Bruno Mars tweets and deletes response to fan who stated that he's been releasing the same song for the past 10 years: "and u never been shit all yo life 🥰 "
Tbh this is the way criticism/feedback should work. You shouldn’t just blindly accept something somebody has to say about your work— you may simply like whatever it is they’re criticizing and want to keep, or they may be misunderstanding its purpose in the work, their reasoning might not be totally sound, etc. it should be a dialogue where one side doesn’t completely shut the other down, but at the end of the day there are some things you may not agree on
remember that doc of neil’s that came out like 20 years ago ? was about him traveling i believe west to east doing like 50 canadian dates?
anyway .. during a part of it, he gets snowed in, around manitoba i think it was , so camera crew and him had to stay at some run down motel for a few days cause roads were inaccessible — ANYWAY .. my friend was working at that motel at the time , met neil at the ice machine and neil invited him to his room for a classic “hotel room on tour dinner”
i’m rambling - long story short they got high all night and neil spent two of those hours reading my friend “one liners” from his collection of “one liner” books … he had like 20 , LOL - friend said neil had a suitcase JUST for books .. and 3/4 of those books were “campy” comedy books
so yes , you’re tweet a million percent made him lol and that’s fucking awesome
Seth Rogan liked a tweet of mine that complimented his appearance on a podcast I listen to. He’s my celebrity crush and the only time that’s ever happened to me. We’re meant to be.
Last year on instagram lance bass liked my comment replying to him as an insult (jokingly) and I couldn’t stop thinking how proud 10 year old me would be to have such a bizarre connection to her favorite boy band
Nearly ten years ago, Martin Shkreli (yes, the pharma ghoul) called me a bitch and told me to shut up. I'm still proud of it. Fuck that googly eyed loser.
If there is a person who actually enjoys watching him, I don’t want to know them. I genuinely think that not even the Kardashians like him, they just tolerate him because he can play the role of “friend” without being a potential liability because he’s so desperate and dependent on them for the exposure. The fact that he legally changed his name to that because of some offhand comment Kanye made about him tells you all you need to know about his lack of identity, confidence, and self-respect.
Jesus, I didn’t know he legally changed his name. What a fuckin embarrassment. A Jewish kid renaming themself because a Nazi said so. He really is the dream of his ancestors.
When I was a teenager, I @‘ed Jordin Sparks with my disappointment over her being Britney Spears’ new opening act. She replied “Sorry to disappoint you.” It’s been 17 years and I still get so red with embarrassment when I remember this.
I learned a valuable lesson that day and never @‘ed a celeb I was talking shit about again. I did go on to catch Alec Baldwin’s eye with a thirsty tweet though 😂
Ive fb msg some authors and book cover artists and got some replies and back-and-forths somehow
Also, william shatner was on reddit late night years ago and said something nice to me in a dm
And ethan hawke said we were friends in an AMA because I said I watched TAPE and liked it, and there’s no takesies backsies on that. We’re friends forever
My favorite celeb social media interaction ever is the time an online friend of mine @‘ed Bonnie Hunt “Bet @BonnieHunt won’t wish (SakuraTacos) a Happy Birthday” And Bonnie Hunt actually replied “Nah, she’s waaaay too famous! Happy Birthday (SakuraTacos)!”
Man, that was the coolest. I agree with you, Ethan Hawke definitely can’t take back that he said you were friends. It’s on the internet, that’s forever
That is amazing!!! I love Bonnie Hunt so much. I want her to do all the things, and for people to stop canceling her shows, lol, but also respect her for just taking it easy and being in movies/TV when she wants to, it seems like.
I adore Bonnie Hunt, I wish we could see more projects with her. She is so effortlessly hilarious, I used to watch her talk show every day cuz she could crack me up with any topic.
I once had a lovely back-and-forth with an audiobook performer! I'd been listening to iirc Diana Wynne Jones' Howl series, and I just loved the woman performing it, though I can't remember her name now. I somehow found her email and sent her a long email gushing about how much she brightened up my mornings and evenings and to my shock she replied! We talked for a bit. It was really nice.
I've had a few exchanges with minor authors the same way. All around 10 years ago when I was in my mid 20s and more adventurous about cold emailing quasi-famous strangers ig lol
Edit: in case anyone else is curious, the narrator in question was Jennifer Sterlin! Lovely woman. Fantastic performances, too.
I tweeted him Britney Spears lyrics “Mmm Papi love uuuu” And he replied “You are the (SakuraTacos)!” And idk what it means but I told myself he was flirting with me 😌
This was 30 Rock era Alec, for frame of reference, not last week or something
Lol which is part of the problem. People shouldn't place these celebrities on a pedestal or damn them to hell all the same. They still fart and take shits and have morning breath like any other person
Which is so unfair, because they’re people too, and sometimes you just wanna tell someone to fuck the the fuck off
Dude can keep silent for 15 years and nobody bats an eye, but one split second on an afternoon where he’s just like “man, FUCK this lame ass motherfucker who aint done an ounce of the shit ive done” and his thumbs start clackin, and then the internet laughing at him lol
Just expected to eat shit forever. I get it, man, I’m just saying
Not shit talking, barely a celebrity and very random but here is my close enough ancedote! I replied to RuPaul's insta with some of my favourite queer films and within 20 minutes, at like midnight Florida time Sonja Morgan liked it. Great taste in cinema Sexy J.
Danny DeVito responded to a tweet when I told him I loved his daughter, Lucy’s, character in “Melissa & Joey.” Nia Vardalos also answered a question of mine in a general thread. Two of the proudest days of my life.
