Whoever doesn't like this should keep their opinion to theirself, although this isn't a style of music I like. Genre wise I listen to much different music, but the quality of singing live in comparison to an in-studio recording - he is absolutely brilliant!
Would love to have heard a bit more of Freelove freeway though, such a good song despite the simplistic lyrics.
@anotherLLAMA ...what? Really...? You think I'm trying to impress you?? Hahahaha... come on, man... You know who Ben Harper, Cake, Mars Volta, and Tool are, don't you? Those are great artists around today that I enjoy, so it's not like I'm not "open to new stuff".... My favorites just happen to be the masters who were around years ago; they're also my favorite musical teachers. And as much as you're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine, and my opinion is that this is not "good music".
Brent: "I ain't goin' home, because Frank Zappa's gone..." Gareth: "--he's dead!" Brent: "He's not dead." *** Brent: "I said 'then why the tears?', he said 'cause none of them was you...'" Tim: "What, Bob Marley?" Brent: "No 'e's lookin' at a picture." Tim: "Of Bob Marley?" Brent: "No, of Miles Davis." Tim: "Sorry, it sounded a bit gay." Brent: "It's not gay...Free love on the freelove free way!"
Mika sucks. The very fact that this song sounds exactly the same as a song made up purely for homour proves that he sucks uncoditionally. Leave the music biz mika we don't need you...at all
@ediblehatred People like you annoy me. There are probably so many songs with the same chord progression that Mika used in We are Golden, it's a simple I - VI - vi - V.
It's really bad that you come on here saying he sucks and should quit because of such a weak and idiodic reason like that. If you don't like it, that is your opinion but you don't have to be horrible about it.
Seriously, what you said makes you look like you have the IQ of a brick. Learn to spell too..
@tailsthefox241194 Obviously you are very clever and have some minor knowledge of musical theory. Congrats.
I'm not denying that simple progressions always make bad songs -they don't, just look at many of the Beatles hits.
My point is that this is such a god-awful-cheesy-pop-load-of-dull-rubbish that any idiot could make it up in a very short space of time, and the fact the that it syncs up to Ricky's song is just perfect. If you like this music then your IQ is probably less than mine : )
@ediblehatred simple progressions and bad songs?? look at the biggest hits in history, the most famous folk songs etc, and its almost always 3 chords, 4 or 5 at the most. An F#m13sus9 just doesnt connect with everyone!
Damn it.... now I have to live my life knowing that there's some fucker out there called Mika doing shitty music. 'Cause we didn't have enough of the NKOTB, Backstreet Boys and Michael Bolton's of the past.... we needed Mika......
I feel sorry for anyone who likes this garbage. I do, I really do. Why? 'Cause I like REAL MUSICIANS, ya know, like Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Bob Marley....
@TheRealDerfMan Sadly I don't think Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa or Bob Marley will be performing on Jonathan Ross any time soon because they're, you know...DEAD! I love me some Bob Marley but it's not 1980 anymore.
@LondonEmber ...oh, really? They're dead?? And, it's not 1980 anymore???? Why, I did not know any of this! Thank you!
I don't get it; so, once a musician dies, he's no longer worth your time? Or, because one is alive to perform, he's a better musician than those who have passed on?
I hope you live to be 100 y.o., just so that you can witness for yourself that folks will still be listening to Marley, Zappa, Davis and Hendrix, and Mika will not be mentioned or remembered. Mika is total pop-crap.
@zak110695 ....ooooohh, some Bieber wanna be zombie wants to punch me in the face...!! Hahahahahaha!!!! Go learn how to play an instrument, kid.......!
@ogfunk187 Pop music is promoted through placement on light entertainment shows through industry ties. Its a tightly connected industry and Johnathan Ross or Chris Moyles has no choice in the playlist or performer put in front of them. The best producers polish the turds and its put in front of the British TV viewing public to give connected musician vehicles a step into money making before pushing into Europe. This happens in the UK more than anywhere else as the system is long established.
@lon3lybutt3rfly I'm totally agree... But there's something I don't like about this live performance... The guitar sounds too loud, so we cannot appreciate Mika's perfect voice.
