something has happened recently.
you would think with no more singles coming out (regardless of a supposided live album sometime soon), that the jason mraz hatred fevor would be dying down. that it isnt as fun as it used to be, since people arent clipping articles and mailing them to me. or calling me to tell me he is on tv.
im still pretty mad (when i waste the brain power) on being refused an autograph.
but, i am happy to report, others have not let their hatred wane.
i have four exhibits here to share. let's dig in.
exhibit 1:
an email from jan 22nd:
Hey,
After seeing my first Jason Mraz's video I found myself struck with a nauseating rage. Man! I didn't know they're passing out record deals around the frat house to those guys who wear hemp around their necks and play bad versions of bad Dave Matthews Band songs. You were on the top 10 of a googled search of 'jason mraz sucks,' which is how I get my rage out apparently.
At least I'm not alone in this. A fucking sideways baseball cap? So 1989!
-Jon
dear jon, i would like to point out that mraz was hardly alive in 1989. (this isnt true of course, he was born, i believe in 1977, being the year behind me in high school. perhaps he just wants to still be 12.)
exhinit 2:
then on jan 23rd, i get this:
compleylt agree with you that Jason Mraz is the biggest fucking tool I've had the misfortune to hear, much less see. He needs to shut the fuck up and go home.
Jenna.
jenna, i agree. except simply going home isnt good enough - he lives in la now, which is where i live. and if he counts home as mechanicsville still, well, thats where i grew up and my parents still live. so thats no good either. what if he shuts up and moves to canada? that seems fair, right?
exhibit 3:
email gotten on the 26th.
man preach on my brotha. i hate jason mraz with all my being. i searched "jason mraz sucks" and this came up. god bless your soul. maybe one day i can tell you why i hate him so much and you can use it as a source to add fuel to this cause. keep it up!
well my friend, i didnt wait for you to explain before using you for my cause. and im not sure god will bless my soul as reward for my hatred, but who knows? he does work in mysterious ways.
exhibit 4:
a voicemail from a certain linda, which i will attempt to transcribe now:
from jan 24th, at 3:16am. (to be read in a drunken slur.)
"im just seeing this newest jason mraz video announcement [undecipherable] and um im going to go on and agree with [undeciperable] house and thought id call and i even hate the ugly mole on his left eye. that is all. goodnight."
linda, seeing as how i cant (after about 10 listenings) make out all the details and i know you were drunk since you dont remember making this call when i mentioned it a day or two later, ill just go on and agree with everything you said.
so there you have it - america still hates the mraz, even as i was starting to care less. (i even heard one of his songs in home despot the other night [jason - look. you got played right here in hollywood] and didnt freak out. of course, i didnt know it was him either.)
i LOVE jason mraz,
so what if hes almost twice my age.
hes beautiful.
Ilovehim.
:)
Hes the most beautiful person in the world, and his mole…
I just want to lick it.
yummm.
jason mraz is awesome.
hes more talented the most artists out there.
and lots of people like him soo.
jason mraz is the most talented musician i've heard. i can't imagine how anyone can hate him this much. he can speak what's on his mind without offending his fans. people can never got tired of the mr.a-z! he creates song which are unique… he never goes with the trends like most artists do… this makes him a very unique artist, he is open and that's what most people love about him… he is someone that only comes once in a decade… he loves music very much and he never gets tired of entertaining us because that's what he loves to do…
and to all mraz lovers out there… continue loving mraz…
but to all mraz haters… LEAVE MRAZ ALONE! dont bother him!
I love that this post still gets traffic.
Unique, seriously?
Have you READ the lyrics to "I'm Yours"? It's just a bunch of
lame
pick-up lines thrown together "I tried to be chill but you're so hot
that I melted"
Come ON, really - he makes himself cliche by pretending not to be, and
he just repeats himself over and over, words and verses - lalalalala
life, lalalala love yes, I suppose that lala is a good segway to the words life and love if
you are the most amateur unoriginal vocalist out there. Oh yes, and unless you are Mike D you should not go around referring to yourself in the third person with deafening (maybe I was just hoping to go deaf) whitey white boy rap. I cannot
believe that there are full-grown adults listening to him - I know
girls who wear Mraz t-shirts EVERYWHERE they go, like an obsession -
and they use his lyrics as excuses to make up imaginary relationships
with men who don't want anything to do with them. Then again, maybe
that's just one person I know, and she's fairly delusional, even has
Mr. A-Z as her number 1 friend on myspace, has a lyric (So Unusual)
tattooed across her back, and comments to his blogs, but seriously,
there are much more meaningful musicians that say much MUCH more
meaningful things than stupid shit like "It takes a crane to build a crane". Jason Mraz is like Hannah Montana for wanna-be
hippies and whores. Let me explain that last bit: I was searching for more people who hate Jason Mraz but mostly came on fan stuff, and there was this one girl who said that the song "I'm Yours" prompted her to leave her boyfriend to hook up with her ex. I've seen other girls say similar things, girls get crushes and then use Jason Mraz lyrics to tell themselves that it's requited, yikes, it's like an epidemic or something. Oh I hate him. To refer to an email above, I would rather
listen to Dave Matthews Band forever, with nothing else to hear, than
ever be subjected to another Jason Mraz lyric, and I mean that.
