Wiretap: Mika

Speaking of glammy songsters, we suppose we should make the obligatory Mika post. Yes, the Brit popster is supposedly the greatest thing since [insert your own useless cliche here], Queen and the Scissor Sisters all wrapped into one. Well, we've watched the clip of his song "Grace Kelly" and color us unimpressed. We're on team "who gives a fuck." Listen, we love Rufus, the Sisters, Queen, etc, but something about Mika smells disingenuous. We have a pretty good bullshit detector, and on this trilling songbird we call foul. To be honest, we've seen more engaging acts at the open mic night at the Duplex.

Thus, the music bloggy debate rages. Brooklyn Vegan sides with us. Arjan Writes is tots pro Mika. And The Music Slut just wants to know if the dude is a homo or not.

We've said our piece, but we reserve the right to change our mind. For now, we're just going to put on a Cole Porter CD and call it a day.
