Mika - 'Grace Kelly'

Post categories:

Fraser McAlpine | 09:35 UK time, Sunday, 28 January 2007

What? It's out on Monday! And between you and me, I think it might just be a hit, with a bit of luck...

Anyway, LOOK! It's the Jools Holland performance! Fancy!

Before we start, I think it鈥檚 safe to say that the theme for today will be colours.

MikaNow that鈥檚 settled, WHY didn鈥檛 anyone think of this before? Darius was sort of getting there with the whole 鈥楥olourblind鈥 motif he had going on. But he decided to go down the meaningful, sentimental, slushy road. Which is nice, but doesn鈥檛 quite match the reaction of a colourful explosion like this is receiving.

This is simply THE victory march song of the moment really, isn鈥檛 it? With bright vocals as wide in range as a Dulux catalogue, and a build of camp 鈥渕尘鈥 and 鈥渁丑鈥 flounces, with a larger than life, bouncy chorus which goes up REALLYREALLY high, you can understand why.

In fact, you can almost picture Mika screaming 鈥淚 am fabulous, all hail me!鈥 in a gorgeous technicoloured vision at all times of the day and night, which must be tiring.

BUT, the problem with making such a big fat statement like that is you鈥檙e going to prompt some contrasting reactions. Some people will refuse to hail this self-proclaimed master of rainbows and make some pretty colourful, but darn rude gestures at the guy, whereas others will go get their Mika flag out and start waving crazily, demanding more flamboyance in their pop...and SOON, PLEASE.

Personally, I think I鈥檇 be one of the crazy people waving a flag, but all the while knowing this song and it's joyous vibrancy will probably get overplayed to the point where everyone may prefer to do something less friendly with the poles after a while鈥