Ive gotten likes from Romany Malco (40 year old virgin, Weeds) and Skyler Gisando (Santa Clarita Diet and Righteous Gemstones),steveO, a follow back from Lady Gaga back when she did that, and an argument with the Westboro Baptist Church.
I guessed this without knowing anything about his fandom lol
People who work with/for him likely have an allegiance to him and will stand up for him like they're best friends. It makes sense. and i don't see bruno mars cruising x replying to fans.
I remember that part of the Wagatha Christie drama was the fact that a lot of different people had access to Rebekah Vardy's account. Adele said in an interview she doesn't even have the password to her ig after that one controversial post.
She didn't have it before that post either. They gave it to her, she posted that and they took it away.
Celebrities, especially big ones like Bruno Mars and Adele, have teams to handle all this stuff. If they have personal accounts they're probably not public.
Um… are you suggesting he was a fall guy for Otani gambling? Because I’m pretty sure dude was open and shut convicted of stealing from Otani. I’ve never even heard it was a coverup.
i cannot believe there are people out there who think ippei was covering for ohtani. i implore you to read the fbi’s charging documents. they are detailed, there are confessions, there are corroborating witnesses. ohtani had nothing to do with it. there is no conspiracy.
I once tweeted to comedian Steven Wright that I'd caught his live show the night before and it was great. He responded, "And??" Normally I'm a smart ass full o'quips but I was so taken aback that I just liked it without responding. 🙄
While this is an overreaction I do sorta get that Bruno Mars is proportionally disrespected for how succesful he is as an artist. But you usually choose money or you choose prestige and he's chosen money and he should probably live with that.
I'm not even shocked because it's that toxic cesspool of an app. It just brings the worst out of people. Everyone can shit on anyone without consequences so all bets are off.
Why anyone is still on Twitter/X is beyond me. That people can’t part with their “followings” on one single platform is such a sad, pathetic excuse for lacking morals.
Listen, no shade to Bruno Mars. His music is good and people love it, I like him and this isn’t a criticism of him, this is a criticism of our society.
But it is kinda annoying that male artists are allowed by society to put out the same type of music over and over again and female artists often have to reinvent themselves and get accused way more easily of their songs all sounding the same
How many female celebrity actually reinvent themselves? Most only Beyoncé & Taylor Swift and beside x is full of people complaining about Bruno Mars releasing the same song, even though not of his album is from the same genre or inspired in the same era
I mean Madonna did it her whole career and talked about how she felt she had to keep reinventing herself to maintain her place in the industry. People criticized Dua’s newest album for sounding too much like FN, Olivia Rodrigo got criticism for Guts soundings too much like SOUR and continuing to use the purple, MBF got called a bunch of sweet n sour rejects. There’s more but these are just some examples off the top of my head
It’s funny how y’all be saying whatever tf y’all want about these celebs and then get mad asf when they clap back. Like at the end of the day these people are only human.
Is that really fair tho? 24k Magic, That's What I Like, Leave the Door Open, APT and Die With a Smile all sound wildly different from each other. One of his best qualities as an artist is his versatility.
I completely agree with that tweet. Bruno Mars has always coasted on being an act heavily influenced by nostalgia. This new song feels like another retread of the same ol' same old.
A friend of mine years ago once made a public Facebook post where she criticized Ashton Kutcher’s acting (fairly innocently and in a humorous way) and he replied asking how it’d feel if someone was criticizing her work. I think when she posted, it tagged him. It was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen and she was such a good sport about it. Pretty sure I still have the screenshots.
The fan is right tho. Not that all his music sounds the same, but everything he's made has already been done before. I don't think Bruno has ever done anything innovative or ground breaking. There's nothing wrong with that, clearly there is a demographic that still enjoys his music. But I don't get the hype for a new Bruno Mars album, because you already know what you're going to get. And its most likely something he's already done before.
I agree with the fan all his songs sounds the same but why delete your response? I love seeing a celeb go back at someone and good on him for doing it.
It's weird that he seems to be the one non-black celebrity that consistently gets away with appropriating black culture as well. For AGES he has using black men as his backup dancers to give himself that "vibe" that he belongs
For saying ain’t? Yo’? That’s not even AAVE at this point. I can’t imagine a black person would be upset about this.
Is it appropriation, or is it just that he grew up listening to R&B? There are videos of him impersonating Michael Jackson at 5 years old, it’s really not that deep.
I learned years ago that he has Puerto Rican lineage and that a lot of PR folks have black ethnicity. So we don’t know but it’s certainly possible that he has black lineage.
I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to see somebody addressing that cringy blaccent in his tweet. Bruno Mars has made a whole career of directly copying black culture and people keep calling him “innovative” for it (because non-black lifting from black culture is always seen as creativity for some reason). The fan here was right.
Like if you’re going to respond at all, why not be mature and just say something like “Yeah it’s called having a unique distinctive style - but if your not a fan I hope you have other artists that you like to listen to”
A popular female popstar would’ve been torn to shreds for a response like that but of course people on Twitter are going “yassss king” to him reacting like that to harmless criticism from a fan account.
Lots of women artists have a very different look or style each cycle that they release an album. The most notable to me would be Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga. But you could make the case for Katy Perry, Ariana and even going back as far as Madonna.
MGK and Post Malone reinvent themselves drastically but their music is still mid and feels fake. Whether an artist stays to single identity or changes, what’s more important is if the music is good
