I'm not big on his style of music but the man can sing and write. He seems very down to earth and just an all around likable guy. They play the shite out of him on the radio but he is one of the few really talented musicians on the radio. He can't help it that they over play his shite. I don't get why some people hate on him.

What are your opinions on him?

I think he's talented and has potential, but I also think he should stop being a pussy. He's like Taylor Swift with a dick.

I'm pretty anti-free radio so I don't hear all his stuff. Not enough to notice that. I agree though. It wouldn't hurt to broaden his style a little.

I just dont care for his voice, and his song, "Amazing just the way you are" ticked me off a little bit. I personally dislike him... a lot. But I do have to give him some credit because he does sing and write his own music unlike minaj, bieber, or any of those fuctards

Sure didn't. Should have kept that for himself.

But it would have hit his image a little. There's a reason these celebs stick with a persona. Look at what happened to incubus by trying to change...

He's pretty much the only pop music artist that I'd even give a single frick about. I respect his talent, he's already blown up worldwide and I don't think he's even approached his ceiling yet.

I also have a bit more respect for those that come up and earn it on the way up, and I especially hate everything put out by the Disney kid stars that is extremely over produced.

He's cool. Don't particularly care for his music other than his really big hits.

Nice singer who can create some very catchy, emotional melodies. But his songwriting is pretty generic and sterile overall. His lyrics are awful.

It's just sad to me that it's gotten to the point when we respect musicians and artists because they actually write their own stuff. I mean look at American idol, people fell in love with that Philip kid because he played guitar like Dave Matthews, who isn't that good on guitar. Music has gone to hell, "Bruno" can sing, but he is NOT a "very talented" musician.

Nah, he's talented. Like that treasure song. It's totally against what is popular now. It has a old school feel but he makes it cool to the new generation.

Not my type of music but the guy is talented.

Yeah the constant white-knighting in his lyrics is awful

I like Bruno too, but a bunch of his music just sounds like The Police. Good, but not as original as people like to think.

Had a conversation with a buddy the other day about Mars. I brought up the fact that 'Locked Out Of Heaven' sounds like a Billy Joel song (I could soooo see late 70's Joel all over that song). Don't get me wrong - not comparing Joel to Mars because Joel is far more talented. After some thought he could see where I was coming from.
