addie just got back from germany this morning and we spent a very short time catching up earlier tonight. while we were talking, he played his new cd acquisition and i was immediately drawn to the rhythm of the song that he played. british music! oh, how i love british music!!! and so i was introduced to the music of mika (mica penniman) – a lebanese-american singer with a vocal range of five octaves, who is now very popular in the uk and some other countries in europe. his album was recently released in the us and according to chrissy, apparently perez hilton loves him. hehehe!

the following is a video of his live performance at taranta 2007 where he sang grace kelly, the song that made him big in the uk. gosh, he’s so gay! for that, i love him na talaga! hahaha!



and here's the lyrics. love it talaga! =)

do i attract you?
do i repulse you with my queasy smile?
am i too dirty?
am i too flirty?
do i like what you like?

i could be wholesome
i could be loathsome
guess i'm a little bit shy
why don't you like me?
why don't you like me without making me try?

refrain:
i tried to be like grace kelly
but all her looks were too sad
so i tried a little freddie
i've gone identity mad!

chorus:
i could be brown
i could be blue
i could be violet sky
i could be hurtful
i could be purple
i could be anything you like
gotta be green
gotta be mean
gotta be everything more
why don't you like me?
why don't you like me?
why don't you walk out the door!

[getting angry doesn't solve anything.]

how can i help ya
how can i help it
how can i help what you think?
hello my baby
hello my baby
putting my life on a brink

why don't you like me
why don't you like me
why don't you like yourself?
should i bend over?
should i look older just to be put on your shelf?

(refrain)

(chorus)

say what you want to satisfy yourself
hey!
but you only want what everybody else says you should want
you want

(chorus 2x)

oooh, oooh!
