Cher’s debut performance of her new single, “Woman’s World,” drew me into watching The Voice last night for the first time this season, though the standout moment, a slimmed-down Christina Aguilera staking her claim next to Pitbull, came early in the broadcast.  Another bonus was Bruno Mars‘ performance of his new single, “Treasure,” a live re-creation of the song’s music video.

The “Treasure” music video is something of a re-creation itself, a stylized performance of the sort once featured on Soul Train and Solid Gold. With Mars and his backing band sporting coordinating outfits and executing synchronized dance moves, “Treasure” could easily be mistaken for archival footage of some heretofore unheralded funk band on Unsung.

Mars’ previous singles from Unorthodox Jukebox, “Locked Out Of Heaven” and “When I Was Your Man,” both reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. I bet he’ll go three for three with “Treasure,” which has summertime hit written all over it.
