I totally forgot about the whole Bruno Mars / Cocaine thing until out of nowhere he did more community service than he ever did. I think that Bruno Mars’ songs were just there and I don’t really judge it well. I mean I loved “Grenade,” but I swear that it peaked when the girls on <em>American Idol</em> did a group version. I also loved the Rock Band version even though it’s a bit high on my register.

I’m still not won over by “It will Rain” because it just sounds whiny and bitchy. Oh and “The Lazy Song” is catchy mostly because of three reasons: whistling, talking about Snuggies, and playing with one’s self for a while. How can you disagree with snuggies and playing with yourself?

I can’t fully fault Bruno Mars because he’s part Filipino. That’s already winning.
