Ellen Interview

As expected, John Mayer's interview with comedian Ellen DeGeneres on the Ellen show in February of 2009 is all laughs. When the two comedians (yes, John Mayer is not technically a comedian, but he mine as well be) join forces, they create a great chemistry and keep the crowd laughing with hilarious interpretations of famous musicians. Even though this interview is very low-key and entertaining, there are some moments in the interview that really help prove that Mayer does not portray narcissistic traits. The two talk about Mayer's vulnerability while in his "writing mode", his then relationship with Jennifer Anniston, and The 2009 Grammy Awards, in which he took home two Grammys.

When talking about the Grammy's, Ellen Asks Mayer if there was any specific artists that Mayer wanted to win the Grammy for Song of the Year. Mayer replied by saying "There's actually more often people that i think should win over me". For example, he explains that when he won song of the year for "Daughters" over Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You" , he says he "didn't think [he] should have because I thought she had a better song". He goes on to explain that after a night of working together in the recording studio, he removed the top half of the Grammy and gave it to her. I feel like this was extremely cool, because many artists fail to acknowledge the work of other artists. Mayer seems to have a respect for all types of music, and he comes off as someone who lacks vanity and selfishness. He come off as a real person in this interview, and his ability to charm the crowd and his fans with his humor and wittiness.
