In this regard I'd like to tell about a foreign contestant, in order to explain better what I mean: he couldn't speak Italian well, so it was difficult for him to express himself and even understand what Mika and the other judges were saying. On one hand it was embarrassing and I felt sorry for him, on the other hand the whole situation was hilarious.

In the end, before saying goodbye to him, Mika explained to him, that we all were laughing and having fun together with him and NOT making fun of him, and that he was a really nice and intelligent guy and had allowed us to play with him.

 

Reading this is very touching! It's wonderful that he took the time to explain to the contestant that people weren't laughing at him. We already know what a sensitive person Mika is but I can't help but be impressed even more when hearing something like this. It's incredibly heartwarming to see how much he cares about the contestants' feelings! Have to say it once again: he's an amazingly kind person!!

Hi everyone! I just want to tell you something. I don't even know if this is the right thread! Anyway on the 2nd of July, at Xfactor Bootcamp, I managed to give to Mika a bracelet that I made for him a while ago. He put it on during the show! I still can barely believe it! I'm sharing this experience with everybody, just to make it real! I really wish everybody could feel like I did sooner or later! It was such a deep emotion!

And again: Thanks Mika!

ps: I got two blurry pics, but I don't know how to post them here

That's lovely! Very sweet of you to make him a bracelet and of him to wear it right away:wub2:

Thanks for sharing your story with us, happy for you!

Mika likes to do jury member!

 

11 and 12 July he will be in Trieste to take part as a judge (for Swatch) in a competition for young designers.

That sounds really fascinating! Hope there will be a way to watch this somehow!

love it! came across this on twitter earlier today and it made me smile

I'm really very happy about this news!

I liked very much his columns on the XL magazine, and a whole book is a very exciting thing

I think Mika totally deserves it he's a complete Artist and I imagine it will be something original like him, not a simple autobiography

Totally agree! I loved reading his column and have missed it very much ever since XL went out of print. Now to have a whole book written by him is super exciting! This book is going to be something like a treasure for me, so much looking forward to reading it:wub2:

Love this!!

So much looking forward to watching this tonight!

yesterday, Mika was in "50 minutes inside" at french TV about the "Boum Boum Boum" video

 

http://videos.tf1.fr/50-mn-inside/replay-50-mn-inside-du-21-juin-2014-8438420.html

 

here is the link for the replay but maybe it's only available in France? so I took some captures...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you so much for the screencaps! Wish 50 mins inside had advertised that they were going to show a reportage for this, I would have watched it on tv.

There's no doubt that the video for this song is going to be 100% like a movie and super amazing! Can't wait to watch it!!!

Lovely little detail! That is very stylish!

:wub2:

Love that:wub2:

Anyone knows why he did that?

Here we are, the promotion for the new single Boum Boum Boum will start tomorrow in France:

 

- Tuesday 10th in the evening: recording of "La chanson de l'année", where Mika is supposed to sing one song: they said first that it would be a duet with Kendji (winner of The Voice), but now that the single is released, maybe he will sing it? That would make sense

Anyway, this recording will be broadcasted on TV, channel TF1 (same than The Voice) on Saturday 14th (evening, from 8:50 PM I guess)

 

- Wednesday 11th: between 6 and 9 AM: guest on radio RFM. We don't know yet how long he will be there, if it will be pre-recorded or not.

http://www.rfm.fr/

 

Then it seems that there will be another interview with him (still on RFM radio) at 7 PM.

 

In the afternoon, he will be recording the "Before du Grand Journal" at 2PM, which will be on TV (Canal +) at 6PM

 

And in the evening, interview with him at radio Hit West from 9PM, it's possible to send questions at lucas@hitwest.com

 

Thanks for all the info Melanie:thumb_yello:

So amazing that tomorrow we're going to hear the new song!!! Super exciting!!

Lovely little video!

Mika said that the energy of the show is very different this year and that instead of merda they should say toi toi toi which is a Dutch expression.

I feel really excited about following this new Italian adventure, even more than last year!

From Mika to Fedez...

so sweet of Mika to welcome Fedez to the adventure this way:wub2:

VIDEO

 

"Le plus grand luxe, c'est la liberté"

could anyone translate please ?

What can I add other than well said!! He's absolutely right, freedom is indeed one of the most important things. Life is empty and meaningless without it. Also very much agree with what he said at the end of this interview! Regardless of wether you're wearing expensive or cheap clothes it's the style and the aesthetic result that counts.

Thanks for the link Eriko:thumb_yello:

we don't have a deadline, yet, we think at least until June, the 15th

thank you

Until when can we send an email for this?

"Qu'est-ce qui vous rend beau? Rire"

Totally agree with that! Laughing (and smiling I would add) is what makes you truly beautiful.

Really loved reading this interview and seeing the drawing of course! And can I just say how happy it made me that he mentioned Greece as a place he'd like to be!! When I first read this all I kept thinking was wow what an amazing surprise:wub2:

I've been thinking a lot these past few days about how fascinating it will be to watch this collaboration! Two people like Mika and Dario Fo who are amazingly talented and also so down-to-earth and kind working together is just super wonderful!

Can't wait!

An OFFICIAL video is uploaded TODAY !!

I'm so glad that the festival uploaded this and we can watch again and again this great quality video. Absolutely love this vid!! Colmar was a such a special gig:wub2:

Btw at 2:47 how amazingly heartwarming is that smile!!

Yes, I feel a lot of joy and fun around XF this year! :thumb_yello:

I know what you mean, I feel the same way! Seeing the way things started yesterday gave me very positive feelings and really made me smile. Especially love the pic Mika posted on instagram

Sold out:wub2:

Great news! Very happy to read that both shows are sold out so many months before they take place! Congrats to Mika

Looks like the new Italian adventure has started in such a fun, positive and wonderful way! Love it!!

Thanks for all the pics, links etc everyone:thumb_yello:

Are you sure you are not mixing with another country? It doesn't seem to me that French people are very polite but glad that you like to come to visit us

I totally agree with Zhenya. I've been to many gigs in France over the years and people have always been very polite. They're the most enthusiastic audience I have ever seen and there never was any rude behavior whatsoever.

Back home in France after a great time in Napoli with Philippe my husband!!!

It's a very nice région and we made tourism (visit of Pompei and the Vesuve!!!)

About the gig: as we arrived at plazza Plebiscito on afternoon, we were a little bit far from the stage but it was cool!

it was great to be there and to see Mika on stage again!!!!

here are some pics

We were very happy to meet other MFCers after the gig! some people took a pic with all the group! can't wait to see it here

Thank you for the pics! Very glad you had such a great time!

It was a fantastic gig, so wish I could have been there! The energy was incredible, Mika's performances were amazing and I'm so glad that he got such a warm and enthusiastic reaction from the crowd! Absolutely loved Lollipop and Origin of Love with the Italian lyrics, they really made me smile:wub2:

Btw did anyone hear the radio interview?

'de Berlioz à Mika', love this!!

thanks for posting:thumb_yello:

Watching again L'Aigle Noir video and I'm beyond impressed by this performance! Mika sung so beautifully and in such a sensitive way! Absolutely adore his performance:wub2:

I've been hoping to hear one more Barbara cover ever since I listened to La Solitude live in Colmar a few years ago. And since this happens to be my favorite Barbara song hearing Mika sing it was a dream come true for me. Really hope that at some point he'll sing this at one of his gigs too just like he did with La Solitude.

Also super excited about the news of having a new single next month!!!
