:winner_first_h4h: Isn't she married to her music? Is Mika her music?

Yes, it is! I can't imagine why!

I guess I could always start collecting robots and art as my hobby instead of singing. Anywhooo...I'm no Susan Boyle and I'm getting too old to break into the music industry. Although, singing is how I met most of my celeb friends.

BINGO!

I've often thought about it; however, I sort of dislike the music industry. It really is the most unglamorous place to be. Unfortunately, things haven't changed that much. Yes, there are more avenues to get your music out there. But, the Record Companies still try to mould you and they OWN you. I'm sure Mika would agree. Of course, I work for the Government now...and, it's the same story with a lot less money. But, I was trying to make a point and not make it about me. Gaga does what she does for attention. It gets her name out there....her record company is loving every minute of this. We sure are talking about her now. It's working for her.

You know, being in L.A, I do have a few celeb friends that I occassionally hang out with. Yes, it took me months of earning their trust before I would start telling them certain things. My favorite saying now is, "don't go all Celebrity on me...or, I'm ditching your @ss! I don't put up with the Celeb behavoir. When they act like a celeb, I'll start acting like a FAN. It works two ways. We all have our moments. So, yes...I bet when Gaga showed up at his house, his first reaction was probably..."Oh, Brother." To put it nicely. I mean, it's not like he could back out of the date or tell her what to wear. However, if they hung out more, I'm sure he would probably tell her a few things. That is, if we even understand Mika well. We may not. People do change in this business wether we like it or not. They have their set of peers that they hang out with like we do. It's a business and they too network. I just know a few people that are really careful about their image and know certain people they need to avoid being seen with so their image isn't tarnished. No matter how nice that person is. Oh, poor Mika...he just can't win with us. It's too bad that the Papparazzi had to put all this out there. It sucks for him. Staged or not.

Okay, I did go out with one of my D list (A-lister in the 80's) celeb friends once who showed up in a ridiculous outfit and he had nose hairs coming out. I said, "Dude, I'm not going anywhere with you until you change out of those ridiculous clothes and trim those nose hairs. He was pissy with me. But, he did change. I don't care who you are, it's disrespectful to go out with someone in ridiculous clothes. And yes, it is attention seeking. OMG..am I really going here. I'm usually so good about not getting involved on here. But, who you hang out with is a reflection on you. Period. It's one thing to be in your stage clothes on stage but when you take those stage clothes in a public setting, what did she expect....people would just look away and not stare. I'm a fan of Gaga's...but, this did seriously irritate me. Mika is so sweet that I really don't see him appreciating her attitude if this really did happen at the restaurant. *rant over*

Okay, here's my take...short and sweet. 1. Mika is a brilliant artist. 2. Lady Gaga is a brilliant artist...great voice. Now, I have to say this. In 1997, I was interviewed by a record company, who discovered me singing karaoke. I was really nervous about the interview because they said that they were interested in signing me. I met them at a restaurant and I brought a friend with me for support. During the interview, they asked me the following questions: 1. Record Company: Who do you see yourself being like? ME: I would like to think that I could be me. 2. Record Company: Who are you? Who could you see yourself being like? ME: I hope myselft. 3. Record Company: What do you think of Madonna? Me: I like her but, I couldn't dress like her or do the type of publicity stunts that she does. 4. Record Company: Why not? Me: It's not who I am. I'm a little bit shy in person, but not when I'm singing. 5. Record Company: You need an image like that. Me: Why? Why do I have to be like Madonna. Can't we find another route. 6. Record Company: Madonna is very successful at what she does and we find this type of behaviour to be very lucrative for this business. Me: Oh! Well, I'm not sure what to do. 7. Record Company: We need you to go home and think about all this and get back with us. Me: Okay ME NOW: I work for the Government. Too chicken to be like Madonna. Guess I have standards. So, I admire Mika for sticking up to who he wanted to be. So, i understand why Gaga does what she does in her off time. I could never do that. It's all about publicity for her. I don't think she thought of Mika much when she wore this outfit. I hate record companies. When Mika wrote "Grace Kelly" he was SPOT ON!!

This seriously made me giggle.

Oh, I would love to really think that. I WISH! I love how he manages to give eye contact to everyone. But, one of my favorite moments when he was leaving the stage was when he was slapping hands on the way down. I know you got some good hand action. I loved when he stopped in front of me, took both my hands, intertwined his fingers in mine and said HELLO. I was like...... Then, I was like..."Did that just really happen?"

Awe, he was, huh? Yeah, it's cute. You know, if I had on 3 layers of shirts, there is no way that I could even begin to close that jacket. LOL

He robbed the gene pool. Not much hope for any other man !

I think this one does too. I love where he's looking. Oh, it's Wednesday...we were all queueing this time last week.

Hey Y'all! I organized my pics and broke the links Sorry, here are the new links. Mika at the Roxy http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j67/cchristys/MIKA%20At%20Roxy/ Mika and Perez http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j67/cchristys/Mika%20and%20Perez/

OMG.....It's becoming a distant memory already. It's so not fair. It's been 17 months since I first saw him in Glasgow and since I first met the MFC!

I bet he means this more on a personal/friendship note.
