    (aghh no hay manera fácil de escribir con el celular aca!). Buen día, todavía no oi la bendita canción.Parece que tengo un embrujo o algo así, porque se oye cualquier canción en Youtube menos ESA (muy sobrenatural lo mío). Pero teniendo en cuenta que ya Cutting Crew lo demandó por Relax Take It Easy (y de ahi la notita en el booklet del cd) y que No Place In Heaven se parece un poco a una canción de The Supremes, si hay un parecido melódico no sería ninguna sorpresa.

    ¡Feliz año! Vaya si va a ser un curso largo ponerse al día, jajaja. Vendría bien un resumen de la década... (Estoy medio perdida sin WiFi, bu)

    Well, Italy has a policy because of which Italians in other countries can make their children and grandchildren officially "half Italians", so to speak. So there's a lot of us out there Although Mika would be more like my aunt Teresa, who's half-Syrian by birth and Italian by choice Thanks Eriko for the video! <3 By the way, there's a lof of " Ancoras" in that song, hehe.

    I loved the show, even if it gets too long sometimes (yesterday it was almost 1 in the morning,maybe I didn't like much last episode because I was sleepy haha. I'll have to rewatch). The guests were all very lovely and there were very emotive moments. But the biggest part is that Mika surprised me: there was a time when he couldn't drive, now he's a taxi driver. I used to perceive him as kind of camera shy, now he shines in front of a camera and is an amazing host, always knowing how to make the guest feel comfortable. Plus I'd not seen him in his underwear since We Are Golden (the reaction of the audience when he came out of the bathtub was hilarious, a collective 'Ohhhhhh!'). He really sweats confidence nowadays. Jack Savoretti, Pierfrancesco Favino (I watch Marco Polo. Didn't know the actor was THAT amazing) and Sarah's dance were my favorite moments. I hope to see him on TV very soon, even in "not understandable at all" French

    My bad, I thought those shows were pre-recorded (last weekend Sabine mentioned to me that they are recording The Voice in December but it doesn't air until January or later). What I mean is that an Italian TV critic already compared him to Rosario Fiorello (on an article posted on this same thread, I think), who's been doing that for like 25 years. I take it as a compliment, but it's a lot of pressure too

    He would have to learn to change his clothes much more quickly Sometimes the script behind it is evident, and you notice even the guests studied their lines carefully. But if it were live it would be awfully stressful for Mika, who's not an actor or comedian or has a wide experience on TV and radio. Being spontaneous on a music concert is totally different to acting and improvising 2 h and a half straight on national (well, international!) TV. Maybe it's possible but it'll have to be way simpler and shorter.

    Exactly Kumazz, 20.30 h New York time is 22.30 h in Buenos Aires Ends about 45 min after Friday midnight (we are 12 hours ahead of Tokyo, so happy Monday! haha)

    I came to my mum's house today and she said: "Have you seen it? Eros sang with Mika!". Turns out Rai International is airing the show, according to my mum on Friday night (at least in Southamerica). So if you have cable, check if you can watch it on TV: it looks better than online and in HD (I haven't got a TV, I'll have to visit my mum next week LOL) *PS: according to her, "he doesn't jump and scream happily like when he was young...He is more mature now that he's like 40". Yes, she said forty. You can imagine my face

    La Pioggia - Gigliola Cinquetti. I remembered my grandma really liked it, checked it on YouTube and now it's stuck in my head LOL. The songs is basically about "It's cold and rainy, the weather sucks, but I'm in love so I don't care" Gigliola is a popular Italian artist, she was a great singer and a very beautiful lady in the 60s and 70s. She's still pretty active, so if there's another season of Stasera I hope Mika invites her to his house. That'd be great.

    Studying, because I have a test on Monday. And then studying until December the 15th while trying to figure out how to focus instead of watching videos of Mika
  12. Romis
    I had to open Spotify to listen to Big Girl because I couldn't remember how it starts, no matter how hard I tried. I probably forgot around 75% of the lyrics of Stuck in the Middle as well.
  13. Romis
    Well, he said some rude words, showed a middle finger for about 4 seconds, and gave a speech about how much he would like to age to be a grumpy old man who scares children with his fake teeth haha. (Or that's what I could get, correct me if I'm wrong)

    Google Translate works quite well from English to Italian. Usually it's not the same the other way round, haha. (Il traduttore automatico è traditore...dal inglese al italiano, abbastanza decente. Italiano al inglese, abitualmente no). Lo sketch di Virginia Raffaele non è più così divertente, forse perche è repetitivo. Ma i numeri musicale sono una figata davvero...Eros e Giorgia sono artiste internazionali, dunque a fans di tutto il mondo gli piaciono Posdata: Ho imparato la parola 'scarafaggio' oggi...'cucaracha' (come lui ha detto nel taxi) è in spagnolo

