Idol Worship: Jason Mraz On 'I'm Yours' Group Number

Idol is giving a lot of love to Jason Mraz so far this season. First, Jackie Tohn auditioned with "I'm Yours" back in January, and on Wednesday's show, they made a group number out of his chart-topping hit. So what did Mraz, who's headed to Seoul, South Korea tomorrow for the start of a two month-long world tour, think of the first 12's effort? We asked, and, after finding the footage on Youtube, he answered:

Jason Mraz: "When watching it, I felt like I woke up from a dream, disoriented, and the TV was still on, playing a movie-musical I’d never seen — a mash-up between Xanadu, Saved by the Bell, and Grease 2. But don’t get me wrong, I am honored to play a role in this festival of enthusiasm. And I’m always open to hearing new interpretations as it gives me renewal, offering new suggestions for my own live take on it. I love how the ladies held lengthy whole notes through the end choruses. I’m likely to start doing that. I’ll also ask more of my band members to start singing, because I love the group participation, although our audiences do a keen job at singing louder than we do. "

Maybe we should start a series of artist reactions — what could we call it?   -- Shirley Halperin
