Quite right too. It's 9:15 in the morning and I've already sent home my first lot of votes for the maestro. In a way, I'm dreading Monday night because I'll be a wreck, and I'll be seriously bricking-it, but to see our awesome young man walk off with the emas, expecially since no one on British TV have given a toss about his brilliant single!. But I saw him on THE HITS channel last night where they showed the top 20. At last I got to record his video. On Virgin Media, the channel is 340. I don't know what it is on SKY or FREEVIEW.

 

Love today, from Marilyn

I made a mistake about the number of the channel. It's 330, not 340, and they repeat the top 20 next morning. So next week we can see Mika win the awards, then next day, see his video on THE HITS

Love again from Marilyn

Oh thanks for the support! If you want to get in touch with GMTV then just go on the sebsite http://www.gmtv.co.uk and click on 'contact us'. Of course Mika can please himself whether he goes on shows or not, but we'd like him to at least have that choice, and after the lack of even a mention of his wonderful ballad, Happy Endings, I think it'sthe final straw.

Channel 4, however, should be thanked, because they, at least, have shown his concerts and his video (even though it was late at night) and if we thank them for supporting Mika, they may support him even more. They are http://www.channel4.co.uk

I just think we need to tell the media that Mika has some fans out there, and it will certainly do not harm to Mika, if we do that.

Love again today, from Marilyn

Morning ...

 

Did anyone else hear Mika on Radio 1 at around 7.30 this morning , apart from Chris Moyles talking over the first few mins it was great! , now I need new car speakers and a voice box !

 

Oh my goodness, thanks for telling us! Because I have been fuming about the British media ignoring our wonderful Mika! He has not even been mentioned on GMTV or Entertainment Today, and I have already contacted them through the website, to tell them a few home truths. If Mika's video had been played, or his single mentioned on the air I'd have been happy. I think it's a miracle he's got to number 7 with no publicity and no mention of him. It would also be great if he was actually invited onto some shows in his own country! If you want to get in touch and add your voice, it's gmtv.co.uk. I don't know how to do a link.

Love today, from Marilyn

This is good news and will be great TV. But after this has happened I hope they stop comparing Mika to Freddie. His career, and his music, is already different from Freddie's. He's Mika! Not a Freddie Mercury tribute artist!!!

Love today, from Marilyn

I've sent that poem to Triond,the agency I write for, I've included the addresses for mikasounds, mikamyspace, and mikafanclub. They didn't put any links on the article I wrote last time, but maybe they will this time and then Mika will get some more fans on his side.

Love today, from Marilym

HERE'S THE LINK. . .

Oh bless you! I don't know how to do a link! By the way, did I post on here that I made a mistake about Happy Endings. It's actually number 7

Love today, from Marilyn

I'm 53 and I love Mika to pieces. He's actually two months younger than my son Steve.

Do you know, I have been at work since 9am and had the radio on all day and not heard Happy Ending once! Bad Radio 2!

Ye, well there's going to be a campaign. Keep a look out on the threads. The media in this country are a damn disgrace and want telling! To begin with, please email gmtv.co.uk. You can get onto their site and contact them from there. Ask them why they've never even mentioned Mika and his single. Tell them we's like to see him on the show sometime, and remind them that Mika is a star who didn't need the X Factor to give him a push.

Love today, from Marilyn

Okay, here's the thing. I know we can't expect Mika to drop everything and come on loads of shows over here. That is not what this is about.

But look, guys and girls, Happy Ending is number 7 in this week's charts. That is a miracle, considering Mika has had no coverage on TV. I know that the latest pop-clone, Shayne Ward, and nice-and-tuneful-but-deadly-dull Leona Lewis came off the X Factor, but seriously, did they really need all that attention.

Yes they did in fact, because it got Shayne's song to number 2, even though it's a piece of crap, and Leona will probably get to number one with her bleeding love song (no I didn't forget the commas before the word bleeding and after the word love) and also, arn't they making a fuss of Chico, because he's been clever enough to think of recording a song that praises big girls and calls them beautiful. Oh goodness me! why didn't anyone else think of that? Oh wait! Mika already did! Does Mika get the credit? Does he hell! Do you see what I mean? All we want is for the media to acknowledge Mika, not fawn over him or give him any over the top hype. Just show his videos and, perhaps occasionally, his concerts, at a time when we are all still awake, and maybe invite him onto GMTV occasionally as well. Is that too much to ask.

So I've kicked off my campaign by emailing gmtv.co.uk. This is also where I'd like to ask for help, because I'd like to post links to the TV stations or radio stations, if they are ignoring him too, but I don't know how to do that, so I'd like to find an accomplace who knows all that stuff. But the sort of things to tell the channels, in emails, would be, that Mika is not just writing clappy happy pop tunes, he's writing beautiful ballads as well, and is becomming a bit of a rock-god on the quiet. He transends genres and he's a global treasure. Also tell them how adorable he is in interviews, and how entertaining. He's compulsive viewing whether he is singing, or speaking!

