I don't think Mika is referring to one of these two interviews we have seen so far because I doesn't look like he is (gets) in a bad mood there or that he feels assaulted by one of the questions. I suppose we will see/read the interview later.

Yes I think you're right. Nothing controversial in those other interviews. He seemed a bit irritated about the venue, but not with the interviewer.

So does it mean he had no idea it was an indoor gig before this precise day? Is he really that unaware of what his schedule is?

He told a story in 2007 about them upgrading the venue in Milan (I think?) and he didn't realize it had gone from a club to a concert hall until he was on his way or he had arrived.

He was much happier about that surprise though.

Thank you for the great videos, Tina.

(The first one is Any Other World though, a mistake in the title. )

my videos are currently uploading... it'll take a while though as they're in HD quality. i got the new songs, the talking bits and the band intro and LT shooting (he even shot the sound engineer this time, lol! ). also rain, but of the other songs just bits and pieces... of those i will only upload what's not online yet. also i have the m+g in a better sound quality than it has been posted by daeni on youtube (the m+g vid posted in here). it was too dark though, you can only see him when someone's taking pictures, besides it's just the sound. btw, he looked fantastic at the m+g, in the brown leather jacket, and also his hair.

edit: the first two:

first talk about being in a bad mood (sorry missed the first sentence!) and the intro and a little bit of the beginning of SITM.




lola - he forgot the chords again... and tried out a few languages. *g*

that statement at 5:20 and the look on his face at the beginning of the interview makes me think that it might have been this journalist who annoyed mika. the journalist also seems to me like one of those who doesn't care how the person they interview feels but just that they get their questions answered... maybe he had a talk with mika before the interview and told him he found him weird, or something like that... i could totally imagine it!

of course we can't be sure though that it was a video interview at all that annoyed mika, it might have been for written press, who knows...

tina or marion mentioned something about an interview where mika was asked why he isn't more open to the tabloid press, that question could've annoyed him too... but no idea where that interview came from, i'm only starting to catch up on all that has happened here since monday.

Mika appears @ 5:05 -- 7:36

i love the statement how he is like his dog! i think they cut the interview though... dutch annie was there (she had won tickets for that talkshow too) and she said that mika said sth about wanting to have children... but she told me that she filmed it all, so i hope we'll get the rest soon.

If they mean the girl from the press at the live meeting in Italy, I think Mika really liked her as well as the question itself. In fact, after it all finished he ended the interview saying to that girl that he thought she was f*cking right.


Thanks for sharing your videos, btw.

Yes I was at the interview and I filmed it all. I cannot upload it now as I am on holiday and my internet connection is very bad. Will upload it when I'm home again.

And about the children thing, his exact words were "if I had a kid, which I hope to do soon" ... and then he said something about that he loves children and wants to have them before he's getting too old for that.

It was great to be at this gig and it was great to meet other MFCers. I will do a proper report when I'm back home.

Hi Nina, I found the whole interview lovely. He spoke about Melachi for about five minutes and said he loved to talk about her.

It was nice to meet you too. I hope to see you again one day.
