Just wondering what you all think? Is Mika a fully polished, top of the game singer/songwriter already, or do you think he he can do even better? I think it's a mixture of both: for a long time I've not seen such a perfectly ready star, but I also think he has a massive innate potential. Despite the hype built up around him, he still seems incredibly driven, without any complacency and I think this shows a hunger to do bigger, better and brighter things in the future. I'd be interested to see what you all think in these early days.

That's a great question. Hope he answers it, and hope the answer's yes. My questions would be: Which bands or musical artists who are active in the music scene today do you see as influences or rivals? If you could tour with anyone, who would it be? Art and imagry seem to be important to you. Do you have a favourite artist?

Bloc Party should get top 10, might get top 5 (even though it's their weakest track for a while, I think it'll benefit from the 'comeback' tag). Fall Out Boy could be another obstacle, but I think Mika should make it to the top of the tree. Because otherwise people might download it illegally and it's sales wouldn't count. Now that the charts have changed, the whole way music is released or flagged up for attention has also changed.

Hi. Never really done the whole introduction thing before, but got a really sweet reply from the forum (which seems to be friendly and compact, not like some of the others I've been on), and decided, what the heck, might as well... I heard Relax, Take It Easy last year on the radio and got hooked. Jools Holland show followed and now I'm properly fixated. So, "Hi!" if you've read this message and I hope to see you around the forums. I really don't know how to write these things, do I...
