same here. i'm tired now - it just HAS to be tomorrow. they should realize that ppl could get confused by it - but if it's tomorrow, it doesn't matter whether they write 11:59 pm or midnight, as those who understand it as today will just send it in sooner, and no one will think it's the 21st. if it's today, i'll just spam mika on twitter with my video tomorrow.

there is a way i can finish it in a few hours, but no way i can get anywhere near winning with it then!

i'm just thinking, what sense would it make for them to want the entries tonight, they surely won't work on a sunday?

i really hope so too, have planned to finish it tomorrow, only started the cutting today (yes, i'm a last minute person... ) - and if i find out tomorrow that i can't upload it to MS anymore, all the work would've been for nothing! dcdeb, do you think you can find out for us?

ha, ice cream van again, cool! good luck to those who live nearby! i really have to move to london.

if you didn't listen yesterday, you can download it here. all in this post.

so take that weren't there then? or just not photographed? i have no idea who most of these ppl are, of course except for ian mckellen, c.louboutin and sophie ellis bextor. anyway, looks like it was fun... the karaoke (?) pic of mika is also great! or maybe he was just speaking to the audience with that microphone, but he said there would be karaoke, and in fact there was this small stage, so maybe it was karaoke.

ooh, i love this one! the magnetism of magneto, lol! http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/90900070/Getty-Images-Entertainment thanx for posting!

the more i listen to it, the more i like "touches you"! totally different from "pick up...", but i think meanwhile i like both about the same! why doesn't "touches you" have more votes?!

a really great pic of john (with graciosa and kanni), taken by antoine, who made john laugh like that - i love this picture! - and it looks like a wedding pic of john and graciosa, lol! http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/big/bfbc-h.jpg

nah, too slow and too complicated to sing! it has to be something where you can still sing along at the top of your voice after several litres of beer. and no one is "lonely" at the octoberfest, it's more like they need dr john...

and here's the interview part: http://www.sendspace.com/file/go944i

it should be an oktoberfest hit, lol!

hmm, exclusive gig? wonder how exclusive that will be... of course i respect that the m+g competition is for uk ppl only but would just love to know more about the gig itself, whether it's a chance for everyone to see/hear mika perform his new album, or something as exclusive as we had in munich last sunday, which then of course would also be uk only. hopefully we'll soon hear more, i'd love to have a gig (which includes pick up off the floor and touches you! ) in europe so i won't have to fly to the US... :rolls_eyes: - some time within the next 2 months, not only next year...

3rd and last part: You once said in an interview that you give a **** what others think of you. So. What is Mika like? Not the Mika from the television or on stage, but you. Mika is still the same, strange child, who has fun in watching people from afar. You also once said that you used to be pretty ugly. How do you see yourself now? I mean, after all, you work as a model. Silly! I'd rather be silly than just beautiful. That's better. Today I no longer think about it - I do not need to anymore. I can just be. Your new album is about youth. You were teased and bullied in yours. So why do you sing again and again about this difficult time? Wouldn't you rather forget? Good question. I do not write about the people who teased me. I write about ordinary things. Love, identity, identity above all. And in fact rather about the effects of love and how you get love. I prefer to write about that than about being in love, this is boring. You find being in love boring? Yes. Perhaps that's because I was never really in love. But then I'm only 26. I mean, my heart already got broken, but I wasn't really in love. That is a difference. I don't really understand the difference. Having your heart broken is a completely different process. This can happen so fast, even if you don't love the person. Want to tell something about it? It happened just as I released my first album. Do you know what I did then? (grins) I took 2000 pounds from the advance the record company had given me. From this I had additional posters of my album printed. Then I put up these posters on any possible surface around the house of this person (laughs). I always do things like that. A song of my new album is called "Rain". The text was actually a break up letter. Then I thought that it would actually be quite funny to put a dance beat behind it and convert it into a pop song. Which is then played on the radio and increases my message tenfold (laughs). Did you get any reaction from the person? No, no. And hopefully never will. Ok. One last question: How does a life become golden? When you stop looking for gold.

fine with me, yup.

was that was leator mentioned, that mika forgot the lyrics because of trying to read the text on leator's shirt?

i didn't even notice during the gig that he sang a wrong text there during lollipop!

hm, you can hear (esp. during WAG) that he (and his voice) was exhausted towards the end of the gig. shame, it's not a good promotion for WAG on the radio that way, but well, i can understand it, he really gave everything, and so did we, i felt really exhausted too, it was so hot in there! yes, lollipop! last song.

ah and grace kelly of course, i forgot!

there's still lollipop after that (if they play it).

not all of it though, missed the beginning where he answered "YOU take your shirt off!" when he was told to take his off.

he said that mika was happy that some of the new songs were liked better by the crowd than the old songs.

watch my video on youtube. it's really funny.

not right now... today it was raining almost the whole day. love today... so they cut out this "taking the shirt off" talk, like expected... damn!
