Yes :thumb_yello: and why does he say Miko? :blink:

 

Well, he probably tries to make a play on word, 'amico mio' (a-Miko) means 'my friend', and Mika looks at him like 'what the hell are you saying?' Lol And Elio sarcastically going on 'thank you Simon, grande Simon' I found this bit rather hilarious XD poor Cowell, he doesn't even realize he's been subtly mocked, he's too busy taking himself too seriously... ;)

:naughty: S.Cowell didn't like MIKA in the first place, he has no right to call him "my friend" and definite not "mio" :mf_rosetinted: MKA is "ours" !! :aah::wub2:

It's fine if the judges are mocking him - that's what he deserves ...:sneaky2:

 

Love,love

I´m wondering what Cowell has to do with X- factor Italia. Did they ask him to show up to make it more interesting because they know Mika´s feelings for this man? Or , to think positiv about the production, did they want to show Cowell how wrong he was with his statement about Mika years ago? ( I don´t think it was the last reason ). To say the truth I don´t like to see Cowell, he is like tooth ache and no one needs it!

Well I think that they wanted to seal the reached quality of the programme by calling the official inventor of it, but I loved the fact that no one was trying to fake any admiration for him, they subtly laughed about him and his serious and rather fake approach, so for me it worked as a funny contrast of which the production, I think, was very aware. 'Don't let Italy down' ---> judges' faces XD

The X Factor is a television music competition franchise created by Simon Cowell. It originated in the United Kingdom, where it was devised as a replacement for Pop Idol. It is now held in various countries. The contestants are aspiring pop singers drawn from public competitive auditions.

 

The programmes are produced by executive producer Simon Cowell and his company SYCOtv. The "X Factor" of the title refers to the undefinable "something" that makes for star quality. The prize is usually a recording contract, in addition to the publicity that appearance in the later stages of the show itself generates, not only for the winner but also for other highly ranked contestants.

 

The similarities between The X Factor and Idol prompted Idol creator Simon Fuller, along with 19 Entertainment, to file a lawsuit against Cowell, SYCOtv, and FremantleMedia in 2004. An out-of-court settlement was reached in 2005 allowing Fuller to gain a 10% share in The X Factor format, and preventing an American version until 2010. Fuller later filed another lawsuit in 2011, claiming that he had also been promised that he would be credited as an executive producer of The X Factor USA, but that SYCO, FremantleMedia, and Fox Broadcasting Company had failed to fulfill that promise . . .

 

Unlike Idol, where the judges only critique the contestants' performances, on The X Factor each judge "mentors" the finalists in a particular category, aiding them with song selection and styling, while also participating together in judging the contestants of the other categories.

 

As well as Idol, new singing show The Voice has become a rival show to The X Factor.

In other words, Simon is the 'Big Cheese' of the X-Factor franchise.

I'll try to translate it :blush-anim-cl:

i have translate just the interview later i'll translate all the article :D

I (interviewer) M (mika) E(elio) S(simona) Morgan goes away few minutes before the interview so there isn't his answer, he is a little bit strange :)

 

I: speaking of talent, what's yours? human,not artistic?

S: My talent? i can take tought choice, painful, change road, in love and in my job,without regrets, i'm happy, i'm here, because i've leave my job at RAI

I: You are a person that leaves everything and goes away?

S: i leave things, not people...

E: wanna know my talent? i'm a great bseball hitter.

M: oh stop it you!! i'll say your talent Elio: it's the tolerance,and you are so human! do you see this man? there isn't a piece of this man that isn't true.

E:speak for yourself and about yourself Mika!

M: i'm a gipsy! i can survive everywere and in every condition, my family has been very rich and very poor, i've got up and downs, both economically and emotionally. and so i decided to use music to find my balance,no matter what.

and to create my destiny free from fears.

I: You too Simona aren't afraid of anything?

S: I've had a lot of fears, now i think i make the right choice, i protected my family and my love, now i have no time to be afraid, i have too much to do!

M:I'm not scared because i'm happy! everytime i feel good about myself, i'm at home, protected.Everywhere in the world, but if i feel bad, i'm not feel safe anywhere.

I: don'y you feel sorry for those who failed?

M: it's terrible, expecially when you see them in the backstage, as long as the camera in on, even who sings very bad, feels like he is "someone"...then everithing ends.

S: it's a critical step, guys today fall apart at the first hurdle,they didn't understand that suffering improves you, it helps you to grow up.

I: have you ever been mortified?

M:many times, without the humiliation push i would not be here.

if someone offend me or hurt me, i arm myself and go to war.

E: War? come on....

M: Yes i want to kill him,slowly.The other day i argued with a producer,one that whenever he can he stabs me in the back, it was awful i can't sleep the whole night.

then, the morning after a decide:i'll write a song with which i'll kill this man, and i'll win. reaction is the important things not humiliation.

S: i'm grateful of all the beatings i take, it helps me to grew up,even the flop. But i'm very vendictiv too, and i am patient, i usually wait to see all the people who hurts me fall down. I didn't forget anything, i can forgive but not forget.

I: Elio you are the kindest!

E: no, i'm the oldest,i've had already reach the point where no one and nothing can mortified me.

I: what makes you happy?

S: Knowing what is important to me, all the rest doesn't matter.

M:I'm happy everytime i can make something from scratch,it's amazing! i feel butterfly in my belly, it's the same for those who goes to church and believe in god.

E:For me it's the same, realize that you have had something that there wasn't before, it's amazing!!!!

To be fair. We don't really know what happened. We don't know that Simon never liked Mika. His songs have been used on the UK version of XF, many times, and Simon mentioned Mika once on BGT, when two kids were doing a rap to Happy Ending, and a choir sang the chorus. Simon said the kids had "added the Mika element with the Happy Ending."

So I don't think there is any evidence that Simon has ever disliked Mika.

In an interview Mika said that when he was young and was still trying to find a producer Cowell told him he had an amazing voice and gave him his number. Mika tried to call him every day for the following 2 months, and even used his friends' numbers, but he never answered...

And apart from that, I think what Mika dislikes in general is his approach, which is not the approach of someone really interested in good music for the sake of good music but just the approach of someone who just wants the artist to sell a lot of copies. :)

 

Edit: oh, and he probably was irritated by his hypocrisy, calling him 'my friend', stuff like that when he never really cared about him or his music :)

When MIKA became a huge star, Cowell probably understood his mistake, and could hardly avoid him either :teehee: Imo, it wasn't till then he accepted MIKA and his music :naughty:
