First time, Perez, but I didn't listen to the song as I had decided that we didn't have the same taste in music; I knoow! I make amends! Second time, allegedly, from my friend, and allegedly, I did not pay attention, but I really don't remember! So she claims the title of the first person who introduced me to him, but I really doubt that as there were a lot of us around so maybe she made everyone else listen to her ipod but not me. Third time's the charm: saw the video on Musique Plus and it was love at first sight/listen... the chorus is such a hook! So I illegally downloaded it but then of course bought the album And I must say, I never download things illegally, see what Mika makes me do! It was February 17th I think, and my life changed forever. Cue the music!

Sunshine I am sooo happy to have a fellow Montrealer here

Sunshine, in Saturday's La Presse (a Montreal newspaper, precision for non-quebekers) Hugo Dumas said that an unconfirmed rumour says he'll be back in Montreal in September for the Osheaga festival, with the Smashing Pumpkins! Holding my fingers crossed! Oh Mika, if you read this, can how can I put this bluntly? Montreal is where your biggest North American fan base lies, you've been in our Top 5 albums for 3 weeks! Our taste is impeccable!

Really good. He was so at ease! Super cute monkey background! loved it!

Cannot believe I'm suffering through Jay Leno for this man! Don't want to miss his US debut, the market there was CLAWS I worship Tarantino... as a *director*! but the Headlines part at the start was funny!

Congrats Sivan!!!! I hope you get a personal e-mail from Mika soon ! You soo deserve it! I'm so giddy for you! and at the same time mortified because he lurks here to witness all this craziness. Vive le MFC! & I tip my hat to you!

Exactly!! It's so sick. “I’m not creating an enigma or leaving mystery,†he says. (From the above article, and that's what I remembered reading the first time) becomes "There's no enigma" in the Daily Mirror, which ends up being quoted everywhere. And the whole meaning shifts... very interesting lesson in spin.

Ha! Trying to be the Mika of journalists, are we? Well, nice one, congrats. I saw you on Much Music, and it'a a pity your first choice of question, very interesting, was judged too complex for the average viewer attention span. Good luck for the award!

Has anyone else found it weird that cover star Willa Holland is dressed Mika-style in the two-page spread at the beginning of the article about her? See "peek inside the mag" at teenvogue.com... i so need to go to trivia rehab!

Umm... something no one here's evvver thought, for sure! those preteens and their gushing...

I honestly think he's taller than 6'2 because my dad's 6'2 so I know how to approximate, and he was definitely taller, u can see it on my pic - i'm 5'11 in heels and he's still a head taller. Yes, Club Soda was a poor choice in terms of management, but an excellent one for me (and Sunshine)...

I'm 5'11 in heels and he still was quite taller, so I'd say almost 6'4 - he didn't lie!

We could actually go on for DAYS, couldn't we? Point is, everyone, go see him live. Me and my friends had half a mind to follow him to Toronto.

I sooo confirm that! And he has the most beautiful voice...

Oh And yes I was the one saying I want to marry him!

YESS I totally was and just realized who you are as well! So glad to have shared that crazy moment!

Hey Sunshine, I was the really tall one, and on your (and Mika's) left. I'll post a pic as soon as my friend sends it to me. When my camera didn't work, I almost fainted!! I just hope we don't catch a cold from all that freezing rain. Let it never be said that Mika fans are any less than determinated...

I think I saw you... LOL La Fureur IS cheesy!!!!! I agree with everything you said, the man is BEYOND!

AMAAAAAZING!!!!! Waited 1h in the rain to talk to him afterwards, and it was soooooo worth it. He's gorgeous, and so nice. Perfect! I'm walking on air! Must try to get to sleep before sun rises though... Hi to everyone who waited there too, loved sharing the moment with fellow mikamaniacs! xox

Sunshine, I know what you mean, I was in front of my tv and shocked when they said Andree Watters was replacing Mika... But in retrospect: 1- mp3 player! 2- Mika is way too big for La Fureur : i was very surprised that he agreed to it, he should have done Musique Plus instead! 3- See you at the Monday coooncerrrrrrt!!!

The ones I find insightful, spot-on, nuanced, overall beautifully written: Stuck in the Middle: "I look at you, you look at me, we bite each other/And with your bitter words you kick me in the gutter/But my troops are bigger than yours/You'll never stand my fight/(...)/But with my careless words I tread upon your vision" ... "This ain't a plan to break your heart of me" (yes, I do think this song's about family; no, i don't believe it's too personal for us to talk about its meaning, since he's released it and it now belongs in a way to the world) Billy Brown: "Unto religion that he said and duty found/ They didn’t know his faith was earhtly bound" (wonderful) and of course, "cautionary wife" Love today T: "Tries to tell you life has just begun/But you know she's gettin' something other/Than the love from her mother" Happy Ending: "If anything should happen/I guess I wish you well/A little bit of heaven/But a little bit of hell" My Interpretation: "This is my interpretation/And it dont dont make sense" Any Other World: "In any other world/You could tell the difference" ... and of course... GK's "I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky, I could be hurtful, I could be purple I could be anything you like, gotta be green, gotta be mean, gotta be everything more" He's a great writer!

It does that on mine too Thank you sooo much for posting this! I'm from Montreal and going to his show Monday, and hearing him say he's arriving in Canada Saturday made me all giddy!! Not that I'm actually going to check at which hotel he'll stay... hum...

I never really liked his official pics, don't think he looks like himself!

I'm not sure about "become", but the rest is exactly like I hear it!

I thought the same thing... guess everyone's downloading the singles...
