John Mayer Doesn't Understand Britney Spears...
Posted on Fri Feb 27, 2009 12:55 PM PDT

Or perhaps he needs to listen to Circus and Blackout a few more times?
The other day when John appeared on Ryan Seacrest's radio show on KIIS FM, he began to make fun of discuss Britney and her songwriting.
John said, "I was just talking the other day about how strange the Britney Spears songwriting approach is. I've never met her and I'm not coming down on her, but all of the songs are sort of like, 'I'm getting all my girls together, we're gonna go out' and 'I’ve got holes cut out for t*ts, I got flashlights on me'. And then it’s like, 'why's everybody looking at me?' 'Everybody’s looking at me' because oh, did you hear verse two, Britney?"
Point taken, but someone must have reminded John that Britney has sold more albums than him, because he added, "It's been so successful for her that I'm doing it too."
Aww, we can't wait to hear John's next record! Maybe he'll don some sexy outfits and shake his stuff onstage too?
I'm sure Jen would like that!

I'm sorry, but I think he's hilarious! He can be a real D-Bag at times, but he is funny!
John Mayer is nowhere near funny.
Sorry, but I do not get John Mayer, at all. Nothing appealing about him or his whiny songs.
John Mayer is so true! Britney selling more albums than John was way back in her day. Her days are over, so let John Mayer shine. Britney is not selling her albums now as much as she did when she had her 15 minutes of fame. Look at her last album - can we say TANKED!
he's totally right. Britney's songs are about sex and clubs and spotlight and then bitching about why everyone cares about her sex and dancing and spotlight. LOL well played maye!!
He is sooo right.... LOL. But the best part ist, I heard this interview, he was singing those textes - he was hilarious!
And this comment at the end - so great ironic, you just must love this guy!
Brits tanked albums are selling more than Johns, lol.
This dude thinks he is a genius or what? What about his music? It is the same kind of music as Britney's but he plays guitar and she dances.
I heard someone calling him a D-BAg... RIGHT ON!!!!

I don't understand Britney Spears either?!?
if you really have a sense of humor, make fun of something other than the obvious targets today. this is just dumb.
Yeah! "all eyes on me...", "don't stand there watching me...", he is hilarious! But, he says he's not coming down on her, because he never met her - that's fair. She is a performer, he is a musician. But he knows what to do to be succesfull (if necessary.) lol
that picture of britney is terrible
BRITNEY IS ON HER WAY TO KENTWOOD RIGHT NOW ACCORDING TO HER WEBSITE!!! OMG!!!
1:18, WOW! WOW! Honey, don't speak about issues you don't have any idea about... As long, as a B.B. King says, Mayer is a huge talent, as long as people, who have a clue say, he is the next Stevie Ray Vaughan, as long you have to shut up. We speak about legends, who pay tribut to Mayer...
John is funny and his singing this impromptu was very funny and sorta true. He wasn't mean about it and paid props to Brit's numbers. He is an amazing writer/musician. Go John!
OMG! It was a joke. Mayer knows where his place in music is and he is happy about it, it isn't on side of performers like Britney. He worked several times with Alicia Keys, Kanye West or Jay-Z, these guys trasure his talent...
...says the guy that wore a banana hammock...
1:45-you're right. He wasn't mean, why should he? That's why I love this guy, there is no need to be mean. That's something, what many people could learn from him, don't be mean, in case you were, apologize, it's what he did to Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Who cares? John Mayer makes fun of Britney, eyt he did the same stuff she did a couple of years ago, as in "calling the papparazzi to take his picture"? Britney didn't really even have to do that, she has 15 paps on her most of the time. But thats besides the point.
Her tour starts Tuesday. And everyone is excited for the Circus, in a good way or a bad way.
1:59....says the guy who KNOWS and says it was silly...
2:01 ...and why has Britney 15 paps on her?
My kids love to dance to her music. You don't need to listen to it. Mayer's music is about listening to the textes and thinking about too, it's just different.
