Nope..it's the one who wants to take him to court over the name..she claims he stole it from her.... i just don't get some ppl!

And then to think: She (the Belgian) started her carrier in 1983. Yes, indeed the year that our (the real) Mika was born.

The real Mika is a belgian reggae singer, everybody knows that

Mika (Miko) is an undergroung youth punkband from Los Angeles....

The addiction to the MFC is hard, trying almost every hour if the MFC is online already drove me a little crazy....

AnnaMariaPetra - #57 that is your Queeniac number. This is just so you know what order you joined and so you can be a member with us if you like.

I like, thanks!

The Queeniac list. The people that come into this topic can be added to our list as a "Queeniac" fan. I'll add you if you like.

Hi Mandilambi, sorry for the quit late reaction! I would like to be on the list, but I don't know if I will visit it often. I will try though, but I am a frequent visitor of the Dutch and the Oldlings-threads. But thanks for adding me!

I must say: Mika looks extremely handsome on this video! But in my opinion he also looks nervous. (Or is that because he is asked a lot of question by different interviewers?)

Thanks Pamette for the translation!

His retro-glamrock dominates every radio-station and his last single and album were both number one in the charts last week. How the formar schoolyard-geek became the star of 2007.

Within two hours is his birthday but Mika didn't plan a great party for his 24th anniversary.He is flying from The Netherlands to England at night to perform there. A day like all others in the last year he explains.

His only dissipation is a mini-glass of champagne on the table. Not for his birthday but to celebrate that his record Life in Cartoon Motion has a golden status. And, not unimportant, because that record is, just like his single Relax, on the number one position in the Dutch charts. To be short: Mika is, at once, a world-star, who just made a great impression at festival Lowlands.

But still Mika -threetall, little bit lubberly, shining curls and faithfull doggy-eyes, doesn't drink more than a thimble and eats a little dish with raw vegetables. "In spite of the commercial succes I still have the nervous energy that I used to have in the old days".

Strangely enough "the old days" is in fact only one year earlier. His huge breakthrou as the man who teached us that kitchy popmusic can be fun without pretences and en passant made glamrock, in the theatrical style of Elton John, Queen en also T-Rex hip again, followed when in 2006 after a lot of recordcompagnies turned him down, there was one recordlable prepared to release his songs.

"This was the most crazy and wonderful year of my life." says Mika. "Difficult too. It surprises how me good I kept on to myself. Succes or bad reviews didn't bring me out of balance. I am loyal to myself and I'm proud of that. What did change? Nothing is impossible anymore. We are working on my new show at the moment: suddenly I can pay people to rehearse. For a very long time I was losing money while making concerts. Now I'm thinking of mega-dolls on the stage and metershigh blow-up-figures for decor. All my life everyone thought of me as a stranger dreamer. But I have made my dreams come true."

That plans were created at the schools at which Mika, born in Lebanon as a child of a Lebanees/American mother and an American diplomat-father, studied. His popularity nowadays is in big contrast with his pre-teenyears. Mika was the paria of the schoolyard.

"I was a unique child wit a strong personality and taste of clothing," he analysis himself. "Red trousers and bowties, I loved that. Very enthousiastic, a free spirit. But that attidude was beaten out of me very quickly. I was hugely bullied. Even with my teachers I had, dyslectic as I was, big problems. I lost all forms of selfrespect. I became quiet and frightned. Didn't have the guts to wear anything else than jeans."

Mika even lost, temporarily, the ability to write and read. He locked himself in his room and worked on his music, music that nobody wanted to hear for years. "Still I had faith that I would make it." he says. "Working in secret gave me strenght. Actually I feel the still the same nowadays: a little bit against the rest of the world. I just don't fit into the hype. At my concerts you don't see celebraties who are there just to be seen. I am not a favourite for the paparazzi, I'm not flashy or glamourous. Actually discrete: I never talk about my private life."

That's why Mika is still silent while the discussion about his sexuality goes on in the media. "To survive you need to keep certain matters private. It just doesn't matter." he says. "What do I do in my spare time? I'll be with friends and family, just like anyone else. My only extravagance is spending money to decorate my appartement, which is with one bedroom quite simple. Boring? Maybe. Earlier I did have dissipations: I sang, when we were thrown out of a pub, with my friends I sang songs on the street till the sun came up. Maybe I still do, but I don't tell anyone anymore. Maybe boring, but I have to make choices.

What Mika fears, what will happen when his private-life comes out, he remains a question. He wants to keep things pure. That's what he repeats all the time. "A lot of artists destroy themselves by losing themselving in borderline-stuff. That won't happen to me. I think big: a carriere needs a solid base, I making one now. All my life people are calling me a one-day-fly. but I garantuee you: In 20 years time I will still be here.!"

(I hope my english is understandable! )

Life on Mars is such a great song! It goes very well with this "making of"-video. I even think that Mika could cover a Bowie-song once, he has a very good voice for it.

Hi. It's me from Shanghai,China.

So happy to be here to know all of you.

I am being a big fan of Mika since Feb. this year when I heard his first single "Grace Kelly".

It's really fantastic that people all around the world share the same taste(haha,not sure if I use the correct word)with me.

Ready and happy to talk with you.

Hi there in China! Greetings from Holland and a warm welcome to the MFC!

AnnaMariaPetra, did you want me to add you to our list?

Hi Mandilambi! What list do you mean?

Suzi, Crina and Queenie87,

Thanx! I will look it up immediatly!

I like writing Mica!

 

So i will put a C if you agree!

Sure:mf_lustslow: It looks charming!

http://www.radio538.nl/top40.html

See the dutch top40 chart from this week: Mika is still on the number one position!

I noticed that too.

 

MTV! I can watch it on MTV France (not the best MTV, MTV UK was better)

 

 

 

You mean for Mica!!!

 

ok! I will put a K because it's his name as an artist but when I talk about him as a human being and not as a artist I always put a C.

I'm sorry, didn't know that. I just thought you had hit the wrong key.

Hi there Queen-fans,

Just coming into this thread with a question: Dutch tv (NPS) aired (last sunday 26-08) an hour long show about Freddie Mercury's private life. Unfortunately we missed that, does someone of you know if that programma is to be found somewhere on the internet? In dutch it is called: "Het uur van de wolf: Freddie Mercury privé"

Thanx a lot:thumb_yello:

Pamette, please check your writing....it's with a K, not a C......

I had no problem voting, actually you can vote a couple of times, likes 5 or 6 or so.

Which German tv-station is airing this?

Heh! Thanks! Staples fired.

 

 

I can't remember exactly what he said this time, but I have read before that she is basically a prostitue, 95 is Interstate 95 in Miami where they hang out, and hook her, book her, nook her, in the context of a prostitute, need I go on?

I already guessed she was a hooker, but a thought the 95 was the meisure of the window at which she was working behind.

He has only done GK and BB now Love Today.

Talking about what Carolina sits on 95 means.

Hi Babspanky,

When you're done listening, will you please write down the explanation of Carolina sits on 95? I've been wondering what it means since I have LICM.

Thanx!

Hi Zoe,

Welcome!

I voted too!

Welcome!

Dean Cain as Clark Kent and Superman, wow...!

Do not let some humourless morons reflect on our comedy! If you've only seen this...don't even think that it reflects on our beautiful country! We have some of the world's funniest comedians like martin short, jim carrey and mike meyers! they are not idiots! We have the british dark humour and if i do say so myself is a wondeful humour do inherite from our ancesstors!

Here in Holland we don't get to see much (rather non) Canadien comedy. If it is really like the british humour I would really love it.

I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone by my comment.
