I actually watched this live and I think this is the best performance on SNL of all time real talk
I remember hearing the song for the first time when watching this and it was performed so well
I've known that song for three 1/2 years and I still like the beats of this music! 😁🌐
Agreed. The spontaneous eruption of joy at the end of the song is unlike anything I've ever heard on SNL. And I love the way the backing band looks around at each other, seeming to say, "Oh man! That was awesome! We killed it, didn't we??!"
I'm 71 and I LOVE this song. It's on my Playlist.
Always Loved this masterpiece and the incredible talent of Bruno Mars. Anybody watch this in 2024?
In the last few months...these lyrics are exactly what I suspected to mean. Stay safe BRUNO.
Love watching this man dance. I am 72 and my great grandkids are trying to teach me to dance like him. They have taught me the Whip and Na Na. They enjoy teaching me lol
He is a Star. I think he is the best in his category

Brunomars90001@gmail.com thanks for your love and support ❤️♥️❤️
His dancing is so subtle and so relaxed. He knows exactly what he is doing because it's a part of him and he knows you don't need to go for broke. I think he's amazing and being 65 years old I didn't think I was going to see the next big thing.
My friend is 66 and going to see him in Vegas soon. She loves his dancing. And she’s a classically trained ballroom dancer but she always says Bruno has moves, charisma and is suave. In many ways he reminds me of Michael Jackson but more relaxed.
It's so relaxed because it's so rehearsed.
The people on stage are dancers, not musicians.
It's subtle because they are incredibly basic steps to learn,
"Too hot! Hot damn! Make a dragon wanna retire, man!" That line kills me. I do not like this...I LOVE THIS! The nostalgia this brings - my, my, my! To everyone involved with making this happen: THANK YOU. Funk is back & the only question I have is: where have you BEEN!? Bravo! (And yes, Morris Day and The Time/OG7 do come to mind, among many others when I hear this) There was a party in the house THAT night!
Hahaha me too "Too hot, Hot damn. Call the police and the fire man!
Amanda Whittaker I hear you on that one! You said it right: they made sure to include the FUN in this FUNK, and it paid off big time. It's so contagious, I am playing it again: Funk on! Lol
Bruno, his posse and his band do it RIGHT!! If I would've been in the audience that night, I would have been shaking my bootie up and down the aisle For sure!!!!❤❤
Bruno Mars is on of those rare artists who sounds either good or better live.
+Alexander Thomas True! Adele even said this too, in an interview with Zane Lowe: "Bruno mars is the best singer she's heard in person"
Brian Exactly! In this day and age, people don't need to sound good. It's nice
To see an artist that does sound good.
Uptown Funk never gets old and so much vibe, you felt annoyed wanna dance for it 😎 Bruno Mars is ❤💕
Only people who don’t wanna dance when they hear this are people who don’t have a pulse. 🥰
MJ, Prince, The Temptations, James Brown, Jackson 5...I saw them all in this one video.
Bruno and the band slayed the stage with this HOTT performance of Uptown Funk on SNL last night! I think I heard the stage scream Have Mercy! at some point cuz the Brunz was slaying it so hard lol. Like he totally slayed it to death, resurrected it, then slayed it again and gave it a funky funeral lol! But seriously once again Bruno proves that he's one of the best live performers out today! Thanks for another great performance ***** and thank you MarkRonsonVEVO! #brunomars #markronson #uptownfunk #snl40 #saturdaynightlive
I am 75 years young and this is one of my favorite artist of all time! No one can beat Bruno! Love ya Bruno❤!
I never ever get sick of watching Bruno sing this song & his whole group sing & dance to this fantastic song!!!! Love them preforming it on this show! His dance moves are extraordinary & they are all so synchronized!!! They are all “ JUST THE COOLEST!” ... SO EFFORTLESS AS THEY MAKE All “THESE JUST TO COOL FOR WORDS, DANCE MOVES!” Love it!!!♥️
Certainly one of the best performances in SNL history
I JUST now discovered Bruno Mars and this sworn hippie for life, who ONLY listens to music from the 70s, is HOOKED on his style, his swagger, and his music! Thank you, Bruno, for bringing back REAL music!!
@Bruno Mars if it's a bot then you're smart enough..if you're a real person then ..If only you had put this much effort into something other than scamming people.
Such an awesome song! I don't normally listen to funk, but it's a very catchy genre. It's been quite a while since I've heard a funk hit. Bravo to Bruno and Mark Ronson for bringing punk back to life. Makes me want to personally go back to the 90's and visit the 80's. :)
I think you mean the 70's? That was the decade of funk, 80's was the decade for glam rock and synthezisers, the 90's was the age of alternative rock and chessy pop.
