Yes but it moves me in a strange way like butterflies in my stomack. it vibrates in a lower tone I think.

That's what he sing. My guess is rhat he sings about his age, not about his size so I would translate it that way: "Sometimes I am too grown up, sometimes too little" Of course we have to wait for the contest to be sure. @mellody @lormare73

Yes he does Thank you Deb I'm still watching in case Mika sang with Vianney but it seens Vianney will sing with Kendji so my hopes are not too high....

Big Flow & Oli won so Mika and Vianney are out 20231110_214444.mp4

Mika just sang C'est la vie. I loved it (recording from TV and my earphones were on sorry it's not very good but I wanted to share) 20231110_212729.mp4

I google translated Caroline's fantastic report and fixed a few words google translate had slightly messed up Thanks a million for your report and your photos and videos @Carolinechedo And I can't wait to watch the whole show Hello, As promised, here is a little throwback to my getaway to the village docks in Marseille to meet our Mika I am attaching some photos and videos of this moment and Maritima will put the video of the show online on Saturday noon. Mika arrived late, only 30 minutes for us on the schedule, but 1 hour for him..... he arrived relaxed and calm while admiring the site. It's true that the Docks are worth seeing, a mix of ancient stones and modern mosaics, very beautiful. he did the soundcheck for 10 minutes and we entered this cozy place. Once settled, Mika joined us, all smiles enjoying this place. Marc Hernandez brought him tea and he told us he had a carrot cake in his dressing room. one of my neighbors said “I want to taste it” and Mika asked for the cake! A hostess brought all the cakes from his dressing room to the very small table as you can see in the attached photo He couldn't touch it since he was talking and talking, but at every commercial break, he was playing with it and devoured them with his eyes!! It was quite comical. He explained the gigantic work carried out for the Rugby World Cup show, the organization, the costumes, the re-orchestration what was planned because it did not please the public, the rehearsals... He also told the children that You always had to keep smiling no matter what, even if the public was unhappy, always smile. Huge work for 5 minutes of show!! Another anecdote about the SNCF advertising, where he had to film in several countries, in the cold, the rain, he was so wet that he wore a wetsuit under his costume! and when he arrived in Marseille, Saint-Charles station, alone in the world, in this mythical and silent place, just for him, he was jubilant! Ditto for the broadcast on December 31 at the Palace of Versailles, him and his piano, alone in the gardens with the fireworks. For him who played in this park as a child it was incredible. he asked the film crews to stop making noise to enjoy this magic for 2 minutes we were lucky to have a lot of stories, professional and personal. He explained about the title of the album, how the songs were born, the tour... I'll let you discover it in the show. Then he sang "C'est la Vie" and you will see on the Maritima video, we were in the 1st row, with @tatianamikafan @athe.mika17 and @julia.chba, he approached the edge of the platform and if he had stretched out his arms and I stretched out mine, I would touch him. Very very nice moment. Finally, we were able to take a photo with him by a security guard, we were only allowed one (I got 3 from my friend!), it was timed and moreover as I spoke to him, we we were told to stop so others could take turn. we enjoyed each other's company and that was extraordinary. A hug from Mika is priceless!!! On the other hand, he was not allowed to sign anything for any of us; it doesn't matter, I'll do it during the tour, hehehe. In any case, I confirm that Mika is a caring, gentle, smiling man, who arrived quite shy and who relaxed over time. the public was unanimous in saying that he was a very caring and human man. He made a good impression on those who didn't know him. Thank you Mika, you are a sweetheart There you go, I hope you have as much fun as I did while watching the show on Saturday.

I'm willing to translate it but I have to find time to do it. I can't do subbed videos by myself but I will start doing a written translation in English tonight in a post here and update it as I do it.

@mellodyI'm still in tears. You understood well. It was so moving I feel the same but you found the words @Kumazzz Thank you for sharing the interview Eriko

Awesome Deb In case you some are missing and if you need me just let me know I'll be happy to help

I was thinking it would be nice to have a thread for Mika songs lyrics translations but maybe there are translations included in the comprehensive lyrics thread for songs that are not in English already? I don't remember

What do you mean by SM? Sure we can pass out the translated lyrics, but maybe Mika's tech team could project them as well ( I know it is done for Shakeaspeare plays in theaters sometimes so it is technically possible ) Social Media right?

I am pretty sure he will keep singing his "classics" in English both in French speaking countries and in other countries. A whole setlist with new songs in French is not likely at all. A few French songs from the new album like C'est la vie and Apocalypse Calypso and the other singles for sure but given that he only sings Live Your Life in Spanish speaking countries and Domani in Italian speaking countries he really selects his songs depending on where he sings. Of course as the album is out in less than a month and his new tour starts in spring we as fans will be familiar with his new album songs, but if he sang only them (even only in French speaking countries ) it would be very strange My perfect setlist would include Tomorrow, Good Wife, Origin of Love, Underwater, Apocalypse Calypso, San Remo, Tiny Love, Talk about you, I went to hell last night, Good gone girl, Les baisers perdus, Live your Life, Domani, Who's gonna love me now, Kids and probably C'est la vie...but I probably forgot many

Thanks a million for finding and sharing this precious video

It's never that simple There is also a Belgium site online for the collector vinyl (unsigned) in case the other one runs out of them

I came here to say that yesterday I took caps of Apocalypse Calypso video and that I fell in love Mika looks like a million dollar in it and he smiles and looks 🔥 Maybe I was too distracted by the music or the video goes too fast for me but I officially adore it now Here are my caps https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzQ9LVWtbWz/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Mika and Zazie get great fit of laughter together so that's a good placement

They do give you bottles of water inside, well they do when it's hot and you can have the sandwiches but you have to go with nothing but your clothes (no handbag, no phone) some people tried to hide their phones in their socks but they were found out

I think we all agree on the beauty of his voice but obviously we all can't love everything Although I believe he could sing the dictionary and I would love it but I do have my fav songs and videos and some songs and videos I always skip too. Mika is fine with that too I'm playing pikmin bloom at the moment and I'm giving my pikmins Mika's songs names and I love it

If we write the f word on MFC it will be censored. That's why it was replaced by long ago

And I came here to show you this which was sent to me by Universal Music

I agree with you, the lyric video is a lot more true to the lyrics and to the meaning of the song. I always picture a couple dancing when I listen to that song and Mika is alone...but it is similar to Elle Me Dit video or Tiny Love video it was impossible to make the video stick to the story because the story is too private for that in my opinion. Various couples kissing including LGBT÷ couples as in "Make you happy" video or dancing or riding into a car going too fast could have been getting the message in a different way but the thing is for me the meaning is a bit lost...but it had to be a "serious" and "theatrical" and 'symbolic" video because the lyrics needed to be toned down by the images....as much as I love watching Mika I prefer C'est la vie video and Tomorrow video and Staring at the sun video because he looks free and natural. So the lyric video is my fav for now. Hopefully he will explain more about it in a while.... I hope there will also be a fans video for Apocalypse Calypso because I love singing it so much and I find it easier to sing than C'est la vie. I have been listening to it almost non stop since it's out so I'm ready for the karaoke anyway

I'm glad you're embracing French thanks to Mika

Yes we always debate a lot about the meaning of his videos. Tiny Love has so many possible interpretations for example. And we all see his art through our eyes and our own experiences but we certainly all agree that the beauty he creates gives us lots of happiness

Now I wonder which one I got to hug

The hell boy is my fav
