What's your opinion of the new song called: UpTown Funk by Brun0 Mars ?

Sounds like a decent cover of a 70s or 80s funk song. Like I've heard it before on the top 40 charts. Soon Bruno will be doing the moonwalk and legions of people will start falling on their knees to sick on the pr9verbial teet.

Watch what you say cause uptown funk you up

More 70's black exploitation film rip offs. He's dressed like a gay pimp and I mean gayer than normal pimps dress (whatever that means) Other than the fact that it is about prostitution then yeah. "catchy" tune...and by catchy I mean AIDS infests garbage.

Ima let me finish...because I commented before the video was over.

No man goes to the hair salon and gets rollers put in his hair so he can sit under the dryer. That is faggy as fuck.

Uptown Funk you up, uptown funk you up.

I love the kid. He is a brilliant entertainer, especially with the retro-soul stuff...he makes me want to dance! Here's another one you might like. [link to www.bing.com]

And the hair curlers are a gag, but also a nod to the Godfather of Soul. It's his 'James Brown at the Beauty Shop' look.

I like it. I think the quality of music is getting better.

Video was awesome too. Old school style, no need for the crazy props like the Katy Perry ones. I saw Dark Horse for the first time and was thinking of all that money that mustve been poured into these cheap looking eyesore props, all for what? In comparison Bruno Mars was old school style city street where they looked like they were having fun

I don't like it at all not because I don't like Bruno Mars reflexively or that kind of music in general it just feels very contrived in a not good way

thanks .gov...I actually do love it too. That dude moves like a robot.

Genius!!! Love love love!!!

I like Bruno because he's a hellova performer and has actual talent unlike mopes like KANYE

This. Nothing original about it.

Maybe not but there is still some skill there...they have a tight performance

???? should it be melodic alien beats from another solar system?

All songs will always be similar, but not the same. Its like saying you heard one country western song, you've heard them all.

Agree. Aside from the likes of Taylor and Katie (and Kanye), there are some great artists breaking through today.
I feel that quality music is on a 40 to 50 year cycle. We are now entering one of those cycles. The last one was the 60's/70's and befor that was the big band swing era.

Right on...there are some good things starting now...and most will not be on any reality show. Taylor swift...god what an evil malignant cant...thankfully those who are magnitudes more talented than that ho are becoming more popular (via performance and talent creds).

And it is so overplayed, I change the radio channel every time it comes on. Extremely tired of it.

It SUCKS

Treasure was way better, first time I heard it, I thought I was on a Casey Kasem show. Bruno is a mess of talent & hard work regardless. Plus, if you talk shit to his face, he'd likely be able to mess you up too.

The Tame Impala sounding stuff is a little more for me.

its like the 70s all over again. I had enough of that first time around.

Bruno Mars is Michael Jackson's kid

:gaythread2:

The intro is great, with just the back beat and the caveman grunts, but then the guitar comes in and it gets a little too busy. I would have left it a lot more stripped down.

Back in the day, a little bit of goofiness could really help a song like this get traction to become a timeless classic. Nowadays, people just don't seem to be willing to want to take a chance on that kind of aesthetic. It can really turn out hot if it works just right though.

He's actually more like Elvis Presley's kid, here is video of him performing at age 4 as an Elvis impersonator.
