Weighing in on the Mika Debate
Granted, I haven't heard much (well alright, maybe just the single 'Grace Kelly') but so far, so good for this supposed Pop Idol reject.Mika's first single has bumped Britain's X-Factor winner, Leona Lewis, out of the number one slot. Leona's song (Kelly Clarkson's? Does Simon Cowell just get every other female winner on his shows to sing this song?) 'A Moment like this' spent 4 weeks as the number one song, amazing. Sidenote: The Music Slut's favourite group of wee Dundonians, The View, is number 3 on that chart with 'Same Jeans'- sweet.
I have a soft spot for anything a bit dancy, a bit glam, and right now, Mika seems to be feeding my Young Love, Scissor Sisters hang over with a perfectly spicy bloody mary of just that.
One question for Mika though, why the sexuality secrecy? Why would being proud of who you are, no matter whom you fancy, make a difference in the quality of your music? Be gay, be straight, be a transgendered monkey for all I care, just get me on the dance floor.
Brooklyn Vegan didn't take to Mika, but Arjan Writes sure did- check them out.

while i don't particularly dig the few tracks i've heard thus far, i'm gonna give him another chance to blow my mind. and also, he's gayer than a pink feather boa, boy needs to come out!!
I enjoy him :) Strange voice...I've only heard a few songs (including "Grace Kelly", of course) and he has a different sound...but sounds like he could've fit in fairly well in the 1980s...still...enjoyable.
