Bruno Mars, Morris Day and The Time - Tribute a Prince ||Performance in the Grammys Awards 2017||

[@docd-monik4380]

Seriously tho, anyone hating on Bruno, have you heard his music or watched him perform? He is keeping the old school flavor alive. Much of his sound and showmanship is clearly carrying the torch for the RnB/Soul/Funk of the good old days. Dude can dance, he can sing and plays several instruments. As far as new artists goes, he is the closest thing to Prince that this generation will ever have....

[@MartinStrang]

Absolutely! Ive been to many concerts, Im a musician as well, Ive never seen more energy and class in a live performance than Mr Bruno Mars. Ive you have the chance to attend one of his concerts, jump on it!

I know I'm late to the ball, but I have to add a story. I was driving to work one morning, listening to MD and the Time. A guy on a corner I stopped at was working on his push lawn mower. He heard the music from my open window and stood up and started dancing while looking for the source of the tunes. When he saw it was my car, he smiled and waved and kept dancing. It was one of those organic, happy, honest moments of pure joy between humans.

Got to see them at Summerfest in Milwaukee and was one of the youngest (23 @ the time) doing the bird and singing jungle love at the top of my lungs!

[@ThomasLovelacetommystix]

Most definitely!!! Loved it!!

[@davidgeorge1294]

The time ripped it! Morris and Jerome exactly the same. You could see the generation gap. Most never heard this before . You could tell the ones that knew it, loved it and we're dancing in the isle's. They rocked it. The time was then and still is bad ass! You can't hear jungle love and remain seated.

[@lorebay2593]

Amazing, them old dudes doing the same act they did 40 years ago and still get paid to do it. That means it was as good now as it was then.

Prince would be proud at that guitar solo at the end. Well done Bruno

[@necolabrigman9252]

Wow he did his thing..if you closed your eyes you could almost feel and think it was prince playing and making that guitar sing..Awesome job Bruno loved it

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Completely different voice. But respectable performance.

[@pablofigueroa14]

Bruno is the Man keep it going young man big fan from Hartford CT!!!!!!!!!

[@drtcason]

Dang Bruno! That was genius. That was truly an awesome tribute.

[@prakharagrawal153]

in present generation, Bruno is just levels above others as a pure versatile performer. Not many will do this kind of performance live on stage.

[@rapunzelrose68]

Much like Prince I'm his lifetime

[@user-ib9ch8he3f]

Bruno Mars killed it! Amazing job!

[@jasonsorrell2402]

Bruno is literally the Frank Sinatra of this Century, doode can perform like very few, that was good

[@goatjo6802]

His better than Frank Sinatra bro and a complete performer

[@KnotPhound]

Frank Sinatra was an incredible singer, but not much else. Bruno is an exceptional singer, dancer, multi-instrimentalist, really good songwriter and music producer. He's a very complete package, just like Prince was.

[@leerogers4219]

Say what you will, Mars held His own on this.

[@cd2256]

ok, but I just got done seeing Prince doing this.

[@image3320]

BRUNO may be the closest thing at this point. Prince has been gone over a year How could you have just seen him doing this? This the new normal Bruh

OMG! Bruno Mars is fantastic. I didn’t know that he could play the electric guitar! Great tribute to the Amazing Prince!

[@Andie1951]

Bruno can do everything. He is ultra talented. He will be a legend after he's a superstar. He's the most talented musician of my lifetime. Mesmerizing.

[@Lordestroyer]

Only one man can do an honor so well. Bruno Mars!!!

[@ln8606]

He is one of the few artists of this generation that my ears are inclined to hear. Bruno has wide range (musically and vocally) and you can tell each song is of high quality-they can each stand the test of time on their own. Bruno's workmanship is palpable.

[@mosfrostiest]

As an old-school Prince/Revolution Head, I am 100%, totally feeling Bruno's interpretation. Don't think anyone else could do it better.

[@stephstarotinterpretations9682]

The right man to play/sing that song. Prince was smiling down on him.

[@theworldaccordingtoallie1176]

I totally agree!

[@lisacox3750]

The Time did an amazing job...too bad so many people in the audience were too young to appreciate what that really meant. Prince grew up with them. They really knew him. Of course, Bruno did a great job.

[@toniapearson4695]

Yes all their life, and morris should also be recognized for all the beautiful ideas he gave prince@ vice versa that's why no matter how big prince got in his heart he never forgot about morris!!

This was a great tribute. Why the hell was the audience so dry, except for the gentlemen doing the Walk? The Time never disappoints, and Bruno did it justice. The guitar riffs were spot on.

Is there anything that Bruno Mars cannot do? Talent, class, effort - he's got it all!

He did Prince proud with this tribute

[@bacchuslax7967]

Just saw Purple Rain again night before last. Saw it in the movies as a teen in 85. One thing Prince did was always encourage other artists. He’d be proud Bruno paying tribute. People need to lighten up.

[@georgemyers7980]

Bruno hell of a performer. Definitely talented musician on many levels. Good job Bruno and everybody on that stage

You right my man!!!

[@keishamckoy6135]

Bruno is super hottt🔥 🔥. I hope I don't offend anyone when I say I want a night spent with him. Honestly not just because he's hott and sexy but he's a untouchable performer, his concerts are always bomb 💣, and he's such a inspiration. He came through homelessness and other obstacles. He's amazing.

Great tribute.

Props to Bruno, for doin' what he does, the way he does it. Old school funk is back, and Bruno is one of the major reasons why.

Morris Day even had Jay-Z movin. That says a lot about his and The Time’s legendary impact. Respect.

[@rogerd3051]

And once again Bruno Mars proves what a master showman he is

[@cavejohnson8665]

How much confidence does it take to get up on stage at the Grammys and try to cover Prince. Gotta give Bruno credit for even having the stones to do it. In the end, he did it justice. He's a great entertainer himself. Maruice Day and the Time, man it was great to see them again. They looked great.

[@karenstrycharz1499]

How right you are! Incredible that Bruno had the “sheer guts” to get up on that stage, knowing full well the criticism he would undoubtedly receive to try to “cover the extraordinary Prince, but he did it anyway!” Real courage! Bruno knew full well there is only one “PRINCE!”Thank-you to Bruno for not caring what anyone thinks or says or “texts”🤣 & deciding to do this tribute ...,,,” ANYWAY!” The reality is... sadly, PRINCE IS GONE FOREVER 😢, NEVER TO RETURN! Thank-you to the amazing Bruno for bringing the “music of “PRINCE”back”, even if it is so very briefly!” Loved this tribute!!!! Congratulations to everyone participating in this tribute!❤️
