John Legend's performance of a Prince classic at the Democratic National Convention didn't exactly have everyone going crazy, as some fans think it was an "insult" to have him play the song.

TMZ broke the story that John would be taking the stage at the United Center in Chicago Wednesday night -- but what we didn't know is he'd be singing "Let's Go Crazy" alongside longtime Prince collaborator Sheila E.

Truth is John sounded like ... well, John Legend -- who's an EGOT-winning success. Still, the soul singer doesn't sound like Prince, so some folks think he was the wrong choice to play the upbeat anthem ... right before Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz took the stage to accept the nomination for Vice President.

However, she says it was heartening to see how fans in the Austrian city banded together after learning 3 suspects allegedly planned to set off bombs in the stadium and commit mass stabbings and chaos outside of it -- and that's when she turned her focus and concern to protecting fans at her next tour stop ... London's Wembley Stadium.
