A friend of mine (normally a 80s hard-rock fan) has going on about Mika for months now, bigging him up to be the next Freddie Mercury. I`ve heard one of his tracks, and I can see the slight comparison in vocal sound, but I`m not going nuts for this guy the way some people seem to be (not suggesting you are badboybez ;) )

Saw him a month or so ago in a little live session and I was rather impressed. Dont hold out with the Freddie Mercury comparisons but certainly has talent (imo)

Not heard them, but on Jools Holland Hootennany this/last year, when he asked Simon Pegg who he liked at the mo, he said Mika.

All the things I`d read/heard about him suggested he was a bit of a pretentious little pr*ck, but heard him on Dermot O`Leary on Radio2 on Saturday and he seemed alright (Did a Shakira cover that was better than the original (not hard)).
Good god he is beginning to bug the s*** out of me all ready.

I was in the wifes car the other day and the Mika tune came on radio 1. I turned to radio 2 and it was on in almost the same f***ing place. In the end I put on talksport, which pleased her immensely....
