jason mraz has been nominated for 2 grammies (grammys?)!!!!
if anyone deserves such acknowledgment, its him.
i mean. FINALLY!.

well mr a-z was nominated for best engineered album and the producer for best profucer, but that doesnt really count does it? i mean, to me at least, what makes me a fan is the way in which the songs were written and the voice that sang them. plus those nominations werent really acknowlegdements to mraz himself were they?

his nominations are for best male pop vocal performance in 'im yours' and 'im yours' as song of the year

are u kidding me?
song of the century!. haha

i guess he did good by deciding to rerecord im yours and including it in an official radio released album.. EVERYONE was singing the song. which is a good thing really because i dont think i can ever tire from too much mraz.

im puzzled tho by how ALOT of ppl already knew and loved the song even before it came out 'officially'. i myself found it by accident while downloading everything mraz online *guilty* but hey even if i can and have downloaded everything for free i still buy his albums. take mr a-z for instance, i already had all the songs save for bella luna before the album was even released in malaysia. ironically when i bought the album, bella luna instantly became my favourite from the record.

anyways, back to 'im yours'.. how the hell did it become so well known before 'we sing, we dance, we steal things'?. seriously, i couldnt find any official/unofficial album it was ever on beforehand. so did everyone get it illegally then?. there is an 'official' recording of it on youtube tho i think. or maybe it just started to go round by word of mouth n the amount of ppl who started to cover it.

thus is the power of mraz.

or i think it got really popular from myspace?. it was a recording from one of his live shows at some winery or something?


i realize that this is probably my longest word post in a really long time.
so please take note on how excited i am that mraz has been nominated for a grammy (which he will probably win)

i personally prefer his previous version of 'im yours' tho.

brighter days ahead!

taken from his journal:

" im not the person you want to meet. the music is. and the music is alive in you as much as it is in me. we created it together. therefore, you already know me. we've already hugged and kissed. we grew close for a moment, and then said our goodbyes"

i guess i do know mraz, and i would describe the whole of him in one word. beautiful