TheMasterOfSounds glam rock was 70's not 80's Bowie, Bolan, Lou Reed some of the biggest glam rock artists were all 70s..
I remember being sleep with the tv on. I heard this and woke straight up and started jamming. This song & performance was incredible.
GOD DANG IT MARK RONSON JUST LOOKS SO CHILL WITH THAT GUITAR
it literally looks like he doesn't have a care in the world
He's one of the only few singers than can perform live and do it awesomely.
Its really lack luster compared to the music video, for obvious reasons
We need more live performances like this! The vocals, the band, the dance moves, PERFECTION!
Just watched this again. It’s 2020 and the whole number is just as solid, just as funky as it should be. Really well done song.
I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS SONG!! I WANT TO HEAR THIS KINDA MUSIC ON THE TOP 40 IN AUSTRALIA 24/7!!! BRUNA MARS WAS MADE FOR THIS.
Why does it need to be in the top 40? If you want to hear this type of music (done 100x better to boot) go and listen to Prince or The Time.
I do. I love Prince. Top 40 is more accessible. When I am at the gym they play top 40, most of my mates listen to top 40 so when I am with them it is always on. In fact I love 70s rock a lot more, I also love 90s rock. You sound like one of those people who thinks they are better than everyone else just because you listen to Zeppelin.
Gabby Bradley I hate rock actually. Prince is an international superstar enjoyed by millions, I'm not special in anyway because I listen to him. I definitely don't think I'm better than anyone else because of what music I enjoy. You would have to be a complete twat to take music so seriously. I just don't understand why people would rather listen to Ronson and Bruno trying really hard to sound like Prince when they could just listen to Prince do it with a lot more conviction and originality.
Carlie Evans Again, I am fully okay with people listening to absolutely whatever they want. I love Bruno as well. Gabby said she wanted to hear more of this music so I suggested she listen to Prince because he has 50+ songs in this style that she would probably like.
One more ...the best performance in 40 years of SNL...mic drop.
Killed it and you can feel me.
Have mercy Ms.Percy.
Absolutely pure entertainment. Love love LOVE Bruno Mars and the guys. So much joy, talent, and fun.
So yeah umm all those other so call artists? How about Bruno? Yeah he's a real arist pure talent!!!!
Preach. He's not a manufactured pop star that label created to get hit singles, selling product etc.
I’ve watched this at least 25 times, and could easily watch it another 50. What a performance!
Still watching May 7, 2023! Cool as ever!❤
I can't stop watching 4:13 and onward, how he yells "NYC, we ain't done yet!" and then jumps in with the rest of the guys in perfect synchronization ahh, gold!
The Hooligans didn't miss a step! And Bruno, well, almost NO one is better live than Peter is!!!! whoa!! "Don't believe me, just watch!" No lip sync for this dude; his live performance of "Runaway Baby" is still a classic IMO. "Girls sent ya hallelujah!" Love how they kept it going and going and going!! This is how it's done, people!!!!! Top drawer, first moment to last!!!!
I had to watch his live performance of "Runaway Baby" after reading this comment, and I have to say it's an instant classic for me. Seriously. Wow.
eljaykooljay
I KNOW! Isn't that one of THE BEST awards show performances EVER??? (ahead of P!nk doing her gymnastics and aerials in "Try") The gold clothes and the pompadour. The 2012 Grammy Awards, right? That's the one you saw? Dude is SERIOUSLY TALENTED, and has SUCH A BLAST with his performing I do trust. Runaway Baby is still my favorite Bruno song, and he has some good ones, eh?
I watched the X-Factor performance which was just as great. I can't find a good quality version of the Grammys, but it's okay :)
eljaykooljay
yeah, they've all been deleted, so sad! Some kind of copyright shit; the Grammy performance was...ACTUALLY EPIC!
Aside from pink who else do you think is just as good if not better than Bruno as a performer? Just curious. Bruno's the man!
Love it when the producer joins the live shows as well!!!
One of THE BEST songs of all time!
I can't find a good cover of this song. That just proves how good this song is. GO MARK RONSON!
Viet Kathy not saying there as good as him but against the current made a prity nice cover
SpaceWaster24 It's good but they don't really do anything original. It's pretty much a straight copy of the original with slightly more distorted guitars. They do look like they'd be fun to see live though.
