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 :D


he's wonderful :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: mika
 

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

Re: mika
 

now now entwisi stop being a bitch

Re: mika
 

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.

Re: mika
 

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?

Re: mika
 

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.

Re: mika
 

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.

Re: mika
 

exactly willow, each to there own

Re: mika
 

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?:D



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!:D

Re: mika
 

well if he was born in lebanon uncle rindy that would make him lebanese :) are you tired love??

Re: mika
 

There is actually very little new, unique music. Music that can't be traced back to an earlier style or band, or that isn't derivative of anyone else.

List any of your favourite bands, and I'll tell you who they are ripping off....oops, meant influenced by.;)

Re: mika
 

Doh.:o

Lucky I didn't roll him in a Rizla, and try to smoke him.:D

Re: mika
 

ah bless ya xxx i'm glad it wasnt just me who watched it

Re: mika
 

Oh gawd the girls punished me with that blumming song earlier :( Grace Kelly song reminds me of "Sugar baby love, by the Rubettes" making me wince for imaginary balls squeezed so hard :rofl38:

Re: mika
 

No, it was great.

My friends were playing his cd all weekend in the car, and it was a real treat to get to watch the concert, so I could see who he was.

That's his sister who plays the drums, isn't it?

Re: mika
 

I agree Mika brilliant!

Re: mika
 

i dont know if it is or not, she looked a bit too dark to be his sister, i'll google it ;)

Re: mika
 

I think Mika is pooh pooh ......... just my two penneth for what it's worth :D

Re: mika
 

thats fair enough, each to there own

Re: mika
 

this is all i could really find on him uncle rindy :(



I was born in lebanon and rasied in Paris and London, hopping from country to country like a footloose hippy with my four brothers and sisters.

Coming from different background to most I found no place at school and delved into music from an early age. I started writing songs as a kid, not because of grand ambitions but because it was an easy way to tell a story, a joke and often the truth. Tell the truth in a song and people are less ****ed off than if you were to say it to their face.

I sent out my stories to anyone and everyone, not surprisingly I often got no reply. The further I got into music the more attention I was getting for my own song writing, I made a choice last year and decided to go for it.

'Life In Cartoon Motion' is my first record. It has a coming of age theme, and deals with my transition from childhood to now. What's my sound? I guess it's in the writing. I apologise in advance to the people whos stories and characters I have borrowed from. Remember, It's only a caricature.

Re: mika
 

just heard mika for the 1st time today, i aint one to praise modern crap but i actually liked the CD. Grace Kelly track had a sound of Freddie Mercury to me,and that cant be bad. AGREE with Flashy.

Re: mika
 

Ithought 'Grace Kelly' sounded like that bag of bones out of The Darkness,and i hated them as well:eek:

Re: mika
 

I said that to another accywebber the other day! :D

Re: mika
 

For those who are again being personal, I have again deleted threads.

If another person starts targetting another, the next course of action will be a ban. Keep threads on topic. Debates are welcome, personal attacks are not.

It's a bigger thing to just ignore others who become personal and just report them. That's more grown up.

Re: mika
 

Re: mika
 

yeah i can see where maxy's coming from with the darkness thing, but like you said willow he is better than the darkness (i dont like them)

Re: mika

Re: mika
 

I've heard the full album now, not just his chart stuff ... I take back what I said he's not bad actually. :eek:

Re: mika

Re: mika
 

I think the more you listen to it the catchier it becomes, I cant think of a single track on that album that I dont like.

Re: mika
 

i like to listen to him when i'm in the bath.....reece thinks its hilarious when i sing along to them

Re: mika
 

Yeah he's definately a grower. I even like Grace Kelly now it's not on the radio every other song.

Re: mika
 

must say i really like this guy.... would like to hear full album though...

Re: mika
 

he must be doin summat right if even i like him.;)

Re: mika
 

YouTube - Happy Ending


this is mika's new one, i think its luffly :D

Re: mika
 

Personally I think he is just average. Mind you consideringthe music scene at the moment that isn't saying much.

Re: mika
 

I still like him, the songs are really catchy.

Just listened to the new one, didn't realise its one off the album ok though

Re: mika
 

yeah its number 10 on the album

Re: mika
 

Still a good album that:)

Re: mika
 

Didnt someone say about this guy well before he was known here?

Re: mika
 

Agh! Not Mika. My sister and mother both love Mika, I can't escape from his high pitch warblings (puts fingers in ears :D).

Re: mika
 

Didnt someone say about this guy well before he was known here?



like repeating yourself do you?

Re: mika
 

I have to sometimes.

Re: mika
 

IT sounds like MIKA’s mum and dad had a right laugh when thinking up a name for him.
The flamboyant singer says his parents always picked names with special meanings for him and siblings.
He explained: “I was born in 1983 in Beirut. My mum’s Lebanese and my dad is American.
“My parents have given all of their children exotic names with special meanings.
“My brother is called Fortuné, meaning ‘luck’ in French. My sisters are called Paloma, meaning ‘dove’; Allegra, ‘happiness’; and Yasmine, which is ‘flower’.
“All lovely, but I don’t know what they thought about with me. They called me Mika, which actually means ‘plastic bag’ in Moroccan.
“Still, I love my name and I will never change it.”
I think Mika would look great carrying my shopping.
It must only be a matter of time before Tesco come knocking on his door to offer him a deal . . .

Re: mika
 

Could of been oooops! We forgot the "plastic bag";)

Re: mika
 

the guy was on jools holland new years eve, was great along with many others.;)

Re: mika
 

We watched that too! Was definitely one of Jools's best recent turn outs

Re: mika

Re: mika
 

Til I tell ya I also like......Daniel O Donnell!:tongueout
