Am I the only one not excited about this guy? He’s like a lame Michael Jackson tribute artist, and I’ve seen much better while under the influence of buckets of vodka at resorts in the Caribbean. As for this song being on the Breaking Dawn soundtrack, I understand that the film execs want the most cutting-edge, the trendiest of musical acts, but this Bruno Mars character is a flash in the pan, trust me. I mean, remember the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack that came out in 1996 (I’m dating myself, I know)? It had some KILLER tracks on it. Garbage, Butthole Surfers, Radiohead … solid stuff.
However, Bruno Mars is the Romeo + Juliet equivalent of Gavin Friday’s ‘Angel‘. In fifteen years, people are going to say, “Yup, I remember I liked that song for about a minute. … I was such a cheeseball.”
It’s like that, guys.
oh i love him he was so awesome when he did that Amy Winehouse tribute at the VMAs. at least he can sing and is not all auto-tuned. its nice to hear a real voice. of course this is my humble opinion :)!
