I really don't like listening to him singing about playing with himself, and standing around naked with his --- hanging out - but I guess I'm the only one lol

I just heard this for the first time on my local HAC and a few parts were censored. The line where he says "have some really nice sex" the word sex is blurred out. I thought that would be it, but they also blur the word pants in the line "throw my hand in my pants." ???

I find it funny that barely anyone cares about CHR crossovers here.

I find it funny that barely anyone cares about CHR crossovers here. I think most of us are tired of the crap that keeps on filtering through to bother caring. Not saying Bruno Mars is crap (the guy can actually sing) but I can why everyone would be indifferent to CHR crossovers. Can't find a thread for this anywhere... On Hot AC... 17 12 BRUNO MARS Lazy Song 1983 1645 338 I really don't like listening to him singing about playing with himself, and standing around naked with his --- hanging out - but I guess I'm the only one lol I've yet to sit down and listen to this from start to finish, but I did remember that part and that bugged me to no end. Just...no. |

Yeah, and most of the posters in that thread never post over here - it's like David Cook puts a single out (even a bad one), and all of a sudden everyone's listening to Hot AC lol... |

I would understand the obsession if it were a good song but c'mon...cut your losses and hope for a second single that doesn't suck.

Regarding "The Lazy Song" and its subject matter, let's remind ourselves that there was a huge HAC/CHR/AC hit in 1997 about a deranged woman wanting to burn her ex's house down.
Bruno Mars, while not exactly up my alley, does fit this format well, and is a slight departure from the "grunge lite meets American Idol"-style proliferation we're all too used to in recent years.

I don't like the tone of his voice. I can't stand it any more than I can stand Rihanna's in "Run This Town" or "Only Girl in the World". To me, he sounds like the whiny bitch that gets beat up on the playground. His songs are all solid pop tunes, this one especially. He even had a hand in "F**k You." It seems as if the male baritones only break through on the grunge stuff anymore. That could be why people are clinging to David Cook. |

I think it's the Idol factor. Look at any Glambert thread, same thing. |
