Title: Mika and the Freddie mercury comparisons ?
Post by: Grouse on February 08, 2007, 08:47:44 AM
I've only recently found out about this guy through Brian may's weblog he appears to be pretty big over there in the UK but I don't get why everyone is acting like this guy is the reincarnation of Freddie, It annoys the hell out of me...

Imo, he's just trying to copy Freddie a bit too much...I mean the moves, the "looks", the way he sings and to top it all off he's also got the whole straight/bi-sexual thing going on.... :-\

he's got an amazing vocal range I'll give him that...

Would like to hear some opinions from you guys about these lame comparisons, or am I really the only one who feels this way...?

I've heard of him - but he sounds nothing like Freddie, the music he does is basically ultra-gay Scissor Sisters stuff

There is about a dozen galaxies in distance between Freddie and this asshole

He sounds ok, I'll give him that. But comparable to Freddie? 

Fuck no.

I've seen him on video hits a few times, the first thing i thought was, shit! he sounds just like freddie mercury, i thought it might have even been like an old queen song that someone had sampled and he was miming in the video. I like the song though, i think its fun.

Never heard of him.

Very much influence by Freddie. I do like him though. Its not easy to sound like Freddie.
