Relax, Take It Easy... with Mika

Had to get back to blogging after seeing Mika at Popstarz (gay night every Friday @ Scala, Kings Cross, London) last week. What a natural performer - all smiles, flamboyant, yes, but absolutely talented as well - easy smooth vocals reminiscent of Freddie Mercury!

Funny commentary - esp. after singing "Billy Brown", after which he said "That song was made for Popstarz, I think!" (The song is about a man leaving his wife for another man!) His songs range from pop genius ("Grace Kelly") to absolutely ridiculous but fun ("Lollipop" - apparently his personal favorite.)

Mika grew up in a warzone in Beirut, and actually wrote one of the Orbit chewing gum commercial jingles! Not that he needs any blog promotion - his single "Grace Kelly" made it to number one through downloads only, the hard copy is only out this week!



Anyhow, you have to check at least these two songs out - absolutely fabulous.

If nothing else - he is absolute proof that Simon Cowell is full of it - read this to see what I mean. Funny!
