MrMallard 08/28/17 1:42:18 PM #1:	Compared to the crop of relevant pop stars we have today (Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Miley Cyrus, Calvin Harris) and other pop groups like The Chainsmokers and Daft Punk (who have become a much more widespread force in American pop music than they ever were before the 2010's), how does Bruno Mars stand up? I actually like his retro-infused songs much better than Ed Sheeran's indie white-boy rapping, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift's concurrent "edgy" periods or the combined efforts of David Guetta and Calvin Harris. Feels is a good song, but I'm not hot on a lot of Calvin Harris' other junk - meanwhile, I generally enjoy Bruno Mars' output, aside from a few stinkers like Grenade and the (once-decent, now overplayed to the point of no return) Lazy Song. Bruno Mars has a cool retro aesthetic and the chops to back it up, which is more than I can say for "I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone, because she's DEAD >:D" Taylor Swift and "Swish swish" Katy Perry, or Calvin Harris sampling songs from 50+ years ago and adding a dogshit build-up and bass drop to it (Shot Me Down). Out of the 2010's most visible pop stars, who do you think is the best and/or most bearable in comparison to the rest? --- There was no money, it was money that you wanted. I went downtown, sold off most of what I owned. Currently playing: South Park: SoT, Okami <cite>MrMallard posted [p:885598683] in Is Bruno M...

thompsontalker7 08/28/17 2:02:52 PM #4:	The Weeknd>>>>>>> blew up, made hits, and achieved wide stream success, all without selling out on what people originally loved about him all along I went to a concert last year and this guy was just singing his ass off for two hours straight, no backtrack. Only two brief interludes. He deserves all the things coming to him --- Joffery Baratheon did nothing wrong. (1 month rent-a-sig) President Trump is awesome.
