So really don’t know what you are talking about.
This is a weirdly specific hypothetical concept to laud someone for
That song is an amazing artistic achievement in itself.

I listened to like 30 seconds and it sounded like a boring Police rip-off.

Typically I would want more out of an homage than “I’m going to make this sound exactly like The Police and in case people still can’t tell I will put women in police costumes in the video.”

That’s a cover. Since it samples Every Breath You Take.

That Bruno Mars album was probably the worst of the 5 they could have picked.

It samples The Police song, so it’s not the same thing.

Taste and all that, I’ll agree he had made some boring music in his later years, but especially The Police were groundbreaking.

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