"I was just talking the other day about how strange the Britney Spears songwriting approach is.

And then it’s like, 'why's everybody looking at me?' 'Everybody’s looking at me' because oh, did you hear verse two, Britney?"
Anon 1:41 that must be a joke. Big money keeps Mayer and Aniston floating, big money to pay Pr agents and fake posters. Mayer is hot air. Nothing but hype.
Mayer paid his way on stage with the greats.
Look how many years BB King has to suffer and endure hard times. Racist attitudes. Long years of touring. All the albums he put out. Then this sorry piece of shitMayer comes along and pay his way. Don't put any blood sweat or tears in nothing. Just stand fresh and clean and propped up by big business men and claim he is as good as them. Mayer is an insult to the great ones.
No way this slug is the next Stevie Ray Vaughan either.
They need their monkey boy making that money for them, so they have to pay his way up the ladder. So you slip him a Grammy when he don't work during 2008.
Mayer has no shame for stealing his way up to the top.
This douche bag is with Jen so the paps will take his picture. Snatch Jen from his side and everything go quiet for him.
No body care about this turd at all. People will buy Britney's album before they buy his shitty music.
Douche bag needs to shut up and go pay some more people off.
Oh my God that photo of britney makes her looks DISCUSTING.
Has Mayer listen to HIMSELF. He's so boring in his attempts to be witty or deep.
Jennifer and John are so catty. All they do is snoot their nose at everybody. I wish they would get lost.
Casper the friendly ghost should shut up. He is so stupid. Talk about how Jen is making a fool of his dumb ass.
Jen is playing him like a used fiddle.
anon 2:29. Bitter much? Mayer's played with all of the great musicians, including Clapton. He's a musician with 7 Grammys and he doesn't need to pay his way anywhere. Britney's a has-been popstar who managed to keep the paps interested by having a complete meltdown and having children's services at her house every 5 minutes.
I don't think has listen to himself lately if he did he would shut up. Only he and Jen think they can talk about every one else.
All it takes is money....2:41.
lol so true Casper and that old cow should go find a tanning booth and lay in it until they burn.
This from the laziest man in music.
I use to be a fan of John but not any more. I'm sick of his diarrhea of the mouth jerk.
Hey guy check out Kings of Leon, they are so awesome forget this lamef-ck.
What a catty bitch!--definately gay.
Douche bag's lyrics off his last junk are no better. I always kind of thought Clay Cook wrote all the earlier music. John just copy other artists.
Some one wants media attention.
I see why he is with JA.
What a douche bag. I think the catty behavior says he is gay to.
Britney never sold those albums, her song writers, marketing managers did.
He has a point, her music is shallow and has no substance at all. But then her music is aimed at little 12 year old girls, so what can you expect?
That same thing for Mayer. He really never sold his albums either.
The massive Pr team and fake message boards he has sold his album.
haha that's hilarious and so true. catty behavior? lol it's an honest observation!
you all need to calm down haha he's just joking around, I think Brit can take it...
and his lyrics are 100x better than Britney's, everyone who said his songs are the same must have been kidding haha
Obviously he is still mad that Britney turned his douchebag ass down. YEAH THAT'S RIGHT he asked Britney out before he went out with Blimpson. He had to settle for the saddest Britney wannabe.
i had no idea that britney wrote her own music
He's kind of right. Her music is made to dance to, it's not necessarily being made to be earth shattering. All he has to fall back on is his voice. britney doesn't. She has a lot to fall back on. John Mayer may have 7 Grammys, but thats a reflection of the music industry. Not many people in the public care about if you're a Grammy winner. They care about how good your music is, how danceable it is, how much fun can you have with this song? Britney is succesful because she has put out countless, upbeat, danceable music. Thats what she does. He is known for slower, more adult music. Britney's music is for the people 25 and under. John Mayer is for people 18 and over. The tween market is much bigger than the adult one, so you can see why Britney has sold the ammount of albums she has.
