thank you avoca!
quite frankly imho, this journalist doesn't know how to do her job. Her approach is snobbish, completely superficial; she obviously believes to be smarter than her interviewee and obviously tries to go all Oriana Fallaci on him, trying to upset him and make him uncomfortable, however, she doesn't Fallaci's wit or insight...

She also finds a way to makes homophobic comments (she claims that mika is gay and she calls his music "gay friendly" - not in a nice and polite way, implying that a gay musician cannot appeal to a 'serious' audience, but only to his gay-tribe...), however this gives a chance for Mika to display once again his sensitivity on the subject. Her knowledge of what the genre "pop" includes is quite questionable, especially given the fact that she should be a professional. Towards the end of the interview, she states her idols are Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix and Joe Strummer and that she'd rather interview people whose work she doesn't like. Mika tells her she's safe, because they're all dead by now. lol
