Mika has five songs on his album with numerous other song writers contributing. Freddie didn't usually have that. "Grace Kelly" was written by him and three other song writers. It's a shame.
The only thing good about Mika is his singles are available as a 7", and a bad thing about him is that there's TONS of remixes of his singles. I love mixes, but he has too many.
I think today, there's too many pop artists, and not enough rock bands.
Mika is a pop SOLO artist. I want some rock bands to exhist. I don't mind older solo artists, but they were far better back then.
