Fue uno de los que lideraron las nominaciones a los Brit Awards -el Grammy inglés- en enero de este año. Y aunque sólo ganó en una categoría, está dando que hablar.
Nos referimos a Michael Holbrook Penniman Ismaili, más conocido en Gran Bretaña y resto del mundo como Mika.
El cantante de origen libanés decidió lanzar su primer álbum el año pasado, bajo el nombre de Life in cartoon motion, del cual extraemos su primer single Grace Kelly, tema que le valió muchas críticas por su parecido al legendario Freddie Mercury. Aunque claro, Mika se inclina más al pop.

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess Im a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!

CORO
I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don't yo like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on the shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!

CORO

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want

CORO
