    Listen to bits of Mika's album on Youtube!

    in Mika News and Press

    Overrated is a song that's nearly 10 years old, I thought it would have been obvious that it wouldn't be the same as the demo, More than likely Mika would have been fed up with how it was?

     

    If you prefer the demo version, just listen to that one instead :P

     

    Don't worry. I will. :wink2: For my liking it has just been changed too much. If others like the new version - good for them. Just not my cup of tea. Just like Celebrate...

    Love the other songs on the album though! :mikalove: And can't wait to hear some of the songs live! :groupwave:

    Went on about how this song was about himself,his story,the church,being proud of who he is even if he is in love with...a man. He even made a little pause for effect there. Then he said that this song is his statement. And dedicated to the man he loves.

     

    Been like this: :mikalove: since I have read Jemma's tweet last night. :wub2:

    I am so proud and happy.

     

    Edit: Looking forward to read more reviews of this gig when I'm back home from work tonight...

    Secret listening party in Milan!

    First of all, I have to say that I still an't believe that I really was at the prelistening only yesterday. As someone has pointed out it's a dream come true. :wub2: It felt so honoured to be there and get a chance to listen to the album tracks - almost 2 months before the album is going to be released! :wub2: Couldn't wipe away that stupid smile I had on my face all day. :aah: I was almost as excited as if I was going on a blind date (or maybe even more :naughty:). At 3:30 pm we all gathered up at the meeting point....The weather was so hot, but we didn't care. :mf_rosetinted: It was lovely chatting along to so many lovely Mika fans trying to speed up time.

    It wasn't until about 45 minutes later that we were lead to that restaurant thingie where the whole thing was gonna happen. It was a close walk though. We put down all bags etc. and Guilio told us about the "rules" (no recording etc.) and said that the fans would understand but the internet wouldn't. (True that!) We then moved on to another room where we all sit down as the playing of the album was only minutes away.

    Then - all of a sudden - Mika appeared and sat down behind his computer and said hi. As people have already mentioned he said that so far he's the only one who has the latest versions of the songs - so he was the one playing them to us. :wink2:

     

    As my pen didn't seem to work I didn't take any notes during the songs - but decided just to try to "take them in" and enjoy them as much as possible. But many of the others have already written it all down so beautifully. So I only just have to add that it really was an amazing experience. I had to pinch myself more than once to make me believe I wasn't dreaming...From where I was sitting I had a good view on many others listening - and I loved watching everyone being so much into the songs - the fans, the Universal guys (They were singing along so much :thumb_yello:), Mrs. P and Yasmine. The songs we heard were all different, but even at first listen I started to like them - Changing EMD to Emily is so funny. :naughty: I almost shed a tear when I heard "Underwater" - it simply is beautiful. :wub2: Looking forward to hear them all again.

     

    @mellody: IIrc he said about "Heroes" that it's not sure that it will be the closing track of the album, at least that's what I understood.

    (and it was me thinking that that rapping part in "Popular" sounds like Young Deenay, who was famous in Germany in the 90s ;-) )

     

    Loved the stories Mika told as well as his answers to our questions. I dodn#t look at Mika when he played the songs - but some people told me that he was like in a "trance" throughout a song. This just reminds me that we can be so happy that Mika is doing things the way he like it, he make the music he loves and feels like doing, it's 100% Mika - that that's the way it should be.

     

    It was such a great opportunity. THANK YOU and GRAZIE MILLE to everyone who made this happen.

     

    It was lovely chatting to some of you after the prelistening exchanging our opinions etc. Loved it.

     

    Such a great end to our little Mika adventure! :)

     

    And the champagne was good, too. (That must be said. :fisch:)

     

    So good to hear that more people are getting theior chance to assist to a prelistening session tomorrow in London. Good times!!!
