Hawaii - Bruno Mars

We realize that this is a highly subjective question, but can you think of a better 'song and dance' man since the peak of Michael Jackson's fame than Bruno Mars? Mars is a performer who can do it all; he has the look, he has the moves, and he has an ear for a catchy tune. The ubiquitous success of 'Uptown Funk' should work as evidence for that on its own, but 'Grenade,' and 'Just the Way You Are' have proven that he's anything but a one trick pony.

It makes sense that Mars reminds us so much of Jackson; he grew up in a family of performs, as Jackson did, and also impersonated Jackson regularly during family revue shows at Waikiki Beach in Hawaii. During 2019 he can be found performing a residency at Las Vegas, although he still finds time to collaborate on singles with other artists occasionally, most recently with Cardi B on 'Please Me.'
