Bruno Mars Doo-Wops and Hooligans on Amazon |
My son, who's in a pop-punk band, must have an eye for talent because he also introduced me to Jason Mraz and The Fray before both were really well known.
Bruno Mars & the Hooligans 2012 Grammy Performance
If you search YouTube, you'll find a few videos of the 2012 Grammy performance. I had a video featured here, but unfortunately, they come and go on YouTube, so it's best to search for yourself.
After the Grammys, I searched to listen to other song performances: Britain's The X Factor, 'La Maroquinerie in Paris, The Jungle Tour, The Today Show, and many more! Their performance on The X Factor has a severely respectable 4.7 million views, and it's great! However, I really enjoyed the Paris performance of Runaway (there's a bit of 'language' in the beginning). It's more of an intimate setting, making you feel like you're crashing a private party!
Here's the Paris Performance!

Bruno Mars is the best all-around entertainer since Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson!
He's the total package; wicked fierce talent, charismatic sex appeal, and can he dance! He also has a deep demographic reach. He's a multi-generational talent, and although the younger generation may not appreciate the value of being able to attract all ages, it's rare. It's one of the first signs that a star has the gift of 'staying power.
A little about The Song Runaway by Bruno Mars and the Hooligans
You'll find the song Runaway on the studio album Doo-Wops & Hooligans. It was released on October 4, 2010. The doo-wop sound of the album was chosen to appeal to a broad range of listeners from both genders. The album charted all over the world! If you remember the song, 'Just the Way You Are,' it was the lead single and stood at number 1 for four weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. This album features numerous hit songs; Grenade, Just the Way You Are, Runaway Baby, and Marry You - every song on this album is a hit.
Us 'older people' probably would never hear some of today's singing stars if it weren't for our 'kids'. Last summer while visiting in Kansas
ReplyDeleteCity I got to go to a rehearsal of my son's band and heard music I would not ordinarily have chosen for myself (and LIKED it.). :-) Glad your son introduced you to Bruno Mars.
Very entertaining indeed! I can see that he would certainly bring a crowd alive and to their feet.
ReplyDeleteThat is when I found out about Bruno Mars. And I always enjoy when I hear him on the radio.
ReplyDeleteLove Bruno Mars!
