VIDEO: Bruno Mars Covers Janet's "That's the Way Love Goes"

Now for something completely different: Bruno Mars debuted a smooth, upbeat and entirely improvised cover of Janet Jackson's 1993 hit "That's the Way Love Goes" on December 29th at The Chelsea at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. Bruno has covered Michael Jackson songs previously and performed two of them in Vegas—"Billie Jean" and "Dirty Diana"—but this is the very first time he has covered Janet.

It's a clever and cute arrangement ... and I love the significance of a male pop star covering a dance hit by a female pop icon. Watch the performance AFTER THE JUMP ...
