Rude.
The first thing that comes to mind when anyone says the word ‘Mika’ is the leapfrogging chorus of his 2007 UK Number One ‘Grace Kelly’. But over the weekend (October 22), Mika’s name didn’t even ring that bell for a lot of X Factor viewers when he was brought in as a guest judge.
Before it was announced he’d be guesting on the show, helping Louis sort through his category – the boys – the build-up to his reveal was huge. Louis said: “This person sold 10 million copies with their first album, he was number 1 in 10 countries. He is a great songwriter. I am really excited and I’m really happy to introduce you to… Mika!”
Celebrate! The Boys will be hoping #JudgesHouses has a Happy Ending because Louis’ Guest Judge is the fabulous @mikasounds! 🙌🏽 #XFactor pic.twitter.com/ecxhhGB3F7

At this point confusion broke out on Twitter: some viewers had no idea who Mika was:
mika: is releasing number one singles, has worked on xfactor and the voice, won an award for his own show

“Who’s Mika?”

My 10yo: “Mum, please can I have your phone, I’ll only be 30 seconds. I just need to google who this Mika guy is”. 😆 #xfactor

Others suspected the boys actually being judged by Mika on the show didn’t either.

Some Twitter users mistook him for Radio 1’s Grimmy:
