Mika

Mica Penniman, alias Mika, est né en 1983 à Beirouth (Liban). Originaire du Liban par sa mère et des USA par son père, il fut élevè entre Paris et Londres. Son premier single, Relax, Take It Easy paraît uniquement sur Internet : le bouche-à-oreille fonctionne à merveille puisque le titre a atteint la 30ème place des charts en Suède. En 2007, il signe son premier album Life in Cartoon Motion en février 2007. Son single Grace Kelly lui permet de se hisser en tête des charts anglais en janvier et effectue une montée progressive dans le hitmachine pour occuper la 15e place cettre semaine : ce titre évoque la collision entre les Scissor Sisters, Queen et Elton John.
Pour ceux qui n'arrivent pas à saisir ses paroles voici le lyric de "Grace kelly".

I wanna talk to you
The last time we talked Mr. Smith you reduced me to tears
I promise you it wont happen again
Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie, mmm
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!
Getting angry doesn't solve anything

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie mmm
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want
you want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
walk out the door!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
walk out the door!
uuuuuua
Humphry were leaving
kerchinga!

Personnellement on n'aimait pas torp ce titre à la hitmachband mais à force d'écouter ça nous met de bonne humeur.Et puis la voix est sublime.
