Title: Have you heard of Mika?
Post by: Kelda on February 12, 2007, 04:50:48 am

Yesterday, pop newcomer Mika was celebrating after reaching number one in the UK singles and album chart simultaneously.
 
The Beirut-born singer's debut album Life In Cartoon Motion entered at number one, while lead single Grace Kelly spends a fourth week at the top.

Have you heard of Mika and listend to his single 'Grace Kelly'?

This is a great little tune - and he sounds very Freddy Mercury like.

If you havwen't heard of him - I'm sure if you type 'mika grace kelly' into youtube it'll come up.

Sorry Kelda. I'm ashamed to admit I've never heard of Mika.  ???

I sure do hope they don't revoke my gay card for this.

But if you recommend her, I'll check out some of her music!  :)

Yeah - check him out - the initial single is good - must buy the album at some point as its getting VG reviews....

Its a toss up between Mika's 'Grace Kelly' & The View's 'I've got the same jeans on....' that i sing in my head all the time at the moment.

I've heard of him. I have listened to his one song a lot (it airs a lot on the radio channel I listen to) - but I forget the title. Yeah no, I just checked - RELAX TAKE IT EASY. Good stuff!

I'm listening to 'Grace Kelly' just now on http://www.myspace.com/mikamyspace (http://www.myspace.com/mikamyspace)

Here in NZ, Mika is VERY famous as a gay drag queen and as a composer of some substantial quality orchestral  pieces. Is there some other Mika I don't know about?
