Finding Emo wrote:"Why Georgia" is actually a pretty good song. Great songwriting in it, I think. But other than that, I don't like John Mayer.

And I don't understand people's infatuation with him. He sounds like a complete jackass in interviews.


He also looks like he's constipated when he sings.


there you have it folks
the key to success john mayer style... look constipated while you sing :lol:
go fuck yourself.

i never liked john mayer much either. but after seeing him not only perform on MOD, but watching the I&I on MuchMoreMusic, i must say i am completely infatuated with him and his music. i think he's so cute in a weird way. he's like nerd-cool. i dont know. and his songs are also amazing... i fell in love with Bigger Than My Body the first time i heard it. And i love every other song of his i've heard, and im in the process of downloading a bunch.
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know

I thought I'd revive this thread to suggest that everyone download 'comfortable', I think it's an older song but I could be wrong . . . anyway, really beautiful song, I think he really has a good grasp on what relationship can be like.

I've never heard any of his stuff other than the singles :freak: . At first I thought he was just another jack ass. I hated his first two singles, but I have to admit, I actually kinda like Why Georgia and Bigger than my Body.
don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

John Mayer is an exceptional guitarist... i saw him in Boone NC about two and a half years ago before anyone knew who he was... he can really play the guitar, and his early stuff with just him and his guitar is awesome...

but like most pop stars, they have to please the masses to become pop stars, and to stay pop stars.,... so when john mayer broke down and signed a record deal, the company added all this crappy stuff to his music and made him sing about crap.. so who is to blame... mayer for signing his soul over to a record company, or the record company for making another musician a pop star?

or is it just Bob Dole all over again...

Yeah, he is a kick-ass guitarist, but it seems like he is only able to write cliché pop music lyrics.

see, i think he is doing what he wants to do. his music has been consistant and he isnt the type of person to play music to sell records. I do think he is doing what he wants to do. its a shame that he wants to play crap is all.
