Finally a successor to the throne! Mika. So what

It is an understatement far as to say that fans of the British waiting tables cult rock band Queen for several years on a successor to the legendary Freddie Mercury. The former died in 1991. Now - it's the year 2007 - seems to finally be born a musician who is to follow in the footsteps of this genius is able to Mika. Be released in late March first album "Life in Cartoon Motion" sounds damned not only by Queen - Mika and even poses as a secret admirer and imitator Freddie Mercury's seen.
If, however, believes the international fan base and lead singer of Queen Mercury Mika violations due to bad covers in the classic musical genius hell, wrong. Because its up to that time probably the biggest admirer Mika has found just in Queen guitarist Brian May. May, now 59 years old, was staying at the success story of the British band ever to Freddie Mercury's side, was a founding member and creative head of Queen. Besides "We will rock you" composed with his immortal solo guitar He among other titles like "The show must go on" and thus contributed significantly to world fame in 1970 when the band formed.

Brian May hit the headlines when he publicly earlier this year a young English journalist insulted, writing for the major daily newspaper "The Guardian" record reviews. Because of this Mika's first album was rated as "mediocre", accusing him old rocker May as a "casual, pimply wanker" who have no idea about music.
praise, this is represented by almost all other music magazines of the world as well as sizes of the music business as Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens), or Sir Elton John. Even as I

enthusiastic young listeners prefer admired Queen Mika-horror before the hat. Not because I'm afraid personally by Brian May as a diminutive, long-haired Sitzpisser being labeled, but quite simply because "Life in Cartoon Motion" a brilliant, harmonious, moving and thought-out album is that you can use this formula to today's music market is not the second time.
Mika grew up in rather modest circumstances in Beirut after a few detours and ended up in London. Now he is half American, half Lebanese and living in England. He was confronted with the singing at the tender age of nine. Back then he was change from many moving, school changes and language so confused that he joy had lost at the speeches. But the singing made him even more fun. Therefore, concerned mom, a Russian opera singer as a teacher for her son. According to Mika a "strict dictator with huge breasts." But he has learned everything from her.

Now Mika has released his first album, floating on a wave of success. Fortunately, I can stress that he long for his triumph - has worked, and it therefore deserves honest - he himself speaks of "years". He has written all the songs on his CD and composed himself, he drew the album cover itself, all cast sings and has every instrument (the piano on the electric guitar to the violin) recorded by hand. Mika a 5-octave vocal range, Mika is a genius, a miracle child - and a just and splendid successor to a legend like Freddie Mercury.
Another English journalist (one who like the more likely Brian May) has put it, "Come up to the throne, Mika, it's done!" On that note: Good luck on your journey. Thank you for the long-awaited, wonderful music.
