Aaah Mika. He who properly burst onto the international pop scene back in 2007 with his dizzyingly infectious single ‘Grace Kelly’… And for whom we declared love for subsequent singles ‘Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)’, ‘Love Today’ and the seriously underloved ‘We Are Golden’. We don’t know what it is, but for some reason, Mika’s dropped off our radar a little bit in recent years, but he’s hoping to worm his way back into our psyche and our hearts with his new single ‘Popular Song’, roping in hot new thing Ariana Grande to further tempt us back into the Mika fray.
Add to the mix a riff from the song ‘Popular’ from the stage show ‘Wicked’ and a clip which sees both Mika and Ariana cooking up something special for their classmates and you’ve got a bright, fluffy pop confection that’s crafted for maximum addiction.
Any guesses who might have helped foot the bill for the clip (below)?
Australia's first stop for pop!

Hey Anonymous #3,
We’ve not heard anything from Universal about a release for this locally. And they’ve recently stopped supplying detailed release schedules, so we’re now as in the dark as you are, unfortunately…

Hey auspOp,
Do you know when this new version will be released through iTunes Australia (it is already available through iTunes OS)?

Have to agree with you there anonymous. Priscilla Renea’s version is far superior (I won’t say swag cause that’s a stupid word). This version is becoming tolerable with the visuals though.
It would be nice to see Mika do a few shows in Oz again…

One of the best videos of the year so far. Great song too ;)

What the hell is this? The original on his album is far superior to this dumbed down version. Ariana has absolutely no swag unlike original Priscilla Renea, who effortlessly smashes her part…
Having said that. I like the film clip :)
