BORN: May 5, 1988 in London

NATIONALITY: British

FULL NAME/ALSO KNOWN AS: Adele Laurie Blue Adkins

ADDITIONAL BIO: She graduated from the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in 2006, and got a recording contract the same year. In 2007, she received the Brit Awards "Critics' Choice" award and won the BBC Sound of 2008 poll in January 2008 (which Mika won in 2007). She has since won several Brit Awards, at least one Academy Award, at least one Golden Globe Award, numerous Grammy Awards, Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, Ivor Novello Awards, and many others. She is proficient in guitar, drums, bass, and piano.

OTHER APPEARANCES WITH MIKA: - They were interviewed together backstage at the 2008 Brit Awards ceremony and Perez Hilton posted pictures of them together at a party afterward. Mika was photographed out on the town in London with her in August 2008 when they had dinner at Zuma in Knightsbridge before going to Soho House for drinks.

QUOTES: ---When asked in a February 2010 interview with musictalk4u.com, Mika said "I’m friends with Adele, the singer. She’s another strong woman and her own creation."

---On October 4, 2010 Mika tweeted "Watching Xfactor with Adele and the dogs. Just burned the food after hearing Any Other World and Happy Ending one after another. Lol".

---According to a February 2008 article from The Sun at a London Fashion Week party Adele said that at the Brit Awards ceremony: "I wanted to wear a flamboyant dress and dance on the table as Mika sung ‘Big Girl’".

---In an October 2009 interview with Dutch magazine Veronica Mika said, "A little time ago I stole something, by the way. I was at a gas station and there was a lifestyle magazine about dogs and stuff, with a bag of dog food stuck on the cover. I secretly took the bag with me. I wanted to give it to Adele, she is a friend and she has a weenie dog, a dachshund. But she did not want them to have it when she heard that I had nicked it!"

---In an interview with Heat magazine in November 2008 she said, "I met him [Mika] at the Brit Awards. Just after I'd picked up my award he'd won best breakthrough we were on live TV bit with Fearne Cotton who was giving the numbers out to phone in for Single Of The Year. I was going ‘Oh, number one for ‘Bleeding Love’. Oh no, number two for ‘Valerie’. No, number two for ‘Foundations’…’ and when it came to number four which was his I didn't say anything and he was like ‘Oh you bitch!’ We've been friends ever since. I do love him very much".

---On BBC Radio 2’s ‘Mika: The Art Of Song’ radio show on New Year's Day 2016 Mika said, "Great interpreters, great writers, I mean, at the moment it is the reigning moment for Adele and I have to tell you there was for me a huge turning point in Adele’s career, I’ve known her for quite a long time and I’ve admired her from right the beginning and she put out ‘Chasing Pavements’, she put out her first album and I was actually on tour in the middle of a drive, I think it was in Estonia, I turn on the radio and I hear ‘Make You Feel My Love’ and I completely freaked out, I couldn’t believe how good this song was and how good she sounded on it. I sent her a text message, I said ‘I love your new single’ and she sent me a message back saying ‘Oh, thanks. Bob Dylan likes it a lot, he says it’s the second best version he ever heard, after his’ and that’s how I discovered, even though I’m hosting right now on Radio 2 and you’re listening to a show called ‘The Art of Song’, where I’m supposed to be telling you about all the best songs from rock and pop history, I didn’t know that this was a Bob Dylan song, I guess some things just slip you by." After he played her version, Mika said, "I really wonder where she got the idea to sing that song, whoever… whoever had the idea was genius because it’s just absolutely stunning, it’s a stunning record, honestly one of my favourite vocal recordings ever, ever made."

---On BBC2’s Tracks Of My Years on May 30, 2016 Mika played her song "Hometown Glory" and said, "I think that there’s a couple songs that changed the path of Adele’s career. And ‘Hometown Glory’ is one of them. I mean it’s easy to say it’s something like ‘Chasing Pavements’ was the breakthrough but it wasn’t, it was a breakthrough from a radio point of view and from a commercial point of view, but the other songs that pulled it much closer to her complicated, and quite beautiful story that she has had already at such a young age and the maturity that she has to describe her emotions. She’s so emotionally intelligent. She’s not someone who’s the most well-read person in the world but when she speaks she does it like this kind of likewise, zen Buddhist kind of like--[laughs] She has a sense of perspective and you feel reassured and I think that’s what's so nice about this song."

