i'm loving this man at the moment, was watching a concert he filmed for radio 2 last night and it was excellent,the vocal range on this guy is magnificent, he was born in lebanon but brought up in the uk from the age of 9

his songs such as...billy brown,lollipop(my favourite),relax(take it easy) and of course grace kelly fill me with excitement

he's wonderful

is it only me that when I hear "grace kelly" I think of our very own Rindy?

Music in this country is so strange. It's all either ultra camp pop nonsense like Mika or indie dance nonsense like Klaxons.
It's a poor state when there's only one or two decent chart songs every five years or so.

yeah but thats in your opinion, everyone has there own opinion on music and it just so happens that i like him and his music, so what if he is camp??? aren't camp people allowed to make music?

flashy I meant it as a compliment. That Rindys character is so confident etc that it actually makes a connection with a song like this in my head.

Fair enough, you like what you like. I really don't care, I was just putting my opinion in.
& I did not say that camp people cannot make music, nor did I insinuate it. Don't put words in my mouth.

I like Mika too. The first time I heard Grace Kelly it reminded me of "Blockbuster" by Sweet, with overtones of Queen.

It would be a boring world if everyone's musical taste was the same. I can't stand rap but understand that many people love it so for me to call it rubbish would be extremely foolish.

Is it only me, that when I read this thread, it makes me want to slap someone's legs the next time I see him?

Agreed, Mika is great. I only really heard his music this weekend, and I also saw the fab Radio 2 concert on television.

Is he Lebanese?

He sounds like a cross between Scissor Sisters and Freddie Mercury...only not quite as butch!

well if he was born in lebanon uncle rindy that would make him lebanese

are you tired love??
