Mika Reworks Hit Single ‘Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)’ For Ugly Betty Series 2
Mika has re-recorded his recent hit single ‘Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)‘ for the American television show Ugly Betty.
In the new version, Mika has changed the chorus lyrics from “Hey big girl, you are beautiful” to “Hey Betty, you are beautiful“. A subtle change I’m sure you’ll agree… hmm.
The song has been reworked to help promote the second series of the show starring America Ferrera. Mika recently told The Sun:-
“Betty is a real fashion icon and we should celebrate anyone like her - genuine individuals who stay true to their own identity.”
“That’s what ‘Big Girl’ is all about so it was the perfect fit to change the song for her. It was a huge honour to be asked to do it. I love the show.“
Doesn’t this news just suck? I mean, I don’t blame Mika for taking the American dollar and changing the song to fit in with a successful show.
Let’s face it, he can’t lose. Not only does he get paid, he also gets one of his songs associated with a hit TV show, which could help bring his name and music to a new batch of fans. But it still stinks!
I like seeing British artists succeeding over in the states, but when they drop all credibility they have (even if they’re cheese mongering pop stars like Mika) to get on the gravy train, it makes me ashamed to be British. Well, a little bit anyway.
