You are so right, and it's what I've been saying. His managers, or PAs haven't done him any favours, because, in this country, no one has ever got to see the sweet, boy-next-door who wouldn't hurt a fly. They only know Mika very vaguely, from certain of his songs. If he was in more interviews, people would know him better and admire him more. Apparently, in the Sun the other day, they had a picture of Rhianna, from the World Music Awards, and stated that SHE had been at the World Music Awards!!!! Excuse me, Sun newspaper, were you forgetting one tiny little thing, like Mika's four trophies, or were you just waiting for something to print, to try and bring this awesome man down? Please everyone, go to The Sun site, when it is working and have your say. Please support Mika!!!! Love today, from Marilyn

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but have you seen what's kicking off on the other threads. Mika is in The Sun, accused of taking back a song that Boyzone reckon, he gave them to record. The article makes him look really petty and spiteful. I have no idea what the real story is but I've already posted a comment in. The Sun, on the actual story, and I'm keeping an eye on my thread in the Sun Forum. Please, everyone, get onto the sun site and post a comment on the story itself, saying they need to get Mika's side, and at least we know he isn't in it for the money or he wouldn't care who sings his songs. I don't know how to do a proper link, but the address is http://www.thesun.co.uk but there is a proper link in one of the threads on the subject. Love today, from Marilyn (this is urgent)

There is another thread about this, but basically, everyone, get onto the Sun site. I have posted a comment on the actual story, and have a thread there about Mika which I started last week, when no one mentioned his awesome performance at the awards. My thread, ironically, is called "Why Are Our Media Ignoring Mika". The comment I put on the actual story, says that they need to get Mika's side of things. This proves he's not in it for the money or some extra fame, but I think we all need to know what really happened, because we know Mika isn't spiteful. Why would he give a song away, and then take it back? There must be more to it. There has to be. Love today, from Marilyn

Well, I've been onto The Sun and added a comment on the story. I've said that they need to get Mika's side of the story. He can't have actually signed over the rights to his song, or thay would sue him. but I know he doesn't want his songs used in Karaoke and he wouldn't want just anyone singing his songs, that they can't sing anyway, we can't blame him for that. 'Angels' has been murdered that way. But there are going to be a lot of spiteful comments, so everyone neede to get behind Mika and post our comments. We know Mika isn't spiteful, so it's NOT because of any spite he's done this and this proves, he's not in it for the money, otherwise he wouldn't mind who sings his songs. But if I'd been him, I wouldn't have offered it to a tuneless lump like Ronan Keating, in the first place. I have a thread about Mika in The Sun forum called ironically enough "Why Are Our Media Ignoring Mika" I started it last week, when they didn't even mention his performance at the awards. So it's there, in the entertainment section, for people to have their say. Love again from Marilyn

I think we need to get Mika's side of the story. All stories have two sides, and the papers are only going to print the side they prefer. It's all very confusing, because Mika isn't a spiteful person. If he offered the song to Boyzone, then took it back (as I said before) he was wrong to do that. But I've been thinking about it a lot since my last post, and I don't believe Mika would refuse them the song, without a good reason. Could Mika possibly make a statement to us, with his side of things? Then, at least we would know how to support him in this, because we would know the truth. As I said before, this could damage his reputation if people think he is selfish and spiteful, when he isn't. I have a thread about Mika in The Sun Forum. I could go onto the thread and tell his side of the story, if we knew what his side of it really is. Love again, from Marilyn

Yes, I'll copy it out because I can't scan it PULL THE PLUG! i'VE DECIDED NOT TO WATCH tHE x fACTOR THIS YEAR AS I'M SO DISGUSTED BY THE FACT THAT SIMON AND LOUIS ARE USING THE SHOW TO PROMOTE THEIR ACTS. THEY'VE ALREADY BROUGHT IN LEONA LEWIS, AND SHAYNE WARD AND WESTLIFE ARE ALSO SET TO APPEAR, THUS CONTINUING THE CONSTANT SHAMEFUL PLUGGING OF THEIR ARTIST'S WORK. WHY NOT GET SOMEONE GENUINELY TALENTED, LIKE MIKA TO DO THE MENTORING. OH, THAT'S RIGHT, SIMON REJECTED HIM. Actually, I have seen bits of X Factor, because my son watches it. I've seen what they are doing to that poor guy Rhydian. I mean, the guy is an opera singer. Isn't that okay for them? The poor guy looks so uncomfortable and so stupid in those daft clothes. It's all about the judges now, not the contestants at all. It's just a way for Simon and company to keep their acts at number one. Since X Factor came along, there has been no fair fight for the Christmas Number One, and no fair fight at the time of the show, when the judges are plugging their established acts who don't need X Factor any more and should be fending for themselves the way Mika does. Love today, from Marilyn

This has got me worried! It could damage Mika's reputation and the respect he has from other artists. If he wasn't using the song, and had made it available to other artists, I honestly don't see what the problem is. Boyzone are sure to still have a lot of fans and probably would have been number 1. I can understand, that Mika may have not liked their version of his song, but maybe he shouldn't have offered it to them in the first place. I think it would have been great for Mika to have a song, sung by a major boy band (or whatever they are now) at number one. It would have been a big thing for him. Boyzone could write their own song, but i think it would have been an honour for them to do a Mika song. It shows they love his work and respect him as a songwriter. I am worried now, how this is going to look to people who are not Mika's fans. I honestly don't understand why he gave them the song, and then took it back. I'm sorry, I love him, but I think he was wrong and he's given his critics plenty of ammunition to use against him. Love today, from Marilyn

Well it's working. The lollipop guy is up to 8%. Well done!

