Bruno Mars - “Grenade” (Live Snippet, Bowery Ballroom, NYC)

on wednesday night, Bruno Mars blessed a packed Bowery Ballroom with a sneak preview of some of the goodness that he and atlantic records will be dropping on october 5th, and i was fortunate enough to be there. seeing him live only confirmed his talent and my belief that this guy is about to be a big deal. he produces, he writes, and he performs (and the ladies scream). and he’s a beast at all three. on stage he’s got presence, style and infectiously fun character — there was never a dull moment. and if the writing on “Grenade” is any indication, his album will be just as hard to say no to as what he’s released so far…

oh, AND he can cover michael. and kill it.