OTHER WORKS: Her studio albums are 19 (2008), 21 (2011), 25 (2015), and 30 (2021).

BORN: May 13, 1969 in Paris

NATIONALITY: French-Greek

FULL NAME/ALSO KNOWN AS: Nikólaos Aliágas

ADDITIONAL BIO: He lived in France and Greece during his childhood. In addition to hosting all 8 seasons of The Voice France and Star Academy from 2001 to 2008, he’s also hosted shows like La Chanson de l'Année (2011-2017), the NRJ Awards ceremony from 2009 to 2016, and Gros Plan (2007), released an album of duets called Rendez-Vous (2007), and published a book called I Was Born Greek: The Mythology or The School of Life (2003). He speaks five languages (as of 2003). 

OTHER APPEARANCES WITH MIKA: They appeared together in a commercial for the 2010 NRJ Awards.

QUOTES: ---In a short piece in Paris Match magazine in August 2015 Nikos said: "On his face I see a little brother, two heads taller than me. A man with multiple talents who becomes someone else when he gets on a stage dressed up in his showman glitter suit. Mika is naturally playful with a touch of genuine courtesy. At the same time a bit of the British gentleman phlegm and an Oriental piercing eye which sees everything, Mika is a star, but when I take pics of him, I see a conquering child with a serious look in his eyes as if one had to climb on top of all peaks in the world because life is too short and that time plays with us."

---On December 22, 2019 Nikos instagrammed a photo of Mika performing that evening at AccorHotels Arena captioned in French with: "From the great, the very great @mikainstagram tonight on stage. Songwriter Mika is also a charismatic showman who fills the space with light and joy. A packed house, and Mika on the wire, reaching out, balancing over the abyss. Sometimes Icarus, sometimes Béjart, the artist raises the body and the voice in a total gift of his person. No more hell, no more Paradise, just a world where everyone is himself because he loves without posture and without blinkers. The energy for sharing, with the hip sway of a @mickjagger and the arena instinct of an @georgemofficial is what it means to be #Pop in 2020... or almost 2020. Proud to have seen him again on stage. Bravo my friend Mika, you are unique. #instanikos #revelationtour."

MIKA'S OTHER NOTABLE VERSIONS: -

REMIXES: n/a

COVERED BY: -

QUOTES: ---In Vanity Fair Italia May 2015 Mika said, "In the album there's a track, 'All She Wants', about a woman who only has a wish: 'A different son from the one she has'. Does it talk about my mother? Of course. I'm referring to how I felt when I was a kid, the feeling that to her, it would have been easier to have another kind of son and the suspicion that she was focusing her hopes on my brother, dreaming that at least him, would one day marry a nice Lebanese girl. When my mother listened to the song she liked it a lot, but we never talked about it, we never speak about such topics. Songs are there to talk about things you don't say in another way."

---In June/July 2015 Winq magazine Mika explained each song and said this song is "about how terrified I was of what my mother would think about a son who wasn't 'normal'."

---In a June 10, 2015 Italian interview with Sky Uno Mika said, "'All She Wants' is a sort of coming-out. But not a sexual coming out, which certainly is not something interesting, but an existential coming-out, a metaphorical exit from the shell in which for years I have been trapped. When you come from a family to fifty percent Lebanese is all more complicated. Speaking of myself, of my feelings, of love (both when the heart is full of joy and when it is disintegrated by the pain) was difficult, until a few years ago I would never have done it."

