I wonder if he'll ever wear full length trousers on stage again?

It's the Marie Antoinette Curse

Oh dear lord.

 

I knew the new image wouldn't make it to the stage. I bet you don't think those earlier pics made him look like a grandfather do you?

 

This reminds me of the old man at the pub party in 2009.

 

Anyway I'm loving the sax.

and yeah the sax was a lovely surprise to me

Mika Teams Up With Pharrell On New Song “Celebrate”

Last week, Mika finally came back with “Make You Happy,” the first single off of his upcoming album (actually it's not but whatever ), The Origin of Love. And now another track has released called “Celebrate” that the “Grace Kelly” singer collaborated with rapper and producer Pharrell Williams. Unlike his usual potentially window-shattering falsetto on other songs, we actually hear what Mika’s voice actually sounds like when he wants to take it down a few octaves. The song is reminiscent of the party club songs of the late 70s and 80s and makes you want to put on your best platforms or acid wash jeans and get down on the dancefloor this summer. Listen to “Celebrate” after the jump.

Mika releases snippet of new single Celebrate ft Pharrell Williams

It's been a while since we heard from prince of pop Mika. But now he's back and perkier than ever, judging by his new single Celebrate.

The track is taken from the Grace Kelly star's new album The Origin of Love, which is his third studio album and follows 2009's The Boy Who Knew Too Much.

The Origin of Love is expected to be released later this year.

So what do you think - would Celebrate get you up on the dancefloor?

Is this 'Barclay' the French arm of Island Records or something? Or are they totally different companies?

who talked on the other thread about a summer hit?

Thanks for posting

hmmmm to click play or not to click play

There is a 24 hours replay on those radios, so you'll be able to catch up sweetie

Oooh that's great! Thanks

Wonder which song will it be! Don't know if I'll be able to listen to it though... I remember waking up early to listen to WAG's debut and I was all EXCITED couldn't even have breakfast it felt like I was running around radio stations with him

Anyway, if I remember right it wasn't allowed to post WAG here on MFC when it was debuted on the radio, was it? If so, I think if he's not gonna sing it live, I won't be able to listen to it later?

Edit: I saw now that he'll be on Virgin radio later the same day! So I might get to listen to it then

Wow! I kinda forgot the feeling of all this Mika-attack New website, single, new song, new pics, new Mika! My head is still trying to cope with all this

Where's this pic from???

 

It's from Coachella festival in the US back in 2007.

Edit: I don't have the original of this particular pic, but I have a couple of similar ones if you want me to upload them for you

Thanks Leire for the video and Eriko for the snaps

Here are two more

Oh and Mikasounds had something that we didn't know anything about!
