This is a really old post, but this is an example of the performers becoming the music. Nothing fazes them-broken string, whatever-and they are in perfect sync all the way through. Really professional. Actually, unbelievable.
Mona has inspired me to learn to play the cajon! I just happened to stumble into the Taylor Guitar Room at NAMM when she was playing with her band Raining Jane. And I remembered this performance on PBS. I quickly came home and called my local music store for a cajon. YOU GO MONA!!!!
is that audience in a fuckinc coma?? Why didn't Ellen give these two a standing ovatin??!!! that was A-W-E-S-O-M-E and they don't even know it. Bravo Jason and Mona!
@ Jason Mraz 🎶music : I just watched you on Ellen DeGeneres Show And you were awsome ..You also had Mona Tavakoli Performancing with you and your band ..You won 🏆 the Mark Twain Award that was so cool 😎 👌 your music 🎶 is fantastic and the more I hear the more I like 👍 really amazing ..I really enjoyed this very much ..Always a friend and Fan Laura 💓@
I absoultely love the energy, education and explosive passion Mono brings to the music world. I can't watch her without dancing and tapping on anything close by. A genuine heroine of oercussion, best rhythm maker ever!❤
I don't know if Mona was suppose to break Jason's guitar but that was so A.W.E.S.O.M.E. and Jason could still play so amazing after that (even though the strings are like out of place and some are falling) Jason Mraz you really are the best singer/songwriter for me :)
yeah breaks it!! but let me tell you on the big event specially on the croner playing instrument there are men playing as the same time with him so whenever the string breaks sound or music continues.. its called backstage opera player
Thanks so much for putting this up! Especially with the caption, too. THANK YOU. It's awesome how they kept going even though the string on his guitar broke. AWESOME. I miss TOCA, too, but MONA is fantastic, too. :)
i love the clip 93 million live london.....you have a heart and isn t shy, lady....very good performance!!!...love jason marz in london with u!!!..very competent and pretty...hugo..rio de janeiro brazil
I wish i'll be as courageous and half the idol Ellen is to many people young and old, she is just amazing and this song will be on loop and i will listen to it every time i'm in my highs and lows to inspire me for more
the girl is amazing at the drumming thing she does i saw jason mraz concert at dte and she wa there and they did this song and it was awesome i loved it! they both are amazing!!!

i love that J doesnt try to overshadow the godess mona and she is the effin start of this performance . same with the videographers abd whoever edited this.
This performance deserves a standing ovation.

This is one of the greatest performances of ALL time and Ellen looks underwhelmed. Im no longer a fan of hers but Mraz is a LEGEnD🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

What a legend, the string goes and he just carries on like there's nothing out of the ordinary.
Did anyone notice his guitar string break at approximately 2:58 ? Smooth continuity; he continued without even an extra blink of an eye....
that's what making him A.W.E.S.O.M.E XDDDD
Yea I've had that happen to me too. No biggie
Jason could be even a Capella and music would come out from his chest like notes.... He is music made human being.
I absoultely love the energy, education and explosive passion Mono brings to the music world. I can't watch her without dancing and tapping on anything close by. A genuine heroine of oercussion, best rhythm maker ever!❤
Finished smoothly with a broken string.. Man you're awesome
I love how much fun they have playing together!
Thanks for posting this. I was mesmerized when I saw this on TV. Sure hope they release this as a single! Mona is amazing.
Holy mother of the Earth! That was spectacular!!!
I know right!!!! THIS is why I love Raining Jane and of course Mr. A_Z
I come back to this song for the sheer volume of fun! #yes
I don't know if Mona was suppose to break Jason's guitar but that was so A.W.E.S.O.M.E. and Jason could still play so amazing after that (even though the strings are like out of place and some are falling) Jason Mraz you really are the best singer/songwriter for me :)
For me too
She did not break it. A string has snapped, that's all. It happens *ALL* the fucking time, you know.
Jason is the best. Is Mona married ?
+Adriian Savage Jason is already married. Not to Mona though
yeah breaks it!! but let me tell you on the big event specially on the croner playing instrument there are men playing as the same time with him so whenever the string breaks sound or music continues.. its called backstage opera player
wow they're so tight!
lol at 2:40 "monotone solo!"
This version is probably the best one yet! but i was played in the wrong crowd.
This is what you totally can Call: True Artist!....WoW!
I have nothing against Mona. She's great. But I really, really miss Toca. Toca and Jason made magic
Could not agree more. He was irreplaceable tbh
This is so inspiring. I watched it live, but I'm glad it got posted. Greatness is just an inspiration away.
Amazing Mona & Jason.. Bravo !
Absolutely amazing! Jason is beautiful, as usual, and Mona is just wonderful! Love it!
I am here just for Mona!!! She is a Persian star!
Broken string and he still ROCKS IT!!!!!
Deserve a standing ovation.
man that was fucking awesome!! mona killed it!
2020 now but still unbelievable.
Genius, amazing, brilliant -- thank you for brightening up my week -- Bklyn, NYer 11/4/2012.
I agree!!! I can learn and learn.Excellent benchmark reminder that you can always go farther musically.
Only Broken string + beatbox (cajon) but I feel like I'm watching full band show 😍

I love the way they carry on their show !!! Pure artistS !
True performance and performers... if only there was one string left, Mr. Mraz can make it up.
so inlove with Jason Mraz!!!
MR. AZ you are a boss.
And Mona did probably one of the sickest drum beats I've ever seen on a guitar.
Literally the coolest thing I've ever seen
Thanks so much for putting this up! Especially with the caption, too. THANK YOU. It's awesome how they kept going even though the string on his guitar broke. AWESOME. I miss TOCA, too, but MONA is fantastic, too. :)

They were probably expecting reggae lol

You are DeGeneres and you are so awesome it hurts.. hahaha.. You Bleeping did it.. so cool!!!

A guitar string is broken, and the song sounds like nothing happens.
Dayum Mona's awesome. I loved Toca too. This chick is hot, and has got some madd skills tho.
That crowd .. I don't wanna say .. dead.
