At just past half nine last night, Mika bounded onstage to rapturous applause and cheers from an audience made up of men and women of all ages.
You’d have to have been living under a rock at the bottom of the sea to not notice Mika in these last couple of months. His single Grace Kelly smashed the charts like a much-needed sledgehammer, and is still firmly seated in the number 1 throne.
One listen to this slice of camp and catchy pop music and you'll agree that Mika is going to be a big hit in 2007. Skipping along happily like the love-child of Freddie Mercury and the Scissor Sisters, Grace Kelly is about identity and frustration with lack of acceptance, with lyrics such as "I try to be like Grace Kelly, But all her looks were too sad, So I tried a little Freddie, I've gone identity mad!"
