Daily 33

 

Mika is not present in this Daily. But, if you like, in this video there's the moment when Mario comes back in his country, near the city of Olbia, Sardinia. The video is very tender, you can see where Mario comes from, a small country, in a quite difficult region to live, without many jobs possibilities. You can see the "wind turbines", those huge propellers that are used to harness the energy of the wind and create electricity, where Mario worked before losing his job and trying to enter in XF. You can see the country's small theater, where Mario sings for the first time, and all the people who could not enter, but followed him outside, in the cold, on a big screen. His family, his friends, his emotion.

P.S. So happy for the news!!!

 

Thanks a lot for sharing !! :huglove:

It's a heart warming video, I've never known that Mario lost his job for XF8.

Was there ever a video of just Emma singing Walking on Broken Glass from a few weeks ago? I've seen bits and pieces here and there, but never saw her sing the whole song from start to finish. I know the full episode is online, but I didn't want to spend that much time -- just wanted to see that 5 minutes or so. Is it out there and I missed it? :blink:

You rock, Eriko!

 

 

I can't believe how much I loved her, she's so special. :wub2:

 

Yes, indeed. I thought maybe she was a little bit pitchy on this, but she was so clearly enjoying it, and she just sparkles on stage -- IMO at least. I'm not a fan of Madh, everything he does sounds the same to me. :dunno: Same with Ilaria. I don't expect him to win, but Mario really showed me something when he sang his own composition the other day -- I really enjoyed that side of him, and that song, very much.

 

Still, I do believe Lorenzo will be the winner. If Italian voters are anything like the voters on the American shows like this (i.e. teenage girls), they almost always go for the cute, safe white boy. :doh:

Luca Tommassini on Instagram:

"Working nearly non-stop for Thursday's final...

Here's a design inspired by Jean Cocteau's drawings for the piano of one of our performers ;P"

 

a) PIANO

b) these drawings

This blew me away on so many levels.

I totally agree with you.

 

Unfortunately Italian voters are exactly so.But not only them: media, press, radio, social media, etc. etc., say that Mario didn't deserve the final and doesn't deserve to win because he isn't interesting.At DeeJay Chiama Italia, in the interview with the four finalists, while with the others three they have talked about music, they have asked Mario if Mika esteems him, because they have a different aesthetic canon: Mika is super dandy and he is...a man in the street (literally=l'uomo della strada), and this is why the people vote him.:shocked:

Excuse me, I'm stupid or in a talent show of singing should count if you can sing and interpret well, and provoking emotion, and not the physical appearance and what you wear?Thank goodness that our most important Italian songwriters, "who sang/sing in Italian", haven't started now, they would not have a chance!

I want to tell the truth, in the beginning I didn't like Mario, but now I can't stop listening to his Horizon song. After knowing him better as I person I started to consider him handsome (his beard makes his eyes and his whole appearance more expressive and beautiful) and interesting.

If Lorenzo wins, it will be another boring Tesorino :sneaky2: His song was OK, but there are lots of such songs on the radio, and one doesn't even knows the names of all those people who sings such kind of songs. And as for his appearance... boooring

I think that these comments are also the result of the Emma's exit from the show.

To see Mario in the final and not Emma, has angered many people, because between Emma and Mario, it was clear that Emma was superior.

But I think it's a mistake to compare Emma only with Mario, because Emma is superior to all the other competitors.

She had to be there in the final, however. :aah: It's absurd, the whole show has lost much credibility with her exclusion.

For the rest, I find it simplistic to think that Mario is voted just because he is tender, or because he lost his job and people feel sorry for his situation. People are not stupid at all: there is something of Mario that has affected the public. Mario is not perfect, but he is a classic italian singer and songwriter, credible and capable. He has a sincere story to tell. He's very communicative, he has not fear and he can improve a lot. After XF, he can build a more solid career than those of the other competitors. :wink2:

It seems that Mika and the other judges will be at Radio Deejay at 11.30

If you wanna watch the program here's the link http://www.deejay.it/tv/

 

I could only listen to the last 2 minutes, I was walking my dog! :aah:From the few information I got, he will sing together with a gospel choir and with the contestants, and he'll sing a bit of a song we already know (I think he might refer to BBB) and a part of a new song, and I think he said that they recorded this sort of medley and that it's gonna be available for purchase on iTunes (they'll donate all the money to UNICEF). I think I got it right! :teehee:

So it's more about a snippet than a proper single, right now, isn't it?

I'll wait for the recording. I need to understand this :shocked:

Who's willing to share the subtitling job?

 

Awwwwww thank you :wub2:

 

And thanks everyone for reporting! :flowers2: So curious to hear the song, sounds it will be only snippets and not a whole song/single but it will hopefully give a picture of his new music...

I can help you if you want me to.:blush-anim-cl: I finally have some time out, today! :thumb_yello:

 

Ok, Mika starts from minute 9.40. I'll take the first five minutes, you can take the following 5, and I'll ask Laura to do the final 5. Is that ok?

 

PS the audio track has some gaps. We'll do our best.

 

I'm working on it right now, I'll post it what I get but I do advice you to watch the subtitled video as I can't really check on my work so there could be quite a few mnistakes

 

- How are you doing?

- I've been upt till 4.45 in studio

- Yes, he's working like crazy

- You are crazy!

- Oh boy

- Where? In London?

- No, yesterday night I was in Metropolis cause [...] and we said "Let's do a live version, to get out this year.... tonight. " So we took the mix of yesterday reharsal and it eventually wasn't that good, so I went [...] to record the live version for tonight in order to put in on I Tunes. So, if everything goes according to the plan... and it got elaborated during the night in Los Angeles, we were waiting like that...

- Back in the day you couldn't do such things. That's so cool.

- There are 47 voices

- 47 voices???

- even a gospel one. It's a new song

- ah!

- it's a little snippet, a preview of a song that's called Good Guys, which gets mixed with Happy ending

- beautiful!

- Cause we started with Happy Ending, they wanted me to sing [...] but let's do this little test.

- we can play one mroe track

- I can't wait!

- I can

- What a nice sweather

- They gave this to me. Unbelievable.

- What's that

- (Victoria's talking about a ferret that bit her hand and poohed on her)

- (Linus introducing Mika)

- In the meantime Mika has arrived. For the first time I see him with a five o'clock shadow, uncombed hair, and dressed like a guy who just got out of his home. Thank God! Cause every time you come here

- I'm in a pijamas

- Right! Every time you come here I get some "I'm bad dressed" complex

So I take the part that goes from 9:40 'till 14:40. Am I right? Are we doing subtitles or a simple translation?

Ps. I'll start as soon as I can watch the video in streaming, my wifi gives me a hard time trying to downloading it...
