This is today's news

Apparently Mika's gonna have 4 episodes of his own show on Italian national TV starting next November. Not much more has been said, but that's the same channel that's also gonna broadcast Bercy gig in November, it might be a clue. Maybe that's why he turned down X Factor

 

Could pls anyone tell me WHEN Bercy will be shown on Italian TV?

You're welcome, I'm glad you found my translation useful.  :thumb_yello: It would be great if you shared your French translation here too!

:) I totally agree - this's one of the mags I would like to buy - the original version.  Probably it's sold out long time ago, when I get to Italy for MIKAs concerts in Florence  ;) Thanks a million to both Eriko and Andreja, for making it available for all of us!!  :hug:  :wub:

 

Love, love

me

You can buy it as a digital download on your phone , look for Vanity Fair ap on google play and you can buy the edition with Mika :wub2: I did the same with Winq magazine he was in in 2015 as well :wink2:  You might also print the Mika pages , the result is good :thumb_yello:

Merci Anne!  :hug:   Good suggestions :wink2:  I think I'll also ask the right shops, selling mags, in Florence, just in case they should have a leftover, something I doubt very much, because it seems that the Italiens have adopted MIKA, and love him to bits, and I don't blame them... :wub:

I hope you manage to find one :crossed: You might want to ask an Italian fan to save one for you while they are still on sale....and that fan could give it to you in Florence ...:wink2:

:) Thanks again Anne - it's very kind of you, to wish me good luck! :hug:  :wub: Your idea actually crossed my mind, when I first saw this mag, but after thinking a little about it, I thought it might be a bit too much to ask about  ;)

But maybe I'll do it -and then it has to be very soon... :wink2:

Mika, che si sta preparando a tornare in tv con “Stasera Casa Mika”, si è raccontato in un’intervista rilasciata a Tu Style.

Il cantante libanese Mika, che in Italia ha trovato un grande affetto da parte del pubblico, ha raccontato un po’ della sua vita a Tu Style e ha dichiarato di sentirsi parecchio egoista. Un egoismo che, per il momento, gli rende impossibile pensare di avere dei figli dal suo compagno, il film-maker Andreas Dermanis:

“Io vivo una vita troppo egoista. Fare 15 mesi di tour equivale a un investimento emotivo gigantesco. Devi avere intorno persone tolleranti, che capiscono e accettano il fatto che ti stai “rovinando” la vita. Con un bambino questo non sarebbe possibile.”

“Stasera Casa Mika”

Il 15 novembre il cantante tornerà sugli schermi italiani, con un programma tutto suo il cui studio sarà… casa sua! Ebbene sì: il programma, che si intitola “Stasera Casa Mika”, sarà strutturato come una sorta di talk show, in cui Mika sarà affiancato da Sarah Felberbaum (con incursioni della “vicina di casa” Virginia Raffaele). Gli ospiti che si alterneranno a casa dell’ex giudice di X Factor sono tanti: si parla già di Monica Bellucci, Renzo Arbore, Gianmarco Tognazzi, Benji & Fede, Malika Ayane e molti altri. In tutto le puntate dello show saranno quattro.
A proposito della sua casa, Mika ha raccontato a Tu Style:

 

“È piena di libri. C’è molta arte, ci sono i miei due cani, il giardiniere, una persona che cura la casa, il cuoco perché mangiare è bellissimo! E c’è il mio compagno che si ritrova sempre circondato da estranei. Lui ci perde la testa.”

Al termine del lavoro sul suo show, la popstar si concederà una bella vacanza insieme al suo compagno. I due sono appassionati di surf, anche perché, come ha rivelato lui, dopo i trent’anni è uno sport perfetto per tenersi belli e in forma! E se lo dice lui c’è da crederci, vista la sua forma fisica!

Translation:

 

No children: I lead a selfish life

 

He runs around like a maniac between tours, albums, books and TV shows (Stasera Casa Mika is coming). Reinventing himself all the time, because, he says, he has a punk soul that makes difficult choices.

 

[Text in the box: "Sometimes I talk too much, and during concerts it often happens that someone says "shhh, be quiet".]

