2838330, Bruno Mars "Grenade" is no better than anything Janelle has done

I personally don't think it's a good song. I think it takes a sound which Jamie Woon did better and adds the novelty of this hawaiian kid who sounds a like MJ. But the songwriting specifically the lyrics like the rest of Bruno's work are meh. His image takes him beyond that, and it's been sold well. Janelle crafts lyrics and inspires production even when she's hanging onto her own influences which are much better, but its built into an image that isn't mainstream acceptable anymore.
