mika - live parc des princes paris (universal)
November 27, 2008
Mika shot to success in Australia with his hit 'Grace Kelly' over the past year and his album 'Life In Cartoon Motion' is bound to appear in many music reviewers top album list. Although he has previously released a live DVD from Paris where he resides, 'Live Parc Des Princes Paris' is the full live show from Parc des Princes Stadium in front of a capacity crowd of 60,000 people. As expected, all the hits are here; 'Relax (Take It Easy), 'Happy Ending', 'Love Today' and 'Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)'. However, Mika is one performer who is always going to give more and this DVD is no exception, featuring b-sides such as 'Ring Ring' and 'Holy Johnny' as well as new track 'Rain' and a cover of the Depeche Mode classic 'Just Can't Get Enough'.
The DVD also features a documentary on the making of the show plus bonus videos for 'Lollipop' and 'Grace Kelly' live from Jools Hollands Hootenanny.
At 145 minutes in length, this is an excellent value DVD for any hard core or even passing fans of Mika.
