Advantages: Fun,lively, bubbly music Disadvantages: There are none
This must be the best Cd i have brought ever!!! The lively, funky music will put a smile on anybodies face! Yes some of the Titles for the songs sound childish but they are really good when u listen to them. There is range of music from Mika on this Cd, some are lively and up beat and u can happily dance around the living room in pj's to but others are more relaxed and gentle. My favourite Songs are Billy Brown and Lollie Pop! both are great up beat ... ...The words are simple so you can easily sing along to them. You will notice Mika's ablum form a mile away because of it's bright and colourful design which stands out from all the rest of the other cds sitting on the shelf! So basically if you need some cheering up buy this ablum!!! ...

Advantages: 12 catchy songs, all easy listening and singable. Disadvantages: Some say that his songs all sound similar.
After hearing 'Grace Kelly', I immediately went looking for Mika's other work. However, because Mika is a previously unheard of artist, I was a bit hasty about purchasing this album, so I downloaded a couple of tracks and was very impressed. I bought the album and every song is a winner!
With such songs as, 'Grace Kelly' which is a song that you either loved instantly or growed on you, and newly released 'Love Today' which I think is catchy, it ... ...(Take it easy)' which is a really nice tune, something you can dance to. When Mika sings 'Relax!', it is almost the same as Frankie Goes to Hollywoods. There is also 'Lollipop' which is another Mika song that features the voice of a little girl, nonetheless, it is a theatrical piece with a catchy tune. ...

Advantages: Will always lift you up when you are down! Disadvantages: Some songs may become annoying
Mika is an amazing singer and his album is full of feel good, happy music. Most songs make you smile and want to sing out loud however, some may tire and cause you to skip them, but the majority are loveable and do not disappointed or annoy. The songs are really catchy and the words are easy to remember, without fail whenever his songs come on whether you love them or hate them you will just have to sing them. If you are ever feeling low just put ... ...along within minutes its inevitable with this album. From “Grace Kelly” to “Love today” you will be singing them for weeks and will always find it the best album to put on when you are feeling down to brighten up your mood. It is a definite must have and once you have listened to it you will be smiling for hours. ...

I purchased this Album as soon as it came out. Im a HUGE fan of the song "Grace Kelly" and believed the entire album would be of the same calibre.
Its not.
There are several catchy pop songs such as "Grace Kelly" "Billy Brown" and "Lollipop" but much of it is not the same - if you buy this album on the back of his first NO 1 Single you WILL be disappointed.
I would advise you listen to it or borrow it first and made up your mind. I have rated ... ...of 1-5 five being the best
1. 'Grace Kelly' ***5***
2. 'Lollipop' ***5***
3. 'My Interpretation' ***4***
4. 'Love Today' ***5***
5. 'Relax, Take It Easy' ***1***

7. 'Billy Brown' ***3***
8. 'Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)' ***4***
9. 'Stuck In The Middle' ***2***

I think Life In Cartoon Motion is suck a groovy name for the title of n album, and Mika should be credited on that.
I hope Mika releases more songs, as I would certainly be listening to them! If anyone is looking to buy a good album, then I suggest this one. ...

Advantages: Uplifting, entertaining, unique, inspiring!! Disadvantages: You will either LOVE it or HATE it!!
This artist really grabbed my attention with the recent number 1 single "Grace Kelly", which is also the first track on this fantastic album. Famously, the single went straight in at number one in the charts based on downloads alone, before the single had been released on CD.
Mika has an absolutely amazing voice, if you love the vocal range and performance of the late great Freddie Mercury and adore the Funk of the Scissors Sisters then this is ... ...stop since I got it home, its hard not to with the great catchy music, it just doesn't get old. I have not danced around the house so much in ages. Every track tells a story along to the most gripping music. The writing talent shown by Mika in this, his debut album, along with such a great vocal range, could see Mika being around for years to come.
I would warn you however, you will either love it or hate it. So, if your a Metalica fan.. Steer clear. ...

Advantages: Absolutely Fantastic album. Disadvantages: None at all
This is an abolsutely fantastic, original and addictive album.
The songs themselves have a musical purity which is lacking in most current releases, which tend to comply with their own genres expected style and content. This is what makes this album very refreshing and unique. Think of it as the Scissor Sisters with a little bit of a retro feel....
Mika's voice is also quite unique; it is not very often you hear such a falsetto; a sort of cross ... ...like the "Big Girls" song, one in the eye for the clothing designers who all seem to be struggling to find ever thinner models.
Love Today is a highly energetic disco track which is sure to be a big hit in the near future, which along with Grace Kelly plays heavily on Mika's falsetto.
I would say the weakest track on the album is Happy Ending, purely because it is a little too slow moving for my liking, but may appeal to other.
Lollipop is an ...
