John Mayer CNN Music Room

[JamesMcCrindle131]

that was new deep not clarity -.-

[TheLegitimateNinja]

i didnt understand a word he said... so mysterious

[xxgg55]

cmon! coldplay! John is way past them

[Bluemgwes]

WOWWWW they said "Clarity" when "New Deep" was playing...way to go CNN...way to go...

[ajak568]

When he talks about Bigger than My Body, it's like a premonition. This was before he released Continuum.

[AmazingThirst]

John Mayer > Cold Play i'm sorry but thats just what i think

[sthnwatch]

I can relate to that. I think I'll go and get it from iTunes right now! Thank God for musical expression.

[MarcVanKay]

wow cnn 1:52 is new deep not clarity. cable news network my ass

[element1120]

doesnt alicia keys look baked?

[joshyman12312]

pot definitely helps with his mellow

[Jaylasplenty]

CNN knows truth...that's why I don't watch Fox News. There's a lot of love on that News bar scroll and above it too.

[dusthaze]

..what a FUCKIN WANKER.

[dobbsiancant]

@dusthaze you took the word right out of my mouth.shmuck and prat were entertained by the cortex,but wanker sums it up,doesn't it?

[bjhMus1C]

2:09

[baom67]

something similar ....Australia's Brett O'Malleys debut single Amazing Life,,,,cooool Tune!

[funkyjim]

Why does the caption say "Clarity" at 1:52 when the song isn't Clarity?

[JKtennisdude]

Can we just look at this CNN headline on the bottom scroll? "Doctoral student in Britain uses lasers to find out just why cookies crumble; says findings should help manufacturers bake perfect biscuit." 5:20

[TheOkanokazuya]

you are the gift from heaven John :) plz come to VIetnammmmmm

[Southwind1989]

Coldplay and John Mayer are really two great artists.

[bboyxchristian]

genius.

[dougsusername]

"Become more mellow" @ 2:10 ... started smoking weed and after that he put out Continuum, enough said.

[A7X514]

they wrote clarity on the screen when it was new deep

[easty7]

John Mayer- Assassin (Music Video) Now Up On Youtube!

[LobuhSheng]

I wonder if he will ever have sex with an hispanic woman? hmmmmmm..........

[oliverandm]

Man John has i gift that i hope i might be evolving slowly, i've only been playing 2 and half years, but i've been told several times by people all around that i'm way ahead of my years of playing the guitar and singing - if it's true, then i can't wait to see where i am in 3-4 years, John is definetely one of my biggest influences, he is so honost and nothing he makes is halfass'd, it's always spot on in it's own way! Overproduced or not, he knows how to create music!

[axestar34]

you'll probably die alone in a small town working at wal-mart , wasting away on drugs and alcohol

[doyouknoe]

AWESOME

[doyouknoe]

AWESOME,FUNNY,SMART AND KUTE

[SandyPrincessPatty]

what's the song at the end called?

[DMBFAN513]

its called "Something's Missing" that version is from the live album called Any Given Thursday

[katully97]

@SandyPrincessPatty somethings missing



[TheRickSpringer]

comparing john mayer and coldplay? i don't get it. because they use falsetto? did they run out of questions to ask?

[CGColeman6]

@TheRickSpringer Yeah wtf is up with that?????!!!!

[fiztech]

how many what.....

fine. but personally i dont think its going to be a good guitarist.

he is very clean and has nice music. and i really just starting to learn about his pop music. i think hes a nice person.

[legendaryedge]

i like how at 1:53 it says its playing clarity when new deep is going on in the background lolol

[PrincessShittyBottom]

RIP.

[PrincessShittyBottom]

He should go out with Natalie Portman.

[mancshawn]

yeah im in the UK and ive only just heard of john mayer! its a shame hes not out there as much in the UK...........

[MJBJoker]

same, hes a fukin gnius but it seems like no one has heard of him in the uk, it sucks ,

[PaintedTearz]

I love him and I live in the UK. I wish he would come over here.

[blaura91]

He is doing a tour! but it's only like three or four dates. I wanted to see him in Manchester but it's sold out! :(

[dukefiya]

1:55 dominican flag!!! lol

[lXJoseOleXl]

lol at 2:21 i thought he was playing left handed until i realized it was a reflection

[Avnsbol]

Why the fuck is she talking like that? =P

You're awesome JM

[nthsieh928]

they call "new deep" clarity

[HuckleberrySlim]

lol

[thecoffinilaidin]

john is so good at speaking words that are people's hidden thoughts. speaks a keen self-awareness.

[schmitty4892]

how many people noticed they had new deep playing in the background but labeled it clarity

[Avnsbol]

what's with the accent....?

[neptune60]

coldplay are shit, why does noone else agree with me?

[JimiGoode]

i agree, im glad that Joe Satriani is sueing them

[sportsportsport]

I fucking agree with you!.. They raped Joe satriani. :(

[scarfaceAE21]

i didnt hear about that... why is he suing them?

[sportsportsport]

to scarfaceAE21: regarding coldplay vs satch. Coldplay used a guitar melody from joe's track 'if i could fly' and used it on 'viva la vida' (coldplay), and used the same exact chord progression and timing. Watch some vids on youtube!... :)

[Scruffy578]

Someday I will use John Mayer's crap face to wipe the crap off my elephant's ass. My elephant's name is Mr. Shite Drawers:)

[bronenalladin]

???

[guitar2adam]

the amazing thing about great musicians is how they are thinking ahead and writing the hits of next year while they tour on the hits of the year they're on. i'm sure at this point in john's life, continuum was beginning to take shape.

[Sakurautada]

Which coldplay song is that?

