Oxegen 2007
Mika

Describe In Three Words: Surprisingly impressive. Gay.

Remarkable Moment: ATL never intended to catch Mika, we all think we're far too cool for that. It soon transpires our snobbery is ridiculous. When he plays 'Grace Kelly', everyone singes along. Possibly even bands on the other stages. A remarkable moment, if ever this festival has seen one. And despite rumours to the contrary, Mika is an incredible singer without that studio trickery. He even pulls of 'I Want You Back' as good as an 8 year old Jacko, and that flamboyant backing band and huge inflatable lady combo onstage help a couple of thousand punters have a great deal of fun. Yes readers, fun. It's nothing to be ashamed of, you know.

Crowd Reaction: You can't really fail when covering the Jackson 5, but still, Mika gets the biggest reaction of the day so far.

Oxegen Rating Out Of Ten: 8
