Bruno Mars wanted to capture the emotion of school dances on his latest album. The 'That's What I Like' hitmaker's '24k Magic' LP was inspired by his childhood heroes, such as Mariah Carey, New Edition, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. He said: This is what we were dancing to at school functions, at a barbecue. So, that feeling, that emotion I wanted to capture, that's what I was chasing. The 32-year-old singer thinks it is a luxury to bring people together at his concerts but admitted it is quite an unnerving experience in a time of so much conflict and division in the world.

It's a great night. And then, you go to the hotel room and watch the news, and that's not what's happening. It's very - it's tricky because I don't know what I'm doing. I'm creating my world. I'm creating my America. Meanwhile, Bruno recently admitted he is very selective about who he collaborates with. He said: I just don't want to feel gross. It's as simple as that.

I'm here to do music.

MARS: (Laughs) I wanted some of the songs to have a little diabolical feel to them. A little dangerous, very sexy, the way you feel when you watch performers get up on stage and grind their guitar or grab their crotch the way Michael Jackson would do. I didn’t want to hold back.Q: The world seems to be going your way these days..? MARS: It’s kind of scary to be in this position and know that the music is finding a big audience and that I didn’t try to pander to any particular trend. That’s the best kind of result you can hope for. A lot of people might think that my success kind of came overnight, but it took me a long time before anyone would even let me in their office to listen to some tracks. My head was exploding with ideas. I couldn’t wait to show the world what I was capable of. MARS: Oh, I was so nervous about that.

Before Grammy nominations were announced it was widely believed that Kendrick Lamar would win Album of the Year for "Damn," challenging the recording academy’s longstanding bias against hip-hop artists in top categories. But when the nominees were unveiled the landscape changed. Nevertheless, Lamar is still the frontrunner according to the predictions of our users with leading odds of 6/5, though Mars isn’t far behind in second place with 9/4 odds. What do you think? Read some of our posters’ comments below, and join the discussion in our forums. Xtina: "It’s a battle between Kendrick Lamar and Bruno Mars. Lamar is overdue for a win in the big one. Bruno Mars appeals more to older, white, conservative voter dudes. My heart is saying Kendrick, but reality is saying Mars. Sebaz De La Fontaine: "Bruno is winning this. Deservedly so. His album brought joy and happiness to millions of people across America and also the world. Keep in mind that the recording academy wants GOOD TV. Alexandra: "Rap albums simply don’t win AOTY.

Fans who loved Bruno Mars' show-stopping halftime performance at Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014 could be in for a treat: The "Uptown Funk" singer will possibly "do it all over again" for Super Bowl 50 next year. What's more, it looks as though Mars is going to go bigger and better. He's not been asked to perform, but the R&B/pop star may also be "curating" the show, reports Billboard. That could mean Mars will bring superstar guests on stage with him. In 2014, the Red Hot Chili Peppers joined Mars for the show. It's not surprising Super Bowl producers want Mars back. The Grammy Award-winning singer broke records and had the second highest viewership of halftime performances ever with 115 million viewers -- only Katy Perry beat Mars' record with 121 million viewers last year. There may be another reason why NFL execs want Mars to return to the halftime stage: They are also fans. Director of media events for the NFL Sarah Moll told Billboard in December that she and halftime executive producer Ricky Kirshner are big fans of the pop star.
