One of the most memorable and heartfelt ways to tell someone you're falling in love with them is through a cute love song. Even if you're not into writing your own tune, sharing a Spotify playlist full of songs about soulmates, songs about love at first sight, and songs about saying, "I love you," is a sweet and low-pressure way to get your feelings across. And thankfully, there is a wealth of songs about falling in love out there - across all genres - to show someone just how much you care for them.

The best love song, however, is the tune that resonates the most with you and your partner. So whether you prefer a slow, romantic ballad, a sexy song, or a song that's more upbeat, your love interest is certain to be falling just as hard for you after giving it a listen.

These cute love songs,...

Few artists are embraced by the Grammys as quickly as Silk Sonic, though they are familiar faces to the Recording Academy. This superduo consists of 15-time Grammy winner Bruno Mars and eight-time Grammy winner Anderson .Paak, who are trying to bring back the sound of classic R&b. Mars and Paak both had had major success at the Grammys individually before the duo released their first collab single “Leave The Door Open,” which took home four Grammys this past ceremony including Record of the Year and Song of the Year. So with their whole album, “An Evening with Silk Sonic,” eligible for 2023, including the hit “Smokin Out The Window,” are we looking at another sweep from this dynamic duo?

This season the judges embark on yet another nationwide search for America’s next singing sensation. Auditions were held in Nashville, Tennessee, Austin, Texas and Los Angeles, California. If given a golden ticket, hopeful idols advanced to the Hollywood round. In a new twist this season, three contestants were given a Platinum Ticket, which allowed them to skip the first phase of Hollywood week. Kenedi Anderson withdrew from the competition on April 11, but HunterGirl and Jay still remain.

Hey, "American Idol" fans. Tonight, April 24, 2022, another Live performance/results show for American Idol's current season 20 did indeed air, and we found out who the top 11 singers are at the end. All the judges: Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan were on hand to give their usual critiques and compliments. The singers were mentored by American Idol season 16 country star Gabby Barrett. The theme for tonight's show was “Breakout Hits." To kick off tonight's performances, Jay Copeland hit the stage to sing, "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars. Afterwards, Lionel said, "It's amazing. You are showing up on stage, singing songs you should sing.” Katy said, "I like that you took Gabby’s advice and landed in a cool spot.” Luke said, "It’s important you let America know who you are."...

Silk Sonic just swept all four of their nominations at the 2022 Grammy Awards, which didn’t only bring Bruno Mars‘s career total to 15 trophies from the Recording Academy, it also continued a remarkable undefeated streak for the singer-songwriter: he hasn’t lost a single Grammy since 2014. He’s eligible for more awards in 2023 since Silk Sonic’s full album, “An Evening with Silk Sonic,” wasn’t released until this eligibility period, but another artist with an equally remarkable winning streak is also eligible for awards in 2023 Adele. Since they could potentially compete in the same top categories, they can’t both stay undefeated.

Mars won his first Grammy at the very start of his recording career: Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for “Just the Way You Are” in 2011. Despite consistent nominations over the next couple of years, he didn’t win again until 2014, when he was nominated four times...

Watch the Trailer for Doors: "Without explanation or warning, a number of mysterious, alien “doors” suddenly appear in every corner of the globe. While many of those that encounter these sentient visitors feel the strange urge to interact with them – never to be seen again – others stay behind to face the potential threat of what their ultimate agenda towards mankind is. In a rush to determine the reason for the arrival of these cosmic anomalies, the government enlists volunteers to brave the journey to enter the doors so that we might learn more about their origin or purpose. But even these brave volunteers are not prepared for what lies beyond the threshold. The story of the doors is told through multiple perspectives: a ragtag band of high school students discover a door for the first time, volunteers explore the parallel reality beyond the threshold, and a lonesome hermit manages the...

Allan Burns, a television producer and screenwriter best known for cocreating and cowriting for the television sitcoms The Munsters, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Rhoda, died Saturday at home. He was 85 and no details were immediately available on the cause of death.

Dan Pasternack, a producer and programming executive and longtime friend of the family, said Burns was a mentor to many. “As much of a legend as he was, and as diverse of a career as he enjoyed, the most remarkable thing about Allan Burns was how kind he was to so many people.”

