The Limmattaler Zeitung had this to say
"Kein Wunder, denn die beiden sind keine Neulinge im Rampenlicht: Mika ist Schweizer Meister im Kunstturnen, Flavio ist Schweizer Meister im Latintanz. Zuvor war er kantonaler Meister im Karate. An Publikum sind sie sich also durchaus gewöhnt. «Vor einer grossen Menschenmenge aufzutreten, ist kein Problem für mich», sagt denn auch Flavio. Auch Mika steht gerne im Mittelpunkt, obwohl er zugibt, dass er vor Kunstturnwettkämpfen doch jedes Mal ein bisschen nervös ist."

und Tokio Hotel: Flavio, Vincent Mika und Max als neue Schweizer Teenie-Band Boystyle. (Gerald Farrell)
Sie heissen Mika, Flavio, Vincent und Max, sind zwischen 12 und 14 Jahre alt und dürften so manches Mädchenherz erobern. Das Ziel ist klar: Die Teenie-Truppe Boystyle soll die nächste Schweizer Musiksensation werden. Nach mehreren Castings stehen vier von fünf Mitgliedern fest, der letzte Nachwuchs-Entertainer wird am Samstag im Zürcher Club Acqua gekürt.
Im Juli erscheint die erste Single «Girlfriend», Ende Jahr folgt das Album. Bei den Liedern handelt es sich ausschliesslich um englische Songs – so könnte auch eine internationale Karriere lanciert werden. Der 12-jährige Mika freut sich: «Schliesslich stehe ich gern im Mittelpunkt.» Soundtechnisch bewegt sich Boystyle «zwischen den Backstreet Boys und Tokio Hotel», meint Tanz-Choreographin Sarah Angelsberger. Ob das bei den Mädchen von heute ankommt? Mika fände es jedenfalls «schon noch cool, wenn sich ein paar Mädchen in mich verlieben würden».
