John Mayer Names the ‘Cleanest Man in America’

Everyone seems to want to write an angle about the interview John Mayer did with Ellen Degeneres. And to be fair, that’s what us writers are supposed to do. But with John…I feel inappropriately protective! I mean, he’s out there as one of the most genuine celebrities there are (and I should say ‘musicians’ but you know what I mean). He doesn’t censor himself and for that people take advantage. He’s a funny guy, kind of a nerd, talented, tech-wise, a spazzy dancer, definitely what you’d call a people-person, and likable in so many ways.
Despite all of the cuteness that transpired between Mayer and Degeneres, most pieces about this segment focus just on what he said about love/relationships/dating. To me, that’s a discredit to the entire rest of the interview. Sure, we care – we’re horrible and we CARE about his lovelife. But he’s got an amazing album out, he’s wearing the cutest holiday outfit, and he’s smarter than your average polar bear.

Melissa and Kourtney < 333 I don’t know Melissa personally, but obviously I will adopt you as a friend because you love Mayer too.
All of the titles were probably “John Freaked by Dating” and other such things. It’s catchy and it DOES get attention… I still used an angle to this headline…but I feel like it was a nice one. And I loved how when Mayer and Degeneres were worried they were insulted John Legend they look concerned. They are SO nice and sweet!

i dont think he said anything here that was odd or controversial…my favorite part is the ‘oh shit’ look on ellens face when he announces that hes drunk, then her quick assurance that he didnt get the booze from her. LOL!
