what did you do?! did you cover it in UV paint while painting the planets?

t4p and for the translation! i found it interesting what he said about the choice of the singles, think it's the first time he says that so clearly. and the duracell bunny comparison made me laugh.

no worries, *i* have enough time, before and after the show! the question is whether *he* does!

ah well, as it's their anniversary show, of course they'd like to show off by being able to say "even people from abroad watch us". too bad for them that you don't! ooh that would be bad if they quizzed the winner on the phone about the show, before they decide who to invite! i watch it occasionally, and if i do then just the last hour or so, as i never get up at 5:30am - but i couldn't answer any questions on the show i guess! certainly am not a regular viewer... but one of the DMFCers who entered does watch it every day, if they want someone who knows the show, they should choose her i guess.

thank you. then there's only one possibility really in the morning, unless he's flying with a private jet... hope the flight isn't late or he'll miss the show in berlin!

ah, thanks. yes the latest flight on sunday from brussels to berlin goes at 21:00, so if you can win tickets until 5pm, that's quite unlikely. but it's in brussels, and not somewhere else in belgium where another airport would be closer?

LOL!! if he ever thought *he* was weird, that's just because he hadn't met those radio presenters yet! i love him for taking part in such crazy things, that's almost as funny as the chubby bunny thing. though i really hope that he keeps his own dancing style for his shows! and i also hope that he never makes music like that, this song was totally getting on my nerves!

hi guys, i must admit i'm a bit too lazy to look through all 18 pages here... can anyone tell me please at what time this showcase is? i'm just curious as mika will be in berlin the next morning, whether there's a possibility he might travel after the showcase, or if it's more likely that he's traveling in the morning. and it's in brussels i think? we won't wait for him at the airport in berlin but at the tv studio, but it'd still be nice to know *about* when we can expect him there, as the tv show runs for nearly 5 hours. btw, congrats to those who got tickets and good luck to those who haven't heard back from the competition yet!

i just booked my train ticket to berlin. i guess it was the dutchie's experience at that tv show that made me do this, although i could've bought a flight to london for the money i paid for the train tickets! but it looks like it's the only chance we'll get here in germany before the tour. and even if mika's in a hurry and rushes past us... at least i'll visit statue and we'll have a brilliant time, with probably not sleeping a second the night before as this stupid show starts so early! i still wouldn't mind winning the competition of course, wouldn't be a problem to cancel the train ticket and get most of the money back...

ah yes, that was this funny show where he sang the abba song with a wig on, right? and inhaled helium from a balloon. wonder what they'll do this time!

pfft, i only want his signature personally, not via pre-order! with my name on it. and i'll put that in a frame on my wall then, next to the posters of the other 2 albums. and the personalized exercise book from the 2010 tour. luckily i'll have 2 CDs, so also 2 booklets, so i can spare one.

if you write them this: maybe you could convince them that you're the only one with the right answer. edit: i just read from someone on DMFC saying that this is one of those shows where they have a translator talking above the voice of the guest. i hate that! guess you'll need a translation to understand the interview.

thanks. yes, like statue said, we have programmable dvd recorders.

i think everyone here would've known the right answer without even being able to read the question.

Mika will be on the breakfast show of German TV Station Sat1 on Oct 1st. The name of the Show is "Sat1 Frühstücksfernsehen" (which means breakfast TV), it's live, it starts at 5:30 in the morning (until 10 am) and that show on Oct 1st is their 25-years-anniversary show. I'm really happy that they'll have Mika on this special anniversary show! But as they're celebrating and Mika's single is called Celebrate, that fits well of course. There's also a giveaway for a m+g with Mika on the show, travel and hotel included: http://www.torgen-am-morgen.com/2012/09/celebrate-feiern-mit-mika-dem.html ... but I guess you have to at least speak German to enter - they'll call the winner(s) and in the show they talk German as well of course. And well, I also don't think they'd pay for a flight from Brazil... But to all the Germans who'll enter: Good luck! I entered too... no idea how many people can win, it doesn't become really clear from the text, just says "you can win a meet+greet (...) and celebrate the anniversary with us and him". Usually they don't have an audience on that show, but as it's the anniversary show, who knows what they plan? But it could also just be one winner who will sit with them on the talkshow couch - maybe that's more likely if they pay for travel and hotel. Ah btw, it takes place in Berlin. Anyway I hope that some real fans win, and not just some random viewer/s who only know Grace Kelly, if at all! Preferably a fan from Berlin of course, as they don't even get a show there for the tour. But then, I hope they let more people win, so all the fans who enter can go. edit: I just found this online streaming of the TV station Sat1: http://www.youfreetv.net/index.php?section=channel&value=sat1 - maybe you can watch the show live there on Oct 1st. But Statue and me will also record it and put it online for you.

thanks for that! so the press conference was at amazon? there probably was more of it though than what we see in this video, judging from what he said on the other interview. curious about what else will turn up of this press conference.

thanks. i just thought someone might have recorded it. but i still have to catch up on some other interviews anyway, guess i'll do that first then.

thanks for the translation lu! has someone uploaded the last interview already? it's the only one i missed completely!

celebrate has been released in germany today, so please help voting for it on the german radio stations, so many people can hear and then buy it. Planet Radio: http://www.planetradio.de/music/planet-hottest-tracks.html - look for celebrate in the list and click on "I like". that's it. SWR3: http://www.swr3.de/musik/charts - click on "Abstimmen", then enter a name, street, city (german cities have a 5 number postal code, followed by the city name... for example 80805 muenchen) and e-mail-address. i often just type random letter combinations in the right format (@ sign in the e-mail address etc.), and it works as well. just the captcha code has to be correct of course. the vote only counts if you fill in all fields, you get a positive message if you just enter the captcha code, but the vote doesn't count! (we've tried it... ) Radio Gong: http://www.radiogong.de/thema/Musik/ - click on the banner that says "Top 7 um 7", there you can vote. for voting more than once, you have to delete/deactivate your cookies or restart your browser. Radio Galaxy: http://www.radio-galaxy.de/music.html ... there's no direct link and it's a bit hard to find: enter mika in the search field and click on "suchen". then in ADDITION to that you have to click on the letter M, then the name mika appears in a white field, and if you click on that, you're on the voting site. voting is easy though, just click on thumbs up. you can do that once every 24 hours. thank you!

that's interesting... like i said, i think i noticed a certain mood change during the video interview - could there have been anything that offended him? guess i need to watch it again... but i thought i had imagined it, when the interview got so funny... weird... ...or maybe his italian team told him after the interview that OOL wouldn't be a single and that's what made him angry?

what did he say this time? in the video interview this question seemed to confuse him, i had the feeling he somehow changed after this question, still funny but less open... maybe it bothered him that he hadn't thought about it yet and didn't really know what to say - when they were translating his answer, he seemed deep in thought. or maybe that was the moment he discovered that he could paint on the table with his greasy fingers.

ah, thanks. there was a little button saying i have to install microsoft silverlight. did that and now the sound works. is the interview over already? what question was it?

can i just watch the webcam shots or also listen somewhere?

good to know that someone else recorded it and it'll probably also be posted on the radio website. as a backup, i recorded it too, but missed the first few seconds and half a minute of italian talk in between cause my camera battery died - so i hope someone's uploading a full version. what a funny interview, i love it how silly he sometimes is! i'm just the same... i'm still ROFLing about the risotto drawing on the table!

a lovely unplugged version of celebrate on radio antenne dusseldorf. just mika and tim - including the "china boy" part: edit: the video got deleted by the radio station. thanks to mari and eriko for re-uploading it!
