Please name one "awesome" song. I can't think of anything he hasn't done that isn't annoyingly mainstream and derivative.

That's unfair PP, music is a very personal thing - its a form of art. Perhaps you're too intelligent to understand and appreciate his music...yeah, I think that's it.

Okay.

He is a jewish prince, hence his worship of shiksa goddesses. He has become so very lame in that regard. But I have always liked his music--it's not overtly vulgar--songs like "Daughters" really speak to me--it was the music I played in the car when my kids weren't demanding that I put the 'Wiggles' CD back in.

"Daughters". Bam. Awesome song.

There's plenty of music that's not "vulgar" and makes John Mayer seem like the equivalent of a high school garage band.

Nope. Can't stand that schmoopy sentimentality. It's so fake and surface. Give me REM, Bon Iver, Regina Spektor, Jeff Buckley, Feist, etc etc etc any day. I challenge you to listen to their music and read their lyrics and tell me that doesn't move you at a deeper level than dreck like John Mayer. If not, well, I can't help you.

Yeah, because you listen to Einstüzende Neubaten and New York Dolls on an endless reel to reel tape in your trendy, stupid get over yourself head.

I can't explain him either because I think he's gross.

This feature has yet to actually repel women. And I think that's the real question: why are so many women attracted to total douchebags?

There will always be women full of self-hatred and then, of course, Jessica Simpson. Jessica Simpson apparently has a thing for douchey guys since she also was rumored to have had a fling with Adam Levine (or Lavine, if you were following the other thread).

AND he is The Clean UP Man - google the song

I do like a couple of his songs-- "Dreaming with a Broken Heart" is one-- but then any affection I may begin to have for John Mayer is negated by completey douchey songs like "Waiting for the World to Change." Oh, poor you and your generation, John, there's just NOTHING YOU CAN DO except wait around for things to get better. Go smoke another bong, buddy.

I'm male. I like Eurovision, Babs, Judy, Liza, etc., etc.. and enjoy musical theater on all levels from high school/community to Broadway.

John Mayer makes my estrogen levels increase to uncomfortable levels.

He stole the scruffy-guy-with-guitar-who-really-really-wants-to-have-sex-with-you thing from Dave Matthews.

And he's really bad at it. Pretty much defines "douche."
