I'm sure it will be -- I'm think you can find ANY thing on youtube, or if not there, SOMEwhere on the internet! Good night, Night Owl Mika Buddies! dcdeb

It's true, they usually just have barely enough time to sing one. And Lollipop was a special treat! I'm glad that they let Cherisse have a chance to show her pretty face, finally! dcdeb

I was taping also, but like I said, didn't get all of Lollipop -- my local channel must have cut off the feed early. And thanks, that's the site I was looking at, but I don't see Mika up there yet. Maybe by tomorrow -- they probably don't expect people to go straight from the TV to the computer to look for the act they just watched! LOL! dcdeb

But I didn't get all of Lollipop, did you? It cut off to OPRAH before the end! dcdeb

Definitely! And was he saying that the whole performance will be on his website later? I don't see anything there yet. And yes, thanks for staying up with me, too! dcdeb

LOL! As we're killing time waiting... I'm just sitting here wondering how Paulina can look as good now as she did 20 years ago! Sheesh!

Thanks -- but I know I have a somewhat obsessive personality. I was afraid this would happen... you should see how bad I've gotten with myspace! I blame Mika dcdeb

It would be really nice if Paulina came out and said, "I'm really not that interesting and I know you all want to see Mika, so let's just skip talking with me now..." What are the odds? dcdeb

OOoh... Just as an aside... I just noticed that I hit 100 posts! And to think when I joined I said I probably wouldn't have time to post much! dcdeb

LOL! Somehow, that doesn't make me feel better! LOL!

You know about Thursday morning on Good Morning, America, right Lissy? There will be at least a short interview then -- we just have to watch and wait for it sometime between 7 and 9 a.m., I think... dcdeb

OK, I hate to say this... but when I was 16, Donny Osmond WAS the Mika of the day. dcdeb <who is old old old>

Likewise -- I've never watched him before either. And I'm not really a Jenny McCarthy fan... but, oh well...

I hear ya! I'll be up at 5:30 a.m. to get my son off to school... but I can't miss Mika! dcdeb

I'm glad to read someone else noticed, too! I thought maybe I was imagining things! dcdeb

I understand what you mean, no worries, and thought that might be the case! I just didn't want you to miss the program! I forgot that Jimmy Kimmel doesn't start until midnight here. ARrrgh. An extra half-hour to wait! dcdeb

Where are you looking, titania? On the ABC website, it says tonight -- http://abc.go.com/latenight/jimmykimmel/index?pn=guests It was originally supposed to be Thursday, I guess, but there was a conflict with the gig in NYC. It was only just a few days ago that they announced the Tuesday night appearance. I hope it IS tonight -- I'm ready! dcdeb

Yep, there are a few of us. Maybe we need a better public relations department! LOL! dcdeb

Best Buy version's two acoustic tracks are Love Today and Satellite. Target version's two acoustic tracks are Billy Brown and My Interpretation. Perhaps there are other versions out there? Those were the only two places I looked today. dcdeb

Well, aren't you clever?! But 22.50? Let's see... in US$ that would be...$44.22?!! plus shipping! Umm... maybe not dcdeb

Hey Shontih! I've been wondering about you all day! So glad you're OK and that you had a good time! Can't wait to see pix! dcdeb

That is absolutely brilliant, fantastic, amazing... words fail me! Thank you so very much for sharing it! dcdeb

Me too. And I haven't been able to find *where* he's allegedly said this... you know, the original source or interview. This random quote about Scissor Sisters just seems to have "appeared" -- it hasn't been in ANY of the articles that I've read in the last few weeks, and certainly not in the last few days. And believe me, I've been reading A LOT! It really seems to me that someone is trying to manufacture a public feud between Mika and SS. Unless I can find a reputable source for the quote, I'm not buying it. As a writer I especially hate to see people with questionable journalism standards. dcdeb

I couldn't have said it better. Thanks, Sivan, and we ARE here, whenever you need us! dcdeb

OK... my last post for the afternoon, I have to get some work done! But I just now saw this and since it's very positive, and SPIN is a pretty big magazine here in the US, thought it was worth sharing: http://www.spin.com/features/band_of_the_day/2007/03/070327_mika/ March 27, 2007 Mika Who? Oscillating between the personas of witty rogue and bubblegum pop diva in the blink of an eye, Mika (born Michael Holbrook Penniman) has exploded onto the British music scene with a number one album, Life in Cartoon Motion. Born in Beirut, frequent relocation (as a young child, his family fled war torn Lebanon), bullying at school and family stress (his father was once taken hostage at Kuwait's American Embassy) caused the singer to seek solace in music. He received formal training at the Royal College of Music in London and was also coached by a Russian opera instructor. Before he turned 21, Mika was performing and recording music with the Royal Opera House. On the commercial side, he's written in-flight music for British Airways and even a jingle for Orbit chewing gum. Now 23, his song "Love Today" currently is finally hitting American shores via a Verizon Wireless commercial. What's the Deal? Mika's devastatingly powerful voice simultaneously evokes early Elton John, a sober George Michael and the androgynous quality of the Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears. "Love Today" suggests the latter's sexually charged falsetto vocals, while the U.K. hit "Grace Kelly" recalls John's growling, sexually suggestive vocal style coupled with heavy harmonization and a killer chorus melody. The unabashed and almost gratuitous pop nature of tracks like "Lollypop" and "Relax (Take It Easy)" bring to mind something that Norwegian electronic songstress Annie would offer. Any way you slice it, each and every track on Life in Cartoon Motion will have your ass shaking in one direction or another. Fun Fact: Mika is terrified of sharks and water. When asked in a recent interview about what freaks him out Mika said, "Well, just anything that's in the water. I hate water. I'll go to the beach and pretend but I won't go in. What's underneath you is really deep. It freaks me out. I probably would eat dog poo or eat dinner with Prince Harry for £1million but I wouldn't swim with fish. TIFFANY WAN
