Who is this guy singing?

Jimbo · 9 Jan 2007 at 16:11

I keep hearing a guy on the radio at work and I thought at first it was the darkness but its not.

Anyway all i can tell you is some of the lyrics are... "do i attract you do i repulse you with my queasy smile, am i to dirty am i to flirty, do i like what you like.

why dont you like me, why dont you like, why do you not like yourself".

sings some bits really high.

Indeed it is Mika, and the song is Grace Kelly.

On Jools Holland's show

A rather amusing animated video to the song by some fan

Sounds a bit like a Freddie Mercury/Justin of Darkness mix to me, I like it

Brilliant!!

That is indeed the guy, magic thanks. Sounds like a star in the making.

Just been listening to some stuff on his website http://www.mikasounds.com and I really like it!

I predict this guy will be big

Theres a couple more on there that will probably be hits but the others will have you squeaming.

I think this guy is one of the most refreshing artists that has been around for ages. So many different styles and very versatile. Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I predict a number 1 slot for his album, as well as his first single (Grace Kelly)

Think Beck vs Queen vs Elton John vs Scissor Sister vs Robbie Williams and you are somewhere near!

Its all good imo, but I didnt like the album track (which is released in February by the way !) about lollipops.

BloodWolf · 27 Jan 2007 at 23:04

not a bad song ;D

I've just endured this album at work and its absolutely awful so heres hoping he's a one trick pony. I can't describe how bad his album is.

I picked up the album today and think its fantastic, love Lollipop, very energetic

The album is awful but it also reminds me of a band I followed in the mid 70's - SPARKS.
Sparks did that style waaaaaaaay better.

Didn't they do one of the Laurel and Hardy tunes? I had it as a single I'm sure...
