      This song is about how the recording company's wanted him to sound like other artists. he was commonly likened to Freddy Mercury. Hence the i could be Freddy oooooo part of the song. but he does have a similar sound.

    He's NOT a Freddie imitator at all and doesn't try to be. He's got his own distinctive sound and yes, he's the only singer today who could even come close to doing justice to a Queen song. His spirit comes across as very Freddie-esque, a good heart. Adam Lambert can't hold a candle to Mika!

      see views on his vids and u ll see that he isn’t underrated. We don’t talk abt him bc it was 10 years ago

      @@traceman5686 well trace he still makes music to this day and yet no one seems to know that... so i think he is very underrated in fact!

    Mika, du bist so genial, nur sehen das nicht genug, du bist kein zweiter Freddie, den sie immer aus dir machen wollten, aber einen zweiten gibt es nicht, du wolltest auch kein zweiter sein, du wolltest für DICH geliebt werden, ich tue es, wer noch?