---In NEXT magazine June 12, 2015 Mika said: "I look at my mother; she would never really want to change me, ever but you see that little modicum of doubt that things might have been nice also to have a little bit of convention, a little bit of the format, things rolling themselves out the way they're supposed to when you have a baby boy. And that's not a negative thing to say. I think it's very kind if you can turn something negative into something playful, and dismantle that potential negative bomb by addressing it with such a candid attitude. That's what I'm trying to do in that. In the same way l write songs about the person I would like to be as opposed to the person I am, or the imaginary person as opposed to the real one, I think that l write about the things people are afraid to say. In one way it is a little brutal and in the other it's one of the most tender songs on the album, because of the melody and the way the chorus is really tender and really heartfelt. There's a Beatles' sweetness to it-but then the lyric is just brutal."

HER NAME: her name is pronounced "uh-meer-uh". According to Wikipedia the term "Amira" may refer to "an Arabic and Hebrew female given name" or a "title for nobility and princesses in Arabic. The feminine of amir / emir meaning ‘prince’." Her nickname is Sharky, apparently because she bites.

APPEARANCES: on Mika’s seasons of X Factor Italia and on The Voice France; in many of Mika’s photos, videos, and stories on instagram and twitter; and on the "Portrait: Le Monde de Mika" documentary on France2’s Envoyé Spécial which aired in January 2016. At Mika’s gig in Pistoia, Italy on July 5, 2016 Amira came onstage during "Lollipop". Mika carried her offstage, and seemed unhappy about it, saying something like ‘Whoever did that, I’m gonna f**king kill you’ when he came back to his microphone. She appeared in all four episodes in both seasons of Mika’s TV show Stasera Casa Mika.

QUOTES: ---"She's a brat," Mika said to fans who asked about her after his concert at Verboten in New York City in May 2015.

---Mika tweeted on July 21, 2015: "My new pup Amira with her friend this am in the country East Sussex. Via Buzz Kennard."

---In a Radio Scoop interview in French from October 2, 2015 Mika was asked about his pre- and post-show rituals; he said: "I have my dogs. I have my dogs and they are the ones who make me human. She's outside right now and when she will be back in, she's like a storm. Amira! [he claps to get her to come over] You'll see the storm is here. The monster! She is seven months old and she is a monster."

---It snowed in Athens on February 17, 2021 and Mika tweeted: "A magical sight and a huge beautiful hug during these times. The dogs liked it too... 😉 by the way it’s Sharky’s 6th birthday today 🥳🥶😍❄️ #Athens #happybirthdaySharky."

LENGTH: original 2:50

ORIGINALLY APPEARED ON: a b-side of De Andrè’s single "Geordie" in 1966, and also on his 1968 album Volume III

PERFORMED BY MIKA: once, for his performance at the Sanremo Music Festival on February 6, 2020, which aired on Italian TV station Rai 1

QUOTES: ---During the Sanremo Music Festival on February 6, 2020 Mika said in Italian: "When I learned Italian I only knew how to say ‘hello’, ‘thank you’, and ‘in the blue painted blue’. I realized that the more you know Italy the less you understand it. But listening to your music I was able to really get to know Italy with Dalla, Battiato, Tenco and De Andrè, who made me understand how many things about Italy and me. When I was asked to pay homage to the Italian song from this stage I got scared: then I told myself that I shouldn't fear anything because my friend De Andrè is at my side."

QUOTES: ---Before his performance on the TV show Mika said: "When I was young, when I was *this* tall, when I wasn't half Italian yet, like now -- who were the Italians that I knew? I knew Leonardo, I knew Verdi, Puccini, Sophia Loren. But I also knew Mina and Adriano Celentano. Because their music, through the nations and borders, reached me, thanks to my family and our friends. As music does when it's beautiful, beautiful."

QUOTES: ---In a February 2007 interview for The Sun where Mika explained each song on the album he said, "There is a little spoken introduction that many people may miss. It's about a family friend of mine who lost her eye during the war in Lebanon and I realized in everyone's life there comes one point, or several points where something happens and you have to completely change the way you have lived your life because of one event. And it really makes you re-adjust and rethink and re-judge parts of your life all over again. That happens to some people in a dramatic way like Raffa who lost both her eye and her husband within 6 months. Or it can be in a much quieter way like when you are 22-years-old and you finally leave university after being in education all your life or when you lose your job. I wanted to put that in the song, because when you're 68 or 14, it's still the same feeling and it's still just as hard. I wanted to try to capture that quite difficult period that people have to go through at least once in their life."

