeing part of B (my choice), and am not able to select it or vote. A refresh did no good.
has anyone been able to vote? the vote button seems to be hidden. not sure if this is just my computer screen or sth else?
Oh come on! You got to make it competitive like Tyrese Gibson vs. Shemar Moore OR Flo Rida vs LL Cool J for example! We may have to pick one but put hot sexy pictures of both and everybody wins!
I would vote 4 the guy who is not married 2 Mariah Carey IF I COULD VOTE !!!!
Tip: If you’re using IE, you should be able to right click on the voting screen and choose “Show All”, then you’ll see both pictures, but smaller, and the Vote Now button.
Moderator, why hasn’t this been fixed yet?
Michael’s tip should work if you’re using a PC, just make sure you right click on the blue “Who would you vote for?” banner.
This isn’t some bad joke where we can’t vote for either to tease the commenter mention in the post right?
I agree with JT… put 2 totally 100% hot black men against each other. Not that anything is wrong with either of these guys, but there are way hotter black guys out there. But then again, you’re going from People’s sexiest men alive.
Anyway, my vote is for John Legend, Nick Cannon is still that whack kid from Nickelodeon and he tries to hard to be gangster and sexy. And his music sucks… no where near John Legend’s music!
I agree about what people are saying. Neither of those guys do it for me, I thought Chestnut was delicious.
And I have to say if Taye Diggs weren’t already married (that whore!) I would be all over that in a heartbeat.
the comment saying that a black guy wont ever win anything and two black guys couldn’t win against each other is an unfounded generalization. Pick the right guys and they’re sure to win.
Honestly Michael. I would do Taye Diggs even if it meant I had to do him and his wife in a 3 way.
john legend for the win. i have all of his cds, he’s adorable and a very talented musician
i’m also of the opinion that there are better “options” out there.
better options, or at least, better pictures.
(which i’ve mentioned before.)
otherwise, i’d likely be inclined to vote for Johnny Boy, up there.
(if i were able to vote.)
but there’s Rambo, from raging stallion.
erik hunter (before the weight loss — l.o.l.).
Common.
LL Cool J.
michael st. patrick.
and a ton of others.
Even if you post two black men against each other, still a black man can not win anything in this site: A voting window does not work. What a self-fulfilling prophecy….lol
Nick Cannon all the way – no doubt about it – he’s the man!!!
Have you seen John Legend shirtless? If you would have posted that pic, he would be winning by a landslide.
legend is adorable
Next time leave Nick Carey off.
Hands down John Legend. He can sing me right out of my pants.
I would go for John Legend. but if you put him against his brother Vaughn Anthony, he might lose.
