Anyone ever heard of this guy? He's sounds amazingly like Freddie Mercury...and is just as flamboyant.

I know there are quite a few here who give love and respect to the late Mr. M. Thought I'd share...

Yeah, his album is pure pop, but you gotta admire the guy's falsetto. I was listening to the album driving home from a gig this weekend. Some really sucky tunes on it... and some really good tunes on it.

Dreadful, cringe-worthy and embarrassing. Inexplicably popular in Europe though.

Mika is a dork... Life in Cartoon Motion (was that the album name) was vapid.

I haven't heard an entire album but
"Grace Kelly" is of me and my daughter's favorite tunes :lol:

And he DOES pay some MAJOR homeage to the
late, great Mr Mercury in that one.

Absolutely LOVE it!
One of my favorite, guilty pleasures right up
there w/ Kelly Clarkson's "Since you been gone" :lol:

I remember when this song came out there was also talk
of a Movie being made about Freddie...
This kid would be fabulous!
AND he could do the entire soundtrack like
ICEMAN did for "The Doors" :lol:
