Lately, The Weeknd has been on my playlist. I can’t stop listening to I Can’t Feel My Face. Who else feels me? Faced with a choice between the Weeknd and Bruno Mars… I’m going with the former, right now. Speaking of the ‘former,’ doesn’t the Starboy remind you of the artist formerly known as Prince?

The Weeknd lives life in the Hills. He lives life for the moment… the celebrity vibrantly celebrates life like DJ Khaled. Speaking of the DJ, I can’t wait for the Starboy to make a song with Khaled. I can hear it now… ~ Who are you to judge~

I often say that music is the common denominator. Me and you share the same tastes of music. That’s why you’re reading this blog right now. We can put aside our differences for a moment and discuss entertainment.

Entertainers come in all shapes and sizes, and the Weeknd is an entertainer of massive proportions. He travels around the globe and everybody knows his name. I recall taking a class with a girl who went to his concert the previous day. Although she wasn’t an entertainer, she came in a lovely shape and size if I do say so myself.

Can you believe the Weeknd made $92 million last year? He was working hard like Rihanna. Can you imagine the musician making music with Rihanna? The Weeknd ranks #6 on Forbes Celebrity 100.

He has 2 Grammys to his name, although I expect him to win more in the future. Taylor Swift is another one I would like to see the Weeknd collaborate with in the studio booth. The singers would make an awesome duet together.

Although Bruno Mars came back last year, the Weeknd is still strong. I’m going to a Weeknd concert very soon. You only live once, so live for the moment.

Top 5 Pop Songs of 2016

2016 was an awesome year in music history. Everyone from casual listeners to music buffs were clearly entertained. Beyonce and Justin Timberlake both have demonstrated why they are still on top of the pop charts. On this special day, I will countdown my top 5 favorite pop songs this year. Enjoy!

5. 24 K Magic By: Bruno Mars

When I first heard this song, I didn’t like it that much. However, something magical happened the second time. I saw Bruno Mars perform 24 K Magic live on Saturday Night Live and my mind changed instantly. This song easily makes my top list now, because Bruno’s techniques are legendary. Nothing beats the singer’s vocals at their best.

24 K Magic gets the party started better than the Black Eyed Peas Let’s Get It Started. I like it more than Uptown Funk. You see Bruno Mars is a dangerous man with some money in his pocket and you gotta keep up or you’ll get lost. Moreover, the lyrics are exciting.

4. Starboy By: The Weeknd

I can’t say anything bad about the Weeknd. Starboy shows why The Weeknd is a star. Did you catch his Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show performance? He stole the spotlight from supermodels. The Weeknd doesn’t hold anything back. He’s a dangerous man with some money in his pocket too. Check out Bruno Mars Vs. The Weeknd for an interesting comparison.

3. This Is What You Came For By: Calvin Harris Featuring Rihanna

I listen to This Is What You Came For every other day because Calvin Harris generates electric music. You need this celebrity like you need electricity. Boldly, I dare say that Calvin Harris is a modern day Elton John. Plus, his collaborations are always genius. Calvin finds the right vocals and mixes it with the right instruments. His calculations are never off a fraction.

2. Work By: Rihanna Featuring Drake

Does everybody love listening to Work By: Rihanna or what? The repetition, the beat, and the rhythm are 3 things that make this song worth it’s weight in gold. It is a priceless masterpiece of a song. Rihanna is obviously one of my favorite pop singers. And this is my favorite song by her. Rihanna is someone else I can’t speak a bad word about. Work is amazing!

1. Perfect Illusion By: Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga earns the number one spot on my countdown. Perfect Illusion came out at the perfect time. Gaga has shown throughout the years she isn’t a one hit wonder. What is more, Perfect Illusion broke the Internet. Apparently, YouTube crashed as a result of this video’s release. I choose Perfect Illusion By: Lady Gaga because the song has a certain intrinsic value. Only Lady Gaga could do it.

Honorable Mentions: Formation By: Beyonce and Can’t Stop the Feeling By: Justin Timberlake

This concludes my top 5 pop songs of 2016. What are yours?

Bruno Mars Vs. The Weeknd

CBS aired the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last night at 10 PM. All eyes were watching the models strut the stage. And all ears were listening to the lullabies of Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and The Weeknd.

Overall, I enjoyed seeing the sights from Paris on my HD TV screen. I can only imagine how nice it would be to see the show in 3D or going to the show live in person. Many celebrities were in attendance. It was great entertainment. Bruno Mars and The Weeknd showed up big time.

The question I want to know is Bruno Mars still better than The Weeknd. I believe The Weeknd may have usurp Bruno Mars in popularity. For the record, I consider Bruno to be the best singer in the entertainment business. Who can deny his vocal ability?

Bruno is even a better entertainer than the Weeknd. However, the Weeknd wins right now because of his undeniable style. Plus, his lyrics from his latest album are better than Bruno’s 24 K magic. Side to side, I would rather listen to the Weeknd’s Starboy album simply for the well-written verses. Still, they have both created hot beats with their new sounds.

The Weeknd currently holds 2 Guinness World Records. He has the most streamed album on Spotify in 1 year. Plus, he holds the record for most consecutive weeks in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 by a Solo Male Artist.

Do you doubt that the famous Canadian and Hawaiian will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame one day? Who will get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame first? The Bruno Mars/ The Weeknd rivalry is real. They probably dream about each other.

Can you picture Bruno Mars leading a marching band? What if the Weeknd played the electric guitar? All I’m saying is that anything is possible.
