Jamiroquai's Jay Kay to quit music
- Artists:
- Jamiroquai »
Jay Kay - popular(?) singer with popular(!) band Jamiroquai - is to quit music.
But only for a year. Sorry. Not for good. Just a year. Twelve short months. Still, that's time enough for a good half-dozen driving convictions to come the man's way.
Kay says that the release of his greatest hits compilation - out next week - affords him the luxury of closing a chapter of his career. Um, cliché much? Whatever, silly-hat-man.
Kay, he said:
"I like the sense of closure that the greatest hits album has to it. I've closed this chapter of my career at the right time and it's great. I'm ready to move on and see what comes next - a year off, that's the plan."
And you know what they say about best laid plans, right? What? No? What? Pub? Okay...

darn
you got my hopes up. He should have stopped recording long ago.
my eyes lit up
i've got 4/1 odds his new career is very similar to this one.
I like
'Canned Heat' and 'Cosmic Girl'.
Jamiroquai
are a band?
I knew he still recorded
but he quit music a long time ago.
haha
well played :-D
I'm gonna get heckled for this so bad
but I think Jamiroquai are a great singles band!
Be gentle.
yeah
I liked the singles from A Funk Odyssey, but he should have called it a day after that.
RIGHT..
ME AND YOU OUTSIDE NOW.
Thanks fuck
If I hear one more Jamiroquai song in my life i will have to start killing people. It pains me so.
^
haha.
I was out playing pool
with my old work colleague last week and he confessed his love of Jamiroquai.
I felt inclined to spear him through the throat and leave immediately.
why didn't you?
I would have. I had a date last week with a really nice guy but I know it cannot last because he likes Queen and James BLunt.
jamiroquai
makes me want to claw my ears out. almost as much as maroon five.
Early Jamiroquai is GREAT
For example - Too Young To Die, Space Cowboy etc.
The later stuff is crap though.
^^^^
I agree. Little did Sony realise when they signed Jamiroqui on a multi million pound 5 album deal a few years ago that he'd release the same album 5 times (and progressively get worse at it).
i may get stoned to death but...
i do like the man's hats.
...
in the field of 'shit bands that are great to dance to for one song' Jamiroquai are leaders of the pack.
truth, blud.
Yeah
Boring as heck across the course of an album (I used to own a couple) but capable of chucking out the occasional good single. See also: "Deeper Underground" and "Feels Just Like It Should".
2 be honest
I would have loved to have been at that Jazz Cafe gig the other week when they played. All the old classics!!
Indie bands take note - these are musicians you actually know how to play!
^who (not you)
what a dick :o(
Arse!
I was really chuffed for about 30 seconds until I read it was only for 12 months! He's got some nice cars, that's about all I can say nice about him!
...
As usual, I agree with Damian.
Jay Kay
to quit life.
Nothing wrong with Queen!
James Blunt you can have!
everybody on this thread who is proclaiming their like for this band/man/his hats
kill yourselves now. just do it.
..
the first two records are great, but despite jay kay rather than because of him. in fact id say his silly voice and silly americanised mannerisms is even worse in the early stuff than later. he almost completely ruins "the kids"
"Now it's getting nasty!!"
Or words to that effect. That bit is AWFUL.
Faggots.
You indie, belle and sebastian loving, tight jean wearing faggots need to shut the fuck up.
Jamiroquai is fucking awesome, I own every single one of his albums and which one sucks...oh wait none of them, they're all fucking immense.
You fucking kids and your fashion-core lives piss me off so much, your musical taste doesn't have to be dictated to you by pitchfork, you can make your own minds up about what is enjoyable and what isn't. You're the same faggots who pretend to dislike Dragonforce, and then comment on how the new My Chemical romance single is actually quite good. Wrong again fuckfaces.
Does that mean..
I can use his recording studio while he's not using it? imagine how incredible that would be just making music for a year!!
thats all I wanna do (and I do in my bedroom anyway) and this fuck is boasting about how he doesnt have to for a year? what a useless piece of fuckhat wearing shit
hey Dug-Do-All-Animals ever heard of Stevie Wonder? you should check him out...
Ditto
Yeah, Queen are alright! Sorry to hear he liked James Blunt though
nope, wrong
I hate my chemical romance, I dont read pitchfork, and I don't wear clothes
I hate jamiroquai because they make the most awful bland pointless wanky shit I've ever heard, and jay kay is an arrogant prick
D-I-C-K
I grew up with Stevie fuck face.
It's not bland in the slightest, it's just not cool, that's what your saying. And what's Jay Kays personality got to do with the music? Again, you're too into what's the fashion, and not just letting yourself enjoy things.
Faggot ass homosexual.
You all need to listen to P-Funk and realise how fucked you all are.
It's nice to see
you realise that us sexual deviants aren't into crap like this. There must be at least one gay Jay Kay fan out there, though. Anyone? No? Oh well...
jay kay
i love his music---i noticed quite a few of you said his music sucked---if you hear another song of his you would have to start killing people --- etc.-etc.etc. well if his music is so bad then why is he worth 40 million plus? i think he did well for himself.
id kill myself
to the guy that wants to kill people ---if i had to listen to that belly aching music you listen to id kill myself.
