    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!

    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.

    Lyrics
    Do I attract you?
    Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
    Am I too dirty?
    Am I too flirty?
    Do I like what you like?
    I could be wholesome
    I could be loathsome
    I guess I'm a little bit shy
    Why don't you like me?
    Why don't you like me without making me try?
    I try to be like Grace Kelly
    But all her looks were too sad
    So I try a little Freddie
    I've gone identity mad!
    I could be brown
    I could be blue
    I could be violet sky
    I could be hurtful
    I could be purple
    I could be anything you like
    Gotta be green
    Gotta be mean
    Gotta be everything more
    Why don't you like me?
    Why don't you like me?
    Why don't you walk out the door!
    How can I help it?
    How can I help it?
    How can I help what you think?
    Hello, my baby
    Hello, my baby
    Putting my life on the brink
    Why don't you like me?
    Why don't you like me?
    Why don't you like yourself?
    Should I bend over?
    Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?
    I try to be like Grace Kelly
    But all her looks were too sad
    So I try a little Freddie
    I've gone identity mad!
    I could be brown
    I could be blue
    I could be violet sky
    I could be hurtful
    I could be purple
    I could be anything you like
    Gotta be green
    Gotta be mean
    Gotta be everything more
    Why don't you like me?
    Why don't you like me?
    Why don't you walk out the door!
    Say what you want to satisfy yourself
    But you only want what everybody else says you should want
    I could be brown
    I could be blue
    I could be violet sky
    I could be hurtful
    I could be purple
    I could be anything you like
    Gotta be green
    Gotta be mean
    Gotta be everything more
    Why don't you like me?
    Why don't you like me?
    Why don't you walk out the door!
    I could be brown
    I could be blue
    I could be violet sky
    I could be hurtful
    I could be purple
    I could be anything you like
    Gotta be green

    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
