chaucer51 Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Expressing my ignorance, I'm not sure how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Do you have a Twitter account? You could send him the link. Not that you have to or anything, I was just wondering. Welcome to MFC by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 That is brilliant!!!!! Thanks for sharing. And I agree with Christine. Mika definitely needs to see that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico_collard Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 That was awesome! I loved it! The guy who did the speaking bits was very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sienna Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Wow, these guys are good! When introduced to other artists or people in general trying to mimic Mika I always use to think: Don’t do Mika whatever you do! It will never be good! But this vocalist really have a capacity to match Mika! Not as good of course, he’s not the man himself, but as good as it gets and definitely one of the best “covers” I have heard! I stayed and listened to a couple of their other songs to and I think their secret to success is to have a vocalist and let the choir “comp” (sorry, can’t find the English word) in the background. The audience made a lot of noise, I don’t know if that is bad or good, probably good! Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avoca Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 saw it this morn, but could not log in from work the version's grand! the lead singer's falsetto cannot keep up with mika's, but he's got a very nice voice and all the ensemble is pretty good. thanks for sharing and do let mika know about it. I'm sure he'll be pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaucer51 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 This video seems to have been popular with over 2,100 hits in the four weeks since it was posted. It has received some nice comments on the YouTube site from MIKA fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaucer51 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 A studio version of Grace Kelly is expected to be included on The Yale Spizzwinks(?) next album, Cause for Alarm. I have heard a pre-release version and it's fantastic, even better than the live version on YouTube. The album is also expected to include an a cappella version of Billie Jean which has become one of the most popular videos on the group's YouTube channel.

I didn't see this when it was posted in May. Brennan's performance is brilliant. I hope someone did send it to Mika. If not - someone with a twitter account PLEASE send it to him with the info about the new album. I think Mika would really appreciate Brennan & the choir's singing of Grace Kelly. I will put it on MikaSounds hoping Mika reads most things there like he said this week in an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh nice, is this going to be a regular series? Interesting that they do Mika's live version and not the recorded version with the "mad, mad, mad, mad".
