I don’t think is that underrated. I mean is not that none in the us but in Europe is really big . He was on multiple shows and I think is still a judge on the voice France.
Never heard this song until eight years ago when my friend in college completely let his guard down and sang it, high notes and all. We're married now, it is literally how I remember this song that it was when I fell for him.
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.
@@tamraarmstrong1433 I can definately see that. He does have a similar sound and even looks a little like young Freddie, before the moustache. But yes, I can also understand him wanting to be see on his own merit instead of constantly being compared to others.
I literally danced to this walking to college it put me in that much of a good mood. Act felt i was on top of the world😂hit the replay button for 2 weeks straight. never felt like this over a song ffs😂
hes saying it like its part of the ingredients that make up himself :). "A little Freddie, a little of this a little of that" He really does sound like him. This song is a classic. Just popped into my head out of nowhere after like 10 years.

Holy moly. We are in the same era. I remember watching this song popped out on a television music chart. If i remember there is MCR and Fall out boys too. Lol good old days. And Im 28 years old now, older than Mika when he make this music video 😂
@@1sportsangel i was exactly 2 years old when this song came out🤣 didnt grew up in that era but the music back then was just amazing. Every weekend when we party this song plays and i just genuinely feel really happy 😂
Some of his songs were so beautiful I am in awe every time I listen to them. My dad always played them in the car (he had a cd) when I was 5-7 and then when I hit 8 years old I forgot about Mika but since 2 weeks ago I have become such a big fan of him again.

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!
Mika was *fantastic* as a host of Eurovision. Probably the best one there's ever been. There's something to be said for a fluent English speaker who can improv without being cringe, and still perform live.
Lmao they were all awful? Absolutely dreadful humour between them. Mika was great singing, should have just stuck to that. Presenting, they all just looked lost
Maybe I'm just reading into this a bit too much but around 1:20 he says so I try a bit of Freddie I've gone I've gone identity mad. Maybe this is him commenting on his style that he's a mish mash of all the best part of certain artists
I know this is a compliment, but the point of this whole song is about him being mad at people not recognizing him for his own self and constantly comparing/telling him to be like someone else
People saying this song is underrated are just not old enough to remember when it came out. It was literally number 1 in UK charts for over a month! I remember it repeatedly playing on Mtv the year of its release, you'd hear it in popular stores and on the radio. I almost got sick of this song... it has been far from underrated!
Well...at 72, I think I'm definitely old enough...never heard it before. Of course outside of Europe (yes Virginia, ... there are other countries besides U.S.A. and Britain) I barely even made any top 100 lists.
@@brianbenoit6883 just because it was not popular in your corner if the world, doesn't mean the song is underrated. That's my point, this is a popular and well known song, it's just unknown to some due to their age, or like your self, your location. It would be like saying Elvis was underrated just because he's unknown to the Ikarians, despite the fact he had major success else where.

