I think that all of you that say you hate John Mayer are morons. Obviously you don't have an ear for good music and you would rather listen to music that is computer generated with lyrics that repeat themselves a thousand times. John Mayer is truly original in that he can write AND sing his own songs. He doesn't care only about his self-image, he cares about making music that people enjoy and can relate to. You can't say that about many people. His lyrics have true meaning and are significant to what kind of a person he is and what he stands for. That's just my opinion so all of you Britney fans can go back to listening to songs that have no meaning. Period.
None of the people who posted in this thread are Britney fans, as far as I know. If there is one genre I absolutely can't stand, it's pop. Most people who post in the music forum are the same way. I listen to bands like Incubus, Nirvana, Metallica, Green Day, blink-182, Pearljam, SOAD, in short anything BUT what you described. Incubus lyrics have just as much meaning as John Mayer's, and Brandon Boyd has a fantastic voice.
First of all, don't criticize him because his music is sometimes considered to be pop. I believe that his music can be considered pop because the majority of his audience are girls. Many of them merely listen to his music because they think he's hot. I listen to him because I understand his music and can relate to his lyrics (being hot is just a bonus). I think the only reason why you "hate" him is because his music can be considered pop. Do me a favor, look out the window and tell me if you can see flying pigs. If you do, then John's voice is weird. And if you think that Brandon Boyd's voice is better...you need your hearing checked.
Score, I'll criticize him for being a shitty musician. I think it's funny that you claim if I don't like him, I must not know what good music is. Talk about hypocrisy. You want quality music? Pick up some Tool, My Bloody Valentine, Nine Inch Nails, Einstuerzende Neubauten, KMFDM, Led Zeppelin, Flaming Lips, Kinks or something of equal quality - John Mayer is NOT in that group.
If you can relate to his crappy lyrics and actually feel something when you listen to his music, you're most likely an idiot. But I gleaned that already.

wow..that so awesome that he went to your high school and one of your friends knew him!! And as for you smitten..i don't have anything to say to you other than go to hell. I am not going to argue with you anymore because honestly, I don't give a shit what you think. Go and talk in some forum where people might give a damn what you say and have the same interests as you. I'm not the one wasting my time and energy by going into forums of bands that I am not interested in and saying shit about them to create arguments. Now who's the idiot?!? Seriously...grow up.
It's funny that you claim to be all high and mighty, so above petty internet fights, when you earlier insisted that people who don't like John Mayer are morons. Riiiight.
Can anyone say 'hypocrite'?
I think I just pissed you off because I'm right. As usual. Now respond in inanity like a good little puppet
And, lastly, I'm not insulting John Mayer to spur fights...I'm insulting him because music today is so pathetic, and it weighs heavily on my soul.

Don't have to spit my words back to me. I know what I said. I am not an idiot nor am I a hypocrite..I believe that anyone who says they hate John Mayer is a moron because hate is such a strong word. I don't hate any type of music..of course there are types of music that I dislike but at least I don't go into those forums and say that I hate them. You would be pissed too if I went into a Tool or KMFDM forum and started saying shit like they suck and I hate them. You say that you don't purposely try to start fights...did you ever think to not say anything?! Oh wait...I see what happened. Your gigantic ego got in the way of your thought processes. "Because I'm right. As usual." Talk about egotistical... Although I disagree, I can live with the fact that you think John has a "weird" voice but you can't deny the fact that he is a great guitar player. Maybe you should criticize someone with NO talent such as Hilary Duff...although she has mastered the art of lip syncing quite well. Do yourself a favor and stop criticizing music that other people enjoy. It's just not worth it. Turn on MTV and you will find your pathetic music such as Britney, Hilary and Usher. You can criticize them. Think about it...they would be nothing without their computer generated music and lyrics. John Mayer can make amazing music without any of that. Oh and by the way...you need to work on your massive ego. It will not get you anywhere in life.
