And when I think I know Mika quite well (as an artist I mean), then comes this video and adds a layer to his already very interesting personality.

Thanks for posting Deb!!!!
I absolutly love how he keeps on working with Es Devlin after last year's Paris show, she is incredibly talented. :wub2:
Great to see him talking about his upcoming album, it makes me more and more excited. :yay:

One more thing, I do have to say i don't find mika strange in any way, but someone who has a unique style and approach to what he does which makes him one of the most original singers and preformers in this music industry, and this is mainly why i like his music and art so much. :aah:

[IngievV]

:das:

You don't know why??

I didn't want to be blunt and say: Because he looks damn chickeny with paint all over his body:mf_rosetinted:

Can't wait to see the photoshoot, it was really nice to see some MFCers appearing there along with the yearbook:roftl:
Oh and I'm liking the idea of Dr John... I thought he'd be more of a dark freakish character when I heard the name but now that he said that it sounds brilliant.. With magic chickens even more:roftl:
Love it how he's keeping some characters, creating new ones and their own little world allover again:biggrin2:
Can't wait for the new album:wub2:
Though it totally crushes me that I won't be as present by then as I am now but ah well...

[BonjourMika1990]

1. Him in paint = absolute ferocity:wub2:

[mel_tinydancer]

Or wait... is it in the guardian?!?

[Neiobi]

Is the observer a magazine or a kind of newspaper? Because if it's a magazine I can get it but if it's a newspaper it'll be harder..

I looked for it, it's the sunday version of The Guardian- which only runs monday-saturday. So it's basically the sunday paper

[tauruslady]

I am already getting some copies of the Observer for a few people - I could manage a few more, I suppose :blink: so PM me if interested (but I don't accept major credit cards, just Paypal :roftl:)

I'm so tempted to buy it...but it could very well be available near me, you might get a PM if I can't get one though. :teehee:

On the beach?:naughty:

Oh of course :das: :naughty:

[superstar]

Just called 4 bookstores, none of them have it, so I'm guessing it's not available over here. :no:

That just means I'll have to get it from one of youuu! :fisch:

[Neiobi]

Must be a stupid question to ask, but what exactly will be on the paper?

[avoca]

any chances of some kind soul from Uk to get a copy for me..? *puppy eyes* :tears:



i'll be sending the money straight away including shipping.. :blush-anim-cl:



side note: doctor john :aah: teeeeheeeee... mad chickens... teeeheehehehehehehe :aah::roftl:

For this Sunday's Observer Music Monthly (http://www.guardian.co.uk/theobserver/musicmonthly), Caspar Llewellyn Smith caught up with Mika ahead of his second album and found a strange superstar in the making.

Check out the video:

You might be able to order it as a back number - but generally I would say no. Unsold Sunday papers (including supplements) get collected from newsagents early Monday morning.

:shocked:

Me in the queue: "Mika, I don't want your autograph, but I'm a visual artist, so could I paint you with Acrylics?"
Mika: "Sure, I would be honoured!" (Thinking I'd like to paint his portrait.)

:lmao: :das:

[inbar_assaf]

brilliant! loved it! havnt seen a new interview in ages and well- that just hit the spot!

good to see\gear they used new material...

it was very short though... but i enjoyed it deeply (mika all colored up for photo shoot made me smile- how Mika is he?!)

indeed its a strange world... i think that why alll fallen for him

[inbar_assaf]

i hate that front cover photo :boxed: seriously.. i'm disturbed by it.. it makes mika look cheap. WHO MADE MY MIKA LOOK CHEAP!! :sneaky2:

and his head looks photoshopped onto the body.. and since when has mika been that pale? :blink: :blink:

its disturbs me too... i dont think the cheap part is what ticks me (although, the person who made Mika look cheap should get slapped just for that) but i know FOR SURE that there were much better photos out of that shoot...
that one on the cover and begging of the vid, well, its just one of his less... you know what i mean?

and his head looks photoshopped onto the body.. and since when has mika been that pale? - so very true! i remmeber mika in the new pictures quite tanned (anyone remmeber the watermelon story- no way he got so white!)

[mariposa]

I haven't had a close look but based on first look and the video, he actually looks much less 'fabricated' than in his first photo shoots and even videos.:thumb_yello:


I agree! I don't think it makes him look cheap or anything - it just shows another part of his personality. And it makes him look more like being himself.

[Blue Eyes]

I must say, he looks mighty fine in that turquoise jumper / sweater... :swoon:
The OCD part of me is stressed about that paint everywhere though (especially in his hair lol :blush-anim-cl:) Loved the video - looking forward to seeing the article tomorrow!