Just think. If he was on an interview at a time when people are actually watching, he would have the whole country at his feet. The only reason he doesn't have them at his feet now, is because people don't really know him like we do. If they did, Happy Ending would already be number 1.

So, if you agree with me, please start by emailing gmtv.co.uk, as I have done, and tell them you want to see Mika.

Love today, from Marilyn

Yes it's 33 now. That's great! I have another number for you. Happy Endings is no 9 in the charts. That's good, considering the fact that everyone above him gets plugged more often than a bathtub, and their faces on the telly, more often than they look into a mirror.

 

Anyway, I've made a decision. You seem to like my poem, so I'm going to send it off to an agency I write for. They'll post it on some sites. If you are interested, I do have an article about Mika on Quazen/arts/music/Mika The Multi-coloured Maestro. I don't know how to put in a direct link to it, but you should find it with this.

 

Love today, from Marilyn

Apparently, Happy Endings is number 7, so that's better news. It was my son who told me it was 9 and he must have made a mistake. Still, I stand by what I said and will try and co-ordinate a campaign to get fans writing into the TV stations, so watch the threads for details

Love today

From Marilyn

Yes Mika's Happy Endings is number 7. It was my son who told me it was number 9, I'm glad we've got that sorted.

But I do think that the British media should give Mika some airtime, either live on a talk show, or, if Mika is too busy, they could at least show one of his videos occasionally, or Channel 5 could show a concert. I'm not saying that he should be fawned over and that his face should be on TV so much that people get sick of him. I'm only saying he deserves a mention.

Yes, we have the awards coming up, and if he wins them, as we hope, that will help a lot, so will the Sofeminine poll which, lets face it, he has already won. But it wouldn't do any harm for us to write to the TV stations about Mika, and let them know he has fans out there who love him, so I'm going to start a campaign to get the fans to do that. As I say, it won't do any harm, and it might do some good.

Love today, from Marilyn

That's a mracle, considering Mika has had absolutely no coverage

or promotion in Britain. I am so disgusted. His country's

media shouls be ashamed of themselves and this means we

have even more reason to vote for Mika. We... his fans... must

promote him ourselves. I think we need to also get onto the

TV sites in this miserable country and put them straight. If

Mika is busy, he need not actually be on live tv all the time, but

the least he deserves is a mention, and maybe, to have his video

played.

Love today, from Marilyn

There has been absolutely NO promo for HE. It's completely unfair. How come, for example, Shayne Ward's lastest method of torture is everywhere, and the most amazing song ever is barely being adknowledged?

Also, the most a magazine reviewer has given it is THREE STARS!!! I don't think they even listened to it - especially since the one in Look magazine described HE as 'more colourful pop to dance around to.' Which, obviously, it isn't.

I agree entirely. I am so angry. Anyway, I've written a poem about Mika, his life and his struggles. it's over on the Sofeminine thread, and I'm going to send it to an agency I write for, who will post it on some sites. But the slightly better news is that Happy Endings is number 9 now, and that waste of space, Shane Ward is number 10. It's not much consolation, but better than nothing. Maybe the fan club should lobby the TV stations, to get them to make as much fuss of Mika as they make of him abroad. God... Even America treat him better than he's treated in his veryo own country, who should be proud of him!

Yes it's 33 now. That's great! I have another number for you. Happy Endings is no 9 in the charts. That's good, considering the fact that everyone above him gets plugged more often than a bathtub, and their faces on the telly, more often than they look into a mirror.

Anyway, I've made a decision. You seem to like my poem, so I'm going to send it off to an agency I write for. They'll post it on some sites.

Love today, from Marilyn

you should make a thread for that poem so more people see it

it's LOVELY!! :wub2:

How would I do that? Do you mean, type it out again in a new thread? I'll do it if people think I should, but I'd like it to be here as well.

Anyway, we're all doing so great here, but remember that there are only 7 more days for us to make sure that 'The Sexiest Man On The Planet' walks away with 2 EMAs. So please, don't neglect this thread, but help us get 2 awards for Mika, after all, it's about his music, and that is even more important than how sexy he is.

I'm sure you agree.

Love today, from Marilyn

A boy was born in a land of war,

Where the bombs and bullets fell,

But thankfully, this precious life,

Was taken from that place of hell,

To find some safety and to grow,

To be a man man we'd come to know.

A beautiful, creative mind,

A soul, which is, for music, made,

A brilliant brain with a cruel flaw,

He could not read the notes he played,

Yet still, he played, and songs were born,

Out of the darkness, came the dawn.

To share his music, was his dream,

Recording companies disagreed.

A cannon, loose, beyond control,

Could not be what the public needs.

But his cheesey smile, his voice, his songs,

We're what we'd needed for so long!

