OK, so the comparisons to Queen are obvious, but Mika is so much more than some glam rocker wannabe. His songs definetly have that glam rock vibe, but they have a unique transcendent, tongue in cheekiness all their own. Listen to Mika when you need a quick pick me up, when you are driving down a sunny road with the windows down, his music is just perfect for a light, groovey afternoon.

Welcome to the United States Mika! I loved this album so much, I went out and joined the online fan club, and I'm a 39 year old mother of 3!
Take a listen to "My Interpretation" .... Brilliant!
The whole album is just fantastic.

I dismissed this at first because I thought it was too close in content and feel to the Scissor Sisters new release, which was equally bright and poppy, but ultimately disappointing. Mika however avoids the same pifalls of SS. The falsetto is soul-souring rather than annoying, the silly little pop-songs are actually more complex and have more staying power than initial listen would suggest. In short this is perfect pop. 'Grace Kelly' is the obvious knock-out, but there are strong followups in 'Love Today', the very Freddy Mercuryesque 'Big Girl' and my favourite 'Take It Easy'. The influences of Robby Williams, Queen and Scissor Sisters, (even a bit of George Michael on 'Happy Ending') are maybe too close for comfort, but Mika ultimately transcends these and soars into a stratosphere of his own. Play it now, and play it hard, before you hate it next year...

Wow, where do I start? First off, the Scissor Sisters is one of my favorite bands, and I feel like Mika is blatantly ripping them off, but has far less skills than they do. His voice is so shrill and high-pitched it gets hard to listen to, and musically, I just can't find many interesting things about his music. But that is after hearing the Scissor Sisters. If you like Mika, be SURE to check them out!!!
After a while, I actually start thinking it's Miss Piggy singing - if you own this CD, listen to it and you'll see!!! The song where he keeps repeating "Love me, love me" I always hear "Kermie, Kermie" Sorry, this is probably rude, and I'm sure many people disagree with me, but I can't stand this CD. It makes me want to kick my stereo in. If you value your electronics and don't want to kick them in in a panic-induced rage, then don't buy this CD!

Mika has brought us one of the most fun CDs that I've seen in a few years. Yes, he sounds like Freddie Mercury at times, but he's got a style of his own.
If you've heard Grace Kelly, you should have a good idea of what Mika is all about. It's fun, high-pitched pop. If you're turned off by his falsetto, stay away from this album.
There are a couple not-so-good songs on this album at the end (I don't even remember their names because I skip over them), but other than that, every song will get stuck in your head for days. I highly recommend this!
