popstar-in-waiting

mik.jpgmika has always wanted to be a popstar… and now it looks as if he’ll get his wish.

part scissor sisters, part robbie williams, mika has come up with something that is immediately engaging and gleefully buoyant. take lead single “relax, take it easy,” for example (you can hear it and several other keepers over at mika’s myspace page). it showcases his versatile, distinctive voice - which often veers into an appealing falsetto - over synths and a killer beat. naturally, “relax” sticks around in your head after just one listen, which is the true sign of a good pop song.

if you’re like me, you’re thinking, mika sure sounds gay! yet surprisingly, mika has remained mum on his sexuality. he told one reporter that he used to get called “fag” while he was in school, but then he coyly declined to be labeled one way or the other. never mind the fact that he’s got a song called “grace kelly” (need i say more??).

regardless, i say good luck to him. if you can sing a song and make me smile, that’s more than enough.
