Support NeoGAF

[BladeoftheImmortal]

I was going to say Freddy Mercury and then say Musician, but I thought people would shoot me.

Anyway, I've been listening to his stuff again lately and can't get it out of my head how crazy good his music is.

He's also got an amazing voice, and no auto-tuning to speak of. I love this guys music. Am I the only one?

 

[Escape Goat]

[Agnostic]

Op, link me to the best song/performance of this Mika because I don't know who that is.

 

[Fry]

Isn't he an 'one hit wonder'?

We Are Golden

 

[Magnus]

Sorry who?

 

[Kai Dracon]

The kid has an astounding voice, though I only really liked his debut album. I felt it was more spontaneous and creative, with great hooks. His stuff felt more manufactured after that...

 

[Rocket Punch]

 

[Recon]

When mention his name gets you a resounding "huh", the person should probably not be labeled a pop star. As it literally means popular star...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Sorry who?

the guy who's song is famous for a cell phone commercial or some shit and who you will probably never hear from again.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I was going to say Freddy Mercury and then say Musician, but I thought people would shoot me.?

So, you were gonna try a little Freddie?

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Apparently he was involved in the creation of what seems to be the best song on Madonna's new album

 

[Deadly Joker]

 

[06nbarnhill]

Nope. That said...not a fan of Madonna either. She hasn't released a song worth listening too in a decade.

 

[Gila]

The guy can hit high-notes like a mofo

any other world is my fav

 

[cartoon_soldier]

I'll bite

Who's Mika?

 

[3N16MA]

I had no clue who he was. Just looked him up on YouTube and found out he has a song titled "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)." Some truth to that.

diet coke and a pizza, please.

 

[petethepanda]

I saw him a few years ago with my ex. I kind of got dragged along but it was actually a great show. Never did look up his stuff after then, though.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

So, you were gonna try a little Freddie?

yes, i was. but my identity went mad.

 

[Platy]

I really like him .. love his voice but ....

I was going to say Freddy Mercury and then say Musician, but I thought people would shoot me.

...people would be shooting even if you said something like "Lady gaga, is he the best pop star since Madonna?" and she is now 500x more POPular than Mika

im not talking about popularity, but as a popstar he's the best running right now. lady gaga makes shitty music...i said it.

 

[steveovig]

Again, who?

 

[zero_suit]

lady gaga makes shitty music...i said it.

So does Madonna...

 

[SoulPlaya]

So does Madonna...

Yup.

 

[Fry]

lady gaga makes shitty music...i said it.

Her second album has some great songs, but overall, I'm not a big fan.

But these two albums combined (meant to be one) is a masterpiece.

 

[Brazil]

Mika's freaking awesome. He's definitely much better than any other pop artist from the past 15 years or so.

http://youtu.be/RVmG_d3HKBA

I can't wait for his new album.

 

[Toy Soldier]

I thought he was Robbie Williams for the longest time, when his first album hit.

Please leave now.

EDIT:Wait, not you! The dude you were quoting! Whoops!

 

[Mumei]

I like the two songs of his I know.

... 'bout all I can say.

Edit: Make that one. I can't remember the other song's name.

 

[Flink]

Reminds me of Bruno.

 

[GK86]

Who?

 

[SteveWinwood]

What? No. What? Oh you're serious? What? Oh come on.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Well he's definitely more talented than Madonna

 

[2th]

Who?

.

 

[Satch]

WHEW???

 

[TylerD]

Grace Kelly is very fun

 

[Atramental]

Relax, take it eee-eeessaayy

for there's nothing that we can do

Relax, take it eee-eeeassaayy

blame it on me or blame it on you



That's all I know him for.

 

[Eric C]

Who?

Spoiler

Not enough gifs in this thread. Since I don't really post POP gifs I spent 10-15 minutes searching for gifs on google. I was expecting this thread to be filled with gifs by now... POP GAF I'm disappointed.

 

[Poyunch]

Mika's pretty great but he's far from being a pop icon. Being a star implies some sort of fame, which Mika doesn't have much of.

 

[Satch]

We Are Golden

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

WHEW???

WHEW?! Not here for this pressed irrelevant. Clocked jasmine chai tea. Next flop.

[Grakl]

Janelle Monae

So how bout no

One of her singles

Though I suppose this isn't really pop. Can someone explain to me what pop is? Is it just popular music, or does it have a set style?

 

[titiklabingapat]

Billy Brown is my favorite song of his!

 

[Davey Cakes]

As someone who dislikes Top 40-esque pop music, I actually like Mika. My girlfriend loves him, too.

Then again, I guess the guy isn't really "pop" yet anyway. His music is styled like something you'd hear on the radio, but his exposure thus far has been limited, even with two albums.
