Yeah, he made a good choice on both of these songs.

Bruno Mars has easily made a huge impression on me. I couldn't imagine this song or "Nothin On You" being as likeable with anyone else's vocals.

I have to agree with others here about Bruno. His EP has become one of my favorite things to listen to this past month or so. Making him an addition to this song is a huge plus in my book. I doubt I would have liked it otherwise, TBH.

I prefer female singers over males usually but i think Bruno Mars is probably the best new male singer in awhile . this along with Nothin On You are probably my favorite songs this year so far. This. I know B.O.B. has 2 songs on the chart right now but I don't thing anyone gives a crap about him. LOL. Travie, on the other hand, holds his own IMO. Still, this song and Nothin On You are all about Bruno.

B.o.B. is very popular for people who actually like/appreciate rap.
But yes this song is all about Bruno if you ask me.

I think he picks good tracks to rhyme over, but he ain't saying crap. I am still waiting to be blown away by him as an emcee. But perhaps that's just me. LOL

He's too commercial and poppy sounded for good hip hop.

I like B.o.B. I'm not a hip hop fanatic, but I like his rapping. I thought his raps in Airplanes were really good.

B.o.B. certainly holds his own on "Nothin On You" & "Airplanes." His presence is just often overshadowed by the guest vocalist, but not completely. His presence is more noticeable on "Nothin On You".

I think that's what it is for me. He hasn't ever been the most memorable thing on any track IMO. What did it for me was when I heard that Janelle Monae remix he's on, and even Nicki freakin Minaj was more memorable. But his verse on Airplanes is not bad, I agree. Em is better. And the track itself. If B.O.B. wasn't on it it wouldn't lose anything. Travie McCoy is one of those people that gets by on charm & flow IMO. He just has that laid back boho vibe. I think he and Bruno work together to make this song as good as it is.
