==================================== { 835th Place } [10's][ 143rd Place] Song: "Just The Way You Are" Band: Bruno Mars Album: Doo Wops & Hooligans ---{ 2010 }--- Genre: Pop Score:[7.3][5.2][7.3][8.3][5.3][2.1][10.2] = [45.7] = [6.528] Video:
Write-Up: This song shares a title with another song that I consider a classic by Billy Joel which will appear later in the ranking. If comparing the two were a thing here, this song would tank in comparison simply on my preference for Billy Joel. I mean, clearly it doesn't compare anyway since I'm actually dropping this song far sooner but I mentioned it because I want to be honest about my bias whenever I can. I'm not too much of a Bruno Mars fan but the guy seemed to pop up almost everywhere this decade. He's been a featured artist in over 30 different acts at this point even going uncredited in some cases. What is interesting about this fact is that he did a lot of that before getting signed for a solid record deal. Motown had actually had the opportunity to nuture his career before all of that but failed to do it properly and because of some unknown dispute with will.i.am that contract ended. I'm sure they are kicking themselves now though as he has been quite a successful artist since he was picked up by Atlantic Records. Even after all of that though, I feel like he still has a lot of fame and fortune ahead of him given that he is arguably one of the best vocalists to come out of this decade. ====================================
