Showtunes17 replied to FREDDIESDOUBLE's topic in General Chin Wagging
ooo astute thread!! I wouldn't mind contributing as i've always wanted to answer questions for people who learn English as a second language. soo Bump -
Hey guys Edit: I hope this era isn't over and we'll get at least another song a video but boy does it look like this era dwindling to a fast halt This new Kick ass song needs to come ASAP to resurrect us and Mika..
-
i know right!! The finale would have been better, that's the Saturday before the release But any promo is good at this point
-
Exactement! EDIT just released he'll be on there :eek: That is huge promo !!
-
*hint hint*

I'm looking at the midweeks for the album and Paulo nutini is going to be peak at No.1 again after he only performed on Jools Holland's NYE show... See what promo can do for you! And Paulo isn't having that much success with his singles either!
-
You're so welcome and i'll sure will and many people have helped contribute to this thread and they've kept the thread alive so And we've got more to talk about now, with the official date release for BIOTG. Will Mika be at the brits this year? It's on one day after the release date..
-
LOL, i hear that a lot! I like the album , i'm huge David Guetta fan aswell so maybe that's why i love the sound they went with on the E.N.D.
-
:roftl: YES! I watched your video and where you were seemed more lively lool. I was on the other side of the river, just near the London eye @ Waterloo [shorter exit ].
-
And also I'd like to wish everyone a belated Happy New year!!! Hope you've had a great start to the year so far and may 2010 bring much fun and joy for the remainder of the year!
-
Soooooooooo true! I have the same experiences with that song and plus I gotta feeling was even played before the fireworks were set in London for NYE and everyone was singing along to the song! It really is a crowd song - it'll get them pumped instantly! I can't hate on BEPs, i've been a fan since Where is the love and have all their albums - seeing them in May @ o2

I'd love to claim it as my own term but it's not

Lady Gaga is just an oddball - it's not just music with her but it's her personality so people are buying into her image and then music later. She has been getting a lot of promotion, as she should she is a new artist so she has to appear everywhere to remain relevant. Mika was the same with LICM, he had more urgency and push when he came out. I'm thinking this time round, Mika is going through the second album syndrome for people outside the core Mika fans...
-
Lady Gaga was big in the UK/Europe first before the US, same with Kings of Leon, The Killers etc.
-
I'm not put under-pressure to conform and yes we'll leave it at that! And you're right US Acts get more promo push but European music industry is now much sort after to concur than the US in recent years. I read an article about this last year with stats and all about the shift in change but google is not being my friend atm!

I just wanted to post a reply to this part of your comment There is a misconception with the Sharia Law. It's not aimed for anyone other than people who follow the Islamic faith and even then it's a voluntary option. And it will not get an official status in the UK, it's only among consenting Muslim people. And to also add i really enjoyed the discussion in this thread about Mika's progression so far in the TBWKTM era. And i'll like to add that i think that despite what has been said, Europe is now the major target in the Music Industry not the US anymore and it's just a shame Mika is promoting other parts of Europe rather than the UK ^^ P.s. loved his performance on La chanson de l'anee 2009
-
I know!! I soo likened Rain to Relax but this time he released Rain as a second single unlike what he did with Relax but it failed for some reason! Ah well LICM was always going to be hard to top!
-
^^ I agree - more watched tv shows and even radio. Like radio Lounge. He should do a full set ar radio 1 lounge, cover a song and some tracks off TBWKTM will get people more interested. He didn't even do the Jingle ball weekend - where most of the UK artists did. I was surprised he didn't make sure he was on that :/ He doesn't even need to go to on Jonathon Ross for an interview - he can just go on - to perform.

I'm kinda disappointed with the way this era has gone for Mika. He has made 3 videos, 2 single releases yet it only seems like he has fully promoted one song in the UK and that was WAG. Now with the The brit awards coming round the corner, you would expect someone like Mika who released his album in mid sept would be in contention for Best Male but that seems like a far cry now! Promotion is the only downfall in the era thus far as the album is great! He didn't make himself relevant in the UK. As much as i appreciate how he is doing in France, in no way should that become his major Market. If he put as much energy into his promotion in the UK as he had down in France - he may have been more successful! He is performing more shows there than in the UK. Is the demand higher in France some may ask? Yes but it's his job and also his PR team to create the demand in the UK. One full promo single [WAG] and lacklustre promotion of Rain and a promo single [bIOTG] isn't going to help you succeed here! I wonder what's going to happen to the album now - will he release more singles and do a re-release to boost the album? Something needs to be pushed behind the scenes because from where i am standing - him and his team are neglecting the promotion of TBWKTM here in the UK, such a waste for all the hard work put into the album!
-
I agree, he promoted much harder during LICM he was not complacent. Will repost what i said about this ten pages ago..
-
It'd be too stupid to call him a has been - he is only on his 2nd album. It's getting really good reviews but just not performing well as people would like it to be. If the album was crap AND performing badly THEN the press would be ON him. Also nothing is missing...There is no way getting away from the facts - he isn't selling well both album and single wise atm. Lack of promotion is the key reason why.
-
Well i'm sorry but that is definitely what is happening here... Exactly
-
Even as fans it's good to dissect these things...despite how depressing it is. I'm ride or die for Mika.
-
No...it's just Mika is not relevant enough atm...at least. Not enough that even when he is "flopping" which he is in the UK...the media probably think people don't care enough to read about it. Well they certainly don't care enough to buy his new album/single
-
Also When Mika first came out he came out earlier in the year. Whereas with TBWKTM, the competition is always high in the final quarter of the year. LICM didn't have much competition and the roll on effect of performing at all the festivals helped etc. I blame this ALL on promotion imo.
