lollipop_monkey Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 (From Houstonvoice.com) Suckin' too hard on my Mika-pop Some gays may be mad at Mika for refusing to answer ever-looming questions about his sexuality. He's "come out" only to say that he wants a gay following and that the hype should be based on his music and not which gender he'd prefer to go home with. His 'Gay/Post-Gay/Not Gay?' cover of Out Magazine left a lot of people with a lot of time on their hands disappointed — a top-billed feature in a gay mag should've given us some answers. I saw Mika last night at Washington's 9:30 Club. Maybe I want him to be gay so that my attraction to him can morph into mere admiration. Maybe I want him to be straight so that he defies stereotypes and, well, marries me. Because Mika's show was possibly the gayest thing I've ever seen — besides Rufus Wainwright getting crucified as the gay messiah. Before doors opened, two Dorothy-like girls in blonde wigs and poufy dresses distributed lollipops to the crowd. Mika wore light green pants, a white T-shirt and suspenders that hung around his waist. He hopped around, curls bobbing, and sang the pop-liscious hits everyone had come to hear. There was nothing sexual about his performance; in fact, it was juvenile and playful. The crowd — consisting mostly of young girls and older gay men — was there to have fun, dance hard, suck on their lollipops and sing along. So I guess I don't care about Mika's orientation. His Jackson 5 and Eurythmics cover choices and the fact that he made me cry with his song "Happy Ending" help me lean in a certain direction, but it really doesn't matter anymore. It should be all about his performance, and, after last night, it definitely is. By Rebecca Armendariz, Online Editor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel_tinydancer Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 thank you for posting this! i think she has a pretty good opinion when it comes to Mika. She should join the "I don't care" clan! lol "I guess i don't care" close enough! i was a little leary reading it at first but i think it has a good overall message.

tako Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yes! I completely agree. Finally a journalist that understands it is really all about the performance... and that he's attractive no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Such a nice review! Thanks for posting! But: The crowd — consisting mostly of young girls and older gay men...

dcdeb Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Such a nice review! Thanks for posting! But: Hehe, from the reports on the forum I got the impression that the DC audience consisted mostly of 30+ women... LOL! Hey! I resemble that remark! But seriously... NOT sexual? I'm not sure exactly where she was looking during Sweet Dreams... and no, he didn't take his shirt off, but oooooh, baby... But otherwise... it's a nice review. Better than one in today's Washington Post, for sure! dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
