Capital Summertime Ball 2024

I'm loving 'Grace Kelly' by Mika. He's getting a lot of good reviews, although he hasn't made it yet. With an album out in the next few months, is he the one to watch this year?

[Grace]

Billy Brown is really good (mind you I only got it because it was iTunes free download of the week), the Feeling went on tour with him .

[John]

I like Mika. A cross between Orson and Scissor Sisters. Some might remember that a song called Relax by Mika was Scott's Record of the Week earlier in 2006

[Behelzebub]

Nooooooo... I'm sorry but I really don't see the appeal, he just sounds like a crappy Daniel Bedingfield wannabe.

Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life.

Two kids, a dog, and a cautionary wife.

While it was all going according to plan

Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man

Nooooooo... I'm sorry but I really don't see the appeal, he just sounds like a crappy Daniel Bedingfield wannabe.

Whoooooooooooo?!

[callum]

simple answer, i don't think he is the next big thing,

[DC]

leona is better than mika crap. she got christmas number one all by herself and certainly didn't get any help from a singing show with millions of viewers.

nah mika sound a bit too much like jimmy summerville for my liking. well relax did, i am yet to notice the track.

[natalie deakin]

Yeaah I remember that! I'm loving Grace Kelly - can't wait for the album.

Gosh someone in my Media is going to see MIKA. He isn't excited, and thought he was called MIKO. Freak:-)

[jembie]

Typical that I thought it was awful when I first heard it but I am warming to it now.

[Emma]

I have found out the album title, 'Life In Cartoon Motion!' I think it is out 5th of Feb!

[Grace]

Yep, you can pre-order it aswell.

[Jono]

Clever you!

[Emma]

Clever you!

Thanks, pal! No hint of sarcasm whatsoever!

Well, people wanted to know what is was called!

[Jono]

Mika made it to Number 3 this week on downloads alone

[Emma]

It's looking good for #1 then! Steal Leona's crown = yay!

[Monitorabbit]

Checked his Myspace and his website and doubt if he's the next big thing. I'd guess he'll be very successful for a while and then disappear with occasional revivals of his favourite hit(s).

No doubt he'll make shedloads of money, and then maybe he'll become a reclusive songwriter and record producer.

Just my opinion, of course.

[bolinbenny]

He seems all a bit "emperor's new clothes" to me

[MaryMary]

Is he actually a real person, or is he a "persona"? I just wondered if he was an alter-ego of someone else who wanted to do something different, or if he is a real person. I like the music, very interesting.

[Monitorabbit]

He appears to be real, has pics on his Myspace page.

[MaryMary]

Ah, scary Myspace! I only wondered, because every time I hear Grace Kelly I keep thinking it sounds like Robbie Williams trying to pretend he isn't Robbie Williams, which he has often said he would like to do, record an album as someone other than himself I mean. But yet again, it seems a brilliant hunch has missed the mark completely......!

[Jamie]

Ive got my hands on his album and i must say that i am quite liking it, its got some catchy tunes on it

[MaryMary]

Well Grace Kelly is definitely catchy, I like it a lot.

[Serin]

Do you think Mika is one of my kind?

I like the song too.

[Jono]

Well if he's a friend of Billy Brown, then yes he is. Billy Brown went on holiday with his wife, his kids, and a dog, and fell in love with another man.
