I know And imagine how he will look in the series, can't wait!

 

 

Love this collage and the last pic is

My feelings are all over the place. Bennyyyyyyyyy!

Thank you for posting these I'm so excited for Parade's End.

I have to say that I prefer many of the live versions of his songs, probably because I know they're live. But I love TOOL in this format too. It's great, maybe more 'radio', if that makes sense. It corresponds more (although it's SO much better, more layered, rich and powerful) to what is currently played, on english radio at least...

I dunno, just my thoughts. I love it though, going to listen to it constantly until the album's out.

Thank you all for your reports and pictures!

Sarina, I'm so happy that it went well in the end, despite how it began!

I'm almost as addicted to gig reports as I am to actual gigs. Almost.

Casino de Paris will be on the 12th and 13th of November. As retweeted by himself: http://www.chartsinfrance.net/MIKA/news-80888.html

Not boring at all, Nana! Thanks for the report!

thank you Marina and Nana

I'm glad, you're welcome!!

I should have some photos coming, if any of them came out ok! Mika's face was very shiny last night...

Small-ish report from me:

I arrived with a friend at about 3 o'clock. We got given numbers in the line which was greatly organised by a lovely lady, though I don't know who, from Mikafrance (?). Anyway, I won't detail how the queuing situation went haywire (unless someone's interested to know). People got chosen to go on stage, I was one of them, but had to decline because I was with a friend who didn't want to be left alone (I'm not really sure I would have taken the same decision in retrospect ). But I'm really happy for everyone who went on.

Anyway, the gig was incredible. He was so full of energy. But you could tell that he was done in by the end. His voice was tired but he came back for an encore of The Origin Of Love, which he said he wasn't planning on playing, so we were quite pleased he did! He seemed so HAPPY smiling and dancing, laughing when the audience chanted "We're not tired!". I'm sure they'll be many videos to come. My highlight were Celebrate, I think Joy did an amazing job and Lola, which is the perfect song to get the audience going again. His voice on Underwater, well...

There wasn't really a m&g really. A mass of people and a security guard moving him towards the car. He seemed in high spirits if not tired. He wasn't speaking much, (to not strain his voice further?). I had an amazing time and I'm glad that he enjoyed himself so much- apart from maybe forgetting how to play Lola which he said was his worst nightmare and the thing that kept him awake at night. (awww)

Sorry, that was quite long and probably boring. It's very difficult to put the experience into words.

Hi Angélique

Welcome to MFC! Hope you have fun.

N'hésite pas de venir nous voir dans le thread français!

Hi

I agree with you specially with the house thing! And it really bother me that Sherlock says:

Sometimes I hate it when I'm wrong

Sherlock would never say anything like that!

Maybe, but I actually find Watson to be the most interesting character. She seems to have several layers compared to Sherlock who only have one. No, if I'm going to watch the series it's only because of her!

That's interesting. I never thought of it like that. Well we'll just have to see when it comes out. Though I'm still not sure if I want to.

Oh goodness I have never seen this thread before.

Hello! I am a (devoted) Sherlockian. Yeah.

On the subject of Elementary I think that they may have gone a bit too far for it to still be Sherlock Holmes. I don't think you'll be able to say it is any more related to it than House is. Making Watson a woman defeats much of the point of the original stories. Methinks.

Does anyone have a link to the 2010 Birthday Project book? I remember it was on megaupload, but that site's dead now.

Also, is there a thread where links to all the finished projects (Birthday and Yearbook) can be found? That would be a really cool thing to have!

This is the most amazing thing! I'm so happy for you. I think I would have passed out in your situation.

I listened to it 6 times. I know the lyrics. Here are the lyrics in French:

 

Elle me dit "écris une chanson contente, pas une chanson déprimante, une chanson que tout le monde aime".

 

Elle me dit "tu deviendras milliardaire. T'auras de quoi être fier. Ne finis pas comme ton père".

Elle me dit "ne t'enferme pas dans ta chambre, vas-y, secoue-toi et danse dis moi c'est quoi ton problème?"

Elle me dit "qu'est ce que t'as t'as l'air coincé , t'es défoncé ou t'es gai

Tu finiras comme ton frère"

 

CHORUS: Elle me dit, Elle me dit "c'est ta vie fais ce que tu veux tant pis un jour tu comprendras un jour tu t'en voudras"

Elle me dit "t'es trop nul, sors un peu de ta bulle. Tu fais n'importe quoi on dirait que t'aimes ca."

Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie? Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie? Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?

Danse danse danse danse elle me dit danse". x2

 

Elle me dit "fais comme les autres garcons, va taper dans un ballon, tu deviendras populaire".

Elle me dit, "qu'est-ce que tu fous sur internet, ca va pas bien dans ta tête. Regarde le temps que tu perds."

Elle me dit "pourquoi tu te plains tout le temps? On dirait que t'as huit ans. C'est pas comme ca que tu vas plaire"

Elle me dit "un jour je ne serai plus là et c'est quand elle me dit ça qu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime.

 

Chorus

 

 

 

Elle me dit, "t'as pas encore des cheveux blancs, mais t'auras bientôt 30 ans, faudrait que tu te réveilles".

Elle me dit "tu es toujours un enfant, tu ne seras jamais grand. Et moi je suis déjà vieille"

Elle me dit "regarde un peu tes amis, qu'est-ce qu'ils vont faire de leur vie, y' a de quoi se foutre en l'air".

Elle me dit, "oui un jour tu me tueras" et c'est quand elle me dit ca qu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime.

 

Elle me dit danse, elle me dit danse danse danse

 

Elle me dit, c'est t'as vie fais ce que tu veut tampis. Un jour tu comprendras un jour tu t'en voudras

Elle me dit t'es trop nul sort un peu de t'as bulle. Tu fais n'importe quoi on dirais que t'aime ca.

 

CHORUS

Ah! That makes sense, I knew I was going wrong somewhere. Not to mention my awful spelling/grammar. Thank you

it sounds horrible translated, but i swear it makes sense in french:roftl:

I know what you mean. I'm actually glad he did this one in French because it would not have been pretty in English!

LOL, just when I posted too, sorry :aah:

It's fine, doesn't matter.

@basicamenteyo It's basically about this woman telling him off about all the things he does and the way he is and he seems to like the fact that she'll die soon. I know, very pleasant

Yeah, you're right. I was typing too quickly and I misspelled it. I've edited it now.

If anyone finds other mistakes please let me know.

Translation is roughly:

She tells me to write a happy song, not a depressing one, a song that everybody loves.

She tells me I'll be a billionaire. I'll have something to be proud of. Don't end up like your father.

She tells me, don't lock yourself up in your room [some part I don't understand] Tell me what your problem is.

She tells me what's up with you, you look stuck [other part I'm not sure about] You'll end up like your brother.

She tells me, it's your life. Do what you want, whatever. One day you'll understand and then you'll blame yourself/feel bad about it.

She tells me you're so lame, get out of your bubble. You're doing whatever you fancy, it looks like you enjoy it.

Why are you wasting your life? Dance dance, she tells me to dance.

She tells me to be like other boys and go hit a ball. Then you'll be popular. She tells me what are you doing on the internet? There's something wrong in your head. Look at all the time you're wasting.

Why do you [something I don't understand] you look like an 8 year old. You're not going to please anybody in that way.

She tells me that one day she won't be there anymore and it's when she tells me this that she's telling me something I like to hear.

She tells me, you don't have white hair yet but you're almost 30, you should wake up now.

She tells me, you're still a child, you'll never grow up and I'm already old.

She tells me, look at your friends and what they're doing with their lives.

She tells me, one day I'll kill her and when she tells me this she's telling me something I like to hear.

I've got the lyrics down

There are a couple of parts that I didn't really understand, I'm sure someone else could help out. I'll see if I can translate it now

Elle me dit écris une chanson contente pas une chanson déprimante, une chanson que tout le monde aime.

Elle me dit tu deviendras milliardaire. T'auras de quoi être fier. Ne finis pas comme ton père.

Elle me dit ne t'enferme pas dans ta chambre…..dit moi c'est quoi ton problème

Elle me dit qu'est ce que t'as t'as l'air coincé(?) , t'as depense ton ticket(?)

Tu finira comme ton frère

Elle me dit, Elle me dit c'est t'as vie fais ce que tu veut tampis un jour tu comprendras un jour tu t'en voudras

Elle me dit t'es trop nul sort un peu de t'as bulle. Tu fais n'importe quoi on dirais que t'aime ca.

Pourquoi tu gaches t'a vie. Pourquoi tu gache ta vie. Pourquoi tu gaches t'a vie.

