Mika, is he the best pop star since Madonna?

By all accounts, 2012 Madonna is about to drop one of her best albums.
Oh, oh. Are we posting videos of Queen covers we don't like? I'll contribute!
You'd think she'd be able to nail the "I'll face it with a grin / I'm never givin' in / On with the show"
(one take, dying from AIDS, nailed it)
Maybe. Bedtime Stories was the last Madonna record I enjoyed. Everything since then left me unimpressed. I'm not saying that they are necessarily bad records, but just that they aren't my particular cup of tea. I've heard some tracks of her new record and I can say that I'll be passing on that record as well.

Nothing really to add to the thread, but on a pop-related tangent morbid curiosity caused me to view this link from RPS and now I can't get this damn mashup out of my head:

He's too much of a twink for me to fuck. You can have.
real talk
I was deleting old PMs yesterday, because my Inbox just filled up for the first time, and someone (I can't remember who, sorry) referenced you as a 'pseudo-gay.'
Now I remember why. <3

I know how we can solve the energy crisis. All we need are some strong magnets, copper wire and Freddie Mercury's corpse.
We can do this guys!

He's also disappointed that Tupac had a smaller dick than Biggie
Who is this ugly 40 year old man with a bleached kid's hair cut?

I've wondered the same thing many, many times.

It reminds me of a 46 year old Nicki French doing a new version of the cover of Total Eclipse of the Heart that she did back in '93.

80s pop improves modern pop apparently.

It's New Wave. It even makes Gwen Stefani into something worth listening to. LMAB was a terrible fucking album apart from that song.
That's Robyn
She's awesome.
This thread just got good.

Well, I guess he can sing, but I'm not a fan of his super high whiny voice. And his songs are cute and happy, but they do nothing for me.

Jesus, that's terrible. Just like everything else she's ever done.
LAMB actually had a couple of really good 80s tinged songs, but The Sweet Escape, now that was absolutely atrocious, and seems to have killed her solo career.

I can't get into pop-gaf and the gifs are usually dumb/obnoxious but this one got me.

Isn't it VoxPop?
Like it was already mentioned, I think Scissor Sisters do a better version of what Mika does. I don't really have anything against him, I guess I'm just not a fan. It always makes me happy to see Robyn getting props, she really should thumbing her nose from the top of the charts. I do wish she would go back to her old haircut, though she looks cute in that gif Switters posted.

I have no idea who Mika is

I actually wish she'd done the cover the way she was doing them in the 80s. Even if the singing had been as 'eh' as that was, at least it would have amused:
Michael Jackson, Bad
Cyndi Lauper, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Madonna, Papa Don't Preach
Her insanity was apparent early on in her career.

This.
My sister tried telling me one time the complete opposite. "Mika is like a good Scissor Sisters." I've never heard such a ridiculous statement.
For people that like Mika but haven't listened to Scissor Sisters, do yourself a favor and check 'em out. I prefer their music, and Jake Shears' voice is superior to Mika's.
Nope, I haven't. I think the only cover of hers I've liked is her cover of Orbison's I Drove All Night. Still not as good as the original, but it works with what she's good at.

You just won my heart.
I wish I won Robyn's heart, she's so cute and adorable <3
Mika is fun and campy but not all that remarkable. To be honest i'm surprised anybody would ever ask this question.
but since this thread doesn't seem to be about Mika anymore
GEORGE MICHAEL BITCHEEEEES
Indeed....except for the voice is superior part.

I agree with this post, and fucking love the Scissor Sisters
Take Your Mama
I Don't Feel Like Dancing
I Can't Decide
Comfortably Numb (how can one listen to the original and hear this in their mind?)
Mary (slower ballad)
Still, as far as the premise of the thread, I can see where it's coming from. The Scissor Sisters aren't a "pop star" personality.

I have nothing against the Scissor Sisters (I like songs like Take Your Mama and I Don't Feel Like Dancin'), but this is easily one of the worst covers I've ever heard.
