Is there any point even attempting to criticise Mika at the moment? His Life In Cartoon Motion album's already topped the charts; 'Grace Kelly' is still dominating the airwaves like the love-child of Chris Evans and Russell Brand and last time a critic took a pop at the Lebanese upstart, guess what happened? Brian May stepped in to call the sceptical scribe a "nasty, grubby, spotty, unusually ignorant 15-year-old creep". Ouch.

Luckily for Digital Spy's relationship with hirsute members of the pomp rock aristocracy, 'Love Today' is a great single. Its rhythm track sounds like a galloping horse; its chorus sounds like a lost disco classic and Mika's vocals sound like helium was on tap in the recording studio. Remember the boundless sense of fun the Scissor Sisters used to radiate? Mika's picked it up and run with it.
