First off, this is NOT a doo-wop album. What you’re going to hear is Bruno Mars (aka, Peter Gene Hernandez) sing some luscious urban soul songs. My current favorite is “Grenade” but some of the others are edging their way into my consciousness, too. Bruno Mars is an artist to keep an eye on after hitting it out of the park with his first solo album. The kid has Talent! GRADE: A-
He really does remind me of Michael Jackson. Nice.
Bruno Mars is not only a talented singer, Patti, but he’s also producing records of plenty of other artists. I like his production work on “Billionaire.”
I am so pissed off by the idiocy of American voters, it will be difficult not to use the Big Six of four-letter and related words, but why the *uck did he name it doo-wops if it’s not a doo-wop song? Urban soul to tired for him? Bah.
Calm down, Rick. The American “booboisie” (as H. L. Mencken called it) has been flim-flammed again. The Republicans are promising to pass the Bush tax cuts while claiming they’re going to bring down the deficit. Voters don’t realize the tax cuts will INCREASE the deficit. I propose that all candidates for elective office (and present office holders) take a basic economics test. Clearly, basic economics is unknown to these folks.
Of course no reply to my diatribes, here or elsewhere, is necessary. Bah. Double Bah.
It’s better to rant and get it out, Rick. It lowers your blood pressure.
George, have you heard Ce-Lo’s latest?
No, I haven’t heard Ce-Lo’s latest, Drongo. But I’ll check it out.
LOVE IT!
I’ll be ordering it momentarily.
Thanks, George.
Bruno Mars has Talent, Beth. He bears watching.
I’m going to have to give this a try based on the sample…
I think DOO-WOPS & HOOLIGANS is a strong first effort, Paul. You’ll like it.
