Mariah Carey, always imitated, never duplicated. Nobody sings her songs better than she does.

# 2

# 3

Sounds out of tune and dead.

# 4

this girl he is singing about, is dizzy, ugly, and is a bad actress, she has rocks for brains, where are all the hot young chicks? john is gay for sure.

# 5

Good for him in giving his time to this worthy cause. I hope they raised lots of money.

# 6

Isn’t “All I Want For Christmas” a cover? So it’s not really Mariah’s song.

oh boy when will the unstable jp fans be here to say he is trying to be brad and angie-like. charity was not created by B&A, pimpin themselves in the name of charity was created by them tho. Good for John … total trade up Jen.

John is helping out by participating at a benefit
for a Children’s Hospital.

I think that that is admirable, noble, and kind.

I love this guy!!! What a sweetheart….

Nice singing, too.

why is my post in moderation and not the crazy lady(wooden legs person) ? you know the one who goes from thread to thread bashing brad and Angelina, because her husband left her also, for a younger more beautiful, interesting,intelligent talented woman..

John Mayer covered Mariah’s cover of Vince Vance and the Valiants’ “All I Want for Christmas is You.”

i like john, but you must be crazy if you think he is a trade up, hahaha, did he not dump her on the street like a $2.00 hooker?, oh i guess that’s ok,, and why are you constantly bringing brad into everything she does? you sound really pathetic and psycho, move on already, brad has a fantastic life, in all areas, he does not care what she does, he is a happy man, no looking back for him. you make Jen seem very pathetic, she says she is happy, leave her alone, get your own life.

WTF Why wasn’t People mag alerted of this? They could have paid for this and of course some cheesy story of how happy they all are. lol

Oh Johnny boy, what has happened to you? Once, in the very beginning of your career, I thought you stood for something. Now I see you are a media ***** who’ll do and say anything for attention.

That was awful. He has gotten so ugly. What has happened to him.
He is very over hyped.

Is it a slow news day or what? This event happened last week. And, why must Jennifer be injected into almost every post regarding John. It’s not like he mentioned her name during that performance. He is a great musician in his own right.

i agree with the very first comment

MARIAH IS ALWAYS IMITATED YET NEVER DUPLICATED

He likes to make a statement?
IT’S MUCH EASER TO JUST WALK WITH A BANNER INCLUDING THE TEXT: I”m a big *******, folks!!

I use to like him but not any more he is a conceited jerk.

What a douche bag.

And this is why Aniston’s movie did better than Pitts despite his movie being nominated for several awards. You would think that would make his move a shoo in……..

People are getting tired of Pitt and his crazed fans.

Mayer is doing this for charity. It’s funny how Pitt fans always use charity to fall back on yet when Mayer does it, it’s wrong.

John has more talent in his pinky than Pitt will ever have. Even more so than Jolie.

For Jen’s sake (not a fan, but she looks really happy with him), I hope he’s thinking of her. I just question his sudden turn around. Only a few months ago, he thought their relationship was going nowhere and a waste of time.

He is so ugly now. All he want for Christmas is media attention. PublicityWhore. He don’t care about that benefit at all. This get him more media attention. That’s why he is with Jennifer Aniston.
He sound horrible.

He wants the media to think he is intellegent but really he is not smart at all. He is a fake. So overrated and over hyped.
Jen and John are big fakes. They act like they are happy but they are faking it.

I never really knew who he was, but I am impressed that at his young age, he’s giving back to charity. However, I listened to the clip and didn’t hear one mention of Aniston. This is an old song which, by the way, he did not write. Maybe he chose it to cheer up the patients!

I will always remember when he dumped her big time, saying it 3 times because they had no chemistry. The relationship was a waste of time. So after the gave him a TV show it’s not a waste of his time.
Jen must not have no self esteem at all. This jerk embarrassed the he!! out of her. What do she do buy him back because she need a man to premier her movie. Then he humps all over the reporter at her premier. No way do Jen feel good about herself. Even to fake a relationship in public is too much.

it’s not johns fault, Jen probably told him that her crazy fans are obsess with her and that he could get in on the action, he should come along for the ride,

Jeff stop lying to your self John fans hate Jen. Hate her guts.
Wake up these are Mayer ex fans saying this stuff. When will Jen and Johns Pr team stop running that old game. John lost his fans. I am a ex Mayer fan not a fan of the other couple. On John message boards there all kind of complaining from Mayer fans. Mayer fans don’t like Jen. When is John going to wake up and stop listening to lies from Jen and her pr team.