"to refer to an email above" if your friend is stupid enough to tattoo lyrics to her back and act like an ass thats her problem. how can you blame that on jason mraz. he is simply an entertainer and nothing else. hes not saying "Hey girls go break up with your boyfriends" and if they choose to use his lyrics as inspiration then good for them. jason mraz is a very good artist. you know what makes him good? HE CAN ACTUALLY SING! wow!! how about that a singer who can sing. unlike justin timberlake or gwen stefani he actually has a real talent. =)
I'm somewhere betwixt rolling on the floor with laughter and vomiting on myself…
This has to be the lamest site I have ever seen. Does it really matter what people think of Jason Mraz? Personally I think that if you listen to songs other than his singles (which only get put out because it's what the producers think that the general public wants to hear) the man has incredible talent. He's a poet, and he puts his writing to music. Not much different than anyone else out there. Seriously?? I've met the man, and he has to be one of the most down to earth, laid back, truly genuine men I have ever had the pleasure of conversing with. If you don't like Jason Mraz why in the world would you spend so much time making a website in order to squash him. That, if you ask me, is an incredible waste of time. And whomever it was that was upset about not getting an autograph….get over it. Would give an autograph to every freakin' fan that came your way if you were a celebrity. I doubt it. Your hand gets sore after a while I can imagine and sooner or later you have to actually get where you are going. Disappointing maybe but not worth hating the man over.
Once more into the breech…
To clarify, this site wasn't built as a hate site for the Mraz. That, I'm sure, was purely incidental. Check out madeofglass.com and you'll see that Mister Alphabet represents far less than a tenth of a percent of the content here. Tripp, the founder of the site, apparently went to school with this fellow, which, I believe, is the genesis of this particular, girl-vexing, site-flaming drama.
This recap was brought to you by CliffNotes!
Oh, that girl is so not my friend. She's an artificial skank, so Mr. A-Z is just perfect for her.
And on the "Jason Mraz has talent" retort, are you serious, I guess you are, but you are comparing crap to shit when you say that he can sing when put up against Timberlake or Stefani. What about REAL poets/artists/singers. It seems to me that Mr. A-Z talks only of love, and it's only soothing artificial croons (and no, he actually doesn't sing all that well, and he raps even worse) - he refers to himself in the third person, for crying out loud.
Maynard of Tool can sing.
Roger Waters can sing.
Ani DiFranco can sing (and coincidentally write much more meaningful poetry on a wide variety of topics)
Michael Patton is a poet, and he can also sing.
Of course, if you, to reiterate, compare shit to crap to turds, which is all most pop is - of course Mraz seems golden, but his is the same shitty pop spoonfed to middle school dances everywhere. To call him a poet is a slap in the face to all poets - Lord Byron would probably have cried were he alive to hear what you are calling poetry) and to hold Mraz as the pennacle of the shittiest musical genre there is means that whoever you are, you need to explore a few more options.
i love jason mraz he is my favorite artist alive. however i just got the new album and it prompted me to google "new jason mraz sucks", hence me ending up here. haha. my comment speaks for itself.
Jason Mraz sucks!!!!
to be fair i really have nothing against jason mraz or his mole. i was drunk, and it was a long time ago. although i may still take issue with his hat choices.
i think the last comment should bring this conversation to an ultimate conclusion. or maybe penultimate, seeing as i am still commenting.
I really have nothing to add.
You know who sucks worse than Jason Mraz?
People that like him so much that they won't shut the fuck up about him.
I mean honestly, is he really the "best singer out there right now"? Fuck no. The guy's a douche.
Just to re-cap:
Mr. A-Z = Douche
You are all very ignorant people for thinking that your opinion is wiser and smarter then anyone elses. Shut the fuck up if you don't like him. You're pathetic. Life isn't a bowl of shit so stop acting like every artist should sing about it like it is. fuckkkkkkkkers.
