For Mika

Just a few short weeks after David Marchese at Salon's Audiofile declared him the next big thing, Pitchfork hands the pop star's new album Life in Cartoon Motion a 1.5. Ouch. And Stylus had already given it a D-.

I tried my best to get interested in the single "Grace Kelly" but to no effect.

Sometimes the problem is not that your personal life will get in the way of stardom. It's that your total lack of talent will do it for you.
