Despite the fact that all my friends take the piss out of Bruno Mars, I've always liked him. And this clip is AWESOME! If there was a proshot version of this medley, I would have it on my iPhone in a heartbeat

B.S. he knows how to write songs with good hooks and has mastered many different styles. He is also a great live performer. He reminds me of Prince and if he keeps his head on straight he is going to be around a long time.

You must all be chicks. I refuse to believe anybody with a decent amount of testosterone listens to music as drippy as his. [Edited 7/30/13 6:54am]

It's hard to swallow, ain't it ? I mean, after all, Bruno is getting the props he deserves and he's being regarded as one of the best by music experts... You don't like him, nobody gives a crap about that... And speaking of testosterone, have u got any idea about how much ovaries r getting exploded each night Bruno performs at each city in each state of the US?

Bruno Mars Performs Incredible Mashup At Staples Center

This past weekend we had the opportunity to attend Bruno Mars’ concert at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. Oh what a treat that was.

Aside from his impeccable vocals, dancing, band, and personality, there was one particular performance that stood out. He did an incredible mashup of songs from the 70s to the present. Blending the old school with the new, executing it effortlessly with perfection. Mashing up songs he wrote himself with covers from other artists.

It started with those 4 words from Prince…"you sexy mutha fucka." Yes Bruno, that you are.

Then it quickly transitioned into James Brown’s “Sex Machine." Then came the song everyone has been waiting for him to perform during the tour …"Money Make Her Smile" lyrics performed against what seemed to be the “Sex Machine" instrumentals. What?!

Then throw in a little hint of Rick James’ “Super Freak" to compliment the lyrics that say “she’s a super freak" in “Money Make Her Smile."

Then he does the unthinkable …transitions into a rap song from today’s era backed by the 70s funk instrumentals. Trinidad James’ “All Gold Everything" never sounded funkier. If you’re not a true hip hop head it might have even gone unnoticed. Especially the horn section spitting bars from the song with a funk flare, “this ain’t for no f#@k ni#@a if you a real ni#@a then f#@k with me / this one for the hood ni#@as hipster bitches that shop at Lenox / dark skinned, light skinned, asian and white women / hypebeasts we know about don’t buy shoes unless they popular." The infusion of soul that he put into a rap song …genius.

Parts of the horn section were reminiscent of Average White Band’s “Pick Up The Pieces" mixed with some Kool & The Gang flavor. Regardless, this amazing mashup deserves praise for the sheer creativity and musicality.

"Pop a molly I’m sweatin woo!"

yep, so true!

chrisslope9 said:

i really don't get the appeal of this guy.. he plays an instrument and can play some generic funk.. so what.. is it because the bar is so low nowadays that it's impressive?

I listened to the new album and I heard just a little improvement from the last record...not this great record someone is saying here..

You remind me of my dad.

BTW, I'm 54.

Canayla72 said: >CANAYLA72: OMG NKitty!!! You went to LA. That is so awesome! I really wish I could have been there, I'm going to Indianapolis though. But your review was spot on. Just what I saw on the video I recognized each 70's song, I loved the way he infused a rap song with 70's funk. I said they had a Kool and the Gang flavor. Wow. So cool!This is going to go down in history.

Well I didnt go see him in LA and didnt write the review but I sure wish I did! Livemusictrax posted this review on their blog and uploaded that video footage to Youtube. You're so lucky you get to go see him for a THIRD time! But that mashup he did just proves that he really has a golden ear for music-he's got great musicality and creativity! He basically created a new song out of his song and other's songs!