Publicity clown had the pr team to tape and send it in. Way to get in the media attention again jerk.

Any one else notice that’s it’s Jen fans like Jeff that bring up that other couple’s name. I could care less about them but Jen’s people keep bringing it up.
I lost respect for John because this is an obvious publicity venture and I always thought Mayer was above that Hollywood fake stuff but he is not. They offered him the right amount of money and a TV show and he took it. He sold out.

The only reason John is getting THIS much attention is because of his fake or not so fake relationship with the other attention-getting, look-at-me-pretending-I-don’t-want-you-to-look-at-me desperate soul. He quickly realized after that NYC public display of a break-up that the paps were not interested in him anymore, he was back to being, well, just John Mayer, the singer. So he was back to her in no time at all. He craves attention, and will tolerate a yucky relationship to get it. He will milk this for all its worth.

I thought that was really nice John. I wish you and Jen a Happy & loving New Year.. You both look so nice together..

some nut job stole my name, I’m jeff = 4 not #23 this person is continuing a conversation like they been here all along, …hmmm., i really would like to know, whats in all these rants for you?, if nothing, you really need some help. seriously, check yourself out, it’s sad. do you have any love ones of your own?

I notice that to samantha. No one wanted his picture after the break-up. I think Jen and her pr team are playing a game on him and he is stupid enough to buy it. I remember Jen fans bashed him like crazy after the break just like the did her ex. They called John horrible names. Jen is manipulating to keep him. To bad Jen can’t get a man on her own she has to use her pr team to buy a man.
Jen can’t get her career going without a man.

the reason they keep bringing brads name into everything Jen does is because, they are hurt that brad left Jen, just like Jen has not gotten over him, he is the best thing Hollywood has, but he deserves the best too. that’s why he is with Angelina.

Real jeff I believe you. I notice that a lot here.
I believe if you kick the pr teams from under Hollywood stars they would all fall on their faces. They seem to need Pr teams to help make their career. What ever happened to real talent.

He looks like he’s on a day out from the care home in that pic. Where is the love of his life? I really do hope they get married but doubtful because it has all the signs of a set-up….but then again if it is a set-up either JA’s father and best friend CC are in on it or they have lied to them. Either way not good. I wonder how it will play out…depends on the script I guess.

I see why they are together both have those ugly long as chins. Children from them will be ugly for sure and born concieted.

He and X…..a match made in heaven…both media wh**ring flakes. Too bad really for him, he has talent and with some substance and maturity could have become a great……she is a no talent hack with too much money. With any luck we won’t have to endure her endless interviews where she stumbles and spews her idiocy…for at least another month or two when she tries to pimp a couple of duds without the aid of a DOG. This will be fun to watch.

———————————-
Ditto samantha I could not have said it better. We all saw that the paps didn’t want his picture when he broke it off with her, then when he got back with her they started taking his picture again.
I believe they tried to ruin him when he broke up with her. I see they do that with her ex after 4 years.
John should not have got into this mess. He was very stupid for thinking this would work. John has always talked about this phony life style now to end up right in the middle of it $ucks big time.
Even his looks have changed he use to look so much better than that.
John is not the same person he use to be. It’s time to realize that now.

John is a Pr tool now. Every time a John blog come up there pr team flash her name up. I have not seen a post where it has souly been about him only. John got the raw end of this pr deal. He is getting cheated.

Too bad John can’t sing his own songs any more. Now he is Public Relations Escort Extraordinaire. Wonder how much do that gig pay.

I can believe they stuck Jen name all over that. Photoshopping that stupid hate on his head was just uncalled for. John is looking worst by the day in this relationship.

I just love John Mayer Hes hot & jen & John look so happy together..

John Mayer looks really bad, Jen looks happy but he does not. She is always looking up at him adoringly while he looks elsewhere. In one pic she is drapped all over him in a swimming pool while he feels like just shaking her off of him. Body language speaks for itself. John, you’re looking like katie Holmes but at least you didn’t sign a contract, you didn’t did you John? we don’t want to start calling you zombie too.

