That’s my Bruno Mars! Clean sweep of Grammy’s

I thought he would have won one of the Big 3. Everyone was talking about Kendrick Lamar and Jay-Z. But the people who vote, know that there are several factors which make up a good song, record or album.

Sample hooks and rhythms from 70’s and 80’s music? cool

I am a Bruno Mars fan. But, he’s hardly original in his music. Excellent entertainer though.

Nah - don't be hating on a very talented guy that knows how to capture what moves people

70s music was the best in history, for practically all genres

He simply revived the funk and soul and his live performance is up there with MJ and Prince, who both borrowed from James Brown

Bruno Mars is legit and deserving

Also, his music is not plagiarized like others. He creates within the genre.

Bruno Mars and the Hooligans are talented performers reminiscent of the 70s bands.

Bass and horns are tight.

Bruno Mars will never be great because he has no soul in his music...he is purely commercial and formulaic....he represents a generation made "great" by marketing....

But he said it himself...he wants to be a billionaire fricking bad...dollars first, music after...

With this present generation of getting rich quick in all industries I have time for few artists/writers:

Adele
Coldplay
Imagine Dragons
Khalid

He has a really good LIVE show.

Up there with prince and MJ tho? Not for me

No disgrace in being in the conversation though.

I’ll definitely agree on that.

As I said, I’m a fan
