I didn't care for his last album.

I don’t own/couldn’t name a single Bruno Mars album. I do know a number of songs though and have seen plenty of live performances (not in person) to know that I’d pay good money to see him perform. He’s like Michael Jackson, Prince, and James Brown in one.

PHATJ gets it.

Lol, kinda

i feel like the 311 rumor and the "Marilyn Manson is the kid from Wonder Years" rumor were like 6 months apart.

that was a good year.

I never heard the 311 one but I do remember the Marilyn Manson one.

the 311 rumor was that 'K' is the 11th letter in the alphabet, so 311 meant KKK

i just laughed out loud thinking about that

I laughed reading it. Then I laughed again at your post about laughing about it.

The 90s were/was hilarious shit

yeah I remember the kkk thing. they had to deny it publicly at one point i think.

I have never ever listened to a 311 song. I didnt know they were a band until 2005 when a guy told me he liked that band. Of course i didnt know what he was talking about.

Bruno Mars is really talented but man, he beat Lamar? Lorde? Bullshit. He music is so fucking safe and bland it hurts.

I agree with PHATJ too but I don't think his last album reflected any of that. It was too slick and over-produced. I have some of his earlier stuff and it's more soulful and personal...not look at me! big popstar! with all the money and the girls!

I want to fight you but I don't know anything about Bruno Mars beyond his bland mall-pop singles

Hell, when I was in high school we ran the gamut from talking about Rod Stewart and stomach pumping and Marilyn Manson's rib removal.

what was the band with the police code for pot? It's on the tip of my tongue and I don't want to Google it.

So you just mean he steals their dance moves?

Hahaha

The only song I like of "his" is Uptown Funk bc he name drops my hometown.

Otherwise, I don't care one way or the other about Bruno Mars. He is what he is, and a lot of people love it... so go have fun and shake your money maker.

steals?

Modern pop, especially in the US, lots of bad stuff. I checked the entire billboard 100 last summer, and nearly every song was pure garbage. But Bruno Mars has an amazing talent. A class above the rest. He has some great singles as well, and a real presence, that few entertainers can match.

There’s tons of great pop music out there right now. I think it’s the only vital genre of music going right now. Mars has a couple songs that are okay but he bores me overall. “Uptown Funk” is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard.

what do you mean by vital? as in, something being commoditized into lining the pockets of record industry peoples? or, the genre that is the best example of this era of human?
