On the pop(ish) music end of the musical spectrum, Jason Mraz brings a spotlight to scatting. His most famous song is "I'm Yours" in which he scats for some of the song. Usually when people think of scatting, they usually picture someone really jazzy. Jason Mraz broke through this stereotype and made it more accessible to younger audiences.
I enjoyed these two videos because as a singer its nice to see a pop artist actually trying to do something beyond the boundaries of whats "normal". I think scatting should definitely be a bigger part in music. I hope artists continue to play around with it.
