Mika Filming Music Video for “Celebrate” on the Lower East Side

[egita]

wow.!!
the video is soo cool...!
Love it..!!

[Marilyn Mastin]

I love how the words he writes, and tears up, drift over the city and make people celebrate.
It's a bit like what happens in real life, with Mika's music drifting over the airwaves and coming out of peoples' cars as they drive along.
On the one hand it's sad that Mika is alone at the end of the vid, but on the other hand, it makes the video, both happy, and tragic at the same time.
And of course, he's playing a character. It's not his real life.

I wonder if there'll be a 'behind the scenes'?

He sounds really happy these days (and that surely makes us all happy) but he must know, like everyone else, what it is to feel lonely even when you are in the middle of the crowd. He is still a normal person, even though his life style looks quite comfortable or fancy compared to most people



I agree about this, I mean MYH short film is extra ordinary beautiful, I loved it immediately! I love the atmosphere in the film On the other hand, I also love the song more than Celebrate... I still think that the Celebrate video is well done, it describes the song really well and I especially like the natural look and styling in it and after reading people's feedback it looks a video like this can be very useful for him.

Exactly.
It's not the point whether Mika is happy or not in these days, in his real life, and yeah, we have not to forget that a video it's a little movie, it's art, not real life, as Marilyn Mastin said.
It's so clear that he's happy now, and it's much clearer that he's not a vulnerable person at all.
It was just a feeling that some shots of the video have left behind in some of us, that's all, I think.
I loved how he expressed the sensation that through suffering you can achieve happiness (the sheets of paper becoming confettis), but I also noticed that he seems alone in the crowd.
While jumping, he happily looks at the sky (ok, it's the ceiling ), not in other people's eyes, and in the end of the video, he lays down alone on the floor, always happy, but alone, in the "glorious" way smokesignal explained so well.
As always, just my thought...

A tiny mention of the video in the UK press (3am, Daily Mirror)

Pharrell, let's Mika hot hit

Discovering Mika is gay was a bit like being told Rik Waller likes cake.
However, the newly and officially outed star is back, promoting single Celebrate, featuring Pharrell Williams.
And Mika, 28, is looking pretty hot with it ....