Proberly like me, I watched the Voice on TH-cam, and it was a video where the celebs pranked the voice judges, and the singer for this song was the one on stage and it got stuck in my head.
Hello m'lady are you interested in a young stallion like myself? I like watching Netflix and going for long beachwalks. If you are interested you can email me. qwerty076@gmail.com if you are interested ;)
I worked in the cleaning staff on one of the latest concerts Mika gave. I got to meet him briefly and he was the sweetest, he asked me how i was doing and told me that he loved my city, truly a gifted and gentle soul!
I actually spent years searching for this, I remember I was like 6-8 years old and listened to this on the radio and I've always wondered what this song was named, I had forgot all the lyrics and everything besides the melody, but finally after like 8-10 years, I can listen to this again. The nostalgia holy..
I used to see MIKA’s videos in every party my parents took me to when I was a kid, he was everywhere. The girl of this video looks a lot like a girl I liked back then 😂 found the song by chance some years ago.
I want to Specially appreciate you for being a big fan. 🎶Thanks for your nice comment on my post, it means a lot to me. I want you to send me a direct message via hangouts using my personal email: mikaofficialm@gmail.com, or send your WhatsApp mobile number
The fact that Mika hosted Eurovision in 2022 and now Mae Muller (the little girl in the green dress) is representing UK in Eurovision 2023 is so wholesome to me ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The last time I listened to this song was minutes ago. I promise it will happen again. Funnest most positive song for me in 2024. Soo goood and soo much fun!
@@esilae333 yes but not much, he only has a dozen millions of views on most of his popular songs, with some exceptions like popular song with ariana grande. He should have hundreds of millions of views on most of his songs but he doesn't
never heard it before. this is my first time hearing it. i did wonder what the f ryan and will were singing, tho. :) (PS: this dude reminds me of freddie mercury)
In Europe you could hear this song really everywhere when it came out, Mika is very famous here (especially in Italy, he hosted also some of our tv shows)
I agree to a point. Mika's timbre is a bit more rich and loud than Freddie Mercury's, but there are parts where the style is very similar. 1:47 - 2:10 sounds very similar to Freddie Mercury and Queen's overall style.
Mika with Grace Kelly meaning beautiful memories with my children. With my little kids I used to listen grace Kelly and dancing. Now they have grown up but this song didn’t. ❤
It's weird to think there's an entire generation that never heard this song on the radio, but just discovered it through TikTok and Ryan Reynolds' video. Back in 2006/2007, this song was HUGE and in every station's heavy rotation. Mika had a bunch of major hits in the following years, but "Relax" and "Grace Kelly" are probably his most remembered productions!
it peaked at #57 on the billboard charts and was around for 13 weeks. Hardly what you could call "HUGE" - barely any stations were playing this song lol.
NightLove i knowwww i was so excited! besides infinite and lovelyz mika is my favourite artist, its a combination of my favourite things and its nice to know my favourite people still listen to this song even today:,)
The fact that there are people out there who didn't even know this song existed before Ryan Reynolds covered it makes me feel so, so, so old. I was 17 when this came out, it was such a hit! We always heard it when we went out.
I think I've heard this before but it wasn't fully in my mind and like something I knew until I looked it up again because of the cover and it blowing up on tiktok.
I really love this song. It kinda describes a part of being a teenager. We're all so concerned about who likes us and who doesn't. We change ourselves to fit other peoples liking. We're all a bit fake. We act how we think people will like us best and if people don't like it we change and we're constantly changing to fit in. We just want everyone to like us. That probably made no sense but I just love this song.
I can’t really explain why, but this song and video helped pull me out of a dark place when it came out. It’s so joyful and raucous and it came at a time when I really needed it. Forever grateful.
I never thought I'd cry when I saw him singing this on Eurovision, but I did. And here I am, looping this most fascinating song again and again, like what I did when it first came out.

Anyone who has had to be the tenor in any choral setting (myself included: 6th chair tenor out of 50 in the Arizona High School All-State Choir. Ended up chosing orchestra as the bass bone) has had to inevitably do the transition between chest and falsetto. Still, this guy seems to have nailed down AND pressure sealed. Great performance!
@@yo-kw9mm Thnx. I also made the choir my sophomore year, which was also the year I got diagnosed with cancer. Against all medical advice, I still managed to fly down from Vegas to Tucson (State was being hosted by U of A) to perform. Visiting director (who was also Director of Choirs at University of Washington) was so impressed, the guy literally called me his hero...and I do mean literally; those were his exact words. Eh, all thar shit was cool, but I don't wanna be that guy who's still stuck in the past. High school was at least pretty great for me, but dwelling on past glory is something that should be at least saved for resumea.

My favorite part of this song is the annunciation of “ violet “ sky , The way he spaces it out too “ vi -ol - et each syllable getting higher pitch just really is a great touch to get the song going on a upbeat tone that I don’t think gets enough credit.
I used to stay up all night during highschool having mental breakdowns and I remember sitting on my bed with no sheets miserable but then this song would come on when the sun came out each day and it would make me so happy, it was on mtv video wake up and everytime it came on I would just immediately feel better and it still makes me feel the same 10 years later.
Scott Hoying is about to send everyone back here to listen to this after all these years ! Should have been here all along! Think this is on every playlist i have 💛
Unique song, unique artist. There's no one like him. Some people like to call him a rip-off Freddie but he is special on his own, an amazing performer with tons of bangers

first time I heard this song was 9 years ago, I was 8 and loved the song so much, but didn't know the name or the singer, and had never heard of youtube or about music stations on the radio. 4 years later I did hear it on the radio, and another 4 years later I heard a tiny part of the song in a tv commercial that said it was by Mika. I finally found the song and it is absolutely amazing!! This is the happiest I've been in months! :D
+Luca Graveland I first heard it at my 9th birthday party and I remember how me and all my friends started trying singing along (having no clue on the words we sounded so stupid) and then when it finished had the like party person incharge to put it on like (I think) 37 times before we would let her change it this was literally the best birthday I had and I can just rember about 25 nine year olds screaming along to this song "WHY DONT YOU IEK ME" such a good memory
such a great story! but coludn't you search about the lyrics? I just have known Mika for two years and I feel like "you wasted your life without lestining to him" 😭❤️
+Istabraq Ruhaily I didn't know any english words back then because the only language I knew was dutch. So I had no idea what any of the words meant :P