You can search Trọng Hiếu in Vietnam Idol, he sing this song perfectly =))))
This reminded me of Morris Day and the Time,Cool and the Gang,Prince and James Brown all rolled into one!
Bringin' the funk back! Loved It!
Bruno and 99.9 % of his band are so happy to entertain!
I love his live music way more than his recorded music. He is damn good. I have seen him live in person and he is worth every cent. One of todays best live performers.
I won't say I love it more, it's just different. many people have never seen him live and don't know that side of his talent. I've been fortunate to have seen him live 2x. he's just not afraid to perform live or even change the arrangements of a recorded song. he was born to do this. he's the only artist that can do his own songs better than his own songs and do other artists better than their original versions. period. the best of today imo.
He's got that Michael Jackson aura. I think he would be really proud of Bruno
Just went through surgery and watching Bruno has kept my spirits up. God bless you Bruno.
Best combo performance and singer alive. Just can’t get enough of Bruno’s dancing and singing. So happy he brought back R&B.
When I first heard this song I almost cried because I missed James Brown and the funk so much. I watched Bruno and Mark, danced, laughed and still got misty eyed. THE FUNK FOREVER. Thankyouthankyou Bruno and Mark. Keep that shit on the one.
So dope it's ridiculous. I know y'all had to shower after all that funk you dropped. Absolute greatness. There is hope for good music after all.
great comment! but i'd rather keep my funk, cuzz its presence makes me happy and wanna dance!
Thats one of the Songs you listen to and it always wanna make you dance 💃🏻
Bruno Mars is so good. A rare performer that can sing and dance. His band and backup dancers are awesome, too.
Bruno Mars is the only singer who doesn't need auto tune or voice filters
Justin Ryan yep i know but to be honest i wasn't really in to music and when i was getting to like some songs i really liked that Bruno mars song and yes i don't really know some famous singers but i know those that known everywhere
***** What does him being gay have anything to do with his voice needing autotune or voice filters?
The little handshake at 2:48 made me die. LOOOOVE this track, gonna be playing it a LOT.
A great example of why Mark Ronson is one of the most respected producers/songwriters in the business. He's totally fine with hanging back and letting Bruno take the spotlight because he knows that will serve the song best.
He added nothing to this song...He's just a name......like a sticker or a printed label...
@@donburke4886 lmao that’s like saying Quentin Tarantino added nothing to Pulp Fiction
OK, I am obsessed with this song and video. I just can’t get over how much fun they are to watch. So freaking funky!
Bruno Mars is absolutely incredible. Superb Song!! His live performance looks like a music video. Damn what a song! love it. Love the energy and dance.
About time, Bruno Mars gave us a Funky boogie vibe instead of those depressing love songs...
John Lee have you listened to treasure? i'm not a big bruno mars fan but i know he doesn't just do slow love songs (which are really good btw)
I agree! I love his love songs but he is sing ridiculously talented he can do more.
One of my absolute favorite songs
Stunning level of professionalism on display here. Mars is peerless.
"Don't believe me just watch..."
Oh I definitely believe you Bruno, this is the jam! Love it!

Brunomars90001@gmail.com thanks for your love and support ❤️♥️❤️
Um Som maravilhoso desse merece ser repetido diversas vezes.. Amo essa música.. Que Tuuuuuudo! Adoro....
Pure Class!! I can't see this enough. Soo smooth, great beat and you know they're having a blast up there. LOVE IT!!
He is one of the only really great performers that we have today, he really knows how to entertain and perform.
Bruno Mar's roots are actually from Hawaii, where all local performers know old school style is the best way to go... Entertain people and Just GEE VUM! :)
DeeDee Lea I agree completely Dee Dee. I am a grandma, and I adore Bruno. You just gotta get up and dance, he is so talented and just amazing!! This is one of my favorite Bruno songs, and performances.
This young man bout to make an old woman have a heart attack! He doesn’t just sing, he makes love with music. Whewwww! I’m weak!
楽しそうに歌うなぁ😳
本当に音を楽しんでるとおもうう
It's not even a competition anymore for best live act. Bruno and the hooligans are the best live act right now. Straight killed it.
He's so talented! Makes his live performances more interesting than the studio version, one of the few people in the industry who can do this. Love me some Bruno Mars!
As I in my 60s mourn the oncoming demise of rock and roll, I am deeply grateful for performers like Bruno & Co.
Fantastic! Music, lyrics, singing, dancing, choreography, set, . . . need I go on! Absolutely outstanding!
this guy is a ball of funk, energy and cool. Cannot even explain how amazing and fantastic he is live.
