Grenade is that bad. Just because top 40 radio may contribute worst lyrics, doesn't forgive the fact that he's a piss poor excuse for a lyrcist. It's not just the grenade that's the problem. Every single phrase is cliche and trite. You take that song to an english class, it would get an F just because of it's poor syntax alone.
Let's break it down
Easy come, Easy go
(so he starts off the song, with a cliche phrase, "Easy come, Easy go," and a cliche songwriting sittuation of a antoginist 'taking' and never 'giving')
(Generic 'you was trouble from the first kiss' and he breaks he's previously established rhyme scheme. And this is not a major problem, if it was done in a clever way, but "Why were they open" is an obvious throwaway line)
Gave you all I had (more cliche)
Bruno, go get a Rhymming Dictionary and a copy of Highway 61 Revisited.

Are you for real?
You're judging his metaphors, but that's just YOUR OPINION, see, all of your post reflects you, you find it unrealistic, damn sure you do and a lot of people, does that make any difference? It doesn't, the song went number one all over the world, people liked it, it has a decent sound & melody, Bruno likes it. It is for a large ammount of people unbearable, and for others it's a good song filled with emotions and feelings. | |

This thread is about Bruno Mars... Hence I'm judging him. And you're defending Bruno Mars, by defending cliché' terms? Really?
You're making comparisons to Bohemian Rhapsody? Really?
Writing about love and lost is cliché and forgivable because it's one of the quintessential human experiences.
But using an abundance of clichés in your songwriting is LAZY. One or two clichés in a song is forgivable. And if you're being Post modern, by all means use more. However, this entire song is a walking cliché and infantile beyond belief. It's not the worst song in the world. But it is an example of bad songwriting
It's all good that you're a Stan, and think he's the Bees Knees. I've met Bruno, he's a nice guy. I like him as a person. But he's a shit songwriter. Is he the only one in Pop music that's bad? Fuck no. But he's pretty bad.

I'm not making comparaisons to Queen's song, since you said that Easy Come Easy Go is a cliché word then it also goes for every other song that has that sentence! | |

He is free to write what he wants, but that isn't what we're talking about. I'm talking purely about the rudimentry elements of decent song writing through an academic scope. If you enjoy the music, more power to ya! I like norwegian black metal, but it's pretty shit from an aestetic stand point of view. And if I put it under a simiilar microscope, it would fail miserably as well. Good songwriting is hard, and in the present state of pop music it is sadly obsolete. But just because lyrical prowess has deteriorated within the last decade or so, purely to save a buck, doesn't destroy the staying power of a properly written song. This is why the indie realm of music is thriving. Once the industry begins to understand this again, it might rebound from it's mire. We are the music makers,

It's all OBVIOUS!!! You CAN'T deny the TALENT! Justin Bieber is the new... ...MICHAEL JACKSON!!! By far i think this is THE BEST SHOW PERFORMANCE by a male artist...or at the very least since the Bad/Dangerous tours. i know you guys would mention Prince, Bobby Brown and athletic-guys who perform very well but this is PASSION in its visual form.. i really think that Justin's vocals still need so much to be perfect but concering PERFORMANCE/SHOWMANSHIP I don't think there's anybody more perfect than him THESE DAYS!
AND YES, the talk about JUSTIN BIEBER AKA Justin Drew Bieber will last for too long in this forum or outside the org... cuz we finally got the promising artist that this generation needs. So why not?
For HATERZ: get a life and delete your accounts.

I believe Prince hosted the Superbowl halftime show with his bnd. Bruno Mars is hosting with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. So, not the same. Prince is a one of a kind and if Bruno keeps making hits he may even become a legend, but he will never be Prince. 99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment | |

Lol. your first criticism 'Easy come, easy go" was also a lyric on Prince's '$' on Lotusflower too.
Prince once rhymed "kicking me in my heart, Tearing me all apart"
You want to talk cliche?
F indeed.

Do not get me started On P's recent song writing... I'm really starting to believe he's finally lost the magic of lyricism. I mean he's always had a fair amount of shit, along with his great stuff. But the ratio as of late has purely shifted towards shit. But the sound is at least decent. We are the music makers,

Row row row your boat gently down the stream merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream
Sidenote: Haven't heard the song but since the poster was commenting on the somewhat infantile songwriting, thought I'd point out the similarity. [Edited 1/30/14 13:39pm] | |

Will see if Bruno EVER has any material worth bootlegging, for decades after this year. Then "THE TRUTH" will set you free.... will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"!

Bruno is one of the most talented artists to emerge in the last few years. He might not blow up like Prince did in the early 80s, but I think he'll be around for a while. | |
