  1. Well it's still a bit of a blur but I really enjoyed it - much more than I expected I don't understand a word of French, but I really like Boum Boum Boum and I'm glad he sang it. I think you can just enjoy the spirit of the song without needing the words. I'm no linguist, but I am used to hearing/ singing opera and choral music in all sorts of languages. For me, it is the music that is magic, not the words. And mostly I want to hear Mika sing, not sing along with him ( although I did sing along enough to make my voice go very deep the next day ) so the language is less Important to me than for some, I suppose. Mika comes from a well travelled family of multi linguists.When he was a kid singing at the ROH, he would have been working with people who usually sang in Italian, French or German and most top opera singers understand the languages they are singing in. I don't think Mika understands why people would only want to hear their own language all the time. What was it he said when introducing BBB? Something like " philosophy= philosophie - it's not so hard" We know from long experience of MFC that Mika can't please everybody here all the time. So he might as well please himself and sing what he likes
  2. Lovely to meet all the MFCers yesterday - Thanks, Deb, for the pre-show meet Mika was in great voice but it's all a bit of a blur
  3. Hi Alex I don't know what I'm doing here either but it's too much fun to leave now
  4. Well - he has form for stealing things to wear from his aunties That suit belongs firmly in the 1970's
  5. Lawrence of Arabia? I was thinking more Rudolf Valentino in "The Sheik" But then I am very old (but not quite that old )
  6. Why was he in a stripy shirt when everyone else was in white?

  7. LOL I saw you looking at the guy in the stripy shirt who went up to collect something:naughty: You look good :thumb_yello:

  8. Poland were great but I liked Austria best, then Iceland and then Poland third
  9. Yep much better than the play (which is also very good )
  10. Nononono TBA = The Best Album Actually -the Wikipedia entry is quite out of date so I wouldn't put any reliance on this small adjustment
  11. But where are the deserts and cactus and men in sombreros with droopy moustaches Seriously - that all looks beautiful And full of variety thank you for posting
  12. I did send you a message yesterday. Did you get it?

  13. Yes - 4.7 on Richter scale, so quite a big one.But BBC says no reports of serious damage
  14. I agree - although part of me really likes the way he likes to be private. And it's non of my business anyway (It's not like I ever really stood a chance )
  15. I have a theory that "they" manage it because Mika has been lying all along and the bf doesn't exist
  16. A friend of mine used to work for a celebrity (won't say which one - but a household name in UK) She used to get the stylists in to redecorate her home every so often so that she could sell this type of article. I think the article paid for the decor. I don't think Mika would get stylists in though
  17. I think that was a reference to what students generally do at college. I've never heard of Mika smoking anything
