Unfortunately, some people just love to bring race into literally everything, even though they claim they are the same ones that want racism to end.
Bruno shouldn't have to go through a whole ritual to make R&B music that was made by blacks. If people are offended, don't listen.
.@silksonic, @BrunoMars and @AndersonPaak's 'An Evening With Silk Sonic' aiming for #2 debut on the US albums chart with over 100K units first week (via @HITSDD).
.@silksonic Hello boys, promote ‘Smokin Out The Window’ the song is a big hit and needs a good promotion. You guys just released an album, don't go into your caves right now. Quickly confirm your presence at the AMAs.
@SirFlexologist It's not about my fav. It's about putting respect on the artist that came before him. MJ outsold, outperformed, out-awarded, and out everythinged our favs have done. If I can understand that, what's your problem? But you'll never get it so I'm not going to argue with you.
@SirFlexologist Michael walked so these newer male pop artists can run, including your fav. It shouldn't even be a discussion. But as someone from the modern generation, this is why we are not taken seriously. It's not as if Chris came into the game trying to be "the new Michael Jackson" 🙄
@SirFlexologist This is so unnecessary. As a fan of Bruno Mars (who often gets compared to Michael too), I find it to be extremely disrespectful for people like you to compare the newer artists to OGs like Michael for no reason. Without Michael, none of our favs would be here.
@imthehonestboy Omg what will it take for you to stop crying about it? I know Bruno liked a tweet saying Lorde deserves but it's literally nothing but a trophy. At this point I would love Lorde to win when she releases her new album so all of you can finally stop crying.
And even if his upcoming lead single somehow underperforms (not saying that it would), at this point, he has nothing to prove anymore. He can tour, perform, dance, sing, has the most #1s out of all the male artists last decade, won AOTY, and performed at Super Bowl twice.
Bruno Mars is turning into Rihanna at this point lol. But at the same time, he's one of the few artist that can wait a long time without releasing an album and actually get away with it.
