It's the Wednesday mini dance par-TAY!

It's MIKA's "Grace Kelly (bimbo Jones remix)" have a listen while you view the blog (no real vid to watch--couldn't find this mix with a vid.) I saw MIKA here in DC a few years back on his first album (also Sara Bareilles was his opener--she was unknown at the time and sang her future smash "Love Song". After which, I turned to my friend and said "that's a going to be a hit." her song came out about 4 months after that--and it was.) But back to MIKA, he was much taller and bigger in person than you'd think. I know he looks gangly in all his vids but, he has a rather large frame/bone structure in person--like a basketball player. And he seemed so down to earth, genuine and goofy--he tripped over cables, almost spilled his water on his keyboard, his white jeans kept slipping down revealing neon orange briefs---he was a hoot. He and his whole band wore teddy bear costumes for the encore. Just cute. And really sweet when talking to the audience, sharing some stories and you could tell the people in his show had fun with him and teased him like friends do. And yes, he really could hit all those high notes---dogs were barking for miles around. :) I need to get his new album. Enjoy.
