MBroekhuijsen Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I was reading this cracked article on Freddie Mercury today (lots of... adult language, it IS a humor site after all - consider yourself warned) and at the end they compiled a chart of people who have been compared to Freddie Mercury. They included: why they've been compared, how they're similar, and a "verdict." I thought Mika might pop up on the list, and, preparing for the worst, was actually happy with the comparison they gave him! I thought they'd rip him apart, but it's favorable comparison, without accusing him of being a Mercury copy cat. Mika's an incredible artist in his own right, and while I know everyone gets a little tired of the comparison, it's still quite an honor to be even considered somewhat comparable to Mercury's magic! So i just thought this was an interesting read. Here's a screenshot of the first part of that chart (Mika got the highest similarity rating (4 out of 5 mustaches ) out of everyone on the chart) I was was talking about. Enjoy!

MBroekhuijsen Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 ha. Thanks you guys. No problem. Yeah, i was pretty happy that they were favorable to him, cause many aren't And DarkAngel (sorry, I lurk around here enough I should really know everyone's names by now!) I like that quote that you shared. Gotta love it when other famous people can recognize and appreciate Mika's genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I personally think Freddie's more camp than Mika lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Mastin Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I like that they say he's even more flamboyant, because he is. I also agree that Mika is young yet. I think as time goes on he'll be respected in his own right. But that was a very positive statement for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
