Scatman Crothers - He makes me laugh, but in a good way.
Phil LaMarr - One of my favorites, whatever he touches turns to voice acting gold.
Darius McCrary - His performance is...unsettling. Sounds too much like a stereotypical black guy. Doesn't help he's the only Autobot to die.
Scott Whyte - Sounds like Phil, even though he's a "Whyte" guy.
Troy Baker - I didn't think he could do that voice. Not bad, my man.

Troy really impressed me. I'd put him third after Phil and Scatman.

@Mr.Fennoy93 Actually, John DiMaggio can do a really good Scatman Crothers impression.

Minority vote here, but I'm going with Scott Whyte. I thought he was best suited for the role.

@TheVengeanceKnight Changed my vote to Troy Baker. He was awesome, and very different from his usual roles, too. :-)

Scatman Crothers. His voice is always synonymous with Jazz.
ReplyNCZ (Admin) said at 11:26 PM on Sat Jun 2 2012
I'm pretty torn on this one. On one hand, Scatman excelled at making Jazz sound cool and well, jazzy, but I really like Phil's more modern, almost beatnik-like interpretation.

I'm going to go with Phil LaMarr for Jazz, though I did think that the late Scatman Crothers, Darius McCrary, Andrew Kishino, and Scott Whyte were also good.

Troy Baker was okay, but I do think Phil LaMarr is still better, so I'm gonna stick with him.

@Anicomicgeek You gotta admit it's a really good impression of Scatman

I like Crother's performance, but his was too classy. So my favorite is Darius McCrary, I think he makes a great modern-day Jazz and it's more grounded.

My thoughts:
1) Scatman Crothers: Classic performance. I always liked Scatman's acting. HONG KONG PHOOEY, NUMBER ONE SUPER-GUY!!!!
2) Andrew Kishino: Loved his Jazz. Sounded very stylish and cool.
3) Phil LaMarr: Again stylish and cool, LaMarr is unforgettable.
4) Darius McCrary: Even if he didn't get enough lines in the Live action Movie, McCrary makes a great Stylish and cool performance.
5) Wally Burr: Perhaps just his own voice, just with a rapper accent, I liked Wally Burr's stand-in for one reason, he was the only one to have the guts of replacing Crothers (No offense intended).
Hint: I didn't liked Alex Easley's performance in Tatakai.

Phil LaMarr. No contest in any way, shape, or form. His performance with this character was absolutely stunning. With G1, I found that a lot of the characters started to blend together, what with the similar voice styles and lines. What Mr. LaMarr did was add dimension and a unique personality to this character, and he is the reason Jazz is one of my personal favorites. :)

I personally think Scatman Crothers was the best, R.I.P.

I know it was in the live-action film, but should Jazz's VA from the movie, Darius McCrary, be here (And Hugo Weaving in Megatron's page too)? I mean, Michelangelo's VA from the live action movie is in his page.

Scatman rules, he's the best. His voice was PERFECT for Jazz. Phil LaMarr's is good too, it's got a similar vibe to Scatman. Wally Burrs is just weak.
