    Q-Music showcase Belgium - 30 September 2012

    in Before the Show

    Posted

    Yes, I like intimate shows as well, very much so even. But I think this one's for the Belgians:naughty:

     

    I wouldn't mind other people coming to this but it would be nice if the Belgian fans who want to go, get their chance before others :wink2: That's just normal. I'm sure you guys felt the same about Amsterdam.

     

    So yes, I'll do everything possible to win and I'll be there either way. :mf_rosetinted:

    Origin of Love - Song and Lyrics Discussion

    in Mika's Music and Artwork

    Posted

    i'm not "shocked" as such by the nudity in the video, it's in fact not unusual to see nowadays, anyway in my country. i just wonder why it was necessary. the scenes would've worked without showing private parts. but in the e-mail mikasounds sent out today the subject said "controversial video" - maybe that's why they did it: to be controversial and to get people talking about it. well, if some guys watch the video because they want to see a naked woman and then start liking mika's song, why not. for me it's defintely enough though to have it watched once. well ok twice, the 2nd time i recorded the song so i don't have to watch the video again to hear it.

     

    I had to laugh when I read that email. Is this video controversial? Seriously? Perhaps if we're talking about how many people like it vs how many people dislike it. I can understand the nudity e.g. might depend on culture / religion. Other than that? :dunno:

    For me it wasn't controversial though and I think it's quite boring they're making this big deal out of it to perhaps attract more attention.

     

    I call it the Meredith Grey School of Acting that seems to be so popular with central female characters in TV today.

     

    Happiness: :blink:

    Anger: :blink:

    Embarrassment: :blink:

    Shock: :blink:

    Lust: :blink:

    Agony: :blink:

    Elation: :blink:

    Fear: :blink:

     

    Yes, I can add quite a few actresses to that list. Though I don't think the girl was that bad. I thought the man, and the nurse in particular were much worse :naughty:

     

     

    But I don't think this video is that complicated of a story -- in fact, it strikes me as fairly straightforward. As I said several pages ago, I believe the woman is in a clinic-type setting getting treatment for an addiction. To me, it appears to be behavior modification using aversion therapy -- they are forcing her to keep her eyes open and watch videos of her good times with her lover, and I'm assuming at the same time they are somehow either medicating her or creating negative feelings in her so that she associates what were formerly happy memories with those bad feelings, thus breaking the addiction to love. It is very "A Clockwork Orange," which, if you've read the book or seen the film, used a similar treatment to break the protagonist of his thug-like ways -- they gave him drugs to make him feel nauseous while making him watch violent films, so that he "learned" new behavior.

     

     

    Ha, I hate that movie :aah:

     

    Anyway, when it comes to movies I prefer the cinematography to the story. The atmosphere, mood, colors, aesthetic aspect, the emotions that are being evoked, the music score etc. are mainly what makes me love a movie.

    Based on that I can say I don't like this film, I find the result just plain ugly. :dunno: MYH was much better imo.

     

    I liked the dog though.

    Tah Dah - New Song and Discussion

    in Mika's Music and Artwork

    Posted

    I like both songs but I wouldn't mind having even a third version of MYH. :teehee: To me it is a song that one can play with - unlike Celebrate, for example. I don't understand why there are more versions of it on the album. As for Tah Dah , that one sounds really cool to me and that is why I don't feel the need to hear ianother mix of it...:dunno: So to me it is a more complex picture than liking the song or not. :teehee:

     

    Well, maybe your wish will come true. On the Belgian Itunes, the deluxe album says "French version" for MYH :dunno: I can't play a preview yet for that one though.

    I'd be happy with both version, actually but I really hope I can get the French songs as well :') Especially "Karen", I just LOVE it :') I understand that as Dutch speaker, you might not really need the songs in French ^^

     

    Anyway, as Belgium has French speakers but is NOT France, I doubt we'll get the French edition. I guess the UK one is more likely. However, I think British fans'll probably order the CD online if versions similar/identical to the Uk one are released in September.. The CD might then become *strangely* better sold in Netherlands/ France than in UK HAHA xD

     

    I don't mind the French songs! I love French music, I listen to Raphaël Haroche e.g. all the time :teehee: It's just that I would prefer the acoustic versions of the songs :wub2:

    "The Origin of Love" - the pieces of a puzzle

    I'm really dissapointed with the artwork... I missed the old homemade artsy ones :(

     

    And my gf is a 2D-3D artist and she said it was a crime to see the bevel effect. It's really cheap photoshop-wise... So she made me a new avatar :wink2:

     

    :lmfao: That's great, love it!

     

    I was just thinking about the strange line at the bottom of the cover. It's exactly the bottom part of the Mika-Picture, only a little bit smaller. So maybe it's really foldoutable. And if it is so, than there is probably the same picture of Mika beneath it. But as it must be smaller, than there is much more space above Mika. So MAYBE there is a picture under the one we see now where the artwork is exactly like he has described it in the Belgian interview (lot of things coming out of his head...)?

     

    Just guessing :naughty: - and hoping :blush-anim-cl:

     

    I've thought about that too, I hope so :thumb_yello:

     

    Yep :D That is what I've been hoping for from the moment I saw the "under picture" thing ^^

     

    Same, seems a lot of us are hoping for this :teehee:

    MIKA @ Cirque Royal/Koninklijk Circus, Brussels, BELGIUM - SOLD OUT -03-11-2012

    in Before the Show

    Posted

    I'm sooo happy I could get my tickets ! I was ready on the 3rd August but I really struggle to get my tickets. After 30 seconds, the gig was sold out according to the Cirque Royal while Livenation & Fnac had still plenty of tickets... I had to try at least 5 times before being able to order the tickets I needed =_='

     

    Really, I was so relieved when the tickets arrived in my mailbox :') I couldn't make it to his last 2 gigs at Les Ardentes & Suikerrock, thus I'm really really looking forward to be on the 3rd November ! :DAlso, I've been told that Le Cirque Royal's the best Concert Hall in Belgium, with the AB & Le Botanique. :)))

     

    Still 2 months and a half to go, I caaan't wait :'>

     

    I have to agree! Well, except for the tiny venue that's just 500 metres from my place :naughty:
