I recently finished watching Series 4 of the Piano on Channel 4 and I can never get over how much I love Mika, both as a mentor but also as a singer and a public figure. He's so talented, funny, and handsome as well 😍

Love Mika! Boum Boum Boum is one of my You Tube faves. And Underwater.

Dear Jealousy is hands down his best song 👌

It's hard to choose a favourite but Origin of Love is up there.
I also love Happy Ending and Billy Brown.

I queued from 10.30am to be at the front in Leeds last year. I actually quite enjoyed the process, getting to chat to other fans etc.

Oh I was at that show.
I'd been at Holmes Chapel earlier that day, Harry Styles home village!

Was amazing wasn't it? That's my favourite Mika concert out of the 5 I've been to.

It's okay, you'll have other chances 😊

Yup, bought his first album when it came out, have loved him since. He's just great.

He's lovely. I adore Grace Kelly, I suspect DP does not love my attempts to sing along...

Sing along anyway! 😅It's hard not to.

He's fab. Saw him live last year- my daughter and her friend were beside themselves when he sang Billy Brown 😂 fave song of their childhoods.

I would love to hear that one live!

I've seen him every year for the last 4, all in different venues and I drove 11 hours in a day for him.
Totally worth it.

Amazing! I don't know if I could have that dedication but sometimes I wish I did.

My You Tube fave is Jane Birkin because I love the video, my fave song is probably Tomorrow!

I wish I'd followed his career back in the beginning, he's amazing.

I must say, it's so nice to hear people talking positively about Mika on here, rather than just complaining about his high singing or something 🙄

I didn't know there was a hate crowd. He seems lovely as a person, very encouraging to other musicians, and very talented. Nothing not to like.

Unfortunately there is, he gets put down a lot, on here and other places. Exactly, they don't know what they're missing, he's absolutely perfect to me 🥰

murasaki · 30/08/2026 18:08

Oh, I didn't know that. I wonder how much of that is because of where he's from. Shitty. He's very talented and seems like a lovely man.

CheeseWisely · 30/08/2026 18:10

I saw him live in Leeds, must be nearly 20 years ago now!

LLM21 · 30/08/2026 18:15

I saw him last month at the Eden Project- He was INCREDIBLE ! If you ever get a chance to see him live, do it! He is an amazing showman

Bonjovispjs · 29/08/2026 20:08

No, he's a singer and pianist. Remember the song Grace kelly from 2007? That was his biggest hit, he's had many amazing songs and albums since then though.

I loved grace Kelly ! Still makes me smile and sing along it's a happy song. Mikas a nice fella

That would never have crossed my mind 🤔 He's basically British though, even if he was born in Lebanon. He's very talented and very lovely, I've met him 6 times now.
