Bruno Mars - thoughts?

by **Deb** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 1:05 pm

Love this kid's voice, I think he's a refreshing change in the crop of pop/rap stars out there.

This Puerto Rican/Filipina has tons of soul and swagger. Reminds me a little of MJ. LOL, of course I dig the motown influenced delivery.

Anybody have any albums of his?

I thought this was going to be a thread about O.J. Simpson's shoes.

lol ... I googled it. He was wearing the Bruno Magli shoes the night he *didn't* :roll:

kill Ron and Nicole.

As for the kid, he's pretty darn good. He and The Beib give the shit industry of pop music a glimmer of hope.

My daughter has his cd. I like his music! Probably Grenade is my favorite so far. I think he's one of the ones that does have talent.

Man, that kid has an incredible resemblance to Sam Cooke.

Old people generally don't accept music of the youth. Even the ones with talent.

I LOVE the song Grenade.

I even "Liked" the page "Throwing grenades at Bruno Mars' girlfriend to see if he's all talk" on Facebook! :lol:

I think he is awesome and a huge breath of fresh air in today's music. He's a pretty big writer for others as well.

I was thinking I might need to indulge a bit tonight. I have a few cold ones in there calling my name. Those are my thoughts. :twisted:

You didn't take a "thoughts" option because of my old people post, did you?

I heard the Idol hopefuls singing this song last week...they did it better. heard the real song for the first time this morning. Absolutely horrible. True Story....

by **Marabelle** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 2:47 pm

He's awesome! I like his "live" sessions of these songs better than the official versions! He was amazing at the Grammys! I'm sure we will see alot more of Bruno and the gang! Simply amazing!

She listed 3 songs. If you mean Grenade... it's not horrible. You are just old too.

If Mars can keep his coke at home, he might be alright.

True story: A friend of mine at work, John, who does cabin service (cleaning the airplane) was standing on the jetbridge waiting for the passengers to get off so he could start cleaning. He was standing there and an OLD man, not unlike myself, evidently :twisted:

with a bag in each hand, walked over to him and very quietly asked "Son, would you pull my pants up?" John paused for a few seconds and said "pardon me, sir?", and the elderly gentleman repeated his request. So John, being the good airline employee he is (that's a joke in itself) reached and lifted the mans trousers up to the appropriate level. The elderly gentleman thanked him and walked up the jetbridge.

Needless to say, we've never let him live that one down. :lol:

OMG...isn't that the truth!! I get so tired of hearing people my age tear apart EVERY young artist out there.

Just because they are young does not mean they have no talent. It reminds me of my parents not liking my music.

It does make them sound like a bunch of old farts!!

As for Mars.....I have liked what I have heard so far. The very first song I heard of his reminded me a little of MJ.
