Re: So, this Mika guy...
Aside from Grace Kelly, I don't really see the vocal similarities to Freddie Mercury...When Mika does manage to sound like Freddie, I don't really think he's doing it on purpose so much as thats just how he sounds, because Mercury's voice is probably the most difficult to (successfully) imitate.
That said, I love his CD, and I had it playing non-stop when it first was released.
I think it's just when I'm listening to certain cuts on the album, all I can think is, ok, did he just COMPLETELY derive his style from Freddie Mercury? I understand influences, and all that jazz, but when he sounds so much like him it's scary, I start to think we've gone beyond derivative into downright copying.
