I myself don't judge music from sales. But there's no point in denying that it has something to say. If you don't get out of your basement rehearsal room after some time, and don't get connected with people, you will get fed up with your project.
And back to Mika.
You say:
"sure he is better than britney spears, what im saying is that he is an amateur and highly overrated and can in NO WAY be compared to my band OR Queen."
- Mika creates his own music, he is very involved in staging his videos, he is in control of his own career in many ways. That's rare, and not amateuristic.
- Hehe... "can in NO WAY be compared to my band OR Queen." Mika has done nothing to be compared with Queen. It's the critics and media that draws those parallels. Surely he namechecks Freddie on Grace Kelly, but that is homage, and just that.
And for the best part.
I have listened to your band Treasure Moment. What a blast. I wont say that i'm a very "schooled" musician although I have played in three bands during the last 10 years. Based on my background I would like to give a short review on your music.
Treasure Moment - Is this a treasure(d) moment?
- First and foremost, Treasure Moment sound like a bad hybridal copy of Dream Theater and Rhapsody. If you are searching for originality, you have come to the wrong place. A lot of the singing is off-pitch, and lacks the dynamics, timber, strength and stability of the beforementioned bands. Yes, they are probably ambitious, but they have a long way to go. Why? The production is basically not good, and the writing material is not very interesting at the moment. Music is about communication, this doesn't communicate too much to me.
- Ok, this is based on what I heard on myspace.com. I do wish you good luck (not ironic)

yeah whatever, you are impressed with mikas simpistic amateur songwriting and bash ours.....
dream theater? rhapsody? you obviously dont know shit about songwriting, we are nothing like either of those, we combine classical music with metal in a way i havent heard any other band do and its all original songs and i could care less what you think.
Its just a demo so of course its not the best production but who cares? its about the quality of the songs! if it doesnt comminucate with you then it doesnt, its not made for you, simple as that and you cant understand it.

Don't bother with this guy. It's worse than arguing with a Christian fundamentalist.

Well, looks like this thread is no longer about Mika's performance of Killer Queen!
TM spoke of Mika's "simplistic songwriting".
It requires true skill to write a simple yet good song.

Only you can write that, because it's your composition - and the same goes for his. He writes from his creativity and you write from yours. Whether or not someone thinks one composition is better than another is a matter of opinion.