    Brazil, the way I see it, is our most probable chance (big country, many fans, loud ones and a couple of well-known festivals and venues). I understand that the economical or social situation might not be the best one right now. In that particular topic we're all in the region a bit screwed.
  16. Romis
    Well, he performed in South Korea last summer of the Northern Hemisphere and promised to return. But to be fair, Korean fans are a lot and very attentive: they buy him coffee, cake, show up where they know he's going to be, send messages, etc. Once a year is a lot compared to the frequency he visits other countries outside US/Europe. He came 6 years ago to a small festival and didn't stay (we knew like 14 days in advance, tickets were expensive and some of us missed it); being realistic I'm not expecting him to come anytime soon either with all the great opportunities he has in other places. Note that I don't understand French at all, not even his songs, so I miss things too but French people are not to blame. Armenia and Georgia are way closer than my 7,000 miles far away country, maybe you have a chance. Who knows, the only thing for sure is that nobody has the crystal ball. What I disagree absolutely with is "he doesn't spend time on his music". He was already a judge on TV when NPIH came out, there was an Asian tour, Rock in Rio (Lisboa ), shows in Latvia/Lithuania/Prague, Barcelona/Switzerland/Belgium in June, he's promised new songs for 2017, among other things. As for the Italians getting attention, he recently said on radio that he wanted to do many shows inside Italy. If that's makes him happy...

    Their performance of Ci Parliamo Da Grande left my eyes as if there were Calabrese red onions near my face I grew up listening to Eros because my mom used to play his music all the time, his voice reminds me of my childhood. Plus the beauty of Mika's melody...I couldn't help getting emotional. I laughed, though, when talking to the passengers who worked as exterminators he said 'cucaracha' (spanish for cockroach) out of the blue

    As for his looks, he's been around as just a friend for years, he's attended shows (I think) and for some longtime fans (I don't want to say 'old') he might not be a total stranger. So when a couple of French magazines took pictures of them together, it brought back a lot of MFC memories A tear tried to escape my eye when I read that. He's good with poetry (insert hearts and teary eyes here).Gosh, that makes me want to read his book so bad...

    I've watched some clips on YouTube I bet the orchestra director thought it was him, right in that moment, the one who was drunk haha
  20. Romis
    In fact, I've watched today a quite recent Italian short video in which Mika talks about the procedence of his fans and he mentioned that (according to his management team) his content on social media attracts an interesting amount of traffic from Southamerica. He seemed glad about that. So I understand and accept it's not lack of appreciation but him focused on more lucrative and/or sucessful things, which happen to take place in Europe (and sometimes the USA). Hopefully in a couple of years a good job and my Italian passport will allow me to be "the mountain that goes to Muhammed".

    È la stessa intervista di oggi a 13 h? Mi ha sembrato molto breve

    I just came to say that NPIH came out one year after all those posts filled with the 'shoulds' and the coherence and whatever (and apparently, not having read the transcription carefully). Stasera Casa Mika, a show that is anything but banale, two years later. And now there are new songs in the making and a couple of shows with a symphonic orchestra. E magari un libro. So next time let's put the crystal ball aside and accept Mika knows better about his career choices than us. And thank goodness, he gives a damn about people being easily disappointed.

    About the gif (I can't quote, don't know why) I hope there was a matress (or a ton of grass) below the stage. I remember when Dave Grohl literally broke a leg falling like that from stage. He had to perform on the following shows sitting on a throne. And today I learned Mika doesn't like thrones. They kind of remind him of Louis XVI

    I was thinking about that yesterday. He's always been lovely and I've been a fan for a long time, but I love how spontaneous he's today and how you can see clearly that he's enjoying life (even though he's quite busy). Maybe that's why I love NPIH so much, it sounds natural and very true. I agree. I'm discovering the OSM tracks these days and I have a hunch the shows in Firenze (Florence) will be a 'figata' (figata = awesome thing) I thank them too, though I'm watching the puntate at RaiDue's webpage. Perhaps I'm too optimistic about my ability to learn some Italian and I'm missing some things of the show (I had to watch the Monica Belluci segment twice), but if I don't learn with this I don't know what could motivate me more It's great to know that if it's too much a try, someone already made the captions for all of us. (No idea about George or the content of that mysterious sheet of paper he didn't read out loud at Radio Italia an hour ago)

    I wonder the same. And the story behind it, because it must have taken a lot of work into the making and the delivering.