Danse danse danse danse elle me dit danse. x2

Elle me dit fait comme les autres garcons va taper dans un ballon, tu deviendra populaire.

Elle me dit, qu'est-ce que tu fous sur internet, ca va pas bien dans ta tete. Regards le temps que tu perds.

Elle me dit pourquoi tu te ……. tous le temps on dirais que t'as huit ans. C'est pas comme ca que tu vas plaire

Elle me dit un jour je ne serais plus et c'est quand elle me dit qu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime.

Elle me dit.

Elle me dit, c'est t'as vie fais ce que tu veut tampis. Un jour tu comprendras un jour tu t'en voudras

Elle me dit t'es trop nul sort un peu de t'as bulle. Tu fais n'importe quoi on dirais que t'aime ca.

Pourquoi tu gaches t'a vie. Pourquoi tu gache ta vie. Pourquoi tu gaches t'a vie.

Danse danse danse danse elle me dit danse. x2

Elle me dit, t'as pas encore des cheveux blancs mais t'auras bientôt 30 ans, faudra que tu te reveilles.

Elle me dit tu es toujours un enfant tu ne seras jamais grand. Et moi je suis deja vielle

Elle me dit regardes un peu tes amis qu'est-ce qu'ils vont faire de leur vie, y' a de quoi se foutre en l'air.

Elle me dit, oui un jour tu me tueras et c'est quand elle me dit ca qu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime.

Elle me dit danse, elle me dit danse danse danse

Elle me dit, c'est t'as vie fais ce que tu veut tampis. Un jour tu comprendras un jour tu t'en voudras

Elle me dit t'es trop nul sort un peu de t'as bulle. Tu fais n'importe quoi on dirais que t'aime ca.

Pourquoi tu gaches t'a vie. Pourquoi tu gache ta vie. Pourquoi tu gaches t'a vie.

Danse danse danse danse elle me dit danse

Ok I've got used to it now and I actually quite like it. It was never really going to look like him so I think it's a compromise

Seems like the statue has stolen Mika's clothes though, the jacket the statue is wearing was the one he wore in Brazil no?

Also it is taller than he is, they could have got that right.

BUT, it's still Lovely!!

LOL....what about THAT pose

!! The pose sort of scares me

Can't wait for a close up!

There's the one in my signature... Maybe not good enough though?

That one is good although it might be a little small. I'll keep looking but I'll save that one in case. Thank you!

Hi, I'm looking for a picture of the whole band+lollipop girls+Big girls(with skull heads), when they are together to bow at the end of a show.

I know there's more than one pic like this but I just cannot find any!

Bon alors j'ai rien compris

Il annonce juste les nominés ??

En fait, j'ai pas pris le temps de lire tous les posts du thread MTV alors je suis un peu perdue

J'avoue m'etre plutot concentree sur les photos et les videos

Oui, il annonce juste les nominés dans une emission sur MTV qui est diffusée cette semaine.

T'inquiete, les videos et photos sont ce qu'il y a de plus important

En fait il présente juste une émission a part ou il présente les nommés dans 3 categories. Je pense pas qu'il va être dans l'émission en direct le 7 novembre.

Ok ! Merci Je crois que j'ai compris. Il y a juste une feuille par poste que j'ai pas très bien compris... C'est une seule feuille au début que plusieurs personnes signent c'est ça, où chacun envoie une feuille ?

 

(Désolé )

Oui c'est une feuille que plusieurs personnes signent. Mais je pense qu'elles vont organiser une feuille par pays ou location(?). Ahh je nule en explications

A oui et elles vont aussi mettre toutes les signatures dans un livre, d'ou le "Book Project". J'imagine que les signatures vont prendre plus d'une feuille A4!

Bonjour

En faite j'aurais besoin de traducteurs Si quelqu'un pouvais m'expliquer en quoi consiste vraiment le projet : The Long Distance Signature Book parce que j'ai pas tout compris

( Oui je suis nulle en anglais )

L'idee est d'envoyer une feuille par poste qui sera signe par des gens de MFC (et peut-etre par Mika?!) ensuite quand la feuille revient a celles qui l'ont emise elles vont le scanner.

Ensuite tout le mode peut le telecharger et personaliser la feuille pleine de signatures et la mettre dans leurs villes, sur les murs...etc

Euh, je pense que c'est a peu pres tout. C'est un peu complique mais c'est une belle idee
