Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, anyone?

[dreayh]

Anybody into Jack Johnson's soft rock and Jason Mraz's songs??

[jingnuu]

Jason Mraz is REAL cool!! his songs are kinda lyke Jay's in sum ways
and da lyricz are juz damn awesome!!
:excited: my frnd sent his songs to me.. haha.. dunno where she knew him from... is he a new guy?

but den i'v neva heard of jack johnson....

[dreayh]

Oooh.finally! Hey Jingnuu, do you happen to be in yahoo group's "Jay_zhou"?
Yea, I love Jason Mraz too! Which songs are your favourite? Do you have his album? Its so good!
I think Jason Mraz is pretty new to the music scene, he has only one album out on the market and its relatively new. YOu should get it...
Yah, I think not many people heard of him so its sad...he's a good musician who writes his own songs(like Jay) and he can play the guitar..

[fat_penguin]

havent heard of jack johnson..
but i've never heard anyone say they didnt like Jason Mraz's song, "the Remedy", which is the only one i've heard..

[GaryDAI]

never heard of them but I do like soft rock. Care to point me in the direction of where I can dl a couple songs?

Recommend any?

Thanks :happy:

[dreayh]

Hey GaryDai,
You can try a couple of Jason Mraz's songs:
The Remedy, Curbside Prophet, You and I both, No Stopping Us, Absolutely Zero.
Hey Fat_penguin, these are a couple of other good Jason Mraz's songs...frankly, I love the whole album!
Jack Johnson's songs are very very mellow, I don't know if they are classified as soft rock, but thats what my friend told me, you can check them out :)
Flake, Times like these, Traffic in the sky, Cupid, Brushfire fairytales, Middleman, The News.
Yep, hope these helps...once you listened to them, let me know if you liked or disliked any of them...
Peace

[GaryDAI]

ah thxs I'll try to find those songs :excited:

[fat_penguin]

ah thxs I'll try to find those songs :excited:

yepyep.. me too! thanks :)

[cici bebe]

i like Jason Mraz so far.. only heard "The Remedy" on the radio but I love it! The chorus sounds great.. the verses kind of sound like country but once it gets to the chorus.. =d

[zhy378]

I kinda have heard of jack johnson but not his music and I just saw the music video of the Remedy this week and that's the only song i heard by Jason Mraz.

[fieryred]

like everyone else, ive only heard of jason mraz's remedy... i have no clue who jack johnson is though.

[dreayh]

jack Johnson's a surfer turned singer, he plays the guitar for all his songs, his songs are surfy, relaxing soft rock. I love it!
Yep, Jason Mraz's Remedy is a good song, very poppy and catchy...he has alot of other good songs in his album, if you think remedy is good, you all should try the other songs :)

[her_TRD]

I love Jason Mraz, (just saw him perfom on "The Tonight show"). Picked up his album a while back, I like it, but I have to say his live performances are so much more captivating, he's got one studio album, and one live album, I've ordered his live album on his site, cause you can't get it in stores...but..if you like coffee house music, definately give the live stuff a listen!

[dreayh]

ooh..i want that live album too! What is the url of the site? =)

[Viv]

I don't really know any of them but I've heard Jason Mraz's ''The Remedy'' and I love it! I'm always playing it on my Kazaa...hehe such an awesome song...his looks arent that bad either...

[her_TRD]

the site that u can order his live album is http://www.jasonmraz.com, just navigate to the album (or discography or something to that extent..) section and it should give u a link to order...
if u're not in the US the postage is a bit pricy...
but still..get it get it!!

[denise88]

they're really both great artists and both have unique style of music. i like curbside prophet and no stopping us for jason mraz and flake for jack johnson :D

[ChoirChick212]

I love Jason Mraz. It's really strange because I would ask all of my friends if they knew who he was and they would say "NO!" And now, all of a sudden, they're like "OMG! I know this guy named Jason Mraz and he's such a good singer!" I just look at them and smile. Oh, and Jack Johnson's really good too. His songs are so mellow and nice to relax to. They got this Hawaiian vibe to them

[the one]

jason mraz has some GREAT acoustic songs...my fave onez are "sleep all day", "no stopping us", "you and i both", and "the remedy"...he coud probably be compared to john mayer as a similarity...it's funny how i first discovered jason'z music in the airplane while i was listening to the airplane radio with my headphones on...hahaha...pretty cool, huh? 8-)

[nycgirls]

MUST...SUPPORT...JACK...JOHNSON!!!

