    I love you baby, but face it he's Mika

    This talk of husbands snooping MFC is hilarious to me given my personal circumstances. Not only does my husband know my username, but he's the guy with the power to take MFC offline if he read something he didn't like (for those that don't know, my hubby Standard Toaster is MFC's technical admin).

     

    It's a damn good thing he's understanding. :lmfao:

    It's so trippy to come back and read this thread three years later. :teehee:

     

    So with the wisdom of three more years, I'm going to alter my answer: and that answer is no.

     

    I stil believe that if Mika and I were working together or something and the temptation was mutual it would be next to impossible to resist, but would I actually want that to happen? Not for a second.

     

    I'm very aware that this Mika world is, in some ways, escapism. And quite frankly if I were to run off with him, even for some steamy weekend fling, that would pop the escapist bubble and have a trickle-down effect throughout other parts of my life - to say nothing of my marriage. :aah:

     

    You girls can have him. Just don't forget the occassional gig report. :das::roftl:

    Freddies English Teaching Course

    It's one of those strange quirks of English - that terms of endearment get used to address total strangers. In Sheffield for example, you will be addressed as "love" by shop staff or bus drivers. What I hate is being called "duck", "honey" is quite nice compared to that :naughty:

     

    :lmfao:

     

    Duck? Is that an England thing, or just a Sheffield thing? I wanna be called duck. :roftl:

    XL REPUBBLICA - how Mika keeps himself busy ;-)

    in Mika News and Press

    Posted

    Nobody is thanking me :sneaky2: (I'm not blaming you, you are all probably lost in Mika's column now :naughty:)

     

    Anyway what does this mean? "I am 27, I am pro choice, pro contraception, pro gay union, pro tolerance, and most of all pro faith if not religion." What does this "pro" mean?

     

    sadly this is the only quote i can not understand :shocked:...what does 'pro' mean in this quote?? could someone help? :boxed:

     

    Thanks for posting coolcat! And thanks to Robertina for making sure they posted the English version. :wub2:

     

    "Pro choice" in this context refers to abortion... Mika is saying that he feels it's a woman's right to choose whether or not to have an abortion for any reason. In English-speaking countries the opposite point of view is referred to as "pro life." Someone with "pro life" views believes life begins the moment a baby is conceived, and that an expectant woman should not be allowed to make the decision to terminate that life.

     

    With everything else he refers to - contraception, tolerance, gay unions, and faith - he's simply saying that he is in favour of all of those things despite the traditional point of view of the church.

     

    Wow, a really good job! :thumb_yello:

     

    That's the result of Mika on his own and a piece of white paper without any lousy journalists around to interrupt him and ask stupid questions about his clothes. :naughty:

     

    Hope he goes on writing on serious topics.

     

    Agreed. Of course I do like reading or watching interviews where he goes on about his clothes or whatever, but this feels far more substantial.

     

    I have to commend him for tackling such a sensitive topic. I don't necessarily agree with him on all points, but I respect his position and admire his ability to clearly express his point of view. I do relate to what he said about the feeling of escape and detachment within the walls of a church (or, for me, any sort of religious building).

     

    I also found it interesting that he wrote "we must be brave enough to take what we like and not have them impose what we do not believe in." My initial reaction to that is to disagree. I can't imagine one could comfortably affiliate themselves with a particular religion or attend a weekly religious service only to disagree with a significant portion of what's being taught. That was the problem I had with the Catholic school I attended from ages 14 to 17; I just did not agree with much of what was taught, and those matters put me off Catholicism as a whole.

     

    But on the flip side, if most of one's faith-based activities are carried out privately - a quick prayer backstage before performing to a frenzied crowd - what's to say you can't pick and choose? I suppose that's one of the differences between faith and religion. Religion is prescribed, organized, and in my opinion, inflexible. But broad faith affords far more flexibility. One can select the relevant bits from organized religions, accepting the parts that fit their own beliefs (love thy neighbour, for example) and discarding the parts that don't fit (say, homosexuality is a sin).

     

    And I suppose that applies to life in general. Of all the perspectives, opinions and advice out there you just have to take what fits and discard the rest. Thanks Mika, for making me think. :pinkbow:

    So' date=' I told the bartender to send him a glass of wine and to put it on my bill. When the bartender took it to him, Mika's face was a little puzzled and the bartender pointed to me.[/quote']

     

    What a great dream! Did you wake up and think "dammit, why was that only a dream?! :aah:"

     

    I love the bit about sending him a drink. Can you imagine? :roftl:

    The Jimmy Sims Thread

    in Other Artists

    Posted · Edited by lollipop_monkey

    Oh what a lovely interview! Thanks for translating, Priscilla. :wub2:

     

    I love reading about the interaction between Mika and the musicians onstage. It's something I noticed back in 2008 when the LGs and BGs watched from the side of the stage; Mika's always signalling and gesturing at them, and you can see their eyes always trained on Mika waiting for his next direction. It was even crazier on the acoustic tour without any backing tracks and they had even more "wiggle room", so to speak. I find it impressive, really. I would think it would be a bit crazy making to have someone changing things on the fly all the time. :teehee:

     

    I was just watching this vid earlier today and reminiscing. Love what Jimmy does from 5:19 on.

     

    And I love this bit, what Jimmy does on the lyrics "in a lost and found" at 1:24.

     

    I can't believe that was the first proper gig Jimmy played with Mika, and that I was fortunate enough to be there. :wub2: He's such a great catch for Mika. :punk:

    That does not look normal. :roftl:

     

    And this sounds like a phenomenal gig! Thanks for your reports everyone. The flowers and chain looked wonderful. I think Mika really likes this corner of the planet. :wub2:

     

    I think for album number three I definitely need to get myself to some gigs in Spain and Portugal. :teehee:
