i don't like his voice at all--it's too thin, too high, and doesn't convey the same warmth and emotions as Freddie's. I hope this will be the last Queen song he sings in public!

Uhg. No offense to Mika, but he should stick to his own material. I DID see the Mercury similarity, but this song just destroyed that for me. Not only does he FORGET THE DAMN WORDS, but he can't even get close to some of the notes freddie hits. His tonality is also very different, much more nasaly and in his head voice.
the "guy you like" is Freddie Mercury (arguably the most amazing male vocalist in recent history) and while Mika can really sing he just doesnt have the timing or timber that made Freddie really special, I'm afraid also that forgetting lyrics, no matter whos song you are performing live is pretty bad, especially when you are singing a classic from a band you idolized. You really have to give the guy credit though, singing anything by Freddie is one of the gutsiest things any singer can attempt.
@Smokinjoewhite he IS dyslexic though, and it's really hard to remember lyrics when you are dyslexic.. and if I am correct, he has a severe case.. Freddie is one of my favorite Male musicians also. (:
@Smokinjoewhite this comment pretty much summarizes the real life story behind "Grace Kelly" --- this was an impromptu performance, he isn't trying to ride on Freddie's coattails. I am a huge Queen fan, and even I didn't understand half the lyrics to Killer Queen until (strangely enough) I heard cover versions on the many "We Will Rock You" musical cast recordings.
Pobre Mika... Se puso Nervioso ¡¡¡¡ No debe ser nada facil cantar una cancion como esta¡¡¡¡ Y sobretodo cuando Lo Comparan con el Gran Freedy Mercury :S
"george michael has a totally different voice!", I agree with you, usually he does, however, when he sung Somebody to Love, he sounded a lot like Freddie. Even Roger Taylor stated "George Michael's wonderful performance and uncanny vocal resemblance to our much missed Freddie alone made this concert special. If anyone should know, he would!!
Perhaps the production of the show have been prevented this in any form, in order that Mika could sang this famous Queen song without problems. Do they asked for it in purpose???
Credo che freddie si rivolterebbe nella tomba a causa di quelli che criticano un ragazzo di 24 anni a cui piace cantare e che ha una bella voce senza 1)sapere chi è 2)sapere che non è stato lui a paragonarsi a freddie mercury ,ma i giornalisti.Infatti in un video spiega che gli scoccia moltissimo essere paragonato a freddie perchè lui lo considera un re! Lo ripeto freddie è freddie(un re) ma Mika è Mika e rimane comunque attualmente uno dei migliori cantanti della nuova generazione!
mika is shit!if he don´t kwows KillerQueen song then Why he sang it!En español esto se llama mentiroso,payaso,hipocrita,maricon mierdoso!q sea original,q encuentre su estilo!el puñeton tiene buena voz!
non canta come Lui, e si sapeva. ma fare il cretino sopra killer queen, inventare le parole, sbagliare gli accordi (gli unici accordi semplici e lineari tra le canzoni del primo periodo queen) e nascondere dietro un "c'est difficile" la propria mediocrità è vergognoso. senza contare la messa in scena (che qui non si vede) di "per piacere mika suonaci una canzone dei queen" come se non fosse stato tutto provato!! e la gente lo applaude. freddie è stato cremato, se no si rivolterebbe nella tomba.
Very interesting. Many people all over the world comparing Mikas voice with Freddie´s and indeed ´Grace Kelly´ is a very ´Queen -like´ song. Since both are singing up to the tenor and down to the bass-bariton, I don´t see why Mika shouldn´t be capable to sing Freddies songs nicely, if he only knows the lyrics.
hai ragionissima!!!!!!!!!! è un montato coglione frocio (anzi, checca, che è diverso! Gay lo era Freddie, ma ne era un "sublime" rappresentante; Frocio e KEKKA è mika)... peraltro sbaglia anche gli accordi... la grandezza artistica di Mika può essere paragonata alla consistenza di un palloncino di plastica. Viva Freddie e i Queen ke loro si ke sono e resteranno immortali!!
I'm kind of glad he hasn't. I don't know why. He's my favourite singer, but I think if he made another one, it wouldn't be as good. "Life In Cartoon Motion" was amazing
Real fans should know the words to this song better though xD ah well, he's a better singer then most of us can probably say, just not nearly as good as Freddie.
Mika is not gay he is bi

All three men have/had their own voice. The fact that they did similar types of attitude in their music makes them similar.
