Is bruno mars trying to be the next michael jackson?

A lot of comparisons seemed to come up b/t Bruno and Michael Jackson when he came out, and I wasn't too peeved about it. Now it just seems like he's blatantly trying to throw that at us. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Bruno Mars, but of course there is no such thing as "the next" Michael Jackson. There will only ever be one. I guess Bruno's just really inspired by him.

Dude, Bruno is doing his own thing. Bruno is bomb. And even if he was i wouldnt be bothered by it cause Bruno would be the only one who is fit for the job. But he doesnt need to act like MJ or anything cause Bruno is one and only. He is unique and talented af.

Uh no. He has his own style and is already a billionaire at a very young age. His music is a mixture of many genre's whereas Michael's was mainly pop.

I wouldn't mind if he was. I quite like him. :D

The moves and the extra little noises used in his music and his lips. especially in uptown funk it really wont stop reminding me of Michael Jackson.
Nothing against Bruno. I like him alot.
Just like how I love MJ as well.
I do feel the resemblance is strong.
