You are saying that no one else can be in Bruno's lane.

The "lane" I am talking about is just mega pop stardom (which I thought you were talking about). I wouldn't expect them to do it by ape'ing Bruno Mars.

I think every Mega Pop Star carves their own lane, but I believe there are multiple lanes to Mega Pop Stardom.

Prince didn't do it trying to be like Mike.

The Next Black Male Pop Star will do it not trying to be like Bruno.

My question remains where are the cats on the come up that want it and have the talent for it.
