I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I just want to say that I was BEYOND ebullient to learn that the most talented songwriter in music today won Best Solo Pop Performance for "Make It Mine" in addition to Best Pop Collaboration for "Lucky" f/ Colbie Caillat at the Grammy's Pre-telecast awards. I think he is the bees knees, truly one of the most important artists in music today. Don't let "The Remedy", "Geek In The Pink" and "I'm Yours" fool you - this guy is the real deal. Check out his non-album material if you don't believe me. He is a huge musical fan to boot and I hope someday he will write a great score for Broadway, which he deeply loves. GO JASON!
MRAZ FANS UNITE!

I can't stand him, but if otis33 wanted to listen to him when he made love to me that would be okay.
I thought that was OUR plan
I love love love Mr. Mraz (as you well know P)!
I think his song Butterfly is the sexiest song of 2009.

I'm torn. I love Jason Mraz but every single thing PGenre likes sucks. I can only assume P has never heard Jason Mraz.
Join me and PRS, Spider. Mr. Mraz is all about sharing the love.

Yeah Deep down I know Jason would want me to just give in and join the love love love fest.
I'm a little obsessed with Jason Mraz!
and Tazber..I love Butterfly. That song is sooo hot. I have to tell friends to listen..just LISTEN to these lyrics!! Rawr!!
Jason is my absolute favorite artist of all time. "10,000 Motherf***ers" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. My favorite of his.
Congraulations, Mr. A-Z!
So nice to see all the love 'round here for Jason!
ColorTheHours, you are SO right, as someone who prides himself on knowing just about every Mraz song, "10,000 Motherf*ckers" is undoubtedly in the Top 10 of all time. I would ALSO put the sequel he wrote to it, "Childlike Wildlife", in his Top 10.
Other favorites of mine include: "All Dialed In", "The Only Life You Can Save", "God Rests In Reason", "Galaxy" and, my all-time favorite, "Miss Heather & Mr. Grey". None of those songs I listed are on any of his studio albums, though a few pop up on live albums. If you are a fan of his studio stuff I HIGHLY recommend seeking out the HUNDREDS of other, more controversial/edgy songs he has written as the studio likes Jason one way while Jason himself is quite different from the hippie/stoner image they like him to have.
Also, he promises a new album this year and has already laid down a bunch of tracks for it! SUPER excited! The new songs he has premiered in the last few months at concerts are some of his best ever, right up there with those great songs he wrote during his hot writing streak in '03-'04!

I've recently enjoyed a Mraz renaissance of my own...I really need to find these tracks you mention, Pgenre. They sound fantastic. I had an "If It Kills Me" (from the Casa Nova sessions) phase after last summer's fantastic Travis Wall routine on SYTYCD, and love "The Dynamo of Volition" as well. I need to delve deeper!
jason mraz should be killed for his crimes against music.
broadwaybaby, if you're a Mraz fan be sure to check out his blog at freshnessfactorfivethousand.com! Lots of cool stuff there!

Self-esteem building in the public schools has been taken waaaay too far.

Only with the jabby joy Pgenre brings to soooooo much of his writing.
Jabby Joy!?
Wansn't that a cartoon from the 70's? About a shark?
Now THAT is some social commentary with bite.

Yeah, he was a shark who traversed the galaxy, right?
Or was that Josie and the Pussycats?
And was Jabber Jaw really just J & the PC with a really big fish?

They were rock stars like Jason Mraz is a rock star.
When one is easily imitated by fictional ass-rape victim Joseph Gordon-Levitt, one should not be termed a 'rock star'.
P.S. I went to PRIVATE school, you troglodytes.
Keep up the bitchery!
