Doo-Wops & Hooligans

Perfect! My son loves it!

Bruno Mars literally sprung up out of nowhere this year when he appeared on B.O.B.'s hit single Nothin On You. He had an undeniably smooth voice with a unique quality that made him instantly likable. I will admit that Bruno Mars does show flashes of Michael Jackson in his voice in the same type of way that Ne-Yo has some shades of MJ in his voice. This is not to say he sings or sounds like Michael, just that certain notes he hits reminds of the late great. However that little quality did not cause me to overrate this album. Bruno Mars is extremely talented and is a star waiting to happen. Having also appeared on Travie McCoy's successful single Billionaire as well as helping produce the magnificent Cee-Lo Green single "F You", Bruno finally drops his much anticipated album. Earlier he released a 4 song EP "Its Better If You Don't Understand" which was a great record. However, 3 of those 4 songs made it to his debut album Doo Wops & Hooligans. That would not be so bad if the album was longer than 10 tracks. It's still not really a problem since the album is filled with great songs. The single Just The Way You Are is 5 stars all the way as well as Grenade, Talking To The Moon and Lazy Song. Bruno Mars mixes soul with reggae and pop but does so effortlessly and with such style and grace. Vocally he's one of the best male singers to emerge in quite a while and the production is timeless. The lyrics are original and sung with passion. Cee-Lo Green, B.O.B., and Damian Marley make cameos but Bruno was not outshined on his own project. Doo Wops & Hooligans is easily one of the better albums of the year. I'd rank it up there with Janelle Monae, Nneka, and Corinne Bailey Rae's efforts. It's unfortunate that Bruno Mars has encountered a bit of trouble as this album was released but it's easy to see he has the talent to be a cornerstone in music for years to come. 5 stars.

This is great catchy music with great lyrics. Also great price and speedy delivery!!!

Love this CD

I saw & heard Bruno Mars for the 1st time when he performed on Saturday Night Live, & I immediately downloaded Doo-Wops & Hooligans. No one is more surpised than me that I LOVE this album. It's not the type of music I usually listen to but Bruno has a great voice & a knack for crafting catchy tunes & lyrics, and this album is just plain FUN. Upbeat tempos, good instrumental arrangements, solid vocals, just all-around well produced & well-performed, great to listen to if you're trying to get up & get moving. In my opinion, Mars' talent & skill far exceed that of many other performers in the Pop genre. 25 years old, 7 grammy nominations, his first first two charting radio singles as a lead artist making No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 List -- what's not to like. The CD download price makes it a no-brainer to check out Bruno & see what all the buzz is about!!

Love Bruno Mars. Wonderful music and songs. Love the most when the grandsons sings along! Melts my heart 💖

This record was a great price and came packaged securely. The record was in great shape.

Regarding Rocky Mountain Radar detectors, I have a virtually brand new RMR Model #475 radar detector that I have been told by RMR that it has old technology, and the reason why I have been getting stopped recently, going by cops with cameras pointed right at me and not getting any signals at all, etc. The only thing this detector does well is make a lot of noise every time it goes by buildings, but never when there is monitoring going on via speed traps, cops in a cars near me, etc. I have been using radar detectors since the beginning and, although it was considered big money at the time costing almost $300, the Escort was the best detector I've ever had. But after about 30 years, even it needed to be replaced regarding losing sensitivity and new technologies coming along. But if RMR thinks I'm going to be buying new units from them every year or so, it might be better to go back to Escort and spend a little more money, regarding at least you are getting what you are paying for. I was even offered, as the only thing RMR could do for me, to send my detector in for $60 to get it upgraded, but was told the upgrade wasn't going to put the new technologies into it. So why don't I just save the time time and throw some more money in the toilet?!? I new the new technologies make things real light, but I'm not sure there is really much more than a couple of lights and lot of noise makers in their units. When I stopped using my Escort I was still able to sell it, regarding it still was of some value and able to do some detecting. When I get my next detector, there is no way that I'm going to be able to comfortably sell this RMR detector to anyone, unless I knew they were looking to get screwed by buying something absolutely useless.

Another for the collection

El CD llegó en perfecto estado, la primera obra maestra de Bruno Mars, que no defrauda. Cada canción es especial y no te cansas de escuchar estas letras simples, románticas, que evocan energía y felicidad. Os recomiendo sus 3 CD, PARA MI DE LO MEJORCITO DE ESTA EPOCA MUSICAL.
