🔥Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak as Silk Sonic - Fly As Me (Live BET Soul Train Awards 2021) | REACTION

[@dontbemad6460]

Everyone in the band is from Bruno’s Band (The hooligans), they’ve been performing with Bruno Mars since his debut. Background singers are Kameron Whalum (his trombone player) and Jimmy King (his trumpet player).

[@cassandra3893]

Let’s not forget his brother on the drums yes he looked out for his people when this group came together this was genius on both Bruno and anderson‘s part

[@procky3076]

The trumpet player at this performance is Maurice Brown from Anderson's band The Free Nationals.

[@HerbJr316]

Good look on pointing that out Hannah. They’re vital to the group overall as well. In addition, the trumpet player on this performance is from Anderson’s Band, the Free Nationals, and the Pianist on the Little Richard Tribute is also from the Free Nationals. People from Bruno’s and Anderson’s bands have contributed to their live performances.

[@tamarawhiteurst8727]

@@procky3076 I was just about to say Maurice Brown is from Anderson’s traveling band. He is not an official member of the Free Nationals but does play horns for Andy, he brings a party no matter where he is.

His bro Eric Hernández

[@audreygoode9321]

I'm a 67 year old grandma who has got her groove back thanks to Silk Sonic 😄🥰😄

[@MsHaqqer]

Finally! This performance was 🔥 🔥 🔥! No way was Ari Lennox better than Silk Sonic at the BETs! Silk sonic are at the top of the game right now.

[@waynelocksley6377]

That is why they work well together because they don't have an ego. They are chill and don't really care about who has what verse or how much.

[@alisharogers7053]

What I like about Bruno is that he let Anderson shine in this album he could’ve just had it the other way around I think their collaborate was about Mutual respect for each other

[@dianenelson3499]

"Let Anderson shine"!?!?!? WTF .Paak has been brilliant for a long time before Bruno. Mars knows .Paak is a star because Mars is a musician. .Paak has been more underground while Bruno went commercial. Together they the real deal!

[@deannamorring7877]

@@dianenelson3499 right!!!! I was like "LET HIM?!" Anderson is the mf'n truth!

[@gabrielslater0505]

@@dianenelson3499 I’ll agree that paak is fantastic but at the same time he had far more influence on the album than Bruno did, like it screams paak. I’ll once again agree that paak is incredible and is an incredible artist, and on this song specifically he shines. On the first verse especially with “sprinkle some truffle on your mashed potatoes”. It’s fantastic from paak. But at the same time Bruno could’ve commercialised the album on his own if he wanted to. Also, Bruno’s voice on the final chorus is fantastic and it really should be admired. He had the chance to show off and he let paak properly shine. This will introduce a brand new audience to Anderson paak now, which is the most important thing

[@maryewilson2009]

@@dianenelson3499 Yes let him shine. There are a lot of people who did not know who he was until Silk Sonic.

[@SkammLykelee]

@Alisha Rogers Your comment is an insult to Anderson Paak. It implies he couldn't "shine" unless Bruno allowed it. Mutual respect and admiration is the reason it's such a great COLLABORATION. "The other way around" would not be a collaboration at all.

[@dabrat7306]

The two guys that are singing backup are from Bruno's band the Hooligans, One plays a saxophone and the other plays a trombone. they can sing and dance while playing their instruments. Check out their last BET performance of Perm and you will see that,

[@JanetAMills]

The Silk Sonic band jammin' in the background, the stage presence of B & A, the vocals were AWESOME! Quality act for Track #3 on the Masterpiece album!!

[@tinapedersen2147]

They did change “Bitch” to “Trick” in Smoking out the window😁 This performance of Fly as me was all that and more😍🔥🔥🔥

[@RHrrrrrrhhhhhh]

They certainly do their homework. Each performance is FLY...brilliant. Kam on the left of Bruno is his trombone player from the Hooligans and Jimmy his trumpet player. You'll see them in all the videos with Bruno from a decade back. Bruno is certainly happy for Anderson to shine. Part of why this collaboration works....great reaction. I agree you should check out Saturday Night Live, Mystikal 2014 🐨👏🏻🔥

[@vanessaseymour2634]

Great reaction. Next to 'Put On A Smile', 'Fly As Me' is my other favorite song.

[@verlitahamilton9055]

The other to singers in the back are part of Bruno Mars group the hooligans. They play the trumpet and trombone. They have been with Bruno since the beginning …

[@Canela927]

The background dancers are from Bruno's band "The Hooligans" they are Kameron Whalum his trombone player, and Jimmy King his trumpet player. All the other players are from Bruno's band as well. Except the trumpet player, he's Maurice Brown from Anderson Paak's band. On the actual album Bruno is playing the guitar on this song as well as background vocals and ad libs. This album showcases both the best of their talents. 😎

[@SkammLykelee]

You forgot to mention that Anderson plays the drums on every track on the album except one.

