Terrible version of Mika’s Grace Kelly
To prove my point about how cover versions of songs originally sung in falsetto just can’t be better than the originals, see this version of Grace Kelly by the brilliant Mika being butchered by some guy named Pierre. Who? God knows…just some French singer. You gotta leave them falsetto songs alone.
And just who is Mika? From his official fansite, “Born in Beirut in the middle of the 80s, Mika’s family soon found themselves having to move to Paris at the height of the war. When his father was subsequently taken hostage and held at the American embassy in Kuwait the family eventually settled in London.”
Listen to the fantastic original version by Mika if you haven’t already.

And his second brilliant follow up single Love Today that’s just as fantastic.