 

"I've always wanted a home, because I lost it many times when I was a child and as years passed by, it became an obsession for me, a sort of fetish." Now that he has enough homes, scattered around the world, Mika feels more secure. Enough to want to create a house in his image and likeness on TV as well: Stasera Casa Mika, a spectacle in four episodes that starts on Tuesday, 15th November, at 21:10 on Raidue. And it's just one of his million commitments: 15 months of tour, concerts in Firenze on 30th and 31st December, a new album coming out in 2017 and a book titled as one of the works of Dario Fo (we don't know which one yet), who the singer sees as "the most punk and modern hero of the recent years". Born in Beirut to a Libanese mother and a father from the U.S., transferred to Paris as a child and then grown up in London, Mika, real name Michael, 33, is used to changes. "I never want to be too similar to the same version of myself" he confides. "That's why I left XFactor after three seasons, while I said yes to the fourth season of The Voice in France, where there's less pressure." He does have a certain "know how" in recognising talents. "I know young people who at 16 are ancient, because they let others form their opinions. Maybe at first they become popular, but they will never be modern." The solution? "To put their soul and heart in it: they mustn't be caught unprepared." Mika takes his time to explain every single concept. In a profound, intelligent, exhaustive way. He does it during our appointment as well, despite the fact that fans are waiting for him in rain for one of the three pyjama parties where a video for his show is taken.

 

So, where is your real home?

In the Mecenate street in Milan (where Stasera Casa Mika is recorded, editor's note). I feel much more at home there than in the apartment I rent in the centre of the city.

 

And what's it like inside?

Very nice. It has something fantastic ... It seems like Tim Burton's set. To create it, I collaborated with a team of artists who follow me during tours. This is why the furnishings are a reflection of me. I'm very proud of it.

 

What kind of spectacle awaits us?

You'll see guests of all ages, from a 17-year-old teen idol to a 78-year-old intellectual (in the first episode: Renzo Arbore, Virginia Raffaele and Sarah Felberbaum, in the role of Mika's housemate, editor's note). And then there's me. I go all around Italy, I return and bring some things with me. It'll be fun.

 

Do you spend a lot of time at home?

I think that the most delicious part of the day begins in the evening, from when you return home to when you go to sleep. During the show I replicate the same moments, set in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the sitting room and obviously in bed.

 

Your main residence is in London. What can you tell us about that one?

That it's full of books. There's a lot of art, there are my two dogs, the gardener, a person who takes care of the house, the cook -- because eating is wonderful! And there's my partner (Andreas Dermanis, filmmaker, editor's note) who always finds himself surrounded by strangers. He loses his head because of that.

 

You've been together for 10 years. Are you talking about children?

No, I live too selfish a life. Doing 15 months of tour requires a gigantic emotional investment. You have to be surrounded by tolerant people, who understand and accept the fact that you're "ruining" your life. With a child this wouldn't be possible.

 

At least you and Andreas go on vacation together ...

Of course, we're going to do it in January, in a place where you can surf. Do you know that at 33, it's the best sport to have a toned body?

 

You pay a lot of attention to your appearance and look.

Clothes are important and people who say that appearance doesn't matter are lying. A look is a way of communication. And it's under everybody's eyes.

 

In what way?

You have to learn how to dress, considering it a part of your personal culture. Whether you're inspired by a dandy or a casual look, by Cary Grant's outfits of by James Dean's jeans, there are many ways of being a man. You just have to know how to look around and choose.

 

Speaking of mirrors, how do you see a curly boy from a few years ago today?

I was divided in two. On the one hand there was music, art and a sense of fantasy that made me feel good. On the other hand there was anger, because I wanted to hurt those who treated me badly, but I didn't know how.

 

Did you manage to do it?

No, I'm a weakling. But there's no stronger revenge than success.

 

Your family now support you in everything, but it wasn't always like this.

I come from a Wes Anderson-like family (director of The Royal Tenenbaums, editor's note). But we have a real relationship, and we collaborate: my sister Yasmine is a graphic designer and she has done some drawings for the Casa Mika scenography, while Paloma deals with outfits. She's a great stylist, she worked with Pierpaolo Piccioli from maison Valentino on all the show's costumes .

 

You're tireless! Where do you find your strength?

In taking risks, and going against the flow. If you want your soul to be punk, first of all you have to be like that with your head, your mouth and your pen.

I feel like I should add some sort of disclaimer: I do these translations fairly quickly and while I try to stay as close as possible to the original article, the translation is not necessarily perfect (I'm not a native speaker of either English or Italian). I just do them so that non-Italian speaking people can understand the interview, and hopefully I'm still a slightly better translator than google. :wink2:

Translation is good. Thanks for your efforts.  :flowers2:
