hey, what do you mean, that Relax, Take it Easy was a flop then in the UK ? Here in Belgium it has been several weeks on top of the charts, even on n°1 for some time (don't know I don't really keep track)

omg, michael bublé whom I usually like made a fool of himself doing this crappy take on Grace Kelly, he really looks like a fat sack of potatoes on this video and the vocals were nothing up to his standards unless of course he wanted to make Mika look ridiculous in which case he didn't fully realize he is the one being a silly old fart here ! To be forgotten immediately !

yes,well I just meant that he had been for 10 weeks in the charts with this song, not that he's been on n°1, that is only since this week ! still, he is doing great here too, after, Grace Kelly and Love Today ... dum da di da da di dum ... Yannick:mf_rosetinted:

Just wanted to draw your attention guys that 'Relax, take it easy' is currently n°1 on the Belgian top 50 where it has been for 10 weeks now ... !!!!!!!!!

hey Rani ! did you see my rave reviews of YOUR singing ? nice change from all the rave reviews about MIKA, no ?

what do you mean, Mandi by Freddy Mercury's quote ? that Mika is gay as well or is it just to be funny ? though I have a feeling that if he doesn't want to speak about his own sexuality he must have a reason, no ? if you are straight, then you simply say I am straight, don't you ? but maybe then he would be disappointing his gay audience. Whatever, it is very clever of him to keep everybody guessing and thereby upsetting no one !

Who ? me, vanessa ? well, I am afraid I only have dvd-reader not a dvd recorder. Sorry about that !

hey, Just saw an announcement that the show 'taratata' presented by Nagui (who was so wild about Mika that is seemed he had fallen completely in love with him ) is apparently being re-broadcast tonight on TV5. As TV5 tends to re-broadcast programmes of some weeks ago I suppose this must be the same programme here too. Strange however, the first Taratata with Mika dates back to a couple of months already but maybe this is the holiday season and they have decided to broadcast the best moments again. Is there a more recent programme, something that I've missed maybe ? In any case, I will stay home ! Any French girl or boy who can enlighten me on this issue ? Je parle le français bien évidemment ... Salut

I am thrilled at all the positive reactions to this thread I set up !!! thanks to all of you. Yannick

hi sienna, though I am an English teacher I cannot be considered to be a native speaker for my mother tongue is Dutch, still I think that both 'to fog out' and 'to fork out' could work here. I think 'fork or fog out my daylight' can both be interpreted as 'drain away my daylight' or 'make my daylight disappear' ... does that do now ? or could some Enlish speaking person maybe shed a light on this enigma ? ... anyway, I think this explanation really fits, no ? I think we should all let Mika know that we expect him to continue to write such wonderful gems of music. they stand out as lonely diamonds shining among all the crap we hear nowadays ! shed a tear but please don't get too depressed either listening to this song, I think MIKA might miss his most truthful fans when we all end up getting depressed Yannick

anyone out there who's noticed that this song could become a classical standard ?! the simple and very emotional melody-line is worthy of some classical composers and the song should find its place in any 'lied'- repertoire ! the version with the countertenor-guy from the opera school accompanying him simply makes the tears roll down my cheeks. Thanks Mika, for so much emotion, continue in this vein too, please ...

thanks for all the welcoming words, dears !

why all this fuss about whether Mika's gay or not ? he very cleverly entertains the myth about his sexuality and judging by all your reactions, I can see why ... it would give way to too many negative reactions if he did reveal his sexuality, either way, if he were heterosexual or homosexual. But I have my own idea which I won't reveal either. Just listen carefully to all of his songs, there might be a clue there

Hey ! yes, I feel a bit uneasy to write on a fan site like this but I was simply too curious, I went absolutely mad over MIKA's songs, I think each and every one of them is simply great ... I am ashamed to say that I only really discovered him now though of course I have heard his songs ever since they came out and were played on the radio ... He is so full of talent, I think HE should have been the one to have played the role of the young and crazy Mozart in Forman's AMADEUS. To think that this musical genius can't read a note of music ! How does he manage to write and perform such fantastic music ? Such talent ... I can't wait for his second album to come out, I just hope he is not going to get too overworked, I hear he is touring an awful lot now but wait till November MIKA to stop touring, then we in Brussels still get the chance to see you ... hihihi ! No seriously, to quote another artist I am fond of too 'I think you're AMAZING !' (George Michael)
