A lot of people might not know much about Mika. People will most probably know him after hearing the song "Happy Ending"
Mika's actual name is Mica Penniman and he was born in Lebanon to an American father and a Lebanese mother. His family had to move to Paris due to the war when he was one years old. At nine, he moved to London where he has been living up to this day. His days in London were not welcoming; he suffered sever bullying and dyslexia. Later on, he attended the Royal College of Music where he listened to much classical/opera music.
I cannot pin-point one favorite song of his. His music is very diverse, alot of them sounding gay others sounding depressing. Love today, Grace Kelly, Billy Brown, Big Girls, Over My Shoulder, The Only Lonely One, Relax Take It Easy, Any Other World, and last but not the least Happy Ending.
Songs like Grace Kelly, Billy Brown, Love today sound extremely gay but the lyrics are not. Even in the song Happy Ending, although the title of the song sounds joyful, "no love no joy no glory" explains the gloominess of the lyrics.
Grace Kelly is a song Mika wrote out of frustration over the record company who agreed to sign the contract only when Mika did more R n B.
In Love Today, Mika is desperate for love quoting "love love me".
The reason I like Mika so much is that despite his success, gay music, and super-optimism there's a sadness behind his eyes so deep that shows the 24years of his flamboyant life.
