Yeah, it is. I want to know why he/she thinks that?
I mean, if it someone who doesn't like her, he would "hate" Loud or TTT more cuz they are more commercial. I'm really interested to know the reason. :D

Hmm...I didn't there was a person alive who thought that Good Girl Gone Bad was weaker than Rih's first two records. I personally think it's not only RiRi's best album but it's one of the best Pop albums ever.

Bruno Mars is one of them or maybe not? :P
Bruno is one of the rare ones that I like. Chris Brown, Jason Derulo, Usher,... on the other hand are just awful.
Totally agree

For me, Bruno Mars is the worst of them all.

Not to give the dude his dues - he's incredibly talented and I respect the fact he has one of the coolest album titles of the past 30 years.

But his songs, lyrically for me, are shite. "Just The Way You Are" is schmaltzy, "Grenade" is pathetic and "The Lazy Song" and godawful wedding song are just... well, there are no words.

I can't stand that urban charts include songs like Whistle (pop), Back In Time (dance-pop), Starships (dance) or Where Have You Been (house) :x .

Seriously, urban means RNB, Hip Hop, Soul or Blues so why are those types of songs take places on those charts :roll: :x !

Bruno Mars, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake & Ne-Yo could sound really annoying sometimes.

Jason Derulo can't even sing. :lol:

Trey is fine vocally, but sometimes he overdoes his vibrato.

Usher is definitely the best of them all.

No comment on Bieber, that boy still has a looooooooot of work to do.

Uh, actually I like the album but it's my least favorite album by her. :lol: I think most of the tracks are boring. And I absolutely loathe the sampling in Don't Stop The Music. Ruins the song for me. :) I like "Question Existing", "Good Girl Gone Bad", the Reloaded bonus tracks and "Hate That I Love You". The rest is not really my cup of tea.

If you find a club that plays Mumford & Sons, Lana Del Rey, The Band Perry and Caro Emeral, why not :lol: ?

Artists release best ofs far too early and too often nowadays. Why is it such a problem to release one after you had a career of like 30 years and end your career with one that not just includes all singles but really the best of the best... The labels propably think that a lot of them make more profit than releasing one which actually fits the concept of a best of, how stupid - really!

I don't get how some people see the Queen of Pop, Madonna, just as a star from the early 80s and therefore explain MDNA's flopping with this :roll: .

how is it so overrated though? The song isn't like Irreplaceable or Single Ladies where it's been played so much that you want to shoot the radio when you hear it :lol:

I think he likes it so much because it reminds him of Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston in their prime.

He has a soft spot for the both of them...so it makes sense.

Overrated with her fans, they're all praising it like it's a masterpiece. It's good, but nowhere near brilliance.

It is true. You could've definitely heard old school Whitney singing this circa I'm Your Baby Tonight

Grenade is one of the best songs of the last few years, and i'm not saying that as a biased fan.

Just The Way You Are and Marry You are kinda cheesy, but ummm... that's part of his appeal, i guess? Throwback, nostalgic music with a touch of schmaltz and retro at the same time.

I don't know what The Lazy Song is. :oops:
Photoshoot fresh... I'm about to call the paparazzi on myself.