I am gonna voice for him since less than 10 people heard of him. His music is mellow, but it feels like he's talking to you when he sings. Very soothing indeed, even some songs that he's talkin' about girls. (not pertaining to female audiences....LOL :D ) But you rrreeaally gonna try his album Brushfire Fairytales in a sunny morning (around 9-11am... gosh I am setting the time?! :whistle: )~~ ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A WINDOW THAT HAS SUNLIGHT COMING IN IN THE MORNING! OR YOU LIVE IN A SINGLE ROOM, OR IN A DORM WITH A COOL ROOMIE... :tongue:

[cinsin]

I LOVE Jack Johnson's new album 'In Between Dreams'. I love how mellow his songs are and his lyrical works are brilliant, it really is like he's talking to you and telling youa story.

I only just recently became a fan of his and nearly cried when I heard that I just missed out on seeing him in concert in March. I guess I'll just have to wait until the concert DVD comes out =(

btw I'venever heard of Jason Mraz...Am I the first? lol

[batman]

i really like Jack Johnson's sound...very mellow and soft...quite relaxing...my favourite song is 'Sitting, Waiting, Wishing'.....i'm trying to find it on the net but i can't seem to......i also like the MV to the song...so cool how everthing is bakwards.....

[lovingjay]

I know only JaSON Mraz. When I first heard his song on the radio, I knew I needed to get the album. It's pretty nice.
But then, today, my friend told me the nasty side of him.
His album title, waiting for my rocket to come, has a double meaning and the chicken that sits next to him on the front cover can be referred to by another word...
but he's still cool to me!

[PocketLighter]

JACK JOHNSON ROCKS!~~ hes soo awesome.. great songs to listen to while driving, road rage disappears!
i love "in between dreams".. awesome album.. and u cant help but to sing along and forget bout the world =D
go buy his album, u will not be disappointed.

[jaychou_21]

I like Jason Mraz! He's got cool music,man! :realcool:
He's a good performer too! :shiny: And I love some of his songs -
You and I Both,
The Remedy,
Curbside Prophet,
Melt with you.
I'm even surprised he's eager to do a rendition - his own version -
of Christina Aguilera's Beautiful
Who's Jack Johnson anyway? :?

[mrazfan4ever]

Omg, I LOVE Jason Mraz!! *points to username* My favorite song has to be "Not So Usual" and "Absolutely Zero"...."Geek In The Pink" is not far either :D

Mr. A-Z, his latest work, will be coming out July 26th...so make sure to go buy it!!!

Tonight, Not Again is an awesome cd/dvd...the live concert is amazing....but the screaming fans in the background is a bit annoying...o'well, it's Jason.

I like Jack Johnson! In Between Dreams is a cool cd and my favorite track is "Banana Pancakes"

Jason Mraz *whoot whoot*

[jaychou_21]

Almost four months after I asked who is Jack Johnson,I finally get to know him. :rolleyes:
I eventually saw his latest music video entitled Breakdown and yeah,
I think his music sounds cool - mellow,soft,country-style... I like it. :wink2:
I even uploaded the song,the MV actually. :happy: Here it is:
Jack Johnson - Breakdown MV (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=33WIXK6T) :shiny:

[junnleenfaah]

its only mostly american people who know of jack johnson, right? i havent heard of any other countires that really know of him/carry out his popularity. his music kinda reminds me of john mayer's music but definitely more mellow than john mayer's. i recently started listening to jack johnson.. he's got a couple good songs (= i like "times like these" and "good people". i think "good people" is one of his more popular songs?

[jayluva1]

jason mraz is so awesome! he's so cute! i love his song wordplay! it's got such a nice tone. and i like how he sings fast! it's like rapping but its better!

hmm... even some people in america dont know who is jack johnson, includin me:angel: but his name does ring a bell, sounds familiar.

i like jason's song "geek in the pink" the music video is rather cute, like he's tryin to be a dork other on the streets. hehe.

zhy: There's already a music video for Geek in the Pink?! :excited:
I love that song. I'm looking forward to watching the MV one of these days.

