I think it's about time the extremely talented and handsome Pharrell, got his own thread.


Yep, I love him :coolio:




At the 2015 Grammys, Feb. 8th. He won Best Pop Solo Performance for "Happy (Live)".

too bad his wife wore that track suit to the Grammys
She could have looked gorgeous in a dress. I've never seen her before.

They're both eclectic and she might be more so than him. So if the track suit bothers you, I can almost guarantee that even if she wore a dress it would've still been an "interesting" number.

somehow him wearing the short pants, while not the best look, comes off kind of quirky.....

she is a very pretty woman, tall with a good figure. that outfit is fine on her for a trip to the store but she could have really looked beautiful for the red carpet

just my opinion

I just can't with this comparison :laugh: They're not ready to sue again because they received enough for 'Blurred Lines' for now.

Pharrell Williams Accused Of Copying Another Of Marvin Gaye's Tracks In Hit Song 'Happy'
Pharrell and Robin Thicke's lawyer also confirmed they WILL be appealing 'Blurred Lines' verdict.

Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke might have lost their 'Blurred Lines' lawsuit just yesterday, but Marvin Gaye's family are already claiming that another of Pharrell's songs is *pretty* similar to Marvin's classic, 'Ain't That Peculiar'.

Don't worry though, because the family have revealed that they don't want to return to the courtroom just yet, even hinting that they'd quite like the 'Happy' singer himself to perform at a tribute show.

Every cloud has a silver lining, right Pharrell?

Yesterday, a Los Angeles jury found that the 'Blurred Lines' hitmakers DID rip off Marvin's 1977 hit, ordering them to pay his children Nona, Frankie and Marvin Gaye III a whopping $7.3 million in compensation.

Broken down, that's $1.6 million from Pharrell and $1.7 million from Robin to cover compensation for loss of profits, with the other $4 million awarded for damages.

Yikes.

Speaking in an interview after the verdict was announced, Marvin's ex-wife Janis, along with his children, explained how they felt following their win.

Janis told Entertainment Tonight: "I lost it. I was filled with incredibly powerful emotion."
They also explained that they don't hold a grudge against 41-year-old Pharrell because they "know good people do bad things."

In fact, they'd actually quite like him to perform at a tribute show for Marvin himself, which is lovely.

However, that's not the end of this saga just yet, as they now claim Pharrell's hit 'Happy' (yep, the one that's catchier than the common cold) sounds remarkably similar to Marvin's song 'Ain't That Peculiar'.

And so it continues.

Marvin's daughter Nona revealed: "I'm not going to lie. I do think they sound alike."

Luckily though, Marvin's daughter Nona has reassured us that they won't be rushing back to the courtroom anytime soon, because they're "not in that space."

In fact, the 'Blurred Lines' lawsuit itself is not quite as finished as we thought, as Pharrell and Robin's lawyer Howard E. King has revealed that he would be appealing the jury's verdict.
Speaking to FOX Business News, he said: "We owe it to song writers around the world to make sure this verdict doesn’t stand.

"My clients know that they wrote the song ‘Blurred Lines’ from their hearts and souls and no other source. We are going to exercise every post trial remedy we have to make sure this verdict does not stand. We look at it as being in the seventh inning of a game that could go into extra innings."

Speaking about the possibility of a 'Happy' lawsuit, Howard added: "Pharrell has readily admitted that Marvin Gaye is one of his idols, but it’s silk and rayon.

"If this is the way the law is going to go, then the creator of rayon better look behind him for lawsuits from the owners of silk, because, even though they feel the same they are structurally, completely different just like these songs."

Watch this space.

Good to hear they are appealing the 'Blurred Lines' verdict, I rolled my eyes hard at the fact the Gaye family won- ridiculous. I listened to BL and Got To Give It Up side by side and can't hear where it sounds like BL was copied, there are some slight similarities but that's it IMO, same goes for the 'Happy' and 'Ain't that peculiar' comparison, slight similarities.
Surely producers are aloud to be influenced by a certain sound/certain artists when making new music... and there are plenty of songs out there that sound blatantly copied, but these songs are not in that category.
The Gaye family seem to be reaching, desperately.