OTHER INFO: The woman speaking before and after the album version of the song is Raffa Kobeisi, Mika’s Lebanese neighbor and longtime family friend. What she says at the beginning is: "Same day I went to dress for wedding, same day, where I went married, what happened - he's gone married another girl. When he's married another girl I am very, very sad, I can't walk, like cutted my legs. How he's married different lady, I no believe. After one month, I am sent up in balcony some bomb come for my eyes. My eyes gone. My eyes gone in bomb, now I have only one eyes. I am sad until now. I no married any man after." What she says at the end is: "I never ever I forget my story. My face is no sad, but inside I am sad."

NATIONALITY: Russian

FULL NAME/ALSO KNOWN AS: Алла Аблабердыева

ADDITIONAL BIO: She studied at the Moscow Conservatoire under Nina Dorliak. After completing her studies she won several international singing competitions including the All-Union Mikhail Glinka Competition of Musicians in Moscow. Throughout the 1980s she sang regularly as a soloist with the Moscow Philharmonic Society and appeared regularly in chamber music concerts in Moscow and Leningrad. She also toured the USSR, Czech Republic, Hungary, Cuba, Sweden, and France during this time. She relocated to London in 1991 and her career has since been centered there.

QUOTES: ---In 4MUSIC: 4PLAY on February 2, 2007 Mika said, "I had a lot of trouble at school when I was younger. It got to a point when it was really bad. That led to me being taken out of school for about 6 – 8 months. I didn’t have anything to do during the day so my mother found me a Russian singing teacher. Her name was Alla, and she would terrorise me into practising, and it was the best thing that ever really happened to me. It was really hard. She trained me like an athlete. I didn’t realise what was happening at such an early age. I was about 11 years old."

---In between songs at his intimate gig in Reading, England in July 2007 Mika answered questions from the audience. Someone asked what his previous Russian classical music teacher thought of his career, Mika replied: "I don’t think she thought a lot of it a few months ago, but I hope she thinks I made the right decision now."

---In a Mika article published in The Times on December 29, 2007, they interviewed Alla on the phone from Moscow. She said, "I remember him as eight years old. He was actually my first pupil; my first advert in a South Kensington music shop. His mother, Joannie, asked me to come to their house. What a big place. The whole set-up was designed for Mika to do whatever he wanted. He was a beautiful, lively young boy. I could see he was different from the others; the voice, the clarity of tone, was angelic. Immediately, I fell in love with the voice."

---In an April 2015 interview on the show Le Divan Mika said, "She realized that I couldn’t read music, so she played the melodies, I sang the melodies and the moment I sang them, I could play them. So she looked at me and she told me ‘sing this’ and suddenly, unknowingly I thought I was just doing small exercises to learn how to play the piano, but this wasn’t the truth, I was learning my first Lied, my first German song, that was Schubert, ‘Die Forelle’, and immediately she told me ‘Ok, you aren’t going to play this song at the piano anymore, you'll only sing it’, and with my mother, I don’t even know if they had a conversation or not, but I think they’ve never had this conversation, but they looked at each other and Alla started to train me. So Alla was technique, it was very intense and technical and the way it was, it was a very hard discipline, because it really went by the Russian tradition, no tolerance."

---In an interview in the issue of Le Monde magazine out on February 10, 2019 Mika said, "An opera singer who seemed out of the 20s, with her long embroidered collar. She was supposed to give me piano lessons but actually she didn't play the piano. She began singing melodies, I sang with her. The melodies became complicated, they turned into melodies by Schubert, by Brahms, by Britten."

OTHER WORKS: She has made several recordings including Stravinsky's Les Noces, several cantatas by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi and Antonio Vivaldi, art songs by various Russian composers, and numerous works by J.S. Bach, Henry Purcell & George Frideric Handel, mostly on the Melodiya label.

