I'll say it again.....just because u play....doesn't mean it's any good.

I can name at least 5 songs from Beyonce that I can listen to. I can name ZERO from Mars or Drake.

This is where I am coming from though, (and you are someone whose opinion I really value), given how critical you are of Brunos content in terms of innovation and originality, I find it shocking that you would pick Beyonce over him when Bruno is objectively more artistic than her in his music. He actually plays instruments (which I know you are big on). This is why I say it feels like your issue with Bruno is a personal issue that you would pick a "artist" who makes trashy music over him. I can't take that opinion seriously.

Now, if you haven't listened to any of his music, how can you say whether his music is good or bad if you have never listened to it??? (which I dont believe )

I listen to everything as I liked knowing what is going on in the industry.

Some stuff moves me......and some doesn't. The 3 u named certainly don't move me.

Being able to play music is a talent I respect but making uninspired music don't move me.

I grew up on musicians making good music......I'm not going to change now.

But you much rather listen to Beyonce over an artist who copies 80s style music? I don't get the logic behind your argument?

Lol......did u read my comments? I don't listen to any of those artist.

I can name 5 songs in Beyonce's catalogue worth a listen.

And you think that trash is better than Bruno Mars?????

Your losing some credibility with me.

And you know you have listened to some Bruno Mars in order to form the opinion you have (at least I hope) so why act as if you haven't?

Gray your shooting your credibility in the foot because you reasoning doesn't make any logical sense.

I asked you to pick one artist if you had to choose out of the three. I purposely picked those three for a reason because the other two "artists" are mediocre compared to Bruno. I was trying to make a point.

You oddly prefer to listen to Beyonce (which is perfeclty fine) BUT this completely invalidates your entire argument against Bruno.

You can't sit up here and argue passionately that Bruno is fake funk, makes bad music, isn't your style BUT then turn around and say you would prefer to listen to Beyonce out of the two. Whaa?

I am sorry but I don't take your argument against Bruno seriously at this point. Nobody never called the man original, nor innovative but just just praised him for trying to bring old sounds back and making quality music compared to his peers which INCLUDES Beyonce.

I can't believe you said this, lost so much credibility with me.

lol...your basic argument is that because Mars can play that makes the music better than someone who doesn't. I simply don't agree with that premise. At the end of the day, any artist worth 2 cents makes u feel their work. None of those 3 meet that criteria. Remember....u made me pick 1. I don't listen to any of them because none of them move me.if I named my top 30 groups from today's music...none of them would be within 50 picks.

Your having your own debate in your head because I never said that.

I never mentioned him being better because he played instruments specifically. I said his music is more artistic and more quality filled compared to Beyonce and Drake.

You can't even acknowledge that his music is more quality compared to the other two (you dont have to be a fan to acknowledge that fact, good grief)

AGAIN, this is why I said, it seems your issue with him is personal.

Now the rest of your paragraph is you making excuses and deflecting for my original question because I think you yourself realize that the logic behind your response is...dumb.

I mean you really named dropped that garbage ass 7/11 song as a song u would listen to over a Bruno Mars song???

You cant be taken seriously anymore

it just goes to show u just how awful Mars must for Beyoncé to take a slot over his work. [Edited 11/21/16 23:35pm]

No it just shows that your full of B.S

That you would choose to listen to a ratchet degrading trap song that is composed of shallow and immature lyrics over Bruno Mars.

I never ever want to see you talk about Mint Condition, D Angelo, Gap, etc ever again....

Disgraceful

the lyrics on his latest stuff are complete and utter shit

did he sit down and say "let me write the most shallow drivel i can think of"?

Mars........has u in a trance. I hope u wake up.

Folks were saying how great Alicia Keys was a few years ago.....when I was telling them she was a fraud. They eventually woke up as well.

You just proudly professed to prefering that dumb 7/11 song

Boy BYE!

That is probably the most shallow drivel crap ever made, certainly there is no Bruno Mars song that is worse than that shitty song.

Girl, it's been clear as day he has a personal issue from him and he's talking out of the side of his neck when he says "I know music" or "I love music". You can't just say something and not show it, that's not how things work.

I've been lurking and seeing his posts from 2013 and I could already tell it was so. Most people are bullshitters and he pinged HIGH on that list!

And he is excused this time because he has many thgouhtful and inspired siongs under his belt on his last albums. Im fine with him making a r&b funk album following the unprecedented massive success of "Uptown Funk".

I love this part on Calling All Lovely's when he calls Halle Berry and her answering machine comes on LOL!!

Exactly!

Guys, why it's so hard for you, i'm able to listen to 24k dance and have so much fun with it and then the next song To Ramona from Bob Dylan, next Love Yourself from Justin and then Shockadelica from Prince and so on... i love my playlists this way. Some top 40 songs mixed with the old music i love so much, what's the problem?
