  1. That's because I assume it is different people who wrote those two reviews. it's not that the Guardian needs to align on what they think of an album - they simply publish those.
  2. @nanuk That's a nice find. Thanks for posting it and Rosa, thank you for the translation
  3. Do you have links to the interview, please. I missed it last night and I can't access the podcast from outside the UK....
  4. I have cut them all and insterted them into Robi's new thread containing critics reviews only.
  5. actaully, I didn't mean the wording but his reasoning / the content. Your translation is fine. He may be a good writer but doesn't come across to me as knowledgeable on music. of course that's just one piece he may have been reluctant to write so I could be wrong, that's only my first impression ..
  6. HEre are the ones from the othert thread: Critic reviews BBC review http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/xcq4 Entertainment (Ireland) by Louise Bruton http://entertainment.ie/album-review...ove/140361.htm The Guardian by Caroline Sullivan http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/oct/04/mika-origin-of-love-review?newsfeed=true Q Magazine (UK) by Andrew Harrison http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3805079&postcount=154 Under the Gun Review (US) by Grace Duffy http://www.underthegunreview.net/201...rigin-of-love/ - or http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3805856&postcount=1
  7. ok, thanks for letting me know.

    I'll post the links on that thread, too, so that you can update first post

  8. He may be serious but not knowlegeable for sure. It would show up in what he writes, whether he likes something or not... first page updated - I created a separate section for fan critics from the net
  9. I don't think any of Mika's songs sound like everything else that is on the radio. If they were though, I think it would work to Mika's disadvantage as he is so different in voice and personality from the rest. I also believe that some of his singles failed because there was a real or assumed attempt to make them sound like everything else on the radio and it did not work as they ended up with an in-between product.
  10. He is trying to concentrate on his singing now... Good boy:teehee:
  11. I really am about to fall asleep from this music...
  12. why am I not surprised...maybe with the next single. So, what's the twitter strategy for tonight and Monday?
  13. It was at the Grammy's in 2009, I think. He said that in public always single and added that in private - that's something else..etc
  14. In general, I have a problem with rating songs but I'll do it anyway, perhaps with some explanations. me, neither, so I'll post my view on them next week, after I have heard them.
  15. @Demoment1608 thank you so much for the files - they are still downloading and will take a while @ Karin and Saskia, It sounds like you turned the show into something fun to watch. Besides you having a great time I am absolutely sure you have contributed to a positive reception of Mika's new album in Germany. Well done:thumb_yello:
  16. I like your review. It's good to see you back
  17. that was 3 years ago and an earlier breakup in the same relationship, I think. I am not sure if the 'emotionally killing a man' part referred to the same person though. He did say something similar at the end of 2010 /early 2011 as well, didn't he.
  18. I meant to ask it earlier but I keep forgetting: do you remember when that happened? I think it must have been early 2011 or was it even before?
  19. I have just checked and you only seem to have posted a critics review only and I didn't feel it significant enough to add... (I had this plan to add only the long and proper critic reviews to the first post as I expect there to be many coming up, and keep all the rest on the thread. Plus, all fan reviews, of course) I can add the Swedish one, though, not a problem. When is your review, btw? sorry to sound demanding
  20. I'll read this again later today. All I remember is that the score she gave was not justified or explained to me in her actual review. So I agree the score and what she wrote is rather contradictory.
  21. If we talk about scores, the second album actually received some mellow reception with average scores, unlike the first one. The first album did grab people' attention for sure. It was that different. A pop star can only arrive at the music scene once though, the rest are always comebacks . So I think it is the right direction to try to do something else rather than try to repeat the first album as there is no way he can. You can only step into the same river once. How one feels about an album is rather subjective, of course, it may even change on a daily basis.
  22. Well, I what record she would rate as 10 if this one scores only 6 for her... She has a good point on the 'less layered' comment coming from Mika earlier as that' s not what tbe record ended up like - only to its benefit though. Anyway, even though she may find this record boring () , all in all, it is a good review and she seems to be familiar with Mika' earlier releases, too. Perhaps her feeling bored comes from somewhere else / different expectations. I'll link this to the critics reviews tomorrow: it is one of the few that talks about the record itself.
