I'm going in April... I am not a HUGE fan but I enjoy his music, and besides, I didn't have to pay for it :) Apparently he puts on a really good show so I'm looking forward to it.

You guys heard his two new ones? He's played "Hummingbird" and "Distance" at recent concerts. ... Pretty cool.

Well I've got 6+ hours of his mp3s ... 3 concerts and a bunch of other video files on my comp ... his dvd ... Room For Squares ... Heavier Things ... and can play a lot of his songs including rare stuff ... I think I'd be the most obsessed fan here, but who knows.

I'm starting to like Jason Mraz's stuff more ... check him out if you haven't already.

Oh and I'm seeing him perform in April too.
:cool: Can't wait.

haha, he's funny when he sings... you gotta love the facial expressions.
i really liked his stuff in the first and second album, but i was pretty disappointed in the third one (heavier things or something like that)
his lyrics are the sweetest. he's so damn talented!

I love John Mayer! His facial expressions and him slobbering all over the microphone make me cringe though :| His songs are so sweet though, I listen to them constantly.

john mayer is shit
he plays the soppy girly card way too much
and he has thousands of screaming girls, so he must be doing it right and well.

personally i think hes got good talent in playing and singing, although some songs are quite bad. (ie body is a wonderland)

I like a few of his songs but not a huge fan overall... I went to see his concert (someone else paid :)) and I thought the supporting act was better than him :p

I adore JM. Unfortunately a lot of people can't see past songs like Your Body Is A Wonderland [of which I still like most versions]; he's a great songwriter and his guitar playing is fantastic. Shame about the 'guitar faces' though. ;)
I've got copies of about 30 different concerts, ranging from 1999 to this month, and each one has something special about it. He's not an artist who sings a song the same each time; he'll improvise, he'll cover different songs in the middle, he'll do an extended solo, and he really involves the audience in the show. Great performer. :)
A lot of people don't like the 'pop song' quality of his music, but there's still songs like Covered In Rain and Come Back To Bed that get away from that.

Victoria is a really sad song. My understanding is that it's not about something that actually happened, but still, it's so upsetting. LA Song reminds me of it a lot too, they're both really emotional. :(
