Mika (pop, myspace, song, Falsetto)

Mika is fun. His album is cutesy, sure, but it has good pop tunes and the sound and lyrics are a lot of fun.

It's not one of the great pop albums ever, but it's definitely worth listening to, in my opinion.

i think it has a merit as pop record...grace kelly is an infectious track
although the album does lack a bit mid-way through
and according to my best friend and homo extraordinaire mika also has merit as a *** icon

So do Cindy Lauper and Cher, that doesn't speak much to the quality of the music.

i was kidding....
and i said his album had merit as a pop release

I enjoyed his album for about a month... then I lost interest and I rarely ever listen to it. I'm sure I'll have the urge to go back and listen as some more time goes by... but his music can be too over the top for my tastes to listen on a regular basis.

Amen. The Mika/Freddie comparisons are borderline sacrilegious.

Whatsitoosit · 09-17-2008, 10:12 AM

The same thing was said about Justin Hawkins... and my first reaction was "oh hell no!". There are moments (seconds) when MIKA kinda/almost sounds a little bit close to Freddie but that's only because he is trying so hard to do so.
