I'm not talking about the pressure to remain closeted for performers who could pass for heterosexual (though I have my opinions on that, it is another topic). No one is gonna mistake Mika for straight. Doesn't he have a song about a man leaving his wife for another man? His whole image, and even his music, is pretty flamboyant, so it just seems outright silly to remain closeted, IMO. It's like if Rupaul had tried to be coy about his sexuality when he hit it big with "Supermodel". That would have just been stupid.

I do have to say though, the way he looks squicks me out. I sort of wish I never had watched his video--in stills he's ok, but in motion?? AH!

Too funny but also too true.

But what right do any of us have to tell someone that they should come out just because they're a bigger queen than Elizabeth (which I wholeheartedly agree with, he totally is. Totally)?

Oh, I know it's not my "right" to know his sexuality. I didn't even say I thought it was necessarily "wrong" for him to not come out. I just think it's annoying and stupid, especially considering what a queen he is (at least we agree on that!).

But on to more important issues, I agree he looks kind of hot in his photo-shopped publicity pictures, but in his videos and candid shots, he's fug.

True enough. Still loving the album. For that, I feel like I am going to musical hell when I die.

Wow I must say I am shocked at the HATE for Mika! I absolutely LOVE him. Love his voice, love Grace Kelly and Love Today... I think they're just awesome songs to pump you up. I mean they're just so happy. When I listen to them I feel like I've been dirnking some sort of magical fruity melted sugar drink that makes me grin uncontrollably and want to run up to strangers on the street and dance with them. I really wanted to go see him tomorrow but his show is sold out. For what it's worth, pretty much all of my friends adore him as well, and seeing as I am in a musical theatre program, 80% of my friends are gay boys.

He still creates a yuck factor, because his voice is like a bitch.

Man the freak up.

And as far as loving his music - I guess nothing counts for taste.

5 years from now, you'll look back upon today and think WTF was I thinking.

I must have lost my mind.

You poor thing. This too shall pass. At least that's what we tell people; when we actually don't believe it ourselves.

(Now what I typed aboved was a lite jest - it's all love baby)

I am stifling the urge (obviously not very well) to say Mika? who she he be?

Anyone that writes a song called, "Fat girl you are beautiful" and TRULY means it and endorses the first "size acceptance" night club in the world is OK in my book.


Rock on, Mika.

He's pandering to the fat girls. Now when I see him and on his arm is a fat bolo burger of a girl; then I will believe the hype. Until that time, he's just a hack!

[divasahm]

He's taking off on Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls".

Okay, we get it--you want to be the next Freddie Mercury. Get in line behind George Michael.

[Spinderella]

It's true, he's pandering to the fat girls. But I still love the song.

I think he's a better Freddie Mercury impersonator than Georgie Poo, though.
