Never happened to me before with any Mika's videos.

and we've already seen this one before

Found those two more pics.. it's dated 1998, so he must've been around 15 years old.

One Direction are becoming so big that it seems everyone wants a little bit of their magic.
It was rumoured this week that the boys have been working with Bruno Mas on some tracks for their new album and we already know that Ed Sheeran has been collaborating with the lads on songs.
Today, it is reported that Mika is the latest star to become interested in tasting a bit of the 1D pie and the “Grace Kelly” hitmaker admitted that despite being tied up in his own music and projects currently, he would quite like to join forces with the X Factor stars at some point.
In an interview with Sugarscape the quirky performer admitted:
“As a songwriter I think it would be really fun to write something for a boyband because you’d really be able to go all out,” Mika told Entertainmentwise.
“I really want to write the perfect boyband pop song, I’d love to write a song with One Direction!”
We wouldn’t have pegged Mika as a big teen idol person, but it appears that he has a bit of a penchant for the younger men as he was gushing about his meeting with Justin Bieber too.
He continued:
‘”I met Justin Bieber and I shook his hand. He’s got really soft hands. He’s really nice, just a nice kid.’
So what do you think Directioners? Would a Mika and 1D mashup work for you? Do you think they would work well together? Leave your comments below….

Shall we update the lyrics based on the last performance? There are some good videos from France.
I edited the lyrics with what I hear from the latest gigs
Bursting through a blood red sky
A slow landslide
and the world I've left behind
It's enough to lose your head
and disappear and not return again...
When I fall to my feet
Wearin' my heart on my sleeve
All I see just amazes
You are the port of my call
You shot and leavin' me raw
Now I know you're amazing
'Cause all I need
Is the love you breathe
put your lips on me and
I can live underwater,
underwater, underwater
And I can live underwater
Bursting through a bright blue sky
with space (?)
from the world I've left behind
it's enough to lose your head
and disappear
and not return again
When I fall to my feet
Wearin' my heart on my sleeve
All I see just amazes
You are the port of my call
You shot and leavin' me raw
Now I know you're amazing
'Cause all I need
Is the love you breathe
Put your lips on me and
I can live underwater,
underwater, underwater
Underwater
And I can live underwater (x2)
Underwater, underwater, I can live underwater
with your love I can breathe, I can breathe underwater
(x6)

It would make me so happy if he released this as a single, cause I think it could be a huge hit if he markets it the right way.
I can't get over how incredible it is
Totally agree. It was love at first 'listen' to me
I guess my favourite version is still stuck at the Korea gig but of course I love the new one but I don't know.. I feel like he sang it more smoothly in Korea.. (Edit: Okay, the word I'm looking for is not smoothly because in the new version it really can't get any smoother 
) I don't know how to describe it 
But I absolutely adore this song

Going to bed. It's quarter to one and still light outside.

You're saying i'm fat???
Well, then, i'll have to shoot you...
-
That look...
And Zuleika is super lovely!
-
I don't like the idea of that.
Hope he's alright.
I don't think it's anything serious (I hope so). Didn't he do this same 'procedure' before? Maybe around the time of PDP? I don't remember exactly when, but I'm sure he said something about it before, this little camera stuck to his throat thing.

Another review
Mika sticks to the same positive, go-get-em formula in his comeback single, 'Celebrate.'
Mika could be a motivational speaker. All of his music has that uplifting, happy-go-lucky message; “Love Today,” “Grace Kelly,” “Big Girls (You Are Beautiful)” are just a few examples. With “Celebrate,” he proves that he hasn’t lost his penchant for penning peppy songs.
The singer swaps his trademark high-pitched vocal range for a softer, smoother R&B tenor in this single. (During the chorus, he still reverts back to the soprano we know and love.) His lyrics, however, and as a result, the song’s theme, strive toward the same trope that Mika has become known for throughout his career: happiness.
“I wanna come home to the only place I know/Where the trees I planted grow/I wanna come home,” sings Mika. He doesn’t hide his intention behind tricky metaphors or long-winded anecdotes the way other artists would. No, his message is simple and clear: “I want the whole world to celebrate.”
Joining Mika in the comeback boat is Pharrell, producer of the song as well as guest star singer. Pharrell echoes his buddy’s sentiments – and sound – switching up his aggravating (and sometimes off-key) falsetto in favor of a lower register, with his own political demonstration shouts sprinkled after. The song boils down to an inspiring, if not mildly cheesy, collision of voices and noises telling us to seize the moment, be happy, celebrate.
We’re sure we’ll be seeing this song featured on one of those you-can-be-anything-you-want-to-be-if-you-drink-our-soda Mountain Dew commercials very soon. Listen below.

Don't feel too sorry for him. He's crying all the way to the bank.
Already on digital spy
Mika on Madonna hook-up: 'She wasn't asking for my opinion'

Lovely interview
t4p! I don't know but I got this impression that he's not really happy with the way this whole Madonna/Gang Bang thing was handled

A review from Popdust
Mika’s comeback couldn’t be better-timed. Queen never went away, per se, whether in the rock or meme canons (their entire discography for the former, “Bohemian Rhapsody” for the latter), but it’s a particularly good time for Freddie Mercury devotees. Just this year, we’ve got fun.’s “We Are Young” and Some Nights, plus the entirety of Adam Lambert’s Trespassing. Mika was there before either; lead single “Grace Kelly” even mentions the guy. Pharrell never completely went away, either; he worked on Lambert’s album as well as (briefly) Usher’s Looking 4 Myself, among other collaborations this year. They’re natural collaborators.
Well. On paper, they are.
It’s hard to imagine what anybody involved in “Celebrate” was thinking. Pharrell doesn’t sound like Pharrell, which’d be remarkable and welcome if what he sounded like instead wasn’t the vaguely uplifting, slight groove you’d play after last call as clubgoers filtered out onto the streets. Mika, meanwhile, swaddles his voice in so much processing he ends up sounding like Adam Levine if he were whispering; he only gets to let loose on ad-libs buried deep in the mix, and the only thing Mika adds that a randomly selected male vocalist wouldn’t is that he doesn’t need pitch-shifting to become a tenor.
The whole thing ends up sounding like a subpar take of one of Adam Lambert’s weaker Trespassing singles. In fact, there’s a good chance Lambert turned this down. Hell, Usher may have turned it down. (If he did, try not to question why he went with will.i.am’s “Uptown Girl” leeching instead.) It might be best, no matter how annoying this practice usually is, for Mika and Pharrell to quietly bury “Celebrate” in favor of a real comeback single. They both deserve better.

I know it's just a style mag
but anyways Dita Von Teese once again left boyfriend Theo Hutchcraft at home to hit the town with squeaky pop star Mika instead. The pair hit the Arts Club in London for a fun-filled evening, before leaving together later that night. Mika recently announced that he is releasing a new single, Celebrate, on 9 Septmeber 2012, which will be a collaboration with Pharrell Williams.

Where did they get this date from, I wonder? Do we know anything about this Sep. 9 thing?
