Advantages: Grace Kelly is fab

Disadvantages: Some poor lyrics on other tracks

For fans of Euro pop who like their music as camp as it gets then Mika is right up your street, personally I like him because he really does put on a great live act, more show than concert and especially when I'm in a girly mood to just sing and dance around the house in the all together then Life in Cartoon Motion is a great album.

The only problem with this album is that all the quality is pretty much jammed into the start of the album with the superb Grace Kelly leading the way. The other two singles Lollipo and the highly repetitive but very addictive Love Today follow son on only seperated by the rather average My Interpretation.

Mika has a very high pitched falsetto voice which can reach lots of high notes but he can also add a bit of depth to his voice which has a pretty good range to it. The musical style is out and out pop music. The real downside for me though is that after a while the voice begins to merge into each track and there are some quite average lyrics to go with his dance beats, I Do is an example of this and sounds a mess.

I paid £6.99 for my copy from Play.com about two months ago.
