didnt see this anywhere unless its lurking in a thread somewhere. apologies in advance.

MIKA wins Brit Best Breakthrough Artist!
Great news – MIKA has won the 2008 Brits Best Breakthrough Artist, an award voted by Radio One Listeners and one where I am sure you played a major part. Thanks a million guys – fantastic effort!

MIKA was not so lucky with the Best UK Single, Best UK Male Singer and Best UK Album but still had an amazing night with a stellar opening performance. His medley of ‘Love Today’, a duet with Beth Ditto on ‘Standing In The Way Of Control’ and Best Single nomination ‘Grace Kelly’ will surely be a talking point for some time to come.

So a great night that cap a great 12 months of MIKA achievements – thanks to you all for your support and your votes and your general well wishes. Top stuff.

You're welcome MIKA!

He looked stunning, his performance was simply amazing and he actually looked happy and rested during the show. He was FABULOUS. Can't wait to see it on TV

Thanks for posting

As nice as this is, I would hope that Mika himself will post a thanks to the fans, much like he did for the birthday present last year.
Because he didn't do it in his speech, and that's a big no no.
In fact the only ones who did thank the fans, were Take That.
I'm not dissing the big guy, and maybe he was going to say something if he'd won best male, but to be honest, the time to say it was for the breakthrough, because that was voted for by the fans.
As I said in an earlier post, the Fratellis made the same mistake last year and apologized afterwards.
I know he mentioned the people who initially discovered him in the popbitch blog, but over the last year he has gathered a much larger fanbase and not to acknowledge this is hardly fair.
Just my opinion.

When I read that on myspace I did wonder what poor soul was stuck at home on the laptop while everyone else was going out and getting drunk.

He should've won best male as well........what is wrong with people?!

But I"m happy for him nonetheless! His performance was fantastic!

I agree Rose! I said a similar thing to someone earlier.....I was quite disappointed that he failed to mention the fans, who have been his main support. Hell, the only support besides Jo Whiley and Chris Moyles

It was probably the emotions and excitement of the moment...

Hum, turns out he sort of did...he thanked the radio 1 listeners then? I must admit i was hoping for him to mention fans in general though, for the support he got last year, knowing how hard people have pushed him, etc...Specially the PR work we do for him!!
I lost count of the number of people that I have converted to Mika so far!