Puh lease @ 12/30/2008 at 2:40 pm

I won’t say anything bad about this man. He already has to face Jennifer Chiniston’s ****** and that’s punishment enough for being the douche that he is.

Puh lease @ 12/30/2008 at 2:44 pm

I meant Jennifer Chiniston’s p*ssy.

However, I think I’m going to take that back. Facing her hideous mug is punishment enough.

people on this site have a stupid double standard,

whenever jenn and john do something for charity there is always a stupid reason of them wanting attention and money or whatever

but of course if angelina and brad did it they are praised like no other.

John did this charity event last year as well. Instead of showing us what dim wits you are, try to learn something about the person you hammer. This is about raising money for a hospital. Is it kindof sinking in yet?

As far as John’s or Jen’s relationships go, it is none of your business. Both have admitted in being in love with one another. It is their lives and choices, let them live their own lives.

Love Jen’s new song, love Johns remake of What I Want for Christmas..

Better than the remake of Mr and Mrs Smith…

Good for him sining for good couse and at the same time missing his jen.

Good for him sining for good couse and at the same time missing his jen.

sounds good.

I remember when bet was slamming him for everything under the book Jen’s hot and cold fans are pathetic.
We know he pull the same publicity stunt last year but it still is not getting him the publicity he seek. That’s why he is hook to the the publicitywhore of all times. I know John is glad that ho took off all her clothes that will net them more attention for sure.

He use to have a promising career until he got gready. Now look at him. Some ho’s do boy. It’s hard to care about him any more. I would not have screw up my music world for this old bag’s phony world.

I notice blogs never really talk about him either. They throw his picture up say one quick word or two, then go on to talk about Jen for two paragraph. At this rate his name wil be mud soon. When Jen get done with him she’s going to throw him in the garbage. Any way he made his bed. Like the fimilar song goes “what makes a man through it all away” I think he was trying to warn us long time ago.

All I want is your TURBO CHIN up my A*ss .. She is da Man…
CHINnifer MANiston .. All I want is your TURBO CHIN… LOL

How much did he raise $25. You will make much more if you show your di*k like your sugarmommy.

I don’t see that the song had nothing to do with Jen. He didn’t even bother to spend Christmas with her Jen’s pr team is ridiculus.

From what is looks he is not spending NYE in the same room with her either. Like a puppy dog he can stay down a few houses near her with his brothers while she hang over Courtney Cox again. If I were John I would stop this stupid fake thing with Jen and move on with my life.
I never new John to be this desperate and dumb but we see it with our own eyes. I have lost all respect for him.

Maybe Huvane is paying him enough to make it worth his while. And Aniston get a charity fcuk once in a while. Everybody wins. For a while.

They just want to see her with a man. Any man. As long as he’s breathing and between puberty and death.

Great… I love this song.
John Mayer make an excellent cover.
Congrats…

the ugly truth @ 01/02/2009 at 11:30 pm

fake relationship

I was odd that she took him back just before the premiere dont you think?

then did all those lovey dovey photo ops of her going to restaurants with him..
clearly a photo op

you want to know what real relationships do?

they go to the grocery store togethr
they shop together
drive alone in the same car together
they vacation alone together

they go the thier family’s place for holiday dinners
they go christmas shopping together.
they attend charities together
they buy gifts for their families together
they go to each others functions together (jen did not show up for Johns functions)
They spend new years day together .

too much of this set up shows that Jen and John are indeed not a real couple.

This is how certain reporter protect jenifer. I have been a John Mayer’s fan a long time. I loved him playing with BB Blues boy king. I have never been a Jen fan. Never watch Friends until lately on reruns. I have noticed that these reporters have never never stuck a micphone in her face and asked her what did she think of John Mayere dumping her in front of the world and if she is as mad at him as she is about Brad dumping her for a more polished star like Jolie? Of all the tv shows that she has appeared on, no one has asked her about it as I know. I notice all the news about her is very sweet and uplifting and all the news about Brad and Jolie tends to be all negative and dark as to say they are not happy.

For Jen’s sake (not a fan, but she looks really happy with him), I hope he’s thinking of her. I just question his sudden turn around. Only a few months ago, he thought their relationship was going nowhere and a waste of time.