Jack Johnson's songs in the Curious George soundtrack are really cool. :realcool:
But uh, I don't understand both he and Jason were snubbed by the Grammys. :dry:

[junnleenfaah]

ommggggg, i've been waiting for the day taht this thread would be resurrected. I'VE BEEN WANTING TO POST IN HERE SO BADLY. hehe.

yeah so, jason mraz has pretty much become one of my most favorite artists now. everybody should definitely go buy Mr. A-Z [which is probably the most creative album name i've ever seen in my life]. AAAAAND go LEGALLY download "i'm yours" [it's not on any of his CDs except for like an EP or something like that] "i'm yours" is definitely my favorite jason mraz song.. it's totally worth your buck .08 on iTunes.

i wish jason mraz would have concerts in the states )= i think he's having one in singapore tomorrow if i'm not mistaken. times like these i wish i was in singapore.. haha.

some of my favorite songs from Mr.A-Z: o. lover, life is wonderful, plane

[simple_love]

Johnson all the way, his music is totally calming yet hypes you up the same time

Mraz has a few good songs on his album but thats about it, his talent blows

[yee82]

I love Jason Mraz's lyrical wordplay!! The way that he uses his impressive vocabulary to convey his meaning *wow* He is the only non-asian songwriter i know who is able to do it

[willywutang]

Jack Johnson is a great artist and his songs on the Curious George soundtrack is very good. I also like Jason Mraz. Both Waiting for My Rocket to Come and Mr. A-Z are great albums. His first cd had quite a bit of good songs and the same can be said for Mr. A-Z. Wordplay was especially good on his second album.

[lovingjay]

junnleenfaah I totally just heard I'm Yours and am currently listening to it over and over again!!! I really like this song. the lyrics are pretty nice. His blog on myspace is so cool. He writes long entries about random stuff. But he isn't really touring that much now....

[atomik86]

i really like jason mraz. i have both of his albums and i saw him in concert. he can really perform, sounds great live. i like how he's a good blend of acoustic, rock, hip hop, funk, pop. i like his choice of doing variety, similar to chinese artists. most artists in taiwan like to dabble in various styles unlike american music where they focus on one style and one style only. jack johnson's really good. i enjoy his light cali-acoustic rock. its really melodic and catchy. he makes those easy sing-a-long songs. its great

[topghurl]

ei i just listened to jack johnson recently and i think hes great :)))

sometimes he sounds like john mayer...

i like "never know" and "banana pancakes" :))))

[nibbles]

JASON MRAZ!!! My favourite boy! Well, one of my favourites. I highly recommend his live performance. His albums are good, but watching him sing live is even better. Even if you've never heard of him, go to one of his shows.. it'll blow your mind away.
Jack Johnson's got such a soothing voice.. I quite like too :D

[zhoudaoyan]

i L.O.V.E jack johnson's style!
so soothing.. yet catchy

everytime i hear his songs i feel so relaxed.. and happy :)

[kwonsang26]

I love Jason Mraz,but of course I love Jay more lol.Jason's song "Remedy" will always be my favorite song from him.

There's just something really sexy about that man in that song & how he sings with that sexy voice also lol.But almost all his songs are enjoyable to listen to though.^^:bleh:

[junnleenfaah]

ha, i don't know if i could really consider jason mraz's voice as "sexy", but it is good =P it's more.. mellow-folkish sounding to me, hahaha. what a turn around from sexy.

he's been doing all these shows around europe.. when will he come back to the US, aaahhh ):

does anyone know if he's coming out with another album anytime in the future?

[kwonsang26]

Lol I don't know junnleenfaah,I guess it's how he sings the song.Because he sings kind of fast at first almost like rapping & then the chorus when he goes "heyyyyyy,I won't worry my life awayyyyyyyy."lol

I think it may have a different effect on different people I guess lol.But hey,why don't join me,harms,jeannie,wendy,& julie over at the social lounge for some diao chat sometimes.You can call me xiao if you want lol.^^:wave:

[tazhs]

i love Jason Mraz too!! i love his songs Geek In The Pink and Wordplay! they are super catchy and awesome! and he's super smart at rhyming too.

Jack Johnson ain't that bad either. his new song If I Had Eyes is cool! the lyric is super cute too.
