Akim

He/she has been wrong saying that , but not everyone will like him .... thank god for the MFC and his fans im sure he knows who his main peeps are

No he/she isn't wrong to say this, as its their opinion- no matter how flawed it is...

I always refrain from sprouting profanities, but this had my blood boiling...really some people!

We say: They had to give him something just to shut him up.

ok I'm dissing my own post but Gata, what does your sig. mean?

eeewww!!!

"standing uppers"

I must be completely off track then...I thought he meant stand up comedians

Hi, I just voted...I was really rooting for Mika as we've heard how hard he has worked on the presentation.

He wasn't bad; but the duet with Beth ditto didn't really work...at all. He was ill as well, which accounts for his wavering voice and made me cringe at times- on the whole he didn't do a bad job. I think he should have had his band on the stage with him, he may have relaxed a bit at the times where he looked uncomfortable...

I'm so gutted he didn't get the Best Male award, he really deserved that along with the British Breakthrough Act- oh well the fight with the industry continues...

Come on Gata! Tally up....

No Mika interviews

I wouldn't be surprised if Mika's left the building...he looked so gutted and rightly so!! Mika SHOULD have won best male...not Mark Ronson. I think even Mark would agree with that.

One consolation is that he recieved the breakthrough artist...on second thoughts- that's not enough to swallow the disappointment....

You know what Mika? I think you're going to get it!!

Ok Rach; you are responsible for a lot of headache here!! I'm useless at predicting anything, so with the help from my friend, Felicia- we have come up with this list...

(Most of it has been decided by factors like who the voters are, record sales, position in charts etc etc...yeh yeh I know we're not getting paid for it- but its a serious business you know:wink2: )

Thanks Starrats !! Yup Akim .... that is a quick, easy & impersonal way !

cheers:thumb_yello:

under every avatar there are 2 icons

 

The green light and this one:

 

click the one that belongs to the post you want to report

Thanks for that!

Quick question:

How do you report a bad post/thread? I remember seeing an option somewhere where you could do that, but i can't find it!!

Thanks...

Its a shame that what started off as advice has turned into an argument: but thats what you get on a forum with more then 7000 members!

There are however some very good pointers: (sorry I will be repeating what has already been said!)

• Specific arguments should be reported; when you have a "third" party with an objective/neutral position the end decision is more easily accepted by both parties.
  
• There was adivce suggesting to "avoid" threads/posts where you feel you are being attacked, victimised etc- it really isn't worth letting yourself getting upset over eps. when you hardly know the person (in most cases that is) and EVERYONE is entitled to their opininon.

I'm surprised that a lot people have said that they haven't noticed much negativity on the forum, I see that as a good thing though (hopefully it suggests that it isn't as widespread) but as someone who has been on the recieving end- I can vouch that there is and it isn't plesant...

On the whole, I find this forum an excellent resource for information (gig reports, Photos, reviews) and opinions- but there's always room to improve- isn't there a section devoted for ideas and suggestions somewhere???

Ha! Those accesories were well put together...and Italians know what they're talking about...of course it helps that Mika is a natural model:thumb_yello:

Christine made an interesting point. Mika is always looking at ways to improve, (I suppose its part of his work ethic:mf_rosetinted:) which is why you have the cameraman asking questions etc etc...I really don't think that he'd mind this observation/suggestion of JackViolet's and seeing as there a lot of people who are in agreement he probably would take notice.

I got a txt from MIKA asking you to vote for him at the BRITS, but I didn't get charged for it.

Perhaps you get charged for replying to it i.e. voting by text??

Thats not a bad idea..., but how will you decide what to have and not have- or will it include everything that gets sent it? Some of the reviews are repetitive (excluding personal tid-bits etc), will you chop some bits out etc...?

Awww, no-ones picking on Mika- he isn't doing anything wrong, as far as I can tell it's just constructive critism- how one can better oneself, or reach their potential etc, etc...

but I love those pictures of ice, terrifyingly beautiful...

Nice try but I don't do flowers. I am a Radiohead fan. I only want misery and gloom, thanks:mf_rosetinted:

I take it all back...
