This is horrible !! I had finished it and the pc closed everything without sending it !!!
Ok... Let's go... Again !
Music ! And a discovery for the public with Mika ! His name may not ring a bell to you, but you won't be able to avoid him : his melodies and his colourful and very 70's-ish universe made this young singer, in a few months, the new pop music favourite. Olivier Menuzza, Mathieu Birden.
Girls are fond of him. Boys dance. Fashion fights for him. Singer, author, n°1 all around Europe, he's sold-out everywhere, like here in Dublin.
(i'm not sure if you can hear the girls speaking English behind the oral translation... Let me know if you can't...).
He was born in Beirouth in 1984 (ouch !), at the climax of the war splitting Lebanon. A year after he was born, his family runs away to France. At the age of 9 he leaves Paris to London... Oh, and i forgot, his passport is American.
"When i was living in Paris, we were listening to Fairouz, and Um Kalthoum, and Egyptian music, and after that, we were listening to Serge Gainsbourg and Nina Simone. So i feel as if i can, i have the ease and the right to mix every elements of every culture.
This is what happens before each show... It's a bit ridiculous..."
Biggest producers fought to make a deal with him.
(I love his giggling... And i have it !!! )
His still doesn't take himself seriously.
"We're a circus. We're clowns !"
A clown who joins the Royal Opera at 12, The Royal College of Music at 19... Respect.
"I got the deal to make the album at the same time i was at the Royal College of Music, studying to Bach and Fauré."
He was supposed to marry a lyric career, he chose pop music. Flirting with Freddie Mercury, the Bee Gees. What if Mika was simply... unclassable ?
I think it's a bit impressive that he got a report in the national news !! It's very good for him ! Now they all know him !