If Freddie was alive today, this would be his favourite song.
Beautiful song........so much Queen infulence.... he's singing style also similarities with Freddie
Maybe I'm just reading into this a bit too much but around 1:20 he says
so I try a bit of Freddie I've gone I've gone identity mad.
Maybe this is him commenting on his style that he's a mish mash of all the best part of certain artists

Think he means Fred Astaire though.
Haven't heard this song for several years, and for some reason it got stuck in my head today.
And mine today!
I'm listening during the ad break watching The Piano when he said he's in tour
Proberly like me, I watched the Voice on TH-cam, and it was a video where the celebs pranked the voice judges, and the singer for this song was the one on stage and it got stuck in my head.
Same happened to me today
This guy could have been so more successfull
He deserved
He has a new album coming out!
@@jadamathews4984 It's already out
He's enormously successful though.
Dude hes on the voice chill
Is he dead?
Just found this song after seeing Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrel's video...and boy am I glad I did! :D
Such a joyous vibe!! Love it
me too lol

Hello m'lady are you interested in a young stallion like myself? I like watching Netflix and going for long beachwalks. If you are interested you can email me. qwerty076@gmail.com if you are interested ;)
mlgdragonfister shut the fuck up lmao
+Deep Jabz Haha, I think he's joking.
no
Kaya Rose omg ikr!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😙😙😙 pity he's gay though!
I worked in the cleaning staff on one of the latest concerts Mika gave. I got to meet him briefly and he was the sweetest, he asked me how i was doing and told me that he loved my city, truly a gifted and gentle soul!
I actually spent years searching for this, I remember I was like 6-8 years old and listened to this on the radio and I've always wondered what this song was named, I had forgot all the lyrics and everything besides the melody, but finally after like 8-10 years, I can listen to this again. The nostalgia holy..
I was watching a MTV show - 'The Best Songs Never to make #1' or something, and this was one of the three I saw
Its the Worst feeling when you now the melody but not the name or the lyrics
@@ClassicTor yup
I used to see MIKA’s videos in every party my parents took me to when I was a kid, he was everywhere. The girl of this video looks a lot like a girl I liked back then 😂 found the song by chance some years ago.

Preach
He is
Not really he’s really famous in France
Misa Cookie AMEN
@@Sarah-hu3qf Unfor
unfortunately, he's practically unknown in the US.😥
They are not giving this song enough credit on TH-cam! This song was played every five minutes back in 2006 on MTV in the am!!! Really BIG hit!

I remember listening every day to this song when I was 5 years and sing it omg that song was my childhood
I want to Specially appreciate you for being a big fan. 🎶Thanks for your nice comment on my post, it means a lot to me. I want you to send me a direct message via hangouts using my personal email: mikaofficialm@gmail.com, or send your WhatsApp mobile number

The fact that Mika hosted Eurovision in 2022 and now Mae Muller (the little girl in the green dress) is representing UK in Eurovision 2023 is so wholesome to me ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
well said amiga.
Omg is that really Mae Muller singing with Mika there.
Mae Muller's Eurovision song wasn't really anything special.
@@seguuro Well, it was the only one people will sing along to: ALL the others were various forms of dross.
I read hosted as hated and was very confused for a second
The last time I listened to this song was minutes ago. I promise it will happen again. Funnest most positive song for me in 2024. Soo goood and soo much fun!
MIKA is literally so underrated and it’s so sad because THIS IS PURE TALENT
LITERALLY
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

Honestly, the fact that Mika isnt more popular when they've got songs like this is shocking
He's a judge on The Voice France!

Mika is p popular worldwide tbf. He was in the past at least, now he's more like just popular as in widely known.

