remember that skit on SCTV where the two redneck guys would have a famous singer on their show and then while the guest was singing, the rednecks would make them explode and then say "WOO THEY BLOWED UP REAL GOOD!"

whenever mika hits that high note in the chorus of 'grace kelly', i always wish he was on that show. redface

I don't know what I love more...Mika or how much you hate him.

when we were in iceland, i felt like he was stalking us! for a week, there was no escape from him whatsoever. disbelief

he bugs! i was on the fence about him until i saw a documentary about him while i was on vacation...which was REPLAYED EVERY DAY...and the little fucker was so overly earnest and his answers were so predictable. i could just tell he'd be someone i'd want to slap if i had to hang out with him. that, and he's the leo sayer of the 21st century.

maybe the fame dude, but not gino vanelli. he was too "hey baby, sex me up".

leo sayer used to dress up like a mime sometimes. i can totally see mika doing that. if it were 1977, mika would be the very special guest on a shields & yarnell tv show. nod

I was thinking looks-wise on the Geno tip...but, you're right about the shields and yarnell thing...plus, he totally would have been one of those umbrella mimes Olivia seranades in "Xanadu"!

that was my point actually. that while there can be a great deal of joy in listening to an homage act do a distilled, rehashed version of what made a past artist great, it's not original or something that i'd consider "the best" of any year.


What about the best of the homage acts? OR the best of the unoriginal? It's already the end of May...2007 is not looking good for new artists.


There's nothing wrong with what or how Mika sounds. Not that many people are creating the sounds he is. No, not super original, but original enough and is a really good song writer and pianist.

Look at our other darling Amy Winehouse. Nothing now, but no ones really putting out that kind of song these days, so it's all good.

At least these artists and writing their own material and putting a little thought into what they are doing, unlike MANY MANY of the artists out there these days. Take a look at the highlighted....you tell me.

Judging by what I have seen and heard, he's gonna be around for a while nod Unless he ends up cracked out in an alley somewwhere with a needle sticking out of it, I think he's gonna be just fine.

he'll probably have a cult-following or become a gay-icon, the general public will get bored with him quickly though.....

Her vocal style is definitely unique - so, yes, that is original - but the music that accompanies it is not.


wow, you haven't heard much Bjork, have you?


but anyway, there's a difference between using the same instruments and ingredients people from 10 to 20 to 30 years ago used and making your entire output a love letter to another artist's sound.

Original to an extent, I guess. The atonal method she uses to compose a lot goes back years before Bjork was even born though.

Even though I think he's kinda fruity, he is more original than half the crap that's on the radio these days.

I think it's way way too soon to be judging what he'll do based on one album and 2 singles (one of which held #1 for 4 straight weeks). He has a lot of Moxy, that's what I am basing my beliefs on.

lol We do...George Michael, Boy George, Scissor Sistors...Not that those are anyone to look up to. But you do have your Rufus Wainrights too..; which seems to be the pidgeonhole MIKA is headed. I hope not though.

I don't understand this list. Are you saying Gwen Stefani or Beyonce or even Bone Thugs N Harmony are less orginal than Amy Winehouse? I'm not saying I love those artists (though I like them, in small doses), but I don't see how what they're doing is any less original than what Mark Ronson's doing.
