Sarahlou1973 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I'm not in the habit of starting new threads, but I keep hearing this on the radio and it's so catchy, so I thought I would share it with you... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh3wSMM_nbE Has anyone else seen or heard of him? He is being described as like Marmite....who else do we know that has been referred to in the same way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_loves_mika Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ohhhhhh i saw him on itv last week. Not my kinda thing, but, he seems like he's doing his own thing which is good. Actually, he resembles Prince a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizsmith Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Never seen or heard of him before.. but i quite like his style... ya, also reminds me of Prince a little.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatagordinha Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I really like his voice, but then I'm a sucker for falsetto anyway (it's the falsetto thing which is the Marmite factor isn't it? ). This song is catchy but it kind of reminds me of a Eurovision entry probably from Serbia or Macedonia or somewhere like that. Dunno why!! It must be the rhythms.

pinkunicorn123 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Very catchy song. itunes says i have played it 17 times and uploaded it 1 month ago yesterday I dont describe it as marmite, i believe the other day i said it was like The Nightmare Before Christmas meets Fall Out Boy try this version: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_loves_mika Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Very catchy song.itunes says i have played it 17 times and uploaded it 1 month ago yesterday Illegally??? I can see the guy doing pretty well - he's got the originality factor and i think people will love him for that. His music will probably grow on me. I didn't take to Mika the very first time i heard him, then all of a sudden, i found myself playing Grace Kelly over and over again on iTunes and joining his fan club......

I do watch it, every year, though last year's was so awful that my patience has nearly run out. If it weren't for Terry Wogers I wouldn't watch it now. He still makes it funny, although even he is getting fed up now I think (only coz Ireland/Johnny Logan have stopped winning). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelzy Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I was just thinking.. When Mika launched out he brought with him a "Freddie" influence.. Now this guy, one year later, comes out with a Prince/Michael Jackson influence.. I'm interested to see if this guy gives Mika some tough competition.. I really love Sun goes down.. *wonders if there's a fan club* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not for long though) Yes! that's where i first heard him too. The Tie your mother down version was excellent. He did it justice (a lot of the acts on that show can't do a queen song justice - they sometimes kill it). But it was great! yeh! he looks sweet but with a touch of attitude, we could have a right bitch Yes!!! He seems like a pretty cool guy. One to watch for the future. Actually, i take back my first post, im really getting into his music actually now i've learnt more about him. I suppose you shouldnt judge a book by its cover or something?
