Thanks Lara

The "interview" is already done. It´s in Catalán, though it´s pretty easy to understand (even @Meeks understood that and she´s from Seville )

Love the last part of the interview where he speaks Spanish!

This is the translation

500 fans were called to appear in a vid. They didn´t even know that Mika was going to be there.

- Welcome.

- Thanks.

- Are you aware that this is one of the most awaited ads of the season?

- Really?

- Really

- No, I know the campaign. I know it´s very creative, not a normal ad.

- Last year Jamie Cullum set high standards. How´s your osng?

- Pretty pop. Easy to sing, quite summer-esque.

- You´ve already done ads. You wrote a song for a chewing gum ad and for some air lines...

- Yes, but this is pretty different. Here you write the song and record a clip, it´s more real.. not like (orbit chewing gum *claps*) I'm happy I stopped.

- Does being compared to Freddie Mercury make your life more complicated?

- It´s a bless and a curse. There´s nothing better than being compared to someone your admire, but on the other hand I'm a huge fan and it seems to me an impossible comparison.

- You like The Simpsons. What else do you fancy?

- I like trashy TV. I'm from the South Park generation. They do what they want, they say what they want... and everything is ok. Like a pop song. As long as you ad a great melody to a song, it sounds good, but if you sometimes read the lyrics, there are some obscure things expressed on them.

- Do you still get nervous before a gig?

- Yes.

- Who do you fear? Journalists or fans?

- Oh no, not journalists or press at all. It´s just that you are as good as your last gig.

- You were singing opera. Will you return?

- No, I wasn´t good at it and there´s very little job for those singers, you need to be the best...

- You live in London,but were born in Beirut.... How do you see it now?

- There are many things happening in Beirut now, many influences from countries like Syria ... it makes me thing “really, again?”

- You speak English, Spanish, French...

- English and French.

- No, Spanish too!! Where did you learn it?

- I like Spanish. I understand everything but I'm afraid of talking because I do many mistakes.

- So to finish, let´s see how good you are at Catalan, ok?

Now he is been told to say "I also do a Friday" which I´m not sure if it makes sense for you in English.It doesn´t in Spanish or Valenciano, maybe only in Catalan...

San Miguel facebook posted this pic:

And they say there'll be more stuff soon (I guess they will upload more videos and pics of that evening )

This is SUPER!!! Can't wait to hear it.

MIKA y el nuevo spot de San Miguel

Un año más, llega la esperada canción para los “ciudadanos de un lugar llamado mundo” de San Miguel. El tema para el anuncio de este año corre a cargo del artista internacional Mika, que además presta su imagen al mismo.

En esta edición, la marca ha querido ir un paso más allá y ha ofrecido a 500 fans una oportunidad única: colaborar en la grabación del spot que se ha desarrollado en el CCCB (Centre de Cultura Contemporànea de Barcelona), aportando voces y palmas, que se añadirán a la canción creada por el artista y al videoclip final del tema. Entre los asistentes había ciudadanos procedentes de diversos países, como España, Guatemala, Méjico o Finlandia, gracias al poder de convocatoria de las redes sociales.

Los asistentes han podido escuchar en exclusiva los primeros acordes de la canción, que no se desvelará hasta la emisión del spot, programada para finales de mayo en Internet y principios de junio en televisión.

El anuncio es la continuación del viaje alrededor del mundo que inciaron Delafé y las flores azules en 2011 y que, el año pasado, continuó Jamie Cullum junto a los artistas españoles Nita (Fuel Fandango), Frank T y Carlos Sadness. Está rodado en Barcelona, Londres y Ciudad del Cabo, tres ciudades que han sido elegidas por su multiculturalidad.

Live your life, título del nuevo himno de San Miguel “se caracteriza por un estilo inspirado en la música festiva que puede verse en los desfiles, con instrumentos de viento y percusión”, según ha explicado el propio cantante. Además, Mika ha señalado que espera que se convierta en la canción del verano.

El artista ha vendido más de 8 millones de discos a nivel internacional, con certificaciones de oro y platino en 32 países con sus dos discos previos, ‘Life in Cartoon Motion’ y ‘The Boy Who Knew Too Much’ y actualmente sigue promocionando su tercer álbum “The Origin of Love”, editado el pasado mes de octubre (2012). Además, ha sido galardonado con un Premio Brit y un MTV Award.

Actualmente, está en plena gira de conciertos, caracterizados siempre por ofrecer espectáculo de color y fantasía.

Con esta tercera campaña de “Ciudadanos de un lugar llamado mundo”, San Miguel consolida su compromiso con la música y su voluntad de acercar los nuevos referentes musicales al público general.

He always get nervous when he has to speak spanish...

Just look at him twisting his hands...

But he speaks spanish good, I don't understand why he gets nervous,, he just needs a little bit of practice but I'm afraid now learning italian he forgets spanish

Don't you think it will be the other way around? Learning Italian could make him improve his Spanish?

I get why he's nervous. When I speak Spanish to Spanish people they encourage me and say I'm doing well but I don't feel comfortable at all, because I'm not as fluent as in English.

I hope so.

Good thing is he actually understands much more than he can speak (which he does quite well, just for the record), a blessing for any Spanish fan whose spoken English is sh*t... And if you can understand English, then all is ok.

You're right but is there anything more beautiful that the sound of his spanish? NOOOO! I love how he speaks spanish and he can do it if he wants. The last interview was short, he could do it in spanish IMO
