There was a Mika hype here in Lebanon since October (when we first started hearing "Take It Easy" on the radios, in the malls, etc..), but still it is not as much as the hype on other International Lebanese artists (like Shakira or MASSARI).. or the local artists...
but his fame is increasing greatly lately... specially with lots of airplay of Grace Kelly and Lollipop, and his new album coming out and all...
....he should really pop back to his home country one day....
