Hi everyone Did anyone see an interview or feature that was in a newspaper on Saturday- either the Star or the Sun? Someone saw it and didn't save it for me! Just wondered what it had said about the wonderful Mika! Also, does anyone have any details of any TV appearances that Mika will be making as I have never seen him interviewed! Only the video for Grace Kelly! Thanks!

Tuesday 16 January, 2007 In what promises to be the gay indie night of the year, new pop sensation Mika is set to perform live at Popstarz on Friday 26th January, 2007. The much hyped gig is now receiving even more attention due to Mika being placed at number 1 in the BBC’s ‘Best New Talent’’ sound of 2007 music poll. The award decided by 130 music critics and broadcasters indicates which acts industry insiders are tipping for the top in 2007. Past winners have included the likes of Keane, Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight and the Scissor Sisters. Mika’s first single ‘Grace Kelly’ is currently the most frequently pla…

Part 2. The drawings that go with the songs are immensely cute. Is that you? I do all the drawings with my sister who does drawings under the name Da Wack, which is so unlike her as she's dainty. They're like little caricatures of the songs, Lollipop Girl, Mrs Brown... And this is just the beginning, they're gonna be everywhere! There's going to be a little family of cartoons? Oh yeah, they live in the Emerald Forest. There's a very special little podcast we're working on because I really like The Archers, it's such a cool little oddity, a gem of this country. I was thinking "If we did the Archers, but in the Emerald Forest, instead of where the Archers is …

THE CD TIMES 17 January 2007 2006 saw Snow Patrol selling more albums in the UK than anyone else, beating the follow-up albums from both Scissor Sisters and Keane for the top spot. This year, if early predictions are anything to go by, the chart will be dominated by relative newcomer Mika, who has already been tipped by many as the artist most likely to succeed in 2007. Single Grace Kelly is already in the top five, purely on download sales alone weeks ahead of its physical release, and anticipation among Radio 2 listeners is high for the debut album. Helping matters along nicely is that fact that Mika is a relatively interesting fellow. Born in Beirut, he now r…

19 January 2007 John Dingwall gives Mika Grace Kelly 5/5 ALREADY high in the charts thanks to download sales alone, the Beirut-born singer's hi-camp offering is a blistering slice of feelgood power pop. With the best chorus of the year so far, the single doffs its cap to Freddie Mercury and Queen. Having heard his album, Life In Cartoon Motion, Mika is sure to be a major talent for 2007

The January clearout used to be a regular feature of the chart calendar, certainly from the late 80s onwards. Once everyone was back at work properly and in a position to promote new releases, the middle of January would traditionally see a rush of new singles flood the chart resulting in almost wholesale changes to the status quo. Then in the 21st century we kind of fell out of the habit, labels having realised that there was little to gain in everyone rushing new product out all at once and the "new season" of the chart ended up a more gradual process. This year things are slightly different as this is of course week 2 of the brave new world and everyone is dying to…

DAILY TELEGRAPH - 18/01/2007 The spirit of Queen's Freddie Mercury lives on in the flamboyant music of pop's hottest new act. Michael Deacon meets Mika The most hyped British pop act since Arctic Monkeys is only on his fourth song when a fan wrestles her way on to the stage to jerk and jive with her idol. By the standards of this Camden crowd, she doesn't look desperately trendy: sack-brown pleated skirt, shapeless woollen pullover, perm. But then, she is in her eighties. "Big girl, you are beautiful!" the singer trills, over a beat so jaunty it makes Scissor Sisters sound like a crematorium house band. "Woo!" hoots his geriatric devotee, rolling her h…

We say if you don't know you don't deserve a channel! Anyway, here is some of what they had to say: "Remember the buzz around Lily Allen before she became a household name? Mika could be the male version… Classically trained musician Mika (pronounce Meeka) is being touted as the next big thing before he’s even released a tune. The 23-year-old London-based dude’s tunes are big, funny, orchestral and poppy - we see him in the same vein as Scissor Sisters or Lily Allen… You read it here first! So another male singer/song-writer? I don’t say I’m a singer/songwriter because I don’t sit at my piano and moan – my th…

Part 1. Where have you been? This isn't some ridiculous trend you've fallen asleep and half-missed, this is MIKA, the most ebullient bundle of pop tunes you're going to hear all year!

Born in Lebanon, raised in Paris and London and now unleashing his cartoon pop stories on the world, believe us when we say that this isn't even hype - this is the real thing, done brilliantly.

12 January 2007 EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW HUNK DU JOUR MIKA takes a few minutes to answer our Random Hunk Questions, and we wax poetic about the huge success he'll be in the USA. MIKA (pronounced "MEE-ka") was recently voted #1 in the BBC News site's Sound of 2007 poll, and is quickly looking like a force to reckoned with in 2007. His debut album, Life in a Cartoon Motion, hits the states on March 27th. He lept into internet popularity when his MySpace page generated 250,000 plays for his fantastic first single, Grace Kelly in less than four months. As of today Grace Kelly has been played 343,000 times. [ Ed: The track is also becoming a big hit at our house. ]…

15 January 2007 MIKA'S TARTAN UP HIS SOUND Beirut singer boasts 'Scottish' accent Exclusive by Beverley Lyons & Showbiz Liz HE'S the 23-year-old Beirut-born singer/songwriter who has recently taken the country by storm. Described as the musical heir to Freddie Mercury and voted the sound of 2007 by a BBC poll, he's quite a talent. And now the Razz has managed to get an exclusive interview with the five-octave wielding vocalist billed as the 21st century's first superstar - Mika.

"Historic", "sensational", "flamboyant" and "without-any-doubt original" are just some of the adjectives being thrown around by critics in praise of 22 year-old rising UK newcomer, Mika, who, on the strength of his debut album Life In Cartoon Motion (Casablanca/Universal Republic Records), has already been minted to most 2007 Artists to Watch Polls, and we' re only a week into the new year! Most recently the talented singer/songwriter topped the prestigious BBC Sound of Music Poll for 2007, which has anointed previously unknown superstars such as 50 Cent, Keane and Corinne Bailey Rae. His much anticipated album is due in-stores in the U.S. on March 27. …

'I WOULD EAT DOG POO BUT WOULDN'T SWIM WITH FISH' MIKA INTERVIEW A cross between Scissor Sisters and Freddie Mercury who's arrived on the scene via Paris after fleeing war-torn Beirut - how could we not be intrigued by Mika? So how did you get into music? 'I got into it because I had a very tough Russian singing teacher from a very early age. I was about nine and she used to terrify me into practicing.' She didn't put you off music? 'I didn't have a chance to be put off. I'd be so f***ing terrified I kind of got on with it. When something like that becomes part of your life it's hard to remove it.' How did you get your break? 'I got my record deal …

Take a light sprinkle of Freddie Mercury. Add a dash of Beck. Mix with a drop of Prince, a pinch of Bolan, stir well eh voila! Ladies and Gentlemen, please meet Mika. His debut single Grace Kelly will be released on Jan 26th and is already a firm favourite on radio request lists across the country! He is currently putting the finishing touches to his debut album Life in Cartoon Motion, which will be out in early March. 22 year old virtuoso Mika (pronounced 'Meeka') is the sort of goose-bump-brilliant star that British pop is in desperate need of right now. A songwriter, performer, producer and orchestrator, his tunes combine a heady euphoric rush with darker unexpecte…
