I heard Mika alot on the radio, and I have to admit that I sort of dismissed him as just another artist. Then, completely by accident, I saw one of his live performances on TV and was amazed that it was actually live and by how talented he was. Just seeing one live performance started it, and now I am gradually becoming more & more obsessed.
I think he got overplayed on the radio though (although obviously getting radio play is a good thing), and that means that people are more likely to dismiss him - as I originally did.
