"young, wild & free" would be either no 1 or 2 on my list

I've heard "Count on You" a few times in the past 48 hours and I'm wondering why it's missing from this list. Unmistakably Mars.

"Fuck You" - This is just a fun, bitter song. It hits all the same buttons as "Hey Ya!" so I understand why so many people here hate it.
Which buttons are those? "Hey Ya" was fresh-sounding the first time I heard it, and despite that it was so hugely overplayed, I never ended up actively hating it.. "Fuck You" made me angry the first time, and every time since.
I loved it the first time I heard it, and so did America. Define "America" please.

"Hey Ya" also isn't bitter.

I guess it just means it was a big hit in Amur'rica. It's not the same thing as being a pop hit elsewhere, if America loves your song it features heavily on all sorts of ads and parodies through the year.

I actually have no idea what he meant, just guessing.

FYI while we're doing the anecdote-as-data thing i knew PLENTY of women who hate bruno mars and think he's pretty much irredeemable

Include me in the list of women who hate him but I don't even see why gender should be a matter of discussion in here tho. The statement could hold true for all pop artists since the beginning of times. Women are generally more open in their love for dumb pop music and rarely hold guilty pleasures.

Bright, cheery sounding retropop with angry lyrics about a breakup.
Have you never listened to the lyrics?

"y'all don't hear me you just wanna dance" is the only genuinely bitter lyric in "Hey Ya"

No prob some dude--maybe it's a new single this week.
Don't y'all think his reggae-ish songs (Lazy included) are more irritating than the R&B ones?
― Fonz Hour (Eazy), Friday, 24 February 2012 14:33 (1 year ago) Permalink
they're pretty cheesy, although i don't know if they're any cheesier than the retro R&B songs (and i'm fine with most of the contemporary R&B-sounding songs)

Bet a lot of dorm action has been underscored with "Just The Way You Are."

that seems like his most housewife-y song imo

I'm not going to encounter Bieber songs on adult-targeted radio throughout my day as often, either, though! Not that I'm trying to listen to Lite FM stylings but urrrgh

every time i hear "it will rain" i expect him to break out into the "chasing pavements" chorus

ha i can kinda see that, althoguh i personally think "It Will Rain" is so much better. on the local pop-leaning R&B station it sounds so right in between Miguel and Trey Songz joints.

the funny thing about that song is the one line where he says "i won't be your mom's favorite" or whatever when i'd venture to say he's in the top 3 of current pop stars that moms love/are even aware of