A tribute to the classic funk of the late 70's and early 80's. Would have been a hit in the clubs at that time. Certain music never goes out of style.
Bruno Mars no matter how many versions of dance to this song there are, I NEVER get bored or tired with it. Matter of fact it makes this 64 yr old lady wanna jump up and jump in!
I maybe an old "white lady" but I love Bruno Mars and this song particularly!
Same here! Old, white, sometimes a lady, but "*always*" in love ♥♥♥ with Bruno Mars! 😜😂
4:43 Bruno's smile :) Best LIVE ever. Thank you, guys
I would not be surprised sometime in the future if there was a Bruno Mars Broadway play. This man is mesmerizing to watch and listen to. I’m also obsessed with music from the 50s -90s and he, his hooligans and musicians never disappoint.
I FINALLY found someone in the group that’ distracts me for a minute from looking at Bruno. Guy with black, white , gold shirt !!!
Love his Swag and movements 👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥SO far only person that has caught my eyes when standing with Bruno 😇😵💫🤣👏🏼⚡️⚡️✅💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Serious respect for every person that worked on this track, singer, songwriter, producer and musician alike. Love the old funk feeling and the choreography. So wonderful.
For anyone to say this guy is not ultra talented has no idea what talent is. Bruno Mars is part Elvis, part Michael Jackson, part Prince, part James Brown. One of the most talented artists out there today. Don't embarrass yourself by taking about something you have no clue about
Back up singers/dancers and dance routine are what makes this song a hit!
They came on to put on show and give people the "WOW!!!
They succeeded. Absolutely astounding
Definitely reminds me of Morris Day and The Time! The attitude that Morris Day has Bruno Mars picks up. The swagger that the fellas have definitely comes from The Time.
This goes to show, nothing mainstream musically would be in existence without Rhythm & Blues. It is making it's dire need of return to watery pop.
We gotta stop comparing Bruno Mars to Micheal Jackson he's Bruno Mars put some respect on his name.
Comparing Bruno Mars to Michael Jackson and James Brown is the ultimate tribute. If you don't recognize that as respect, you're hard to please!😯
i was never INTO Micheal jackson could never understand the HYPE AROUND HIM
but absolutely LOVE BRUNO MARS
He is absolutely my favorite pop star in the world, albeit I’m no huge pop fan, but this guy is amazing. Such well written songs, and just such a gifted entertainer. Love watching him and his boys perform live. You cant help yourself from dancing. I think the best to do it since MJ
The reaction of the musicians on stage at the end says a lot about how joyous the piece was.
I think (if i'm not sure) this is the greatest performance in snl history. brillant!
This song never gets old... awesome
かっこいいです。大好き❤️
I like this dude! What I really appreciate about him is the fact that he obviously has listened and studied the Funk Masters (Prince, James Brown, George Clinton, and the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, as well as The Tyme). This song embodies all of them. If you listen to this song and can sit still, you obviously have no pulse! Go 'head, Bruno!
I could have this song on a continuous loop and never get sick of it! Love the style of this song that much!
God bless Bruno's music 😍69yrs young get my day started with boogiein to Uptown Funk 💞
They are all so awesome performers! Love the song and how they compliment each other.💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song is so cool. Bruno (or whoever came up with this idea), is smart. Making good old school music like treasure and Uptown Funk that will attract all kinds of audiences from all ages.
Ronson comes up with the music for all his albums, Bruno probably collaborated the lyrics.
sebastian marco
bruno writes tons of his own songs-he and Ronson both wrote this song.
sebastian marco bruno co-produces everything he releases and sometimes produces it all with his partners philip lawerence, the guy in the glasses in the video above and Ari the engineer guy and together they have created their own production team. People forget that bruno started out behind the scenes as a songwriter and a producer.
Boys Noize was also apart of the process. Details yet to be revealed.
AH-MAY-ZING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRUNO YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! YOU + YOUR BAND + MARK RONSON = MAGIC!!!
I remember listening to this for weeks my sister won't stop playing it over and over but its such a fun song I just ended up dancing to it.
Totally love this talented musician!! He and Anderson Pakk make the best MUSIC
This performance did indeed " Funk me up" pretty good.Awesome singing and moves.The energy was contagious. " Julio,get the stretch".
Love the Dancing Moves ``Reminds me `` Of Motown Groups i grew up with``
I love this so much, I wish Mars would do more of this type of music. His slow songs just tear me up, you know way!
I am 77 years old but I love this performance. My feet and body start moving. What a great beat.
65; I'm with ya!!
Lmao..me too at 65!
❤
