I often hear that Mika's style is boring, but I definitely disagree. No matter how much I dislike her (or rather, her voice), I think there's nothing wrong with the songs in general. It's just that she has/had/will-forever-have/doesn't-have/didn't-have-before-either!* a terrible voice, in my opinion. If I recall correctly, it was the song STARS that made such an impression me back then. It's unbelievable how bad she's singing it, and it's downright incredible how anyone could seriously have considered releasing it (and, worse, actually did release it!). I'm sure her voice may have improved, but I'm not much of an expert on her developments lately. And I don't really feel the need to catch up either. Seriously, it's not like I'm traumatized (although STARS did, well, scar me); back when that second album (Love, right?) was released I actually considered buying it, since I hadn't heard it and the cover looked awesome. When I heard some songs though... *shivers*
* = choose whatever is appropriate
