And so the first day of my blog goes to Sophie, and she wants me to write about my opinions on Bruno Mars...this could be fun...
Well, to begin with, there is no way I can deny the fact that he is a very talented singer and has become successful because of that, but the blunt truth of it is, I cannot stand the bloke.I mean, his songs, I really don't get why he feels the need to sing about the things he does. With a voice as good as his he could sing a lot more meaningful and well written songs. You know what? I think I'm going to rant about each of his hit songs...
Just the way you are
And so, his first number 1, and guess what? It's a love song. Let the ranting begin...I mean, lets face it, if he truly thought "When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change cause you're amazing, just the way you are" Then why did he use some other girl in his video, why did he not use the girl the song is about? To me, this makes me think he really doesn't think she is that amazing...either that or she got sense and told him where to stick it before he managed to shoot the video...
Grenade
And so, we move on to another year, and we find another number 1, and another love song. This one however is a bit different, because it's an unrequited love song, which lets face it, is not a smart move unless your only motive is to make money from people pitying you...which I believe he is doing with this one. I mean, he writes a song claiming he will do all these things for some girl he "loves", I mean catch a grenade? I would do that if the pin was still in place. Jump in front of a train? Yeah I would do that as well, providing I had time to jump back out the way. Basically what I'm trying to say is, he claims he'll do all these things for this girl, but he doesn't realise just how many flaws there are to his plan, and also, some pathetic unrequited love song isn't going to change her mind...
The Lazy Song
Well well well, the title says it all, it is truly a lazy piece of song writing, and more to the point, flaws in his writing yet again, but this time one much more major...
The opening line is one of my biggest problems with this song, he begins with a line which he emphasises multiple times during the song. The line in question is "Today I don't feel like doing anything" but, lets face it, you obviously felt like writing the song on that day otherwise we wouldn't be sat here discussing it would we? I mean, how much more blind stupidity can you get, THE FIRST LINE! And then, moving on, we come to the line "Meet a really nice girl have some really nice sex and she's gonna scream out 'this is great'" and this draws a few other major flaws...1) Nobody wants to hear about your sex life, what kind of perverts do you take us for? 2) What makes you so confident this is going to happen? 3) I'm pretty sure the girls from your previous number 1 songs wouldn't be too happy with this, because you clearly aren't talking about them, what happened to miss "amazing just the way you are"? Or even miss "I would die for you baby"?
Okay, what is there left to be said?As you will of probably noticed by now, I really don't like his song writing, but this doesn't deny the fact I love his voice, I mean, if he were to sing a meaningful song, then I might actually like him, but as it is, I hope the person who throws the grenade to him remembers to pull the pin....
Well Sophie, this is my opinions and rant about Bruno Mars, just as you requested and I hope you are satisfied with it...
Sincerely
The peoples puppet
