JUlie Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 On the traditionally indier-than-thou Other Stage, Mika bravely faced a constituency that regards him with mistrust and bludgeoned them with much-needed pop optimism. Gazing up at rainy skies, he insisted everyone help to stop the rain by copying his high-pitched “Hawaiian prayerâ€. For Love Today, he mounted his drummer’s bass drum like the Statue Of Liberty’s sexually undecided teenage brother and negotiated his multi-octave range like a speeding car on black ice and, yes, eventually embarrassed the rain into abating. Given that Mika enlisted two roly-poly female dancers in blue corsets, and several more other chums, to dress up as wild animals while brandishing huge letters that spelt “LOVEâ€, the least Pete Doherty could have done for the Babyshambles set was rehearse a bit.

RAK1 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I think the point they were making was that Mika made the effort to entertain the audience, the Hawaiian prayer was a hoot to do by the way, wereas Mr D, as usual, couldn't be bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Great!! The last bit is saying that Mika went to a lot of effort - which is more than 'some' did, so good for him. The review could have been a bit more praiseful but, nevermind - Well done Mika, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatagordinha Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Even if some will never like him or his music per se, I like to believe that he will eventually gain the respect of everyone in the industry - even the snobs -for his attitude, hard work, energy and enthusiasm. And one day it will be "cool" to like him. (NOT THAT HE CARES ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree wholeheartedly: love him or hate him, you have to respect him. Kind of like the childhood icon Marmite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkly1 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 yeah I thought it was an OK review, he deserved better but you can't please everybody all of the time and Mika knows that only too well, it won't stop him doing what he loves and wants to do he knows he has oodles of support in many other places and he will not have lost any fans at Glasto but I can bet you he will have made a fair few more and so that is a good thing..for Mika and crew anyway. well done Mika and co.