[Burton82190]

The Scientist

[superface5853]

alicia keys wants to fuck john

[CruelMrMayhem]

He shouldnt compare himself to coldplay, their so much better

[iloovemick]

hes a lot better looking now..

[Sakurautada]

I think cause he's got new hair now

[alligater20]

the man embodies "realness"

its a cathartic experience just listening to his music

in another interview he said something about how he loves it when people sing along because it's words they've always thought but never been able to say...that is so true

[slashrocks768]

Continuum came after that!!

Love it, wow, what a road ahead past Continuum etc...so hard to swallow. I spose we'll learn whenever new album is out!

Great interview

[dvddq]

yeahhh I felt like the high pitch voice, was similar to chris martin's... love both

[sijimijimi]

He only loves MUSIC.

MUSIC found him.

[crudemood]

every sentence that comes out of his mouth is so poetic!

[farrah2467]

@crudemood You think the same way I do in that case, that's so funny that it's not only me who says that. I watched an inerveiw and I commented on it and said that he speaks so poetically. ahhhh discoveries...

[Cbluesrocker]

@crudemood it use to anyway.

[ajak568]

@crudemood But only when he talks about music. ;)

[rocknrollgirlfrnd17]

There's NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING IN LOVE WITH JOHN MAYER!!!

-Can we help it?

[moejobe]

im a guy but not gay and i cant help it either. such an amazing talent. crime not to like his music.

[rocknrollgirlfrnd17]

Haha,that's very true!

[idd405]

YES SIREE

[lizardking05]

he looks a lot like rob thomas

[Sakurautada]

A lil' i guess. . . ya kinda

[lizardking05]

hes such a baller dude and at 5:02

[RedSox990]

Not only do I think I love John Mayer.

I know I love him.

Beyond love.

love you johnny.

[fuzzybunny05]

i so agree!!! ive been in love w/ john mayer for like ever!!!

[deepsky23]

im in the closet about my love for john. its weird. im a normal girl, im 29, im in med school, i dont have signed posters all over, i havnt been to a bunch of his show, but i think about his face and his music all the time. first in the morning, before i go to bed and for at least 1/5th of my day, everyday. am i weird? what do i do with that? we need support groups, right ladies?

[timijai22]

naw, i'd say that's pretty normal. i'm a pretty big fan of him, man crush if you wanna gay it up. but i don't wish i was him or could be his best friend or anything like that. i just have a huge amount of respect for him as a fellow guitarist. and unlike a lot of people who're famous or getting recognition, you look at them and go "wtf, why are they there" but with mayer, you know why and you know he deserves it. if anything, he's not getting enough recognition.

[timijai22]

but i think that's the way he wants it. and that's probably a good thing, i'd hate to think that if we, as a whole, learned too much about him we'd lose interest and would move on to the next thing and he'd fade away or be harder to find.

[jakedeving]

haha wow... you got good grammer? he has a thing for chicks that have good grammer:P

[sportsportsport]

haha! I am a heterosexual 19yr old male, but I think about him and his music all the time! I play guitar so I love playing his songs, but I watch 'where the light is 'DVD like everyday and then when im walking to uni I listen to the CD live version on my Ipod. I cannot wait for a new album or a tour in UK.

[JACA7XGNR]

do you no if he's coming to the uk?

[sportsportsport]

Yo dude, not sure. Check his website frequently. I think he is so popular in the US he doesn't need to play smaller venues in the UK - maybe. Because he is hardly if ever publicized on popular television and press over in the UK. The only leading exposure he has to the general public of UK is his relationship to Jennifer Anniston; not his music (unfortunately). Also, I heard he doesn't like flying.

[HeartBeatOfYourLife]

He'll probably (hopefully) go on tour when he releases "Battle Studies". I live in Sweden and I find myself with the same problem! I know that he's been here before, but he needs to pay another visit!

[MarieMandela]

He needs to come to Scandinavia, yes. Denmark, too! (:

[auroraa606]

And Norway !

[uuunbreakable]

i think i'm in love with John Mayor.

[o0o0gosHh]

MAYER

[xxxlissybooxxx]

when i watched you in interviews John your words mean so much x

[JMraiderssoccer06]

he looks hott in this

[JMfan7]

Dude...my icon right there...so well spoken and intelligent. Best song writer of our time.

[12AX7power]

for the infuences he has and the music he can actually write, this all sounds like commercial scrap that hes forced to do. I cant believe that he even went on Idol, that is not a place for true musicians like him.

[mrsj0hnmayer]

john mayer is a sexy beast

[Contradiction11]

Cool interview, thanks for that. And CNN messed up. At 2:00 the song playing is "New Deep", not "Clarity". But then if you watched this you knew that.

[AxisBoldAsLove1967]

he's discussing clarity

[AxisBoldAsLove1967]

ivwe never seen that blue strat before and ive seen almost every mayer video

[cholechadizzle]

It's off of the Any Given Thursday DVD.

[AxisBoldAsLove1967]

yeah ive been meaning to get that

that blue and the cream white are the nicest strat colors by far

[cholechadizzle]

Yeah they are the nicest colors. And you really should get the Any Given Thursday DVD. It's awesome!

[VanCityKyle]

Yeah Any Given Thusday is the best Live DVD album i have ever watched in my life. It is John at his best! Best Performance ive seen in my life on AGT!!!

[cholechadizzle]

Yeah it is awesome!

[QUEENCZAR]

JOHN ..............

[lizlovestaylor]

thank you for this...great interview!  jm is so adorable.

[tw0k1ngs]

What the hell is with the reversed video? Left handed?

[projectasscream]

it was a shot of a trophy case and his reflection was in it. thats why it looked left handed