I know, in different countries, they release different singles. I think Relax, has been recently number one in Lebanon and Israel (I might be wrong) The singles don't all come out at the same time all over the world. It is confusing. But it is probably about the DVD. At the moment, in Britain, we have the Woolworths ad playing. Then next week, they should advertise the DVD. It's all good!!!! Love today, from Marilyn

Absolutely amazing!!! Well done MIKA. Just let anyone try to steal your name now!!!! The man has worked so hard. No other performer works harder, and there has truly, never been anyone in the world of music and entertainment, like our Mika. For his hard work around the world, for his voice, his wonderful meaningful songs, I thank him with all my heart. It's time the whole industry, and indeed the whole world, all sat up and realised what a special, wonderful man he is, and how lucky we all are to have him with us. It's time he was known for his wonderful music, not for the stuff he won't talk about which doesn't matter!!! I am sick of people focussing on all that rubbish, when we have such a wonderful musician amongst us. Love today, from Marilyn

The trouble is, I don't know how to scan, but I'll copy it for everyone on this thread. It's no use making a new thread, The threads just end up getting lost. I posted my news on my Sun Forum thread. PULL THE PLUG! I've decided not to watch The X Factor this year, as I'm so disgusted by the fact that Simon and Louis are using the show to promote their acts. They've already brought in Leona Lewis, and Shayne Ward and Westlife are also set to appear, thus continuing the shameful plugging of their artist's work. Why not get someone genuinely talented like MIKA to do the mentoring? Oh, that's right, Simon rejected him. I wrote it because I am genuinely pissed off about Simon going on about Leona and Shayne, and Louis going on about Westlife (boring song it is too) and our poor guy had hardly any promotion of his single, Yet it's way better than any of the others. I couldn't resist the sarcastic dig at the end. Oh well... I think Princess Grace Kelly would be so proud of my sarcasm, in fact, she's probably doing the thumbs-up sign in Heaven, as we speak. Love today, from Marilyn

Well it's nice to see other artists having a go. But for most of them it would be career suicide to try to sing a Mika song. That's why we will probably never hear anyone cover Mika on the X Factor. Love today, from Marilyn

Woah...! Don't forget the four awards he scooped the other night... I'm talking about the talented Mr. Penniman of course. But here are some suggestions for practrical uses for Belgium Bitch, and Maori Idiot's CDs if we find them in a bin somewhere. They could be hung on wires and used as Sun Catchers They could be photographed against a dark background, and the pictures sold to the papers as UFO sightings. They could be used as frisbies. If you were stranded on a desert island, they could be used as mirrors, to start fires, or signal passing ships (that is if you could tear yourselves away from listening to your 6 Mika Penniman songs) You could show those two Mikas, their own reflctions. They would both turn to stone and leave our Mika alone! We could shove the CDs sideways up their arses, after all, if they want to be Mika, they need to learn to sing some high notes. Shoving their CDs up their arses might just do it.... Then again... Maybe not. Love today, from Marilyn

I have a letter in Total TV Guide. I sent it in to complain about the X Factor judges using that show to constrantly plug their acts. It also gave me an excuse to mention a guy with REAL talent.... and I don't mean Rhydian!!! So maybe this is another way to go. Letters in the TV magazines. Love today, and thanks to all who have got involved in this, from Marilyn

Lovely surprise for me today. I opened my new Total TV Guide and they have printed a letter I sent. I complained about The X FActor judges, Simon and Louis, using the show to promote their own acts all the time. I also suggested someone that they could get onto the show to do some mentoring... Someone with REAL talent!!!! Love today, from Marilyn

It's gone down to 6% again. We're going to have to keep an eye on this one. Someone doesn't want Mika to win this!!! Love today, from Marilyn

I actually thought he was Christened, Michael Holbrook Penniman, but was always called Mica, until he slightly changed the spelling so people wouldn't mispronounce his name. By the way. Someone tell that Blegiun bitch to change her name back to Sophie, cos that's what she's really called! In the end, there can be only one Mika - who is just called Mika - and it's our awesome, world famous guy, not some stupid looser, who can't even be found on Google!!!!!! Love today, from Marilyn

Oh yes, I saw! Isn't he fantastic, the way he supports other artists. What a guy!!!!! Love today, from Marilyn

'Sex On Legs' is up to 7% in the new poll. Hey, have you checked out the other threads? Mika has won 4 World Music Awards in Monaco (that's Grace Kelly's place folks) He's won Best selling New Artist. Best selling Male Entertainer. Best selling Rock and Pop Artist. Best British artist!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh that is such good news after he was robbed the other night. But the sad news is that he was too ill to sing. Oh but doesn't he deserve this after all that hard work and feeling so ill as well!!!! It's supposed to be on Channel 4 on the 7th November, but I can't see where it says it's on. Not in my TV Guide. Love today, from Marilyn

I can't see, where it says it's on Channel 4. It's not in my TV Guide. Love today, from Marilyn

This news has made my year! Yes, any award based on sales and that kind of thing, are going to go to Mika! This is more important than those EMA that he was robbed of! I think the EMAs were rigged anyway, the voting ended too soon, and surely all the people from Europe, wouldn't have been voting for a Canadian girl with a crappy song and not much of a voice. And, you are saying he had to fly off, that very night, when he was ill!!!? He's going to have to listen to his own lyrics "Relax, take it easy". His health is more important than whether we get to see him live at the moment. He needs to rest and get well soon God bless you Mika. Congratulations, and for God's sake, get some rest!!! Love today, from Marilyn

Goodness that was funny. I laughed until I cried. Love today, from Marilyn

Brilliant, God bless you! Love from Marilyn

Yes well... the reason Mika might not have looked 100% at the awards, is that he was ill! But he still looked better than anyone else, and way better than The Wino, or that Avril person!!! Stupid swine, whoever wrote that article!!!!! Love today, from Marilyn

Well done. Thank you! Love from Marilyn