Burns was born May 18, 1935 in Baltimore, Maryland. He attended the University of Oregon from 1953 to 1957 before heading to Los Angeles and breaking into show business.

His first venture included working in animation for Jay Ward on The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, Dudley Do-Right, and George of the Jungle. He also is credited with cowriting...

Bruno Mars recently took the stage during the One Voice: Somos Live! benefit concert, and it didn't take long before he had jaws on the floor. The "That's What I Like" singer shocked everyone when he belted out a gorgeous rendition of his hit "Just the Way You Are," but all in Spanish. Mars performed in front of a projection of the Puerto Rican flag while he played the guitar, and we're having a hard time looking away from the video, because it's that captivating. Dare we say that it might be better than the original? Watch the clip above to judge for yourself!

Bruno Mars has always had swag.

The “Just the Way You Are” singer, 31, posted an early throwback photo to his Instagram account on Wednesday, sharing with his fans what the crooner looked like before fame.

“When you’re too impatient for Throwback Thursday so you fully embrace Way Back Wednesday. #1989,” Mars wrote in the caption.

In the black and white photo, Mars is the perfect impersonation of a young Elvis Presley. holding a small guitar toy while sitting in the back of a car.

And it doesn’t seem that time has changed Mars much; he still has the same flawless head of hair.

So what if William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was never meant to be a musical? On the third and final night of his London episodes, The Late Late Show's James Corden asked Emily Blunt to help him stage the tragedy as a musical. Casting himself as Romeo Montague and Blunt as Juliet Capulet, he gave the story of star-crossed lovers a modern pop music twist. In less than seven minutes, the duo performed 14 songs on seven different sets, all in one take. Blunt and Corden performed a variety of popular numbers, including Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are," Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream," Adele's "Hello," Lionel...

Ever since Bruno Mars crooned the lyrics to "Just the Way You Are" in 2010, we've been in love. While past hits like "Grenade" let us see a softer side of the 31-year-old singer (whose real name is Peter Gene Hernandez) as of late, he's been amping up the sex appeal - and we aren't complaining one bit. With hot tracks like "That's What I Like" and "Gorilla" and all of his steamy performances over the past year, our burning flame for Bruno has become even hotter. See some of his sexiest appearances over the years.

Bruno Mars is bringing his 24K Magic to the GRAMMYs.

The Recording Academy announced on Wednesday that Mars will hit the stage at the 2017 ceremony, marking his first performance at the event since 2013.

Mars joins an already-impressive lineup of performers, including Adele, John Legend, Metallica, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban, with more expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Though Mars' latest album missed the cutoff to be considered for this year's awards, he is nominated as a producer on Adele's powerhouse 25 album. The 31-year-old superstar previously took home trophies for "Just The Way You Are" in 2011, Unorthodox Jukebox in 2014, and he won double for "Uptown Funk" with Mark Ronson in 2016.

For more on what...

You can’t talk about the best of Bruno Mars without giving love to his ballads and laid-back numbers, too. From cuts like “Grenade” and “Just The Way You Are,” to more emotional ones like “When I Was Your Man” and “Moonshine,” Mars has shown that he’s the master of any type of mood, but it’s his songs off his new album, 24k Magic, that seem to take it to the next level.

After coming in strong with the lead single and title track to his upcoming record, Mars gets a bit more sensual on the new song, “Versace on the Floor.” Giving “When I Was Your Man” a run for its money, “Versace” is one of the most versatile slow jams in his catalog, and it manages to pay homage to the 80’s and early 90’s while still keeping things current and radio ready.

Mars spoke about...

After two show-stopping performances, Bruno Mars is taking a break from the Super Bowl Halftime Show—not that he has any regrets. "God bless the Super Bowl," he says in Rolling Stone's Nov. 17 issue, on newsstands Friday. "They hooked me up, they took a chance on me." Mars headlined Super Bowl Xlviii in 2014, performing "Billionaire," "Locked Out of Heaven," "Treasure," "Runaway Baby" and "Just the Way You Are," as well as "Give It Away" with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. At the time, the up-and-coming singer says he "had to keep reminding them why they took a chance on me. You put that camera on my band and me, and I got you." Before he...
