From this week's NME:
"French pop star Sliimy is an oddity. Many will peg him as 'the Mika it's OK to like', but they are wrong; our slithery friend is far less punchable. He looks like Prince, he sings like a girl, and his jazzy anti-folk take on Britney's genius single has become the proverbial 'YouTube sensation'. Well, if you were born in a town called Saint-Etienne, pop stardom is surely written into your destiny."

Really?
Another fail for Mario.
.
It's Karma for abusing so many people.
.
Obviously, one slap didn't do the trick for Mario.
WHO??
catchy song but the dude sux
He's making this all up
yeah i heard his cover of womanizer, i love britney better! sorry, but his image seems really cool though. good luck 2 him!
His cover of womanizer sounds just like Lily Allens cover, only Lily's sounds better. Real original!!
You really think he's great, hu? Well… HE (read: his music) IS NOT! If all your artists on your label are going to be like him… you'll fail…
He Sucks!
Pleaaaaase!!!! I'm french but I don't really like him, he wants to be the next Mika but Mika is soooooooo much better!!!!! I think we have better artists than him in France so why promote someone who tries to be the french version of an english singer??? I like Julien Doré more! he's just himself.
Well I still like you anyways
Ugh, he's so annoying. And not talented at all. I agree with WwoEvarr, you better look for real artists, perez.
Okaaay… a lot of hate around here! i kinda like his music! its a great way to start ur day
i've got his album and its ok! Ppl are waaaay overreactin on this! The guy's not meant to be taken that seriously - he's a cool guy, with a cool style, and he sung and put a couple of songs on myspace, and now the whole world's talkin bout him! there must be a reason!
What do they mean by "The Mika it's OK to like"???? I'm sorry but I love Mika, he's brilliant. I don't like his new single but overall, he's amazing. I don't have anything against this Sliimy dude but how DARE they compare him to Mika??
this guy is really annoying
he does not look like Prince at all…
he looks like a Jonas brother reject.
he seems like a nice guy BUT i like Mika better ** and thats thanks to you because after seeing this guy i noticed how much i like mika more. and he looks like prince?? ok but just looking like someone dosnt mean your talented.
people say i resemble marion cotillard does tht mean i can act??? nooo!
wow you must have seen all the majority of smart people who dislike him soo you had to get on it and make up some lies .
PATHETIC!
you know if he signed to Perezs label he sucks,what artist with talent would ever sign to a record label owned by a moron with no taste in music.
Mika is hot, young, and talented.
This guy is… young.
Yay.
I've really grown to love him.
i do agree he looks like prince
Well at least he's extremely good looking!!
this guy wont go gold
My Perezcious's first signing to his label - Sliimy - is NOT far less punchable than Mika. People will soon be lining up to punch Sliimy once the Perezcious puts his FULL WEIGHT behind Sliimy!
Fatty you are truely deaf dumb and blind. This is latest venture is turning into another failed attempt get rich quick. Get real you pervy little twit.
Yep he does look like Prince! Give him time to prove himself. I think he just might surprise everyone.
Let's wait and see if Sliimy has any staying power.
Can't imagine he'll be ongoing .. without changing his image/style over time.
…I am guessing that NME stands for 'nother moronic enterprise?
i'm glad
No one effin cares Mario….stop shoving your business ventures down eveyone's throat. He sucks anyhow…read the comments you fat pig.
hello from… Saint Etienne !!!
Great job making french singer a celebrity in the US, but, there's so much better than Sliimy in Saint Etienne… !
Do you know Blacklarsen ??? There are on myspace.
Bonne journée à vous !
He SUCKS big time. I would never buy this guys music or even steal it.
how is his video a Youtube sensation? Even after being up on This site it's had barely 400,000 hits. Probably half of them are from today after being posted here.
um, is this Elizabeth Berkley?
Re: Spindoc – He actually posted Sliimy's cover of Womanizer in December of last year. But it's good that he tells us about his signings so that they can be avoided like the plague.
Hey Perez, Why don't you just crown him as the new Prince or King of Pop! You like to do that right?
he is like the ugly mika.
still don't see what the hype is all about. He's mediocre at best
oh really?
It's not easy to cover a song that sucks as it is. They both make my ears bleed.
He is just eh
stupid name!
I totally thought that this was Elizabeth Berkley…. it looks just like her with a wig on. I was like WTF??? Doesn't it look just like her??
Yall are crazy sliimy is the shit!
i knew mika had something to do with this. they wouldnt have to do all this gay artsy fartsy image if the music was worth a shit.
He sounds like an annoying fly caught in a piece of chewed bubblegum