Not Heard This TUNE In Many Years,I Love This Tune Frequencies Vibrations ⭐🌟✨💯🎉❤😮
Stop calling this underrated kids, this song was literally playing everywhere in the entire freaking world for months when it came out
exactly
never heard it before. this is my first time hearing it. i did wonder what the f ryan and will were singing, tho. :) (PS: this dude reminds me of freddie mercury)
@@vampiresquid I have to agree, I've never heard of this before Ryan and Will did their version.
From US and first time hearing song also.
In Europe you could hear this song really everywhere when it came out, Mika is very famous here (especially in Italy, he hosted also some of our tv shows)
It's incredibly Freddie-Mercurian, this song. Every part of it. Unbelievable.
That's what I was thinking!! I thought I was the only one 😂
This popped up on my Spotify and I sincerely thought I was listening to a Queen song - absolutely incredible
Makes you a little Mercurious huh
He says he tried to be like Grace Kelly but it didn't work so he tried some Freddie
And a little bit of Rossini to boot.
Seriously sounds like a modern version Freddie Mercury! Honestly props to the singer!
To the untrained ear maybe…
I agree to a point. Mika's timbre is a bit more rich and loud than Freddie Mercury's, but there are parts where the style is very similar. 1:47 - 2:10 sounds very similar to Freddie Mercury and Queen's overall style.
I played this song for my daughters who are in their early 30s & they said it sounded like Freddy Mercury.
a MODERN Freddie Mercury? What does that even mean? Is Freddie Mercury's voice ancient or old-timey or like a relic? LOL For fuc*k's sake.....
why are people so angry at this?🤣 Honestly the ability some people have to get mad at almost anything they see for no reason at all is so fascinating.
Mika with Grace Kelly meaning beautiful memories with my children. With my little kids I used to listen grace Kelly and dancing. Now they have grown up but this song didn’t. ❤
It's weird to think there's an entire generation that never heard this song on the radio, but just discovered it through TikTok and Ryan Reynolds' video. Back in 2006/2007, this song was HUGE and in every station's heavy rotation. Mika had a bunch of major hits in the following years, but "Relax" and "Grace Kelly" are probably his most remembered productions!
I think that may have been centered on radio stations aimed at white audiences. I am 27 and have only heard it today.
In the United States? I have never heard this song in my life.
Love today and happy ending were hot shit here where I'm from
@@kaeliheartsmakeup No, not in the United States. I'm from Europe (Austria to be exact), and that song was huge here.
it peaked at #57 on the billboard charts and was around for 13 weeks. Hardly what you could call "HUGE" - barely any stations were playing this song lol.
the proudest moment of my life was when i was so drunk i didnt know what i was doing, but i still managed to recite this whole song word for word
+IxiaClover Hey, this is random and I don't know who you are, but Lovelyz Jisoo just said on the radio that this is one of the songs she likes.
NightLove i knowwww i was so excited! besides infinite and lovelyz mika is my favourite artist, its a combination of my favourite things and its nice to know my favourite people still listen to this song even today:,)
thats pretty impressive
that's... sad
+your mom And you must be enormous fun at parties.
The fact that there are people out there who didn't even know this song existed before Ryan Reynolds covered it makes me feel so, so, so old. I was 17 when this came out, it was such a hit! We always heard it when we went out.
I was 5
Who is ryan
I think I've heard this before but it wasn't fully in my mind and like something I knew until I looked it up again because of the cover and it blowing up on tiktok.
i know ughh this song was so overplayed back in the day haha
I have never heard this song before and I was 28 when it came out. Good song though.
listening to this still makes me happy, glad I remembered this album.
Thanks Mika!!
I really love this song. It kinda describes a part of being a teenager. We're all so concerned about who likes us and who doesn't. We change ourselves to fit other peoples liking. We're all a bit fake. We act how we think people will like us best and if people don't like it we change and we're constantly changing to fit in. We just want everyone to like us. That probably made no sense but I just love this song.
I agree so much.
true
Awesome to see a clique member here!
Nicole Petzer |-/ yay!! stay alive fren !
its also how you discover who you are.
Underrated? This song was a massive hit back in the day, playing everyday on radios all over the world
I think in Europe but I don't know in USA.
I’m from the states and I have never heard this song until TikTok.
I'm from the states and I totally knew it.
Right??? I remember hearing
this all the time as a kid and now its blown up its unlocked some repressed part in my brain
It was on radio every single day in Brazil too when the song came out. Love this song❤️
I can’t really explain why, but this song and video helped pull me out of a dark place when it came out. It’s so joyful and raucous and it came at a time when I really needed it. Forever grateful.
The girl sat on the piano is Mae Muller - the UK's 2023 Eurovision entry. Some things are written in the stars, as they say.
Or the music industry is just nepotism
@@edgeofugly or some things are written in the stars, as they say.
And both have some things related to famous princesses. Mika singing about Grace Kelly, and Mae being born just 5 days before Diana's passing.
Imagine if she represented the UK one year ago, they would have met at ESC.
@@alessiaricciardelli6639but thank god we got sam
Just watched Mika on ESC. Amazing performance. Turin has put on a great show

Bought the song yrs ago when it first was released he hasn't aged much
They absolutely havent. Italy probably did everything wrong you could do as a host country. And i am sure the EBU agrees
@@Whydontijustusespotify123 For example?
nah this one was biased. We all knew ukraine was going to win because of the war.

I never thought I'd cry when I saw him singing this on Eurovision, but I did. And here I am, looping this most fascinating song again and again, like what I did when it first came out.

His voice blows my mind away he just switches falsetto to chest voice so fast and easily ah i love this man
Anyone who has had to be the tenor in any choral setting (myself included: 6th chair tenor out of 50 in the Arizona High School All-State Choir. Ended up chosing orchestra as the bass bone) has had to inevitably do the transition between chest and falsetto.
Still, this guy seems to have nailed down AND pressure sealed.
Great performance!
@@caldadextra2063 then you are impressive too wow
@@yo-kw9mm Thnx. I also made the choir my sophomore year, which was also the year I got diagnosed with cancer. Against all medical advice, I still managed to fly down from Vegas to Tucson (State was being hosted by U of A) to perform. Visiting director (who was also Director of Choirs at University of Washington) was so impressed, the guy literally called me his hero...and I do mean literally; those were his exact words.
Eh, all thar shit was cool, but I don't wanna be that guy who's still stuck in the past. High school was at least pretty great for me, but dwelling on past glory is something that should be at least saved for resumea.

Best song of MIKA :)) I love him, so charismatic character
My favorite part of this song is the annunciation of “ violet “ sky ,
The way he spaces it out too “ vi -ol - et each syllable getting higher pitch just really is a great touch to get the song going on a upbeat tone that I don’t think gets enough credit.
Mine is 1:49 to 2:11 literally gives my goosebumps everytime
This is exactly my favourite part too!!!
The beginning of a legend. Thank you for those 14 years of joy and fantastic music Mister Mika.
17* years.. but Relax, Take It Easy came out in 2006.. so 18
Such an honest song! Love you Mika!! ❤️
Hi sorry but what do you mean with honest ???
polloppo him trying to get a girl and some boys actually change themselves for a girl
got no jams Tnx didn't notice
got no jams why are you saying that
I thought it was about changing himself/his music for the music industry? like so that people listen to him and buy his stuff etc
I used to stay up all night during highschool having mental breakdowns and I remember sitting on my bed with no sheets miserable but then this song would come on when the sun came out each day and it would make me so happy, it was on mtv video wake up and everytime it came on I would just immediately feel better and it still makes me feel the same 10 years later.
Thank you for sharing Skeletor

Why don't you like me? Why don't you like me? Walk out the door!
Humphry, we're leaving!
Ca-ching!

August 2024 and I still remember when I listened to this song for the first time in 2014. How I loved it and how I still love it ❤ such a wonderful song, one of my favourites of all time
Forgot how much talent this man has until eurovision. Can't put into words the skill and talent of Mika.
May God bless you and your family and help you Give your life to Jesus Christ and repent. I pray that God will lead on the path to Jesus Christ and send the Holy Spirit to be your helper. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray Amen! Jesus Christ loves you. Give your life to Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness for ALL OF YOUR SINS. Even the ones committed in the past and repent. He’s coming soon. Please pray and repent.
first time I heard this song was 9 years ago, I was 8 and loved the song so much, but didn't know the name or the singer, and had never heard of youtube or about music stations on the radio. 4 years later I did hear it on the radio, and another 4 years later I heard a tiny part of the song in a tv commercial that said it was by Mika. I finally found the song and it is absolutely amazing!! This is the happiest I've been in months! :D
+Luca Graveland I first heard it at my 9th birthday party and I remember how me and all my friends started trying singing along (having no clue on the words we sounded so stupid) and then when it finished had the like party person incharge to put it on like (I think) 37 times before we would let her change it this was literally the best birthday I had and I can just rember about 25 nine year olds screaming along to this song "WHY DONT YOU IEK ME" such a good memory
such a great story!
but coludn't you search about the lyrics?
I just have known Mika for two years and I feel like "you wasted your life without lestining to him" 😭❤️