OTHER INFO: Since 1991, she and her husband have lived in London.

BORN: March 22, 1949 in Saumur, Maine-et-Loire, France

NATIONALITY: French

FULL NAME/ALSO KNOWN AS: Fanny Marguerite Judith Ardant

ADDITIONAL BIO: The youngest of five children, she grew up in Monte Carlo, Monaco, until the age of 17 when she started studying international relations in Aix-en-Provence. She has appeared in more than eighty films since 1976 and directed a few. She is fluent in French, English, Italian, and Spanish.

OTHER APPEARANCES WITH MIKA: She was one of MIka’s guest coaches on The Voice France in season 4, appearing in the episode aired February 28, 2015. 

QUOTES: ---In Le Parisien in November 2011 Fanny said, "We [she and Mika] met at a dinner, he told me: 'I would love you to be my mother,' I said, 'Of course, you are a charming young man'. We shot in a villa where everyone seemed to have smoked! It was very nice".

---At the press conference at Parc Eana Normandie France on July 20, 2012 Mika said: "And Fanny Ardant in the video... I met her at a dinner, I was very nervous sitting in front of her, she didn't know me or what I do, she had a sort of presence and authority, I had already worked on the song, and at the end of the dinner she started talking about her daughters, I think she has 2, or maybe more I don't know, she was talking about her daughters who are quite young, around my age, and I thought 'it's strange to be such a diva, to be so strong but so soft at the same time, I wonder what it's like to be her daughter or her son.' When I thought about the video I thought 'it's perfect, it's her. It's an independent strong woman who loves her son but is not scared of telling him to f**k off, because she has her own life, and there's tension between the two and I thought it's perfect to illustrate this feeling' So I called her, very formally, 'Hello Fanny Ardant, I want to present you something' and finally we did it, but it was not easy. But she did it for free. Simply because she liked the idea."

---In a TWT Tunisia interview on July 31, 2012 Mika said: "So when I met Fanny Ardant, it was completely by chance, we were at a dinner in Paris and a few weeks later I called her to ask if she wanted to make a video with me, to be in it. And that's what happened. In fact... In fact... Yasmine, wasn't it here? Wasn't it here, that I called her? I think that the first time I had the idea to make a video with Fanny Ardant was when I was in Tunisia. I was in Tunisia in my hotel room. And I started.. yes it was in Tunisia! And I called Fanny Ardant from my phone and I had a whole conversation with her before going on stage, telling her really formally 'Hello, I like what you do a lot, I have an idea for a video, would you like to be in a pop video? ' She said 'No, but tell me why you're asking' And I told her. And it took several months and finally it worked. It took a lot of time but it started here."

---In www.sfexaminer.com on March 24, 2013 Mika said: "I was introduced, and I became obsessed with her persona. You have to refer to her in the formal term of ‘vous,’ and she’s so pure, so hardcore and so dangerous, you never know what she’s going to say. She’s a true diva."

---In an interview in French Vogue magazine in April 2014 Mika explained his definition of elegance, "From an aesthetic point of view, coherence, integrity, even if it reaches extremes. I find Yayoi Kusama very elegant for example. Not to mention Fanny Ardant. She is elegance raised to sublime; her figure and her looks are gorgeous, she is warm, extreme, curious, she gets involved and against all odds, she is very much a punk."

---In the June 10, 2017 issue of Télé 7 Jours magazine Mika was explaining who he’d invited to his dream dinner and said that Fanny is "one of the most beautiful and most talented among the French actresses. She is as remarkable in life as on screen, which is very rare. A strong and gifted woman, with style."

OTHER WORKS: She is also known for her many films roles, including those in La Femme d'à Côté (1981), Vivement Dimanche! also known as Confidentially Yours (1983), Un Amour de Swann (1984), Le Colonel Chabert (1994), Ridicule, Pédale Douce (1996), Elizabeth (1998), Callas Forever (2001), 8 Femmes (2001), Paris Je T'aime (2006), Chic! (2014), Ma Mère Est Folle (2018), and La Belle Époque (2019).
