This song is my favorite on the album. When I first heard it, I instantly loved it!

I think this would be the very first time we agree in something.

If this song were performed by one of the old RnB groups you would think it was great.

I would love it if some of the RnB groups today would do this type of music but they keep doing that stupid trap music so if someone else wants to do so be it.

Are you hating on this guy because he sucks or are you hating because he is not black?

song is trash because the beat and arrangement, are basic, and the lyrics are assinine and full of dated catchphrases and juvenile lingo...i could care less what color he is or isnt...he's garbage...not sure why me not liking this kid or his music has to be justified by hatred or racism...theres black artists that suck too...but when i speak on it, theres no cries of hatred or racism...strange, huh?

Mjcarousal male version?

Most of the Prince lyrics are not that insightful or clever, are they?

I looovvvve this song!!!!! Bruno used humor to express his frustration of being neglected by his girl. cool its so his personality. The phone call from Halle Berry. . Kind of reminds me how Morris Day comes off funny but the song would still sound sexy.

This song is fun and sexy and arranged very well.

Good point. I think the root of the hate Bruno gets is because he is not Black but what is interesting is that Justin Timberlake (a white man who does water down imitation of Black music)does not nearly get the same amount of hate for doing Black music, AT LEAST Bruno acknowledges his influences and doesn't pretend to be original unlike countless other pop stars. Nobody is calling Bruno original but his music is better than countless other garbage that is raved about. I am always bewildered with why Bruno gets so much hate when there are other pop stars who make worse music. Its definitly a racial issue IMO.

the reason justin timberlake doesnt get as much so called "hate", is because his work is better than Bruno Mars, and he's not overly hyped as some sort of superstar/icon like Mars currnetly is...and since when did not liking someones music become "hate" or "racism"?... im still amused by those responses...like for every non-black artist i dont like, i have to express the same dislike for a black artist or its racist...or if there is an artist i dont like, and theyre not black, i need to keep that to myself?...are the commenta being racially profiled?...people actually read the comments and think, "oh he's typing critically about Bruno Mars because his father is black and his mother is Venezuelan, so he must hate Bruno Mars'asian blood"....really?...i talk shit about Bruno Mars because i think he's wack...if you like him, cool...but dont expect everyone to..and dont reach for all kinds of deep rooted evil, to explain away someone not liking that pop garbage he delvers...

im not a Justin Timberlake fan either, but "Rock Your Body" is better than anything Bruno Mars has ever made... its my opinion that his music & limited acting are also better than anything Bruno Mars has ever done...

I'm no Bruno Mars fan but this song is pretty cool. The only thing I would agree
with RJ Orion on is Bruno letting go of the ridiculous wannabe cool lingo which is why I view 24K as whack. I wouldn't say Justin Timberlake is better than Bruno either. lol
In RJ Orion's defense his lack of black pigmentation has nothing to do with him not liking Mars. Everyone doesn't have to like Bruno. We get the same bullshit when it comes to Eminem. And Mr.Mars is closer to black skin than anything else.
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

Well that is definitely your opinion to have if you think the much better singer, dancer, producer and instrumentalist is worse than Justin Timberlake.

Bruno Mars makes ear-candy, but i always get the feeling i heard it somewhere else before. Every artist gets inspired by other artists, thats ok, but especially with his last album, i feel like bruno is not true to himself. I don't hear who bruno is, and with the third album you would think he would be there now.

It's my opinion to prefer Bruno over Justin, yes.
