ET Recommends - 40: Mika



Listen, don't act so surprised, I have form here - OK?

This is like Jarvis and 'Another Brick In The Wall' and Queen and Lady Gaga and Belinda Carlisle and Ladies And Gentlemen...The Fabulous Stains combined...and who'd have thought it?! THAT'S A GOOD THING!!!

Listen to We Are Golden here. It actually makes way more sense if you listen to the song without watching the video.

    No one I know on Facebook seems to like Mika. What's up with that? Has everyone had a taste bypass since I left Brighton? Where's Simon Price when I need him? Where's Neil Griffin? Where's Jon Slade, come to that? You're not going to tell me that Mr Slade doesn't adore Mika...

    glass? why not toothpaste?

    that too. though it isn't quite as dramatic, is it?

    I know who he is ( because fucking stupid perez hilton has been promoting for him forever and stupid me reads that rag page). I'm with meg. but since we're talking mika, we're talking eating shit.

    Mika is so bloody awful, that's why. No self respecting music fan would!

    Everett True
    ah. but I have no self-respect... like any self-respecting music fan

    I like Mika. He was in the choir at the Brompton Oratory with my son - he's a lovely boy .

    No Mika is cool. Yet, I only own his debut album, I missed the last one. He's the 21st century Mercury.

    ET - but he's not straight, though, is he? He's gay, and a total pussy.

    Listened to that first album over and over - not by choice (working in a shop). Few experiences will ever feel as bad as that.

    I love the first Mika album, but the second one underwhelmed me a bit. Admitting you like Mika in polite company these days is a bit like saying you're into bestiality, but what the hell, I think he's a proper talent.

    Pure pop bliss! How can anyone actively hate something do unashamedly sweet & lighthearted from an ACTUAL musician?

    I wish he actually sound more like english production from 70s... sometimes I feel everything sounds very similar and too plastic, or perhaps too digital... oh I am getting old...
