Rowayda

lol...if he did do that, then it's bitchy but fine. He's under no obligation to hang around with every celeb-tard who comes into his way. I wonder what the general opinion of Jordan will be when she's 70 years old and all shrivelled up, leaving behind a legacy of **** "autobiographies" written by ghostwriters.

lol, wtf? How is he "hardly a breakthrough artist"... Lily Allen needs to keep her gob shut if she can't offer justified criticism of other artists, at the very least.

He was at no.9 last week . The new album chart positions come out tomorrow - we'll see where he is then.

Like when he does his "apple-open-mouth" pose - except that this time it was genuine

I couldn't help but laugh at Mika's face when Mark Ronson was announced as the winner . The affair was pretty much a shambles, but it was funny. Sharon was dire, and Vic Reeves was even worse. Fearne Cotton made me want to poke my own eyeballs out, and no way should Kate Nash have won an award. The Arctic Monkeys...hmm, they were drunk and don't really give a crap, but I must admit, I was getting fed up of all the "Brit School" worshipping, so them taking the mick was welcomed . Congrats to Mika for going home with something anyway!

Hmmm...more speculation about performances? Yes, it's actually Love Today, but still, could be plausible. Particularly as he'll be opening the show, so it needs to be a fairly dramatic song (which Love Today is). http://www.mirror.co.uk/showbiz/3am/2008/02/20/the-nominations-89520-20325068/

All I keep thinking of is that Lily Allen was nominated for four last year too, but didn't win anything...Mika's better than her though

I think he will only win Best Male. Breakthrough Act will probably be The Klaxons (I think they're great, so I wouldn't mind them winning), Best Single will be won by some of the more obsessive voters (old Take That fans probably, or Leona), and Best Album will most likely be Favourite Worst Nightmare. If he wins Best Male, I'll be happy

Yeah, I've voted six or seven times already One from each of my family members' mobiles, and the home phone - they won't mind

I'll be glued to the TV I hope Bat for Lashes picks something up, but it's unlikely.

I'll just stick to anticipating the performance of Big Girl. Everything so far has pointed towards that being the song (from general rumours to what Adele said), so at least if he doesn't perform it, it'll be a surprise (as opposed to a let down if he does...which I hope won't happen!) If it's crap, there'll be plenty of time to criticise it on here. Some posters are capable of doing that even more effectively than fawning over everything-Mika

They'll have a 30-second live delay, probably to quickly filter out swear words, etc, but if anything really bad happens... It'll bring in the viewers, that's for sure.

That's true. I might email them if people still can't get through after a while.

Perhaps the only consolation is that some people voting for other artists can't get through either Although I doubt anyone here will attempt it to see

Glad James Blunt's out

I agree with a lot of the points made in this thread, even though they may seem contradictory - the fact that it's not necessarily new anecdotes we're looking for, but audience interaction; the way in which Mika appears to want to be in control of every aspect of his performance, hence the banter may not come quite so easily. I do, however, think that the issue has sometimes been phrased in a po-faced and slightly priggish manner.

Yeah, I agree. You see it at its worst if you ever venture on those "I hate Mika" groups on Facenook. Not liking someone is one thing, but wishing death on them and going into gory descriptions I find to be revolting. It's almost like the Parisian mob in the French Revolution - yearning for blood because of all that hatred inside. I hear a lot of slating of Mika too, but I always people that even if they hate his music, he's a great guy anyway (which sometimes works on them )

Heh, it's kinda confusing. I prefer a simple love calculator http://www.love-calculator.org

What? No way! That's the best part, even if you do happen to butcher it

Interesting review. I don't really mind negative criticism if it's not done maliciously - his shows aren't perfect yet, as the feedback thread in the "Mika Chat" subforum shows.

No! Curly hair =/= looking the same xD

I don't know about the song, but Big Girl might be done because it's convenient to put on a show with inflatable big girls, etc. I haven't seen it verified anywhere on the Brits website or an official music news site, so I'm taking all the rumours with a pinch of salt.

They can't even keep track of how many nominations they dish out? The Brits were never a serious affair

Haha... xD. No idea. There's no evidence to suggest that he is or isn't.

Yep, same here. The earliest I would actually expect would be towards the end of the year, if that. I'm in no hurry, although very intrigued.
