I always find that it's difficult to keep a tamagotchi alive when one's abroad. If nothing else dealing with time differences of being in America and Canada one day and Europe the next puts a strain on my little nano creature! I think that it's very good parent training tho! shows there's never a moment not to be watching it to make sure it's fed etc. Guess it shows Mika will probably be a great parent!

Massive improvement since the last time i checked - up 10% from 21 to 31! Let's keep up the good work guys!

have to say i find the story a bit unlikely...sounds a bit far-fetched, no? I mean the Take That tour turned out to be press speculation with no real basis in fact...makes a good story tho! Somehow I just can't see Mika subjecting himself to Terry Wogan's onslaught!

Hey - I'm pretty sure I heard the end of Love Today on Scott Mills programme on Radio 1 in the UK? Did anybody else? Going to listen to Scott's show again tomorrow and hopefully he'll play Love Today again!

Fork makes sense....it's somewhat archaic but one can "fork" out a living, or fork out a defence etc... It's DEFINITELY fork guys...it's been confirmed by the guy who sings with him on the record check it out - if you're on facebook search for a group called 'Mika - life in cartoon motion'

I wonder if Over My Shoulder will be on the end of Happy Ending over in the US?

Quite surprised by this idea that artists should have to pad out their set with covers of other people's work. I would have thought that if you went to a concert that you'd want to hear music by that artist not him/her doing covers of other people's songs...I remember going to the Feeling's concert and admittedly they did a cover of Radio Ga Ga - which was perhaps the best song that night...but mika's songs are going to be better than any covers...so what's the point? Also the comment about the setlist being the same as the 'free' concerts is a bit misleading...they may have been 'free' but there wasn't guaranteed entry...in other words people paid tonight for the privilege of getting in to see what, from the looks of photos already on the web...was pretty spectacular! I'm sure Mika must have tons more songs that didn't make it onto the album, for a start we know of 'satellite' which was on the Grace Kelly 7". But at the same time...I can just imagine the complaints people would make if he performed songs which weren't available on the album or in single format...it seems perfectly sensible that on what is ultimately his first proper UK tour he should do no more than just the songs on the album. I went to the show he did in Brighton ages ago and we were ecstatic at the end of that...and it only had 6/7 songs! 10 songs is a luxury I'm yet to experience!

if it's true that Mika's gone platinum with his first single/album - then it doesn't really matter how many weeks he stays at the top...the number of sales demonstrates just how amazing people think his music is!

So the talking really spoilt Over My Shoulder then? Or was it just annoying? Wish I'd been there! *note to self...must buy tickets to these gigs early!!* Apparently Brian May was there! Legend!

This has been posted on the facebook group Mika - Life in Cartoon Motion which is run by the guy who's on the album singing the backing vocals to Over my shoulder:

I agree with the point raised about Relax - ultimately Mika has done something amazing - the fact it's possible to write a song about the 7/7 attacks on London whilst also making a cool song is quite a huge achievement in my mind.

Sorry to have gotten your hopes up but I'm not Mika! I just like the 'Over My Shoulder' song and noticed that there was some confusion over the words

In the Over My Shoulder lyrics the word you're unsure of is not "fog" but "fork". Enjoy!
