Petra Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Another short article from the German Popcorn: The secret SUPERSTARS No headlines, no celebrity-hype, no fan-hysteria (haha ) but they are megastars in pop-business! Acts like Mika (not sure about this guy's name, though seems like the name is secret, too), James Blunt or Scooter produce hit after hit (Scooter???) and even sell more CDs than Tokio Hotel! (unbelievable but true) Popcorn introduces the secret popstars to you. Mika - England's new cultstar! (not sure about the last word) Bio: Michael (I hate German magazines) Holbrook Penniman (born August 18th, 1983) came as a refugee from Lebanon to Paris and then later to London. Being dyslexic, he was mobbed at school and thus got a private teacher at the age of 9. Carreer: At the age of 15, Mika performed as a solo artist in an opera and exhiliarated (?) the audience with his falsetto-voice. He wrote his own songs and dreamt of a life as a popstar. Being rejected by record companies, he wrote the song "Grace Kelly" (ah! so I fínally get to know WHY he wrote Grace Kelly! ) which finally helped him to his breakthrough in whole Europe. In England, Mika has taken Robbie Williams' place as the number one pop artist. Successes: Mika has had three hits in Germany so far and his album "Life in Cartoon Motion" got on rank 6 in the charts! Mika has cut his curly hair and has a short haircut now (???) His next single "Happy ending" is released on the 7th of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
