Super-Premium Gourmet Bubble Gum...
Mika (pronounced MEE-KAH), who supplies today's Song of the Week is all of the following: a) a prodigious singer-songwriter-producer with the vocal talent of a Freddie Mercury or a George Michael;
b) a 'post-gay' poster boy who acts very gay and camp, embraces all sexuality, and rejects definitions;
c) a Lebanese-American-British 26-year-old teen idol;
d) a brilliant musical dessert chef who may yet give bubble gum a good name; and
e) yet another UK musical phenomenal as-yet unappreciated in the USA...
First of all, the music really is wonderful. Treat yourself to a listen and you may well be humming it all the live-long day... Here's Mika's wonderful live performance of 'We Are Golden' at the Sweden's Malmöfestivalen in, where else, Malmö, the country's third-largest city, just a stone's throw from Copenhagen across a very, very long bridge.. My thoughts on Mika's sexuality at the very end of this posting...
Here's 'Grace Kelly,' the irresistible song that put Mika on the map to begin with! Every part of this song dazzles the ear! It's also laced with dialogue from 'The Country Girl,' the movie that won Kelly her one Oscar.
Here's another great Mika song from his first album, 'Relax, Take It Easy...'
And here we have Mika living it large in his 'We Are Golden...' video
Finally....Swhile I'd clearly prefer it if Mika just said he was gay, since every 'coming out' boosts gay morale, he seems like a lovely, sunny, and welcoming person. Almost nobody who's straight has any problem 'defining' that immediately! Yes, I suppose we're all bisexual, very technically, to some degree, we're also all potential skydivers.. :-) In my view it's not very relevant if you're 90% gay or 90% straight, as most people are I believe...
