Belfast Telegraph Friday, February 16, 2007 By Tina Calder Wacky singer Mika is set to play in Northern Ireland this year. The star, who's debut single, Grace Kelly, and album, Life In Cartoon Motion, shot to number one in the charts this month, announced his first UK tour dates for London, Birmingham, Glasgow and Leeds. But a source at the 23-year-old's record company has revealed that gigs are to be announced in Ireland, both north and south, in the near future. The insider added: "Mika has a huge autumn tour planned for this year and it will come as no surprise that we intend to travel to Ireland and Northern Ireland for this. "We have only …

Another old review http://music.guardian.co.uk/live/story/0,,1965870,00.html Mika @ Christ Church Spitalfields, London Caroline Sullivan Thursday December 7, 2006 The Guardian Clearly feeling like dancing ... Mika If Leo Sayer and Scissor Sister Jake Shears were ever to reproduce, the result would be Mika, a Beirut-born Londoner whose falsetto pop-house will be either loved or loathed in 2007. Opening for soft-rock dweebs The Feeling - a less compatible double bill cannot be imagined - he wins over the crowd by remarking that his mother would be surprised to find him in this glorious East End church. So would the parishioners, no doubt, were they h…

Just read this evenings copy of London Lite and they seem to think that Mika was at the Cuckoo Club last night partying? But we all know that he was in Atlanta right??! and due in NYC tomorrow? Maybe the journalists need their eyes checking.. I have a contact at the Cuckoo Club.. so I might double check tomorrow I can't find the snippet online so here it is London Lite 15th February At least Mika's on song New chart-topper Mika showed the Brits winners how to belt out a tune at an afterparty. The Grace Kelly singer, who has enjoyed a dramatic reach for fame, joined Noel Gallagher et al at The Cuckoo Club last night. Judging from our picture, left…

It seems a safe new: On March, 3, Mika will be on stage at the most important Italian Music Festival, "Sanremo"(Liguria, Italy) in the final day of the competition...I think everybody in europe will watch him setting on "RAI1" or "RAi International"...If I can, surely I'll go in Liguria!

A number of Mac users who posted on this board indicated having problems accessing the Bonus Contact (2 videos and 2 acoustic tracks). Push Entertainment has apparently remedied this issue. Today I was able to access the files on my Intel Mac (using Safari and Windows Media Player). [You can save the files to your computer if you have Flip4Mac and QT Pro]. The downside is that when you click on the link "To see this fantastic session in full go to Yahoo Music," error messages pop up each time! Yahoo's LAUNCHcast is still not compatible with Mac OS X. From their Help Section: "LAUNCHcast is not currently compatible with: the Mac OS X operating system."

OHMY NEWS South Korea ART & LIFE British critics agree that 2007 will be the Beirut-born singer's year Elisa Etzberger Viali Published 2007-02-14 They've said he sings just like Freddie Mercury, plays the piano as smoothly as Elton John, is as flamboyant as the Scissor Sisters and has that characteristic British sense of humor. But let no mistake be made: Mika is doing his own thing. The 23-year-old pop singer/songwriter/virtuoso pianist can compose a catchy song unlike no other. After listening to his music once, you feel the urge to sing along. After hearing his music twice, it's impossible to stop humming it all week long. Mika's second released s…

It's for my school's little paper. I fell in love with Mika like, a day before the deadline for articles was due so I whipped this out. So yeah, Life in Cartoon Motion Review by me... British pop star Mika jumped to the top of the UK singles list barely two weeks after the release of the single ‘Grace Kelly.’ The artist admits the song is directed to a record company who wanted him to play by the current pop standards. Mika, the stage name for Beirut born Mica Penniman, is far from the standards. His debut album released in the UK on February 5th (US release is scheduled to be March 27th), Life in Cartoon Motion is, in the artist’s own w…

Hello Mikaholics I've mentioned this in passing somewhere else on here, but think it worthy of repeating. There's a really good interview and podcast (over 30 mins long, I think) from a couple of weeks ago available from The Times online at: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/audio_video/podcasts/article1186634.ece When you go to download, select "To download the podcast click here", and then SAVE IT TO YOUR HARD DRIVE! If you subscribe through itunes, or if you download but just click open, it won't be saved. The problem with subscribing to the podcast (as I discovered when I first did it) is that it appears to be in your itunes podcast library and you think…

the Razz: You can Mika my day, Annie; [streets Edition] SHOWBIZ LIZ & BEVERLEY LYONS. Daily Record. Glasgow (UK): Jan 27, 2007. CHART TOPPER Mika has been compared to Freddie Mercury but the singer says it's Annie Lennox who has been a massive influence on his career. And the Beirut-born singer, who crashed into the top of the charts last week with Grace Kelly, reckons he and Annie would form the perfect duet. Mika, 23, was recently told off by a sound engineer for sounding too Scottish when recording the single and his album, and now he's confessed it's Annie who is his ideal singing mate. He said: "Annie's voice is amazing. I can sing in the same r…

Take Freddie Mercury without the handlebar moustache; throw in equal dollops of Elton John, Robbie Williams, and Scissor Sisters; garnish with matinee-idol looks and the lyrical dexterity of a young David Bowie. The result is Mika, a young, London-based singer who has appeared from nowhere to go straight to the top of the charts. He's charming, he's 23, and if you believe the hype, he's the biggest thing to hit pop for a generation. On Sunday, Mika's debut single "Grace Kelly" became only the second track to reach number one on the strength of downloads alone (it isn't actually released until next week). His first album, Life in Cartoon Motion, will spark similar …

This may just be a gossip item. I picked up a snip on Google. "WZGC 92.9 FM Join DAVE FM for a special Valentine’s performance with MIKA" The URL for the station is http://www.z93.com and they have a LISTEN LIVE webstream. I have written to the station because I can't find any mention on their page - so it could be something that Google is just hanging onto and maybe has been cancelled, as there is no note of any performance in the station calendar on there. Well Mike is in Atlanta on 14th, so.... 20.00 EST would be 1am Thursday in the UK. Anyone got any information? CW. ---

U.K. music sensation, Mika is determined to make it in America! The Grace Kelly singer is willing to do whatever it takes to break in the U.S., and that includes doing the radio tour circuit. Mika recently did an in-studio performance at San Francisco's Star 101.3. And, we've gotten word that Los Angeles' very own Star (98.7) has been testing out Mika on the airwaves. Hopefully they'll keep playing him! perezhilton.com

Just came across this profile of Mika, a USA perspective. Some of this rings familiar from interviews, though documents some excellent Mika-quotes. CW. --- BMI February 5, 2007 "I grew up listening to everything from Joan Baez and Dylan, to Serge Gainsbourg and Flamenco,†says Mika, a 23-year-old singer, songwriter and producer whose sparkling debut album, Life in Cartoon Motion, has just been released. “My musical tastes have become more eclectic as I’ve gotten older, but I’m always going back to great artist songwriters, people who make great records to their own vision. Prince, Harry Nillson, Elton John, even Michael Jackso…
