I would think that his songs are pop, but some people I know call his song hip pop. I would call it pop, though.

I've been all around the world
I've been a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter
In this ge-generation
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
And someone said that ain't my scene
'Cause they need a new song
Like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
Gotta find another way to live the life of leisure
So I drop my top,
Mix and I mingle
Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...
Ha La La La La
L-listen closer to the verse I lay
Ha La La La La
It's all about the wordplay
Ha La La La love
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah The Mr. A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
When it's time to get ill I got your remedy
For those who don't remember me
Well let me introduce you to my style
I try to keep a jumble And the lyrics never mumble
When the music's makin' people tongue-tied
You want a new song
Like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under
Pull out the stops,
Got your attention
I guess it's time again for me to mention
The wordplay
Ha La La La La
L-listen closer to the verse I lay
Ha La La La La
It's all about the wordplay
Ha La La La love
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah The Mr. A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
Well I built a bridge across the stream of consciousness
That always seems to be a flowin'
But I don't know which way my brain is goin'
Oh the rhymin' and the timin'
Keeps the melodies inside me
And they're climbin'
'Till I'm running out of air
Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
Are you listening to a single word I've said?
Ha La La La La
Listen closer to the words I say
Ha La La La La
I'm Stickin' with the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah The Mr. A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
I'm all about the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
I'm stickin' with the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
I love the wonderful thing it does
Because, because of
The ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's fall back in love
For the Mr. A to Z they say
is all about the wordplay
Ok.! Lets make it

Jason Mraz is a popular singer. He has just recently put out his 1st album called We sing. We dance. We steal things. But the album cover is really retarded.
We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. Is in fact his 3rd actual album, he has 2 live albums as well, so it is his 5th album in all. His first album is entitled Waiting For My Rocket To Come, which includes his first hit "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)". His second album is entitled Mr. A-Z, which includes his second hit "Wordplay". His third album is entitled Tonight Not Again: Live At The Eagles Ballroom, which includes his song "Tonight Not Again". His fourth album is entitled Jason Mraz: Live And Acoustic. Which includes the songs he wrote, and preformed in his coffee shop; like "1000 things". His fifth (and most recent) album is entitled We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. Which includes his #1 hit "Im Yours", and also includes another hit "Lucky ft. Colbie Caillat". -Lily

I personally don't think so. Not priestly. He might have a bit of Jewish blood in him though.

so i won't hesitate no more
no more it cannot wait I'm sure
theres no need to complicate
our time is short
this is our fate, I'm yours
i been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
and bendin over backwards just to try to see it clearer
my breath fogged up the glass
so i drew a new face and laughed
i guess what I'm sayin is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
its what we aim to do
our name is our virtue
i won't hesitate no more
no more it cannot wait I'm sure
theres no need to complicate
our time is short
it cannot wait, I'm yours
the meaning is...... there are many meanings. They are love, Peace and motivation to be happy. if you are not happy, than its your fault, is pretty much the secret to the song.
The whole song is based off of his devotion to Hawaii. Contrary to popular belief, when he says, "I'm yours", he is referring to Hawaii and not a girl. It's an impulsive decision but he can't wait any longer to be in his paradise. Living in the moment and living in harmony with others is the other message he is trying to convey. Overall, Mraz is being pressured by the fast paced world of where ever he was before and wants to get back to Hawaii at all cost.
None of the online sources even indicate that John Mayer plays the ukulele. They list guitar, mandolin and piano. It wouldn't be hard for him to play a ukulele, particularly a Baritone Ukulele.
Well I saw fireworks from the freeway
And behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away
'Cause you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring
Now something on the surface it stinks
I said something on the surface
Really kind of makes me nervous
Who says that you deserve this
And what kind of god would serve this?
We will cure this dirty old disease
Well if you gots the poison, I've gots the remedy
The remedy is the experience,
It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy, is that it's serious.
This is a strange enough new play on words
I said that tragedy is how you're gonna spend,
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.
I won't worry my life away. [2x]
Well, I heard two men talking on the radio
In a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
Where they were counting down the ways to stab
The brother in the be right back after this
The unavoidable kiss, with the minty fresh
Death breath sure to outlast this catastrophe
Dance with me,
'Cause if you gots the poison,
I've gots the remedy
The remedy is the experience,
This is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy, is that it's serious.
This is a strange enough new play on words
I said the tragedy is how you're gonna spend,
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.
I won't worry my life away. [2x]
When I fall in love,
I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun,
but I'm still gonna shine and I'll tell you why...
Because
The remedy is the experience,
This is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy, is that it's serious.
This is a strange enough new play on words
I said the tragedy is how you're gonna spend,
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end.
I won't worry my life away...('Cause I won't and I won't and I won't worry my life away...)
Yes he is technically because no divorce court date yet and he was never served paper work for such dissolution of marriage.
Yes, he has a brother.
He also has a sister, who I believe is named, or nicknamed, Candy. He mentions "Candy" and "little sister" in his song, "0% Interest".
And Candy's got some space to fill in her daydreams
So I'm told, little sister
So now I'm sold, little sister
He has a brother and a sister.
