Did you know???
"Love Today" is his third, not second, single from his debut album Life in Cartoon Motion. The first is "Relax, Take It Easy" which failed chart on the original release in the UK; however, the song has become a huge hit in Poland where it reached #1 on the official Polish Airplay Chart.
Mika has a vocal range of five octaves.
His sister Yasmine, who works as an artist under the nom de plume Dawack, painted the cartoon art for his album Life in Cartoon Motion.
He was trained by a Russian opera professional hired by his mother to break up the torpor of being at home all day because his mother pulled him out of school at the age of 11 due to his dyslexia condition which deteriorated into what he calls "a little breakdown", and it took seven months to find another that would accept him.
Mika and his sister started to create all the characters for his songs about a year before he made his record. "Even after I got signed, the record company thought I was insane because I was just sitting there drawing characters saying, 'This is what the album's gonna look like'. They were like, 'You haven't chosen a producer yet.' And I was saying, 'It doesn't matter'."
He wrote Grace Kelly -- "a screw-you" to a music company that wanted him to be a little more of the smouldering singer-songwriter du jour and attached the typewritten lyrics — "Should I bend over?/ Should I look older, just to be put on the shelf?" — to a demo of the song and sent it to the executive who had turned him away.

Travis - Closer music video
Travis are a Scottish indie rock band from Glasgow, comprising Fran Healy (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Dougie Payne (bass, backing vocals, occasional lead vocals), Andy Dunlop (lead guitar, banjo, keyboards, backing vocals) and Neil Primrose (drums, percussion). Travis have twice been awarded British album of the year at the annual BRIT Awards, and are generally considered to have been the first of the post-Britpop 'soft rock' guitar bands of the late-1990s, having influenced bands such as Embrace, Coldplay, Keane, Athlete and Snow Patrol.
The song's promotional video features the band as clerks in a supermarket with Healy as the mascot. When fed up with his job, he goes inside and starts singing on the speaker system. Payne, who was working at the register completely bored, takes out his bass and Dunlop and Primrose are dancing with the customers. When their boss, Ben Stiller, friend of the band, in a cameo, hears music, he tries to find out where it comes from but it stops as soon as he looks out of his office. The video ends with the band leaving the supermarket together.

| | The Fray - How to Save a Life - 265 sec
"How to Save a Life" is an alternative rock song by Colorado-based rock band The Fray. It is the title track from their debut album. It was the follow-up single to the top 10 hit "Over My Head (Cable Car)" and peaked in the top 3 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. The song has sold over 1,000,000 downloads, and has been certified Platinum by the RIAA. It is the band's highest-charting song to date, topping the Adult Top 40 chart for 15 consecutive weeks and topping the Canadian Airplay Chart.
According to lead singer and songwriter Isaac Slade, the song was composed and influenced by his experience while working as a mentor at a camp for troubled teens: "One of the kids I was paired up with was a musician. Here I was, a protected suburbanite, and he was just 17 and had all these problems. And no one could write a manual on how to save him."
Slade claims that the song is about all of the people that tried to reach out to the boy but were unsuccessful. As Slade says in an interview, his friends and family approached him by saying, "Quit [the problem behavior] or I won't talk to you again," but all he needed was some support.
The verses of the song describe an attempt by an adult to confront a troubled teen. In the chorus, the singer laments that he himself was unable to save a friend because he did not know how.