[@Canela927]

@@SkammLykelee that's obvious that he is

[@SkammLykelee]

@@Canela927 Perhaps it was obvious to you, but many observers think Bruno or his brother Peter did most of it. Because they had never heard of Anderson, or seen his work, they have no appreciation of his talent.

[@Canela927]

@@SkammLykelee His brother's name is Eric. But it was said in their interviews and on the album in all the credits. I was speaking on what the guys on the reaction video saying. THEY don't know Bruno was playing the instruments I said. Many don't know Bruno plays multiple instruments,they only think he sings. So believe it or not a lot don't know about Bruno's mulit talents as well as Anderson. Anderson is known for playing the drums but this showcases both their talents so everyone will see.

[@SkammLykelee]

@@Canela927 Yes, my mistake. Peter is Bruno's name. My point is by now, Bruno is in no way underrated. Everyone knows he's amazing. Meanwhile, many still think Anderson is some guy riding Bruno's coattails. I suggest they see his concert videos with the Free Nationals, particularly their GrubHub Soundbites and NPR Tiny Desk videos.

[@darrygswa]

This song remind of Morris Day & the Time something that they would do back in the 80's.

[@charmainebrown7254]

I like how you guys shout out the other guys along with Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak.

[@RickyRegal.]

The two backup singers behind bruno go by Kameron Whalum and Jimmy King, u see them in the music videos, the live performances, and pretty much all the concerts.

[@judithsturgis9822]

No "bitch" on Soul Train! Silk Sonic opened and closed. Drummer is Bruno's brother and get to know D-Mile.

[@arnettabosby5100]

They are Silk Sonic. Too bad you didn’t let us see you react to the album. I was waiting for it.

[@LadybugLuv]

Middle guy: I guess Bruno don't have verses on this shit. First guy: And it's perfectly fine actually. Me: Thank you! Best part of the reaction!

[@feliciasanders2066]

Give it a rest already. This is a group so stop trying to pit them against each other.

[@LadybugLuv]

@@feliciasanders2066 It's funny how you are reading into my 3 line comment something that has absolutely nothing to do with your comment! That's not my style, that's my intention.

[@ShanaTfaye]

I think it was the billboard awards or the ama’s… they were put on last minute, I think it was just for aesthetics ☺️

[@LadybugLuv]

The AMA's were last minute. The BET Awards were scheduled. Hope that helps! 😊

[@tonydigital6017]

People fail yo realize that Anderson is the mastermind of Silk Sonic

[@marlonlouis1651]

I mean given the fact that Bruno produced every song and mixed every song. I mean it’s pretty even between the 2

[@faith2xxx]

They were BOTH masterminds, but Bruno did reach out to him for the possibility of working on a project together while on tour together, when Anderson was his opening act.

[@feliciasanders2066]

😂🤣😂 The lies you tell 🤦🏽‍♀️. Why yall are so bent on negating Bruno's genius is laughable. He not only produced, wrote, arranged, mixed, called in D'Mile to co-produce, Babyface, Bootsy and Thundercat. Bruno had to stay on Anderson to get this project finished, which started on Bruno's tour in 2017. Let's not lie to uplift one and discredit the other. Also, Anderson has stated that he was told to partner with Bruno to get to the next level of exposure. Now, he's so desperate for more, he's been tweeting up BTS and Taylor. 🤡🙄

[@catherined8879]

haha leave the door open, put on a smile and smokin out the window were all Bruno’s idea. Go listen to the apple music interview. He asked Anderson to come to his studio because he has Smokin out the window idea and all snowballed. no disrespect but Anderson already admitted that it was Bruno Mars idea to collab

[@robinw.7599]

All of ya'll are funny. Anderson brings the soul to this group and the reason I am a fan, but no one person did more than the other. Bruno definitely needed something in addition to his regular pop stuff. THEY ARE A GROUP PEOPLE. They are not tripping, but you guys are! Hahahahaha!

[@zanohoriamazo1]

Facts on BET bleepin cuss words. It be soundin so abnormal. I remember Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever, wit Halle Berry k Sam Jackson fighting over a crack pipe like: ‘Yo gimme da mickie Vickie pipe mickie fickie !’ ‘Dammit I’m tryin to get my mickie fickie hit; wait a mickie fickie minute.’ Little kids all over be like, ‘Mommy whas mickie fickie?’ Background singers are from Bruno’s group, The Hooligans, also drummer is Eric Hernandez, Bruno’s older brother, from Bruno’s band as well.
