thank you thank you thank you! for the translation and the upload!! great interview....but i'm still scared of clowns:boxed:

Me, too. But it's nice to hear why he likes them. Sweet.

*subscribes*

My God, I just waded through a huge amount of posts. Thanks for the pics and links everyone!

Can't wait to hear what "Rain" sounded like. (Unless someone already posted audio to that and I missed it.)

More pics from flickr!!!!!!

Haha, I love the one of the keyboardist dancing.

Stuck In The Middle ... with rain ... and a shirtless Mika ...

Why am I the only one here?

Haha, everyone is reading the Paris thread. But THANK YOU SO MUCH for the videos!!! The cover is wild...with Sam singing and everything. Wow. With all these additions to the band, there's a lot going on!

Hmmm, interesting. We'll just have to wait and see what he's like, and how well he can play. If he works for Mika, he has to be good.

Oh my word, I love him.

Great vids! Sam seems awesome, and the dance they all did rocks. I'm jealous Louboutin gets to work so closely with Mika and Yasmine. And Yasmine is amazing as well.

Love them all.

Now I want a vid where Mika introduces us to the keyboardist.

big girls dressed in Moulin Rouge-suits

Randomness: Mmm, one of my favorite movies.

I already MQed you before because I was going to comment. That's hilarious because my friend has the same hair and didn't know what to dress as to MY Happy Potter release party '07 and I had those exact same glasses and forced her to wear them + random assortment of shawls. You guys look identical. Best costume ever.

Haha, amazing. At the party I went to, there were a few Professor Trelawney's, but I was the only one with really cool glasses.

 

:blink:A chicken, a ballerina-cow and Andy?

:roftl:

Oh, and do you know who he got dressed up in lollipop?

I heard there was some contest to win the chance to be a Lollipop Girl. I read it a few (quite a few) pages back.

?

 

was in in the US? tell the story!

I wants to know!

I'm sure there's a YouTube link somewhere...

Goodnight!!!

And by the way, in your avvie, are you Professor Trelawney?

Haha, I'm so glad you can tell! I worked hard on that look. Harry Potter midnight party '07. W00T.

apron, tea towel, scarf, fabric remnant, did-his coat-get-torn-in-the-car-door-on-the-way-to-the-show?....

whatever it is, it's given us something to talk about!

Maybe it's a good luck charm/towel, or has religious/cultural significance? I think it's cool. Very Mika.

as someone wisely said, He will always be Mika, take it or leave it.

I believe that was me.

Same youtube News, Better Quality

Thank you! That IS much better quality.

I am off to bed. Looking forward to reading through a bajillion posts tomorrow as well.

I wonder if Mika will be able to sleep at all tonight, knowing what's happening tomorrow...

I am kinda wary about typing Virgin 17 into Google - I might get

stuff I don't want!!!

I totally Googled that before I read your post. It was kind of disturbing. I got the link to the real Virgin 17 website, but also a blog with the question "Is it normal to be a virgin at 17?" or something like that.

By the way, thought Mika looked wonderful. YAY for real braces!!

I'm curious about this keyboardist. I need to see more of him to make a valid judgement.

Yeh we have a thread somewhere , even I couldnt find it

 

But its a huge % of girls

No surprise there. The girls are in love with him, think he's gorgeous, etc....which adds to the fandom. I bet some guys here think the same way!

Must be tough for you, FD.

Approximate ...

 

98% of MFC is girls

 

70% average age 16-17

 

Last time we looked

Wow, really, 98%? That's funny...poor guys. I am a girl, but I'm above the average age. It seems like a lot of the regular posters are older than 16-17.

Didn't I also read in the translated article that lots of behind-the-scenes Mika footage is being filmed? All the preparations and everything? It said there was going to be a behind-the-scenes special. I hope that's part of the DVD.

I don't know which Mika will turn out to be, but given what he did on his first album, I think he's going to end up blowing our minds.

 

All that being said, he still strikes me as someone I would love to have for tea or take out for drinks and I wouldn't hesitate to welcome the opportunity if I got it.

I sort of have that feeling, too. That he's going to blow our minds.

And oh my goodness, I would love to have tea with him! Pick his brain about music, art, life, etc. Plus he could show me how to make the perfect cup--Mika style. *loves tea*

thats true, if he was an ass I probably would stop coming to the MFC..

Well, if he became an ass NOW, I'd probably stay on the MFC because I like talking to people here. But if he had always been that way, I wouldn't have cared to join in the first place.

Good thing he's so wonderful.

First, thank YOU for the translation and scans!!!

OMG OMG!

..I can't be there 1 BUT I WANT PICS AND STORIES AND VIDS!

Oh what I would give to go to that gig -sigh-

I know. God, I want to be there SO badly.

But...*sigh*...Mika said if we can't be there, it's OK because there will be video. Still...to be there in person...

so true. If he starts acting like a complete rich famous bastard in person, I might lose interest in him on a personal level, but as long as he writes music that is such incredibly genius, I will still be there. I started with his music and I will continue with that..

 

hearing about him being such a swell guy who is nice and genuine is just an amazing perk to me

Yeah, honestly...I kind of have a fandom personality. I'm a huge Hanson, Ewan McGregor, and now Mika fan. But these people all have something in common--they're NICE people, kind to their fans (and oftentimes very patient), and genuinely good people. If someone's music or acting skills are amazing but they're conceited or disrespectful to their fans, I can't be a diehard fan. Because their personality does matter; it matters a lot.

If Mika was a jerk, I'd still listen to his music...occasionally. But it wouldn't be as fun, and I doubt I'd have ever made it to the MFC.

sniff...sniffle... WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH:crybaby:

*Now openly balling eyes out, grabs a tissue, hands it to Mikal00v3 and reaches out for a hug*

Its ok, sniffle, sniffle, ive never met him either. Its almost a pian that I feel in my stomach because ive never met him. WAHHHHHHHH MIKA COME TO THE USA!

He HAS been to the USA.

And *sigh* I don't think he'll be back for awhile. At least not to tour.

Mika is definitely still Mika. As some people said, he has the money to do more with his shows, music, clothes, etc. And heck yes, he's going to use that money! I suppose he has changed, but it's his natural evolution as an artist. He's going to become a bit more put together, and professional at working in "the biz" but I don't think the essence of Mika will ever change. I have faith that he knows who he is, and won't lose sight of that.

He's evolving and growing up, and that's going to look different. But this new video and new website were both things he had a hand in and is excited about, so I'm going along with it. I think it's going to be great, and I think we have nothing but good things to look forward to with his music and shows in the future.

Besides, no matter what happens or how much he changes, he'll always be Mika. Take it or leave it.

yes but most boys don't grow until they are a bit older...plus his arms don't look like 14 year old boy arms.

 

and his face is still boyish, but starting to get those harder lines...

maybe 15 then..at the youngest.

*stares at pic*

I dunno, he could totally pass for 15 in my book. His face looks young.

that is really REALLY scary!!!

 

yeah..I was a bit..under the influence perhaps...considering all the kids who had sat on that..urghh...

 

why would they invite a fast food representative back?

No idea. They thought it was fun. I shudder at the memories.

And yes, that is why I make a point never to be that under the influence. You never know what you'll do...and who has a video camera!

Well...6'4" with his hair haha

Hahaha, so true! :roftl:

*loves him*

woah. only twice? how do you resist!?

Yeah, seriously! I downloaded it to my iPod last night. It was the last thing I watched before going to bed.

I'd say he looks 16 or older there...because he is almost as tall as the director. and just the way he is holding himself.

He's very tall, though. 6'3" or 6'4" right? The director was probably short...er.
