20 minutes later, in a lively atmosphere, the screen displayed an image of Bruno Mars' album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, set against a unique blue background, with a picture of Bruno Mars next to it. Ellen stood center stage, holding the album's CD case, her excitement clear.
"Our next guest has been lighting up the music world with his incredible voice, electrifying performances, and unforgettable songs that have become anthems for millions around the globe," Ellen began, her voice full of energy.
"Hehas won countless awards, broken records, and performed on some of the biggest stages in the world. But tonight, right here on the Island of Sodor, it's his first and only time performing for us! Please welcome the incredibly talented, the one and only… BRUNO MARS!"
The audience cheered and the engines tooted as Bruno Mars walked out, wearing his signature style—sharp and polished, yet perfectly suited for the sunny outdoor setting. His band members, including a handbell choir that had been quietly playing the opening notes of Marry You during the introduction, followed closely behind, taking their positions.
The engines and the audience continued cheering, and the atmosphere was electric with excitement.
Ellen, smiling from ear to ear, gave a brief wave and stepped off the stage as the music swelled. Bruno Mars stood center stage, microphone in hand, as the band and handbell choir began playing the upbeat introduction to "Marry You."
The rhythm of the song filled the air as the handbell choir chimed in, adding a unique, melodic twist to the upbeat tune. The band played alongside with drums, bass, and guitars syncing together, creating a vibrant, celebratory atmosphere.
"It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you."
"Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby? I think I wanna marry you."
"Well, I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go.
No one will know.
Oh, come on, girl!"
"Who cares if we're trashed, got a pocket full of cash we can blow.
Shots of Patron,
And it's on, girl."
"Don't say no, no, no, no, no.
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we'll go, go, go, go, go.
If you're ready, like I'm ready."
"It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you."
"Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby? I think I wanna marry you."
"I'll go get a ring, let the choir bells sing like ooh.
So what you wanna do?
Let's just run, girl."
"If we wake up and you wanna break up, that's cool.
No, I won't blame you;
It was fun, girl."
"Don't say no, no, no, no, no.
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we'll go, go, go, go, go.
If you're ready, like I'm ready."
"It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you."
"Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby? I think I wanna marry you."
After the song ended, the crowd erupted into enthusiastic cheers and applause, while the engines whistled their appreciation in perfect harmony. Ellen, still clutching the CD of Doo-Wops & Hooligans, walked back onto the stage with her characteristic energy. She wrapped an arm around Bruno Mars' shoulders, beaming as she addressed the audience.
"CRAZY talented!" Ellen exclaimed, her voice full of excitement. "Crazy talented. Name of the CD is Doo-Wops & Hooligans! You're all going home with a copy!"
The crowd roared even louder, thrilled by the surprise. Ellen gave Bruno a warm hug before turning back to the audience.
"We'll be back! Bruno Mars, everybody! Amazing!" she announced as the show's theme played again, blending seamlessly with the audience's cheers.
Back among the engines, Emily couldn't contain her awe. "That was so beautiful!" she said, her eyes practically sparkling.
Gordon chimed in with enthusiasm, "My first time hearing him, and I already like his music!"
Thomas, Percy, and the others nodded in agreement, their admiration for Bruno Mars evident. The stage was alive with energy as the show prepared for its next segment.
