I've been through that too. Mika was just new here in Argentina and I had heard Grace Kelly a few weeks back before I told my best friend who Mika was. Well, some - let me rephrase that - MOST of my friends said he was ugly, and I told them that not only I like him because of his looks, but his music represents and communicates a feeling I get only when listening to HIS music.
Little by little, my best friend started liking him (it was probably 'cause I took the LICM cd to her house whenever I slept over - which is almost every friday ) and then all my friends dance to the songs.
It's just a matter of time, and I know how it feels not to talk about something you desperately want to. My whole family gave me the Mika Obsessed reputation after listening to his CD for a week.)
While your friends start realising who Mika is and in no time, he'll be famous - I mean, super famous - talk about Mika and just share any comments you have with someone on here.
Who's better to talk to than to craaazy Mika fans (myself included). No offense guys
Hope you can solve this, and know you can send a PM any time you like just to chat
BYE!
