Just thought I start a Appreciation Thread for the gorgeous and talented Mr Bruno Mars....So y'all can post all things related to Bruno Mars here :) and talk to other fans too....

I was surprised he to learn he is one third of the production team The Smeezingtons and has co-wrote for Brandy, K'naan's song Waving Flag, even more surprised about the Flo-Rida track Right Round, Justin Bieber, Sean Kingston, Sugababes (didn't realise he sung the hey bit in the beginning of Get Sexy!), B.O.B. and so on....

bought his new EP - It's Better You Don't Understand yesterday off itunes, it's a shame there's 3 tracks when there is supposed to be 4....but I love his EP though! the songs are fantastic and his silky smooth vocals were on point, he can hold a note alright!....Look forward to his debut CD!

If you love Jason Mraz's stuff, already a fan or love the collaborations he's done with B.O.B./Travie McCoy then you'll probably love this EP!

Have any of you heard his new EP?

    I was waiting for this thread :)

    Big fan of Bruno Mars, one of the few talents who can play multi instruments (keyboard/guitar/drums) and sing (in tune) at the same time. His voice is very soulful, and beautiful.

    Love the EP, but I prefer other songs :).

    Going to see him support Travie McCoy when they come to the UK this October.

    Who Is
    Talking To The Moon
    Again
    - just some songs to check out if you haven't heard him :)

    He has a great voice, and he's just impossibly cool

    Fantastic soulful voice. Just hope he doesn't do a Mr Hudson and become famous for guesting with other artists; he has a fine solo career ahead of him, imo.

    He's just featured on Cee Lo's new song "F*** You", but should be steaming ahead with his solo career as he has a new album "Doo Wops & Hooligans" coming out :)

    Didn't realise JTWYA would be released so soon!! :) I guess they pushed forward cos the cover version was rather popular and in the top 20 werent it?! Count On Me has really grown on me, the song is lovely ode to friendship that we can all connect to :) The Other Side is my favourite too along with this....

    It's #1 now on itunes! Let's get Bruno Mars to #1 this week!!

    he is set to release it on "January 24, 2011", which is great. "Grenade" will go to #1 in the charts and his album will get more attention.

    His album was released in the UK, however it ONLY charted #79 on the album charts.

    But he is set to re-release it on "January 24, 2011", which is great. "Grenade" will go to #1 in the charts and his album will get more attention.

    That was on import alone. Not released here to January.
