Stephane Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I was reading the paper in the tube over my neighbour's shoulder when I saw Mika at the end I asked her if she could give me the paper and she did You can find the article online but this part is missing : "Fascinating facts about Mika" -Mika is one of the faces for Paul Smith's spring/summer campaign -The artwork for his music is very important and he designs it with his sister -He may be classically trained but Mika denies being the male version of Myleene Klass -He has yet not been invited to tea by Sir Elton John -He speaks 3 languages and learned Chinese for 9 years -Despite writing songs about lots of characters, Mika wouldn't like a musical made from his songs -His name means plastic bag in Moroccan according ti Mika Then you have a big article from Malcolm Mackenzie And above all a link to the video interview and you can also find the article : http://www.thelondonpaper.com/cs/Satellite/london/music/article/1157144160891?packedargs=suffix%3DArticleController There you go Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yummyme Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 They've done some really nice reviews, The London Paper. Did a really good Captain interview a month or so back if I remember correctly. Anyway, thanks for posting The London Paper is the only paper I like to read! Oh here is a tid-bit from the 10 November issue: IS MIKA THE NEW SCISSOR SISTERS? Pop's great hope for 2007, Mika, was introduced this week. The opera-trained glam rocker is part Russell Brand and a lot Freddie Mercury with a voice that could shatter double-glazing. He is signed to Universal Records (home of Amy Winehouse and Sugababes) and is soon to be the face of Paul Smith - he is that cute. Your heard it here first! And I did!

I feel quite special now. Ooh... Sunny, do you know mika? Hehe, so am I. Now I want to see him speaking Chinese, lol. Something else, I actually think it would be neat for there to be a musical using his songs. Aww that he doesn't like the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
