He has one condenser mic picking up his entire performance. To get a balanced mix between his voice, and guitar, there is most likely a strong compression ratio bringing up all of the quiet sounds, and squashing the louder sounds. That is why it sounds like he is breathing exceptionally heavy between phrases.
Jason Mraz is awesome, "Lucky" is my fav song right now.!!! Check out a Hot pop/rock/reggae band from Vancouver BC. Search for "Brandon Paris Band + Say Goodbye + Much Music"
yeah he's crazy talented, and it's real special when there's a true artist like him out there. this song (as well as all of his others) are so from the heart...if totally obvious because he can play each song differently each time he performs..and plays his guitar with his eyes closed every time. but yeah i totally agree.
find me one person in this bloody earth that would disagree that this should be the no1 music video in youtube.....and for those who knows the t-shirt is fucking expensive...
I would have to disagree. It would be an impossible task to apply yourself to the personification of said "artists". Under the circumstances that you could imply any level of artistry composed of the subject, than I would accept the validity of your rebuttal.
And why is it impossible? Anyone can debate about any level of artistry, and so be it in musical form. What makes you so knowledgeable about this 'standard' of art, that you can question my abilities in comparing two 'artists' whom I believe in? Art, being such a transcendent and subjective subject that it is, has no absolute standard of which you're implying.
I began with eloquence and no punctuation, than diverged into proper English. You could probably dictate that the lack of continuity might have been a joke.
I have not been arguing the musicianship of Jason, but the semantics of your individual arguments.
I love Jason, he is an excellent guitarist, singer, writer, and musician. He is unique smart are genuine. And if needed in simple words, which I think you might; The first post refering to Beyonce was a joke!
he's such a great musician, this is the kind of music that will be around for the many years to come, this is the music that will be a revolution, not the womanizer - britney spears crap, its the msg's in jasons song that will make it to the top and will stick
It sickens me that he hasn't completely made it to the top. People would rather buy crap music that means nothing if it's a girl without any clothes on than this. This is true, from the heart, and actually means something. If people only took the time to expand their horizons, people like Mraz would be at the top. <3 you.
wat i luv about him is his live performances. he alwayz brings sumthin a little dif 2 every ppeformance. his voice is soooo gr8. Jason Mraz ttly rox!!
It's a condenser mic, which means it's a whole lot more sensitive than a normal dynamic vocal mic - you can see from how it can record his voice so clearly from so far away. This also means that while he can move away from a dynamic mic to prevent it from picking up his breathing, with this one he can't. It's not his fault, blame Yahoo.
not only that...it's also compressed as heck too. If you don't know what compressions is, it's when you apply a certain effect to a track to make the softer parts louder and bring the louder parts lower, in essence creating a more balanced, but less dynamic track. That is causing alot of this effect as well, if you pay attention, the entire track you can hear the vocals pretty much at the same volume....compression!
this is exactly why he is special .. he dun give no shits to those *professional-pls-control-your-breathing whatever* he sings as he likes and he does it PERFECTLY! but yea no offense.. i know u love him =X
aahhhh ok ....i dont need any explination...disregard his breathing..do you understand live performance??..its natural that jason's breathing is bery present coz its live..not edited okey???
well anyway im enrage though as what u think..peace...the important of the matter is we both love jason mraz...ryt??
This guy is flawless live. Any changes up the songs a ton from his CD version, while still maintaining a super tight vocal range and playing ability. Impressive.
Jason Mraz. Wow. This guy is mii idol. i just cant belive how graceful he is, rather then other shit us teens listen too. this is called REAL music. live life long Jason.<3
I met him when i was a a kiss 108 concert and he had just preformed and was walking around the audience and i was like the only one who know who he was so went up to him and got an autograph, pic and got to talk to him =] <3
2:10-2:15 how did he hit that note so purely.

I'll put this into simple words, unlike you.
You Don't knwo what the FUCK you're talking about.

Can't compare them unless they covered the same song.
That's like comparing Frank Sinatra to Kanye West.
