Via ContactMusic: Pop sensation MIKA hopes critics will stop comparing him to British music legends QUEEN – because he doesn’t want to be associated with FREDDIE MERCURY’s dress sense. The GRACE KELLY star, who yesterday (26MAR07) dubbed SCISSOR SISTERS “mediocre”, admits he finds it tough when the press liken his music to that released by the group’s late flamboyant frontman. He tells the New York Daily News, “I get tired of talking about it. I would be willing to more if that’s where I was coming from. Just so long as they don’t compare our dress sense.”
Below is the video for Mika’s massive single ‘Grace Kelly’; we ask you – is the Freddie comparison a fair one?
Mika – Grace Kelly
uh … yea
If he does not wish to be compared to Freddie Mercury, then might I recommend that he not write, sound, or get produced in a way that is all but a complete facsimile of Freddie Mercury. Just a thought.
i think they are two different styles of music, but i can see why people would say he sounds just like Freddie Mercury. the vocal styles are similar and the way he presents himself on stage. other than that, i think the genre of music is totally different.
