  1. Hellogoodbye Like MikaArtist profile: hellogoodbye

     

    hellogoodbye are urging everyone to listen to Mika because he's 'awesome'.

     

    Frontman Forrest declared: "Check out Mika on iTunes. He's only got a few singles up but they're just that good that it warrants recommending, oh get the video! It's great. perezhilton.com praised Mika as "over-the-top and fagulous". I didn't think it was gayish, but I get called mean names from passing cars when I ride my bike so what do I know. I asked my girlfriend when I read that "do you think hes gay?" and she was like "ohhhh yaaaaah for sure." and I was like "really? I just thought he was awesome.". He is awesome though.

  2. Pillow talk: Mika ponders the "million dollar question".

     

     

     

    I've just invented a new word! Gaybe. It's a portmanteau term to describe those celebrities you strongly suspect are gay, but who refuse to confirm or deny it.

     

    Mika is currently Britain's biggest gaybe star. "I never talk about anything to do with my sexuality," he says, even though he just has, in this thick-as-a-post modern statement.

     

    At the end of last year, I tried to set up an interview with Mika for Gay Times. The press officer said his management insisted we had to email over the questions. Apparently the boy from Beirut was too damn busy, cause he was just taking off in the States. "Well, we'd prefer to do the interview face-to-face. Shall we wait 'til he's a bit less busy?"

     

    Weeks passed, pages flew off a calendar, but he never was. Which all seemed instructive enough in itself...

     

    Eventually, we gave up waiting and emailed over some questions, including the obvious: "Are you gay?"

     

    Mika's reply? "That's the million dollar question, isn't it?"

     

    Well, yes, it is - so is there any chance of you answering it, dear?

     

    "I just don't think I need to," he has said. "People ask me all the time. But I just don't see the point. I don't really feel that it's necessary to know in terms of my music. Some people make records that are defined by their sexuality, but mine really are not."

     

    Really? Reviews of Mika are always a laugh riot of euphemisms. He's invariably described as "camp" (nudge nudge) and "flamboyant" (wink wink). Just as his music is invariably compared to Scissor Sisters, Elton John and Queen. "So I tried a little Freddie, I've gone identity mad," he sang on Grace Kelly, which appears to be about this tricky subject, albeit conveyed through the medium of doggerel.

     

    Maybe those comparisons to Scissor Sisters, Elton and Queen are more apt, because Mika - or possibly his management - has taken note of how all their careers took a tumble in the States on account of them being too out?

     

    Last week, Mika revealed he'd even received a death threat. "It was over whether I am gay or not. He wasn't happy that I won't talk about my personal life like that." Although such ambisexuality has historically been a key - and often thrilling - component of British pop, from the Kinks to Take That, in the Noughties being gaybe seems as dull and retro as...

     

    Well, as Mika's music maybe?

  3. MIKA Stages Debut Art Exhibition

     

    With the success of MIKA's number one debut album Life in Cartoon Motion, MIKA has started showcasing his other artistic talents.

     

    Between 12-14th July at the Blink Gallery in London, MIKA exhibited art created around the release of the album.

     

    Co-curated by MIKA, artist Da Wack (MIKA's sister who hand-paints his designs), and the design company Airside (who help turn MIKA's art into sleeve designs), the exhibition showcased original paintings sketches and drawings MIKA has created over the years. The art is full of bright colours, influenced by and referencing pop art, 60's psych art, and illustrators/comic artistes such as Tony Millionaire and Jim Woodring.

     

    The art was not just restricted to paper or canvas: everything from windows to walls and doors were all painted in abstract psychedelic murals. The exhibition aimed to be colourful and exciting, to immerse his fans in 'MIKA-world'; a visual embodiment of his music.

     

    MIKA says: "I created a world for my music to exist within and we wanted to allow people to immerse themselves in this via this exhibition. It is important to create an exiting environment. I want it to feel like you are walking into the 'world of MIKA'. Colourful, psychedelic and irreverent, not serious and stuffy like a boring gallery."

    So open up, I’m climbin’ in,

    So take it easy

    Well I’m running down the road trying to loosen

    My load, got a world of trouble on my mind

    Lookin’ for a lover who won’t blow my

    Cover, she’s so hard to find

    Take it easy, take it easy

    Don’t let the sound of your own

    Wheels make you crazy
