What Makes This Singer Great? Bruno Mars

[@jakonjhn]

Bruno's 5'4 but his attitude is 6'8. His charisma and confidence is contagious, and I really think that's one of the factors that contributed to his enormous success!

[@kentamplin]

Absolutely!

[@ariaarulasan]

BRUNO MARS IS THE GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME.

[@freshbeanne]

He's so great....such charisma, musicianship, great dancer....the whole package. Even an excellent high stakes poker player! Stable family life....I'm a fan! Bet he would be a good actor lol

[@kentamplin]

Bet you're right! Thanks for listening, jay kay!

[@Wootah1964]

Mark even admitted Bruno wrote 75% of Uptown Funk in a Interview he did. The story behind the making of that song is pretty Iconic!

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for the info, kat!

[@kwesidjan6063]

Bruno is just a phenomenal gift! I love him to bits!!!

[@kentamplin]

Yes, he's a total entertainer! Love him!

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

One of the absolute best of the newer breed of high Tenor vocalists. You can clearly hear the Old School singer's influences.

[@kentamplin]

He's one talented performer, for sure!

[@RandyHToyotaBham]

What strikes me about Bruno is his infectious and genuine love for music, having fun, and making his fans happy. What u see is what u get.

[@kentamplin]

He does always seem to be a happy, good natured guy, doesn't he?

[@iamomonya]

Bruno mars' range is insane

[@kentamplin]

Yes, he makes it sound so effortless!

[@carlosalbertovz]

One of the few singers today that I really respect. I am a big Michael Jackson fan. Good to see MJ's legacy in good hands with Bruno.

[@kentamplin]

Carlos Alberto Velázquez Zúñiga 👍

[@AndySaenz]

When I Was Your Man is such an emotional song, it’s my favorite song of his. Bruno Mars sings it with so much feeling, technical accuracy, and he stays on top of the rhythm too.

[@kentamplin]

The Official Andy Saenz 👍

[@Housey29]

Ken, Bruno has a few influences but still retains his own originality, solid performer live and amazing range great talent!!

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for the thoughts, Vocality!

[@mcrchickenluvr]

I've seen him live a few times. He has so much passion in his voice and he knows how to make the song his own.

[@totoybibo5534]

Hes the best inspirational male popstar in this generation!!.

[@1960taylor]

In every sense Bruno is a throwback talent ...he would have worked anywhere from the 50's to now....

[@kentamplin]

Absolutely, John!

[@wickedwillows8494]

Ken he's doing what you teach your students. I hear Stevie, Michael, Elvis and it's all Bruno!

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for the visit, Wicked Willows!

[@marsmusiclovers60]

Hey I've seen Bruno Mars 5 times he's an Amazing artist and song writer. And he puts on One Hell Of A Show.

[@kentamplin]

No doubt!! What an entertainer!

[@lanamartin9107]

I hear Stevie, but I hear Prince too. Maybe the presentation on first song, and multitalented with instruments brings Prince in for me. Bruno is one of those master singer/songwriters that will be legendary imo.

[@kentamplin]

Absolutely, Lana!

[@priyangshudasofficial]

What's best about bruno is he really enjoys his work and feels every word of hi songs

[@kentamplin]

He's great!

[@marcotronic]

He is indeed one of the most impressive vocalists alive with an incredible range and a tune which is spot on. Totally love him - especially with this song! Great choice! :) And yeah, I can totally hear a lot of Stevie in him ;)

[@kentamplin]

Well said! Thanks for listening!

[@helenaveiga46]

One of my biggest inspiration behind James Brown Whitney and MJ

[@vincntalxndr]

[@kentamplin]

[@summermcpherson8209]

Saw Bruno in concert at the Schottenstein Center in September 2017...and he was phenomenal!

[@kentamplin]

I'll bet! Thanks, Summer!

[@sky-ih9cu]

Love Bruno, he just makes singing seem so effortless. So talented he has the funk, soul and pop sound going on, Definitely don't see many like him anymore.

[@utrips4free]

His Prince tribute/rendition was soooooo good!!! His guitar lead was great!!!!!

[@kentamplin]

Quite the performer, isn't he?

[@finnmaccool3385]

Cool video thanks Ken... I was lucky enough to have great seats at a Bruno Mars concert recently and you are right, he is an outstanding live performer. His sets were relatively simple and didn't distract from the power, range and emotion of his vocals. One of the things I would say that does add a huge level of entertainment is his band, The Hooligans. Those guys are seriously tight. With talent to burn. Cheers, Mike.

[@kentamplin]

How great! Bruno's band is fantastic!! Thanks for mentioning them.

[@A10-j4u2v]

Love bruno mars, every live performance I've seen of him on youtube is just so damn spot on. Really incredible singer!

[@kentamplin]

I agree with you. I've never seen him do anything but great work!

[@ErsenAsper]

Firstly, I listened to his song "Just The Way You Are". His voice was very impressive.

[@kentamplin]

Absolutely, Ersen Asper!

[@nidiasmith7367]

Love that song

[@kentamplin]

Yes, it's really quite nice! Thanks for the visit, Nidia!

[@karlbernardo7781]

The thing about Bruno that his voice has grown robust as years past. In his first albums, he really sounds like MJ, but when he released the 24k Magic album, you can notice the depth in his voice.

[@odzerBhutia]

Bruno is a living legend. I love Bruno Mars, my idol.... I think you should react more on his live videos as you're a really well coach... As i can see that,... Cause there are some other coaches reacted to Bruno mars live song and they think it's not good enough, which was really stupid... Anyways thank you for this video... Much love

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for watching, Odzer zangpo!

[@eriks.lundestad9365]

Amazing range

[@kentamplin]

Erik S. Lundestad 👍

[@nickn1316]

Loved the way you highlighted the influences of other great singers throughout his performance - and when you said he did impersonations of Elvis when he was younger- thats interesting cos Bruno often finishes his live shows with "I'll remember you" a song written by K Lee (Hawiian) which Elvis always sang when in Hawaii- Bruno is Top Dollar 🤗🤗🤗😎

[@kentamplin]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Nick!

[@Robert-gm8ig]

Great video. And "Look at how young those girls are" comment made me laugh for some reason lol

[@nicolaiholm2322]

What makes bruno this incridible vocalist, is not just he’s higher tenor range...manny can sing in that range too...what makes him so special is that he ADD these tone clolors to he’s voice. That’s where the hard Work is people, it gives this laid back warm tone, even when he sings relly high. It’s all about tone color! That’s why it’s hard to imitate he’s voice it’s this warm laid back tone. That’s why bruno is in my opinion (the Best living male vocalist) not manny do that! It’s a great thing to do but it’s not esay! Everyone Can learn that over time.....but it’s takes years....Manny Years🤷‍♂️ it’s hard! He’s not Michael Jackson he’s the first Bruno Mars! Amazing Vocalist just like Michael! I agree but bruno is not Michael!!!👌👍

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for your comment!

[@benjimartinnc]

Great songwriting, crazy vocal range, and awesome performances -- those things come to mind when I think of Bruno Mars. He also co-wrote Forget You for Cee-Lo Green if I'm not mistaken.
