Last night in a slightly too long two-hour finale of The Voice season seven, Craig Wayne Boyd was crowned the show's victor. But, between the season recap and the big winner being revealed, there was oodles of performances to be had. And Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars were on hand to bring some "Uptown Funk" to the set.
Channeling some old school Soul Train with a rousing group of singers and instrumentalists, Mars and Ronson brought their brand new dance (that's actually a month or two old but, we digress) to the show.
Performing in front of a stretch limo and a giant red illuminated "UPTOWN," Mars was center stage and full of cocky attitude (as "Uptown Funk" requires) was rocking gold curlers in his hair. It was a wonderfully odd styling choice, giving Mars a sense of casual "Oh shoot, am I on TV" with some real class because, well, they are golden after all! It's really something only Mars could pull off.
Despite his sass, Mars was all charm during "Uptown Funk," showing the budding musicians just how it should be done.
And Mark Ronson was there too, rocking a red suit jacket and playing just slightly away from all of the main action.
Watch the performance below:
"Uptown Funk" is the lead single from Mark Ronson's forthcoming album Uptown Special. As announced earlier this week, the album will also feature guest spots from Mystikal, Stevie Wonder, Tame Impala's Kevin Walker and more.
Uptown Special will be released on Jan. 12, 2015.
