Yes, but their accent and vocal ranges couldn't be more different.

but that doesn't matter if the harmonies and vocal colour/timbre are both similar. it's enough to make
comparisons

Just because they're both influenced by Freddy doesn't make them similar

i know, thats why i said they're similar because of their vocal timbre and tone colour, as well as the harmonies, which are extraordinarily reminiscent of those of queen.

I still can't see it. Mika's much more of a falsetto singer. And his tone colour is far brighter - christ, LISTEN to Grace Kelly.

Yeah the technique is pretty different. I mean Mercury was highly unorthodox in the way he sang. He actually sang "incorrectly." When Mika sings in chest voice, he can sound extraordinarily similar to Freddie, but using falsetto he's pretty different, agreed.
Also his phrasing is nearly identical to mercury's in many parts

I was hoping to be greeted by some tremendously flamboyant/awful album cover one again.


the art for this is almost exactly the same as that for his first, so you wont be dissapointed.

Good review, I don't mind it in small doses. It's nothing great, but it's an alright listen every now and again.