A voice which soars to the stratesphere,

Found the world-wide internet,

The world discovered Mika there,

Soon after, his career was set.

To those who spurned him, he gave some 'welly'

It topped the charts! It's called 'Grace Kelly'!

The world no longer spins, in space,

Instead, it spins in cartoon motion!

Mika is throwing his worldwide party,

On every shore, of every ocean.

And so, to God, this prayer I'm sending...

Thank you for Mika! He's our happy ending!

I just thought I'd write this poem as a homage to Mika, and to encourage everyone who's voting on this exciting thread!

Love today, from Marilyn

It's 32 Mika, 26 Depp. Well done everyone!

Love today, and don't forget the MTV awards as well, from Marilyn

Here's a question (that i cannot answer!!), what can we expect from Mika's second album. Will be as light hearted and colourful as the last one or will it be dark and gothic (dont think so...). Will the Quenn legend Mr. May be on it as rumoured for so long and if so will it be more rock instead of pop??? What will his album art be like??? Will his live concerts be as mad as they are now??!! ( and i mean "mad" in a good way) Or am I just thinking ahead too much.

 

Anyway let me know your thoughts.....

Mika's music will evolve, like any other artist. I think it's good that he can adapt himself to so many different styles. That way, he never gets boring and never gets pigeon holed. I am sure his songs will still be tuneful. I really love HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE ME and really hope that it is on the album!!

I'd really like to also hear Mika in some duets with other people (Not Amy Winehouse though) Not dueting on the album, but perhaps on TV, because it would be fun to watch. Looking forward to The Brits and his duet with Brian or Rufus.

Love today from Marilyn

There's a frequently played commercial on mtv promoting "The Hills" as well as another program I can't remember... and who's song is playing in the backround but MIKA's !!! Love Today is the song I believe.

 

How exciting is this!!!

 

We are all here in appreciation of an amazing new artist, right at the beginning, and we are gonna watch as every one of our friends catches on, and is in complete love with Mika. And we are just gonna say, "Told you so". Lol.

It's like I have been saying for months. Why even bother with The X Factor this year (except to promote Simon and Louis acts) when we already have a living, breathing,walking hunk of X Factor gorgeousness, who can sing better that all of the X Factor contestants, both past and present, put together. Oh don't worry, America can't hold out forever. I think they are already warming to Britain's adopted son, and I'm really glad to hear about the comercial. I wish one of Mika's fantastic songs was on an advert over here! Wouldn't that be great, and for the first time in our lives, we'd go to the loo, and make the tea, DURING the programes, not the adverts.

Love today, from Marilyn

Hey, guess what! I got onto Music On Demand, fine. Started playing Mika's video and, low and behold, the tight fisted gits at Virgin Media wouldn't let me record it! So I would sooner stick with you tube, after all, at least you get to see the videos for free, and they are much easier to access than with Music On Demand, where the artists are listed in alphabetical order, and even when you get to M, you still have to wait for the I etc.

But thanks for telling us about it.

Love today, from Marilyn

hey everyone

So we made the scrapbook and mika got it

THANK U MIKA! SUMMER! SUNNY! FANCLUB PEOPLE! lol

OOOH I've only been in the club a month or so, and did not know about the book. Will there be another one, so that I can contribute.

The only thing I am upset about is, I can't find out how to make pictures from my mobile phone (a motorola RAZR) go onto my computer. I've bought 3 different bluetooth kits, but still cannot make the two things connect. I'd appreciate any advice, because I'd love to be able to send a message to Mika in the scrapbook, but I wouldn't be able to put a picture onto it.

I'd appreciate any advice.

Love today, from Marilyn

Thanks for posting this. I have Virgin media. I have been gutted that Mika has had no airtime, not even clips of concert footage or the showing of his video. You'd think he didn't exist, when we know for sure HE DOES!!! I hope I can record his videos onto the DVD I'm cobbling together. I've also ordered his new DVD on Amazon.

Love today, from Marilyn

I just saw it go to 31! Well done to the most fantastic fans, who love the most fantastic performer in the world... oh... and The Sexiest Man On The Planet!!!

Love today (my mouse is killing me) from Marilyn

He's gonna win! He has to. He's the best there is. But when he wins, we win too because we'll have done it for him!!!

The best singer/songwriter/performer, and the most humble of all celebrities! He is the only one who doesn't want to be called a celebrity, yet he's the only one these days who truly deserves the title.

He doesn't want his face on album covers, or posters, yet he is the most gorgeous looking guy with a smile to melt the hardest heart.

Instead of acting like some male prima donna and acting like he's owed some worship, he'll hug people without hesitation. How many other people even in everyday life, are like Mika? Not many, I would say.

He has a singing voice that reaches the stratesphere, and a speaking voice that could melt the polar icecaps.

However hard we have to work to get him these awards will worth it when we see him going up to claim them.

Love today, Keep voting, from Marilyn
