Bruno Mars..

being out of the music scene for many years, this kid has a ton of talent and drive. Great stage presence AND seems to be always sporting a Day Date, but cannot tell if a 36 or 40mm..

Google James Corden and Carpool Karaoke. Then search for the Bruno Mars clip. Lots of vid showing him and the DD...
Not sure if it’s a 36 or 40, but it suits him and his lifestyle no doubt. He is a great talent for sure, and will be an influential mainstream talent for years to come IMO.

Read up on his history too. Pretty compelling stuff, from growing up relatively poor in a family of musicians, to being signed - and then dropped - by Mowtown Records, to his mom’s early death, to his ultimate fame.

And that kid puts on one hell of a show. I’ve seen him twice and he’s truly an ENTERTAINER.

His version of Valerie from the tribute show to Amy Winehouse is incredible.
And like me he’s part Pinoy!

Yep, and if you watch closely, he is wearing the DD in the performance!

Saw him last year while in Las Vegas at an industry conference. He and his band did not disappoint. If you were to look up "born performer", you'd have to see a picture of him in the description.

Most pop stars are pretty generic, but I really enjoy Bruno Mars. I think he has a great voice and he seems like a great performer. He's a great dancer, too. I recently heard his new song with Cardi B and I immediately thought it was a 90s song. It felt so familiar. I don't know why I didn't realize who it was at first.

This song has been stuck in my head all week!

“I Feel good”.
I can see the connection, one that I hadn’t considered, but it does fit!

Not a fan. Too much of a diva.
My son and a friend attended his concert while vacationing at Atlantis Nassau a few years ago. The following day they saw him at one of the food stands on the beach within the resort. They approached him and were immediately dismissed and shunned away by him and his people. Pretty poor treatment of his fans IMO, especially since they were only 2 kids and had supported him by attending his concert.

He likes to emulate James Brown in his stage presence and showmanship. I'd love to check him out live. Hapa Power!!

That man is talent liquified! I saw the DD and know he is of small stature...I think it's a black dial, YG 36mm, with baguettes diamonds, not positive, though.
