Mika Mad

I posted this on a different thread: http://www.cd-wow.us/detail_results.php?product_code=1857279 $17.95 delivered!

White Queen has summed it up beautifully for me: "...Mika won't replace Freddie in my heart...he will "live" with him.." I do love them both, in different ways. Thank you, White Queen.

My CD has 11 tracks listed on the back: 1. Grace Kelly 2. Lollipop 3. My Interpretation 4. Love Today 5. Relax, Take It EAsy 6. Any Other World 7. Billy Brown 8. Big Girl (You are Beautiful) 9. Stuck in the Middle 10. Happy Ending 11. Ring Ring BUT it also has "Over my shoulder" on it, which plays between Happy Ending and Ring Ring. It is mentioned inside the booklet (listed last, not second to last), but not on the case. Confused? I was!

I love the video. The bit at the beginning where he sings "am I too dirty, am I too flirty" is gorgeous. If I was sitting on top of that piano and he looked at me like that I'd probably faint and fall of it! I also love the part near the end where he partially covers his eyes with his hands.....when it gets to that part of the video my house could fall down around me and I probably wouldn't notice.

Mine arrived today too! I have listened to it constantly (4 times so far, so the bloke I work with is a bit sick of it already). It is a truly fantastic album -there are just so many great songs on it. I'm one very happy Mika fan.

I'm just curious to know whether any other Queen fans out there feel a bit guilty about loving Mika so much? I have loved Freddie Mercury since I first watched the Bohemian Rhapsody video as a child in the 70s, but I never thought that anyone could match him. I was listening to some older Queen records (yes, vinyl!) tonight and I actually felt really guilty about my Mika obsession! I'm trying to console myself with a quote that I read from someone else on this board who said that "Freddie would be proud" (he would also probably be gutted that Mika is so much better looking than him!)

I don't know I'm being completely stupid here (I am new to all this), but I found this: http://www.cd-wow.us/detail_results.php?product_code=1857279 which makes it looks as if it is being released in America this week! (Sorry if I'm wrong!)

My 4 year old son's only comment (on Grace Kelly) so far: "Mummy, do you have to watch that video again, you've seen it hundreds of times". In my defence, I have probably only watched it about 50 or 60 times and my daughter loves it too!

Hello Russian Fan. I don't think that any of us here knows for sure, but we think that Mika doesn't have a girlfriend or a boyfriend. We can but dream........................

"a bit skinny in the hip department" !!! I love skinny hips on a bloke! I doubt that many of us could get into Mika's jeans (in either sense:naughty:)

Thank you for posting this briliant article. His personality really shows through in it and it's great to know even more about his background. It's easily the most interesting interview that I've read yet!

We know what size he is: perfect!

Ok, I'm not talking about who loves his music, because obviously we all do. Who in their right mind wouldn't? What I mean who really fancies Mika in an "Oh my God, look at those eyes, isn't every single thing he says or does so gorgeous" kind of way? Own up now and we'll see how many of us there are here! (Count me in, by the way!)

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I see that like me, you're in the "old enough to know better" category. ....but isn't it fun?!!!!

Could he be any more gorgeous? ...........Apparently so!!!! I think that I had better stop reading all the extra info on Mika before my teenage crush gets completely out of hand. I'm already worried that I'm having some sort of mid-life crisis! Why does he have this effect on so many people?

My album didn't turn up today. I sulked all morning, but I'm over it now (just). If it doesn't turn up on Monday morning I think I'll have to go to Woolies and buy another one. I can't bear waiting any longer than I absolutely have to!

I'm still holding out hope that I'll get the album tomorrow (Saturday). I'm going to ambush the postman. If he hasn't got it I'll have to be late for work on Monday because the post doesn't usually come until after I've left home and I can't bear the thought that it might be sitting on the mat at home waiting!

Hello Ellyn. I'm another "oldie" here, but the great thing about Mika's music is that it makes you feel like you're a teenager again (the return of the teenage crush has been a bit of a shock though!). My Mum (in her 60s) and my daughter who's 6 love him too, so there's no age limit to his fan base. All you need is a love of good music!

6ft 2 inches!!! Could he be any more gorgeous???? I'm a lanky 5ft 10in, so my imaginary Mika love-child would probably be a total bean-pole!

I have just found that in "The Knowledge" (the TV guide magazine that comes with The Times on Saturday) "The week's best music video" is Grace Kelly. Now, I'm not sure that I should post this because some of it isn't very complimentary, but we all love Mika enough to take it, so here goes: Spread throughout a selection of stills from the video is the following text: Quote: First, well done Mika for being a gay pop star who has got to No 1 without any protracted ambiguity a la Freddie or George. Not so well done for coming up with a video that screams "We're mad, we are! This amount of FUN should be illegal!" Loads of wacky people (cute kids, cute models, not-so-cute tea ladies caked in make-up) leaping about having FUN! Mika is queen bee, flicking his hips and puching the air. It's all a bit DFS-"Our leather suite saved our marriage!" GRIN " Unquote I have 2 gripes about this article. Firstly, the gay question, as it's been said so many times before, we don't know and we don't care. Secondly, if they think the video is so naff then why have they made it "The week's best music video"? Idiots with no taste I say...............

All you people who have got the album already!!!! I can be any colour you like, but right now I'm GREEN with envy. Counting the days now........................

Over the past few weeks my six year old daughter has slowly become almost as obsessed with Mika as I am! When she comes home from school each day, after the usual "what can I eat please" and "I'm thirsty" it's "Please can I hear Mika on your computer"! It started when I showed her the Grace Kelly video and she was fascinated by the little girl (and the even younger one who appears towards the end). She wants to know why Mika didn't ask her to be in the video! Then she wanted to watch other Mika songs and recently I caught her typing Mika into Google on her own and she found all sorts of stuff. Tonight I was trying to explain that maybe, if I'm really lucky, I might get the CD in the post next weekend and she said " WE Mummy,not I!"

Now I'm sorry! I really thought that everyone got a delivery on Saturday! I'm amazed that you don't get it in London, when we get it here in rural Wales.

We get mail on Saturdays. Doesn't everyone?
