I confess I'm highly impressed with "Locked Out Of Heaven". I haven't heard other songs of the album, so I'll appreciate orgers sharing their opinions.

Anyway, this thread is gonna be entertaining.

I guess we shall see in 30 years if your claim stands up. I rather doubt it though. Maybe if you were talking about Miguel or Bilal I could see your point, but even those cats would be challenged to come within the same realm as Prince. He just worked so hard for so long, creating a flood of incredible music. But there's a world of music out there, it's possible another Prince might come along. I just think whoever that might be is going to be their own kind of genius, and not the next "Prince" or whoever.

I got a body full of liquor with a cocaine kicker", isn't that Whitney Houston's epitaph? Bruno better watch himself or whatever talent he has will be a goner.

I totally agree! I love Bruno Mars. He's sexy, he's smooth, gorgeous smile, & he sings his ass off! Gorilla reminds me of Prince the most. I love that song & listen to it over & over. My favorite artist out right now.. OHH & The Weeknd.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I just played a song, having not heard anything by him before. Now, I'm always open to embracing new music, but the opening track of his new album wouldn't be out of place on a Take That album!

Hilarious!!!!

Bruno is a very talented guy and I have grown to really like him. Especially after he hosted SNL and did a very good job IMO. His music is catchy and good solid pop music for today's radio. Which I know is not saying a lot.

However, he is not the new Prince or MJ. Also there has been a thread or two already making these claims so its best to do a search before posting a random new thread
The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.

Well, I don't think he's the new Prince, but I certainly think he's a whole world better than 99% of the shit out there these days. He's a great performer and he's written some good numbers too.

I like the fact he plays a few different styles and has a strong persona.

Hoping to see him in the UK this year to see what the show is like.

I hope to be impressed.

The new song is bloody excellent.

Nope. Bruno is too eager to please. Super smiley. Prince has/had this mysterious fuck you vibe. Plus, I know Bruno isn't producing and writing all of his own stuff.

Bruno is just another in a long line of "The next Prince" contenders.

I dig Bruno, but isn't enough for him to be the 1st Bruno Mars?

I don't think that's too far off the mark when it comes to him performing and showing his love of music ,but I think Miguel is closer to being the "next" Prince.

It's like how in the begining of his career Prince was the "next" James Brown,Little Richard,Jimi Hendrix,Stevie Woner and/or Sly Stone

sad I don't like this... at all. So I'll say this only once cool imo:

  • Bruno Mars is not the new Prince
  • D'Angelo is not the new Prince
  • Jamie Lidell is not the new Prince
  • any other person I didn't mention: not the new Prince

Every time Prince decides to 'reinvent' himself, you get 'the new Prince' - and that's it.

Pretty sure Bruno Mars is like the 3rd or 4th bew Prince of this decade alone and we're only 3 years into it.

The problem is...................there is no such thing.

The closest I have seen in term of pure talent is Stokley Williams and even though I think he is a great talent, he is NOT even close 2 Prince.

Hah Stokley's talent speaks for itself as does Prince's. Like I said, it's really unfair to compare another talent to Prince, just like it's unfair comparing other legends to newcomers/upstarts/even veteran performers who are finally getting some mainstream shine after years in the indies.
