The Ah-mazing Bruno Mars (feat the one and only King of Pop, MJ)

I've heard tons of people say and I can see why; but I wouldn't agree. Do you think Bruno Mars is the new Michael Jackson? Or that when God took back MJ he gave us Bruno?

For me, they're both incredibly talented, no doubt about it.
I don't know if MJ wrote songs but I think it's safe to assume he did because he was such a big star with a conscience for the environment and the people in it. I love the fact that he did a song about Earth; I'm an environmental activist (well, I usually just nag at my friends to recycle and stuff). He could dance, sing and was just a really influential person.

Bruno Mars has probably only been around for a quarter (or less?) of the time MJ was and he's definitely making his mark. In the modern pop music industry, next to Adam Lambert (I LOVE Adam) no one else in my mind comes close in terms of vocal power and range. But what I really love about Bruno is his songwriting capabilities.

My favourite of his are 'Grenade', 'It Will Rain', 'Rest of My Life' and his new one for sure, 'When I Was Your Man'. The combination of his raw vocals and sweet, heartbreaking and relatable lyrics really hit the right spot especially at the climax of the songs, usually in the bridge. There's one other song that's off the record that I've been thinking of covering for some time to. Apparently wrote it for a female artiste but I came across his version of it on Youtube and it's pretty awesome. Check it ! 'Girl In the Window'

And based on the few videos of his I've watched, the guy's got a sense of humour too. And he's pretty cute, to top it all off.

I wished I'd attended his concert here in Malaysia a few years ago :/
But such a talent will be around for a long time and I'll be sure to redeem myself :)

Anyways, I loved 'When I Was Your Man' so much that even though I was conflicted in the beginning about covering it because of a technicality (Nope, last I checked, I was not a man), after I started playing it on the piano in hushed style, I HAD to do it :)

This is my second Bruno Mars cover. I did 'It Will Rain' before that. I think I can relate to his songs better so yeah. The lyrics are really genius.

I transposed it 2 semikeys higher to Bm

My cousin on the guitar for 'It Will Rain' :)
She's a whale :D

Maybe an MJ cover next :P
