Gotta love the Jo Whiley Live Lounge pictures! Simply the best (imo) :wub2:

*cough*yourenottheonlyone!*cough*

It looks so great! Some letters made me laugh, some made me cry.. They're all absolutely fantastic! Gotta love the decorations! Too bad, I didn't know about this earlier.. Not that I would have the guts to send Mika a letter tho Anyway, It looks really, really great!

Bonjour! and Welcome I'm sure you will love it here!

Now, that would make a great dvd!! Thanks!

Uhm, I'm really sorry but didn't the Winter Concert Series already take place?

clickie! BTW: I'm not sure, but perhaps you can still get it from I Tunes?

Omg, I feel the same way.. ! Seriously, this made me cry! I do never, ever want to read the words "murdered/killed" and "Mika" in one sentence again. It made me feel.. erm..lets say "uncomfortable". People who say Mika must die because he won't talk about his sexual preference are just fookin' insane! Friggin' weirdos! Really scary! I have the feelin' I need puke or something..

That made my day! Thank you soo much! Gotta love the piano and stool part!

I'm a bit confused.. Does it mean that I can only watch the webcast on the 4th of April?

I would ask him if he could teach me the sound he does on Love Today (the pom-po-popom thingie ) Because I can't do it! (quite traggic isn't it?) And what he misses the most when he's on tour.. And what he likes the most now that he's famous [or something like that]

Wasn't it about people pronouncing his name, (Mica) as Mee-cha.. that's why he changed it to Mika??

Ohmigod, Please tell me this is not about what I think it is!

I agree! Comparing to other gigs this one is (too) expensive!!

HAHAHAHA!!! :roftl: That's sooo cute!! Thanks!

I know I should be banned for saying this but I think I like the I Tunes cover more (the one with the flowers) I'm not saying this is one ugly tho!

I once had a tamagothci.. it died.. so I threw it away because I thought it would never come to live again.. I was absolutely devastated! I would love to have another one.. but I don't think you can buy them in Holland anymore.. (at least, I can't find them anywhere)

I love his plans for the future! Thanks Martine!

Aww!! They're cute! Especially number 6 Thanks curly!

If I have to be honest: it is not what I expected it to be! I thought it would be more cartoon-ish It's not that I don't like it! But like i said, it's just not what I expected Anyway, I really LOVE it!!

Omg! I can't stop smiling!! :D I LOVE IT!! thank you!

Oh that's so great!! Thank you very much for posting that!

Ah, too bad. The video "is not available in your area"

Thank you! I've edited it

As promised, here is the translation of the interview he had with the dutch Veronica Magazine As you might notice, there are some words which I coloured red.. I'm sorry, but i don't know the right translation for those words --- Mika the new Mercury? He created an anthem for big girls, is being compared to Freddie Mercury and scores a hit with Grace Kelly. Mika (23) is ready to conquer the world with confetti and coloured balloons. The gigs of Micheal Holbrook Penniman, better known as Mika, are equally colourful and flamboyant as the cover of his debut-album Life in Cartoon Motion. While girls with Alice in Wonderland-dresses and blond wigs run through the London club Koko, Mika enters the stage. The singer of Lebanese and Amercian roots has been the favourite of gay people, renowned music journalists and.. well, almost everyone. Musically he's comparable to Justin Hawkins and -why not- Freddie Mercury. Heself understands why: "I think that Freddie and I have the same context: parents from several cultures, education with traditional music, a fascination for opera... I have never been a Queen-fan: I was too young for that. But what I find weird is that I collect Japanese art, Japanese toys and maquettes of opera houses just like Mercury did. Also I regularly go on holiday to cities with famous opera houses; he did the same" Also Queen-gitarist Brian May sees the similarities. The old stager stands on a little balustrade while he watches Mika treats his public with some vocal gymnastics. After the performance he will say to Mika that he finds him very talented. That the young singer has a lot of power in his voice and his charisma and that this can lead to massive things. When Mika tells this to us the next day, he still gets shy. Dancing bears. Mika's life wasn't always about roses. After he moved from Paris to London, he fell in a black hole.. He hated school and even decided to stop talking. "In Paris I had an exceptional live, in London it was completely different. I entirely tensed up. Fortunately my parents took me from school very quickly. Eventually I staid home for seven months. In that period I started to begin writing music." Mika also took lessons at a singcoach. "It wasn't just lalala, but really achtletic learns to use your voice. You could call it Russian Hardcore training" And he learned the most important lesson in life: Always have fun! "You should never lose your fantasy! I see life as Disneyland for adults. completely with dancing bears. I try to let that flow into my music. I work with a small notebook; one half is full with texts, the other one with little drawings. I even colour them! It seems more of a colourbook than a notebook. If i hear melodies, in my mind I see these dancing girls with blue corsets, you know?" Barbra Streisand As a kid Mika was already obsessed with melodies. His favourite game was to listen to a song and then think of an even better melody! And he realised he had a really good voice: "Better than a lot of other kids.. But then: I worked with it like a maniac! Somewhere in me there is this Barbra Streisind kind of Jewish mum that only wants to improve and continue. I'm not an easy quiter" Yet, Mika can hardly listen to himself. Singing is for him a way to tell his stories; all tricks he does with his voice need to add something to the stories. "The 'vocal-masturbation' that Christina Aguilera does is boring!!" "I make music because I want to say something.. I want to take you to my fantasies.." --- There is a picture of Billy Brown (from the album cover), Lollipop Girl (very small) and Mika (which i'm not giong to add because i'm sure everyone has seen it already it's the promo pic where he stands on his feet.. or something like that.. ) for the dutchies: het artikel in het Nederlands That's it! xX Zahara.
