MIKA is everywhere on the blogosphere. And he should be. I first heard about him in October and now I can't stop listening to him.
It has been said that "Mika is what you would get if you took the Scissor Sisters and made them into one person" and "If Rufus made you sigh, and Jake made you dance, Mika is gonna make you squeal!" I couldn't agree more. Other influences include Freddie Mercury, George Michael, Elton John, Prince...do you get the gist? Gay gay gay.
Check out his piano rendition of "Grace Kelly":
MIKA's debut album "Life in Cartoon Motion" will be released in the UK on February 5 and on March 27 in the US -- right now, you can get the song "Love Today" at the US iTunes:
MIKA is 23, from Lebanon (raised in France and the UK), and yes, he is a gay homosexual. Go gays!
I have been following his progress at Arjan's blog (where you can check out two recent videos from MIKA here and here). More info on MIKA at Hunk du Jour, Queerty, MIKAsounds, gay.com, wiki, and his myspace page.
Thanks for posting that clip.
I wasn't quite sure if his name was proncounced Mee-Kah or My-Kah.
Now I know.

How do you know he is definitely gay?

Hey Craig, I got that from around the web. A few places say he refuses to confirm whether he is gay, so he may be a bit in the closet.
Gay.com UK had this to say: "I can tell you that he’s a bit lanky, a bit clowny, definitely a bit gay, and unapologetically joyful."

Oh come on..he never said if he was actually gay or not. he could just be in touch with his feminine side. pssht.

Oh drat, I really do hope he isn't gay. I have a crush on him and that just ruins all plans of seducing Mika. Haha!

hey remember the true meaning to the 'gay' word.. joyful!.. he is gay! definetly, but hope he's not homosexual!!
Posted by: | Aug 06, 2007 at 08:14 PM
ok, if he was not gay,hed just come out and say, "im not gay". no comment ALWAYS means yes when it comes to the gay subject. Not to mention he has a song about/devoted to gay men on his album...
Posted by: | Aug 31, 2007 at 02:18 AM
Hellll no!!!! Why the fuck do you just go making Mika gay.
Posted by: Rashmi | Jan 11, 2008 at 07:14 PM
First of all, he never said he was gay; he is too adorable to be gay. Second of all, Prince isnt gay; havent you seen him with all of those women!!!!
Posted by: jordan | Feb 06, 2008 at 08:13 PM
I still say gay.
Posted by: Queer Beacon | Feb 09, 2008 at 10:46 AM
PRINCE is not gay ........ you are stupid if you think so. it take a gay person to know one......
Posted by: | Mar 17, 2008 at 10:54 PM
well he is dating a girl and it's not the first time...so he is at least bisexual (if he ever was homosexual of course)
