One Minute, Four Seconds


It's wrong of me to judge something when I haven't listened to the entire thing, but I couldn't make it past the 1:04 mark of John Mayer's cover of Mimi's "All I Want For Christmas Is You." First of all, Christmas songs have been fucking me in the ass without Crisco since November. Second of all, John Mayer sounds constipated. The visual of him pushing out a butt nugget while singing a Christmas tune was too much for me to deal with, so I quit that bitch after a minute.

Besides, I don't need to listen to the whole thing to know that John is doing it all wrong. Dear John, get yourself a hot cup of douche water, sit back and watch this hot bitch below. This beautiful songbird will show you the proper way to cover a Mimi Xmas song:

I love me some John Mayer no matter what he's singing (I think he did a nice improv job) The "douche" phrase has got to go for 2009. John isn't anymore of a "douche" than the rest of us. If you don't believe me, read over the comments. DOUCHE! (one last time before the new year)

Dude needs to stick to his high voice, I like his high voice better than justin timberlakes lol

When this song first came out I didn't like it. Now it's classic to me like other Christmas songs pretty much. I don't know why this song stayed so popular for Christmas but it did. John Mayer totally takes the fun out of this song. The other guy does a good job. I'm so used to Mariah's version at first I thought it was weird a guy singing it.

NO MORE CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!! CHRISTMAS ENDED FIVE DAYS AGO PEOPLE!!
I don't want to hear that dumb song for another 360 days!!!

True dat. We need our own DListed Xmas music anyway, sung by the DListed choir (Yes, there's a DListed choir...in my mind) and put out on a yearly CD, sold in the DListed shop with proceeds going to charity (Charity being us whores who can't afford enough PURPLE DRANK and weed to get us through the WHORLIDAYS)....

Chinese (?) guy

He's Korean, Angel. Something like 22% of all Koreans have the last name Kim (= gold). Why, even some that I know very well!

LOL! I'm Korean & I KNOW I CANNOT SING!
HaHaHa! Stop the Madness!

Mimi has an amazing voice but she thinks she needs to hit every note in 2 1/2 octaves every stanza and it gets really annoying. I actually liked John Meyers until the very end when he did a little Mimi mocking. (ducking and running from things being lobbed at my tranny monkey head)
The Chinese dude, I keep laughing at how hes dropping the S's off the ends of words. He gets some and forgets others.

I didn't even make it to 30 seconds on the John Mayer cover. UGH! The second one? OMG, I think I just peed a little.

On the other hand, Chinese (?) guy up there blows them both away. LOL! I mean - if you're gonna sing Mimi, you should have fun with it! All he needs is an ugly Christmas sweater;p

I never thought Mayer could sing ,he sucks big time.I didn't even bother listening to this mess pass 15 seconds.

Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

I think the worst part is all those bitches clapping in the background. I hate when people clap to the beat, like they're accomplishing something...

I love love love the original by Mariah!!! John took the fun out of the song. With the Korean guy, it was a different kind of fun.

Why is douche bag messing up the one song I can tolerate at Christmas? Can't Maniston put a muzzle on this twerp?

omg i love the guy in the second vid! i fucking hate that mariah carey song with all my heart but his beautiful rendition warms my cold soul. this one is even better

14 seconds, and that was 13 too long. I wasn't gonna listen but it's like the trainwreck, you just have to do it even though you know it's gonna be horrific. When he sings, that doesn't even sound right, when he opens his mouth to emulate speech, he sounds like he's making fun of the mentally retarded, and his facial expressions totally match that. There have been tons of bad talent out there over the years, but this guy, how he has any following, other than Jen Aniston is beyond all rational intelligent levels of thinking.

That song is bad anyway, it just reminds me of Mooriah singing all high and shit in the original. Brings back bad memories of being trapped in dept store during Xmas. Anyway, I love it when the Korean dude goes all high and shit, it's ten times better than Douchebag singing all husky and slowly pushing out a butt nugget!

2:29. I was like "I can do it!" Nope. That around the time I started gringing my teeth.

You could waste one bullet on John Mayers painful assed singing ( no pun...oh yeh...pun...lots of it) yet I would be reluctant to waste a bullet on the tragic little korean guy as he was doing his best. Not that he was any good whatsoever. Stoopid assed song anyway.

ImpertinentVixen's picture

Jesus Crying Pancake Batter, that was fucking torture. I made it to 48 seconds. I actually LIKE the Mariah Carey song, it's very bouncy and happy, the only thing I have heard come out of her mouth that I can listen to, but John Mayer is hideous, a troll, a festering boil on the butt of humanity. JA can do SO MUCH BETTER.

Was that him playing guitar? Not Marlee Matlin?

I'm in love. I'm going to make him sing Christmas telegrams to everyone I know (3 people). And I'm not talking about John Mayer. His cover was beyond horrible.

TexnDoc's picture

Who is the second guy on the YouTube and why are there multiple camera angles? Well, kudos to that "hot bitch".

Haywood Jalickmi's picture

Oh god my EARSSSSSS...I have a tooth infection and now I think my ears are infected. John Mayer really cannot sing. He sounds like he's half deaf and trying to sing.

Both covers were terrible! John M. annoys the living fuck outta me.

And Xmas is ovah!!!

It's new years that's upon us! Where the vodka at

I also loved Olivia Olsen's version from Love Actually. And I would have watched that this Christmas rather than going to the movies if I hadn't of loaned out my only copy to my friend who never returns anything.

That's probably my favourite version of it. The look on "Sam"'s face kills me and makes my super cynical heart melt a bit.

Beat your friend and get your copy back. At least my original one is with my mother.

Damn, John Mayer has an annoying voice. But I fucking love that second guy! LOVE! I've never heard the Mimi version... of which I'm grateful.

You are me. I hate all Xmas music, except Mariah Carey's version of this song, which I can't get enough of. I bet the neighbors cringe every year when I drag out the CD and play it full blast. The kids like it, though.

Nicholeoleoleo's picture

there's no room for Christmas in my blackened heart, but I will admit that All I Want For Christmas Is You is my one of my favorite Christmas song (along with This Christmas) So yeah, my tone deaf cat could sing it and I'd still think it was decent.

I know I'm the minority here, but I kind of like John Mayer's version, but I'm rather biased because I like John Mayer.

I also loved Olivia Olsen's version from Love Actually. And I would have watched that this Christmas rather than going to the movies if I hadn't of loaned out my only copy to my friend who never returns anything.

I hate that damn Mimi song. I don't care for john but I did like that one song, waiting on the world to change I think its called?

I like it, too, but it's a total rip of "People Get Ready" and many other standard R&B songs with the same chord changes.

*smdh* You know I'm all for people wanting to do covers here and there but don't touch Mariah's CLASSIC Christmas song aka The Best Christmas song of all time. No John...Just No!!

I refuse to listen to John Mayer sing ANYTHING! He tries to damned hard.

At least this isn't one of his songs and won't be completely repetative...

"say what you need to say, say what you need to say.......to infinity" UGH!

Considering Kim Dong-Won doesn't speak English, I preferred his version. I'm beginning to see why Mayer and Aniston are a good, oatmealy match.

John Mayer is the douchiest douchebag of them all ... I've lost total respect for Jen Aniston.

Didn't Britney do this song, too? Seems like I heard it while I was in a coffee shop or something.
