Did y’all already talk about this?

If not, I’ma just leave this here:

Billboard: What did you think of Bruno that night at the Grammys?

Me’Shell: What he’s doing is karaoke, basically. With “Finesse,” in particular, I think he was simply copying Bell Biv DeVoe. I think he was copying Babyface. And definitely there were some elements of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis back when they worked with Human League. I feel like there’s just all these threads running through there but not in a genuine way.