"Circus" single is #1 again, and "If U Seek Amy" is rapidly climbing the charts. There is obviously demand for Britney, and no one is gonna stop the Princess of Pop
This guy is a fucking loser! I hope Jennifer dumps its butt ugly ass soon - i wouldnt sleep with him if you paid me millions! Nobody takes you seriously - so dissing britney and focus more on your shit house music - becuase it sucks!!!!!!!!
2:08 - Anyone that would expose their CHILDREN to Britney Spears is almost as bad a parent as Britney is. You obviously think it's "cute" for little girls to run around singing "If You Seek Amy". That is SO screwed up. Do you let them watch pornos too? I really feel sorry for your children.
3:31. Let me just correct you real quick on a few things.
Whether or not Britney writes all of her material, it still doesn't change the fact that she's had five #1 albums. Britney sells those albums, not her co-writers or marketing team. She is one of the best entertainers out there right now and she has proved that time and time again. Also, her music was aimed at 12 year olds over 10 years ago now. I'm sure "If You Seek Amy" was put on the album especially for her young fans. As a fan of hers, i can tell you that her fanbase has expanded to young teenagers, women in their twenties and the gay community.
Poor John Mayer. He'll never know the thrill of having the police break into his barricaded bathroom and then getting his naked, crazy ass hauled away while restrained on a gurney as millions of people watch him break down from another childish tantrum gone too far!
And his kids won't suffer through countless atomic wedgies and having to pull off yet another picture of their mom's naked coochie with the words "Yer mommie is a ho!" from their locker!
You know what happens when John Mayer's lip sync vocal recording fails at a concert? Nothing. He doesn't use one! And he also plays guitar good enough to jam with people like Eric Clapton live, in front of large audiences.
Now what happens when Brit's vocal track over fails? Silence! The pretend singing immediately quits and she runs off stage, completely humiliated, to have another massive break down. This is something for you fans to look forward to. Tantrums, completely canned singing, lots of useless arm waving.
Britney looks like a fat 50-year-old ho. Yuk.
Lmaoo like she writes her own stuff ,
it's all stupid trashy crap to try and make people think she's sexy , umm not !
What a douche. He writes songs about celebrity chicks he bags ie your body is a wonderland, so he shouldn't even talk about repetitive writing. Hello, if you are going to talk about Britney songs at least get the lyrics and melody right. FYI That's Lindsay Lohan's melody he is singing too. dumb@ss.
He IS really funny especially considering he knows Britney Spears does NOT write songs. He might as well have said something about Britney's "live acoustic sets!!!!" Too funny!
This dumb@ss douche bag copies other people's music. Listen to his pansy @ss.
Mayer is a loser and struggling to stay significant in the media. Takes a lot of money to put his music on the chats. He does not work to earn his way no where. If they didn't put money out his shit would drop like a rock. You ever notice Mayer has to call in a lot of people to make his shitty music. He does nothing on his own.
Jen is his beard and in place to help him sell his cr@p. Mayer wouldn't get notice if he was not with Jen.
Britney has a large fan base. Which is why her stuff hits #1 on the charts.
Britney's music is popular across college campusses every where. There is not an event where her music in not being played. What every she is doing it works. No matter what is going on in her personal life.
Sounds like this catty pu$$y is jealous.
The douche bag must be afraid the shitty music he is working on is not going to sell.
Since when do real men act like John Mayer. Something is wrong with him.
^^^tea bags her daddy bwahahahahahahaha
He's right!
He doesn't understand Britney..but he do understand how to use Jen for her fame instead of standing on his own. Maybe John understand K-fed better since K-fed leach off Britney's fame to.
What's wrong is Mayer gay.
Gay men sit around bitching with women.
Mayer needs to man up. Shut the hell up and work on your music. You can't write music from the streets of Hollywood and the media.
