  1. Can we really relay on that website: http://www.aficia.info/actualite-musique/jai-envie-cest-mika-dit-63829? At least the real sales aren't already that good (about 85 000 in France) and there's nothing on Mika's Facebook or twitter.
  2. They forgot to mention that NPIH is still selling about 1500-2000 copies per week in France, so we will know the total sales next spring. Anyay, total world wide sales will be better than for TOOL (thanks to the sales in Italy where the album is still in the top 30), they are about 200 000 now.
  3. Mika told on C à vous TV show yesterday that his role lasts more than one minute. He was supposed to do a simple cameo first but finally they included a longer sequence in the film.
  4. Thank you Chloé. The first time they really talked about the symphonic CD being included in the repackage. The special edition needs more promotion: you can hardly find it in stores in France, because they prefer selling Adele, Kendji and Louane before Christmas. A really nice live of J'ai pas envie in the end.
  5. A great visibility on social medias in Italy for this campaign: http://tvzap.kataweb.it/news/149081/ascolti-tv-trionfa-ancora-la-fiction-rai-con-il-paradiso-delle-signore/?ref=twhk&refresh_ce
  6. I also wonder what happened with Greg. Mika seemed so categorical whan he said that they won't work together any more. Thank you Eriko for the links!
  7. Mika was very natural and perfect in this show. I think that the presentator Cyril Hanouna was trying too much (I almost pitied him ). I am not sure if he is always like that, because it was the first time I watched the show (for Mika, bien sûr!).
  8. Apparently they sold 5 000 tickets (half of all the tickets) in 40 minutes. They aren't any tickets left on Ticketone's site, but you can still find them on festival's site.
  9. I was also wondering why he wanted to repeat these words. Is it intentional, like in Ordinary man ( "just like every man does x 2") or just a lack of insipiration ? Anyway, I still love Mika's only version and would like it to be released as a single - with a Mikalike video.
  10. I saw some tweets about that episode. Mika seems to have been quite wild last night: Fedez said they would sing BD next week at the final of X Factor if the video gets 1 million views in one day (it is out this afternoon at 3 p.m.) and Mika added to that: "naked", but seemed quite surprised by his own words.
  11. Thank you very much Vv! I wanted to download Make you happy... and now I am happy.
  12. I like it, but it will never be one of my favorite songs because it's too repetitive. I would prefer hearing BD (Mika's version) on the radio.
  13. That's what I tought. Looking forward to hear it, perhaps on friday if I can download the digital version first.
  14. Thank you, finally a confirmation that this version really exists ! I was so confused with all these different NPIH repackages. So how is it? Is it slower and less electronic than the Fedez & Mika version?
  15. I just preordered also a copy but from Fnac's site (a French store). Do you have Mika's version of Beautiful disaster on it? I would like to know if it really exists...
  16. NPIH Magazine Edition is #1 in Korea (international albums) and #23 in main charts.
  17. You are of course right with that. Our musical taste can varie a lot even if we all here like at least some of Mika's songs (in my case perhaps 90% of them ), that's why we are here. There can't be a good or a bad opinion about one particular song. It is however interesting to discuss his career and musical choices and try to find out what his plans are for the future. I would like him to do as well as possible everywhere and sometimes I just wonder if he is aware of the consquences of his or his team's choices at the moment. I think that an international version of the reissue would have been better at least for commercial reasons.
  18. Hello Eriko! I see you are online. Did you also record the Xtra Factor? I would like to see Mika with Iron Mais.
  19. In Mika's case, it is difficult to think that he wouldn't like to sell as many records as possible. He was really exited when Beautiful Disaster went #1 in Italy and by his #1 in France with TOOL etc. I think he hasn't already forgetten the big succes he had in 2007-2008 and really enjoys the big concerts, but he can still do also intimate gigs in countries like USA. I agree with you the record sells don't always reflect the quality of the music, but money he earned with LICM gave him the possibility to do those acoustic gigs after the relese of Songs of sorrow and bigger record sales could give him this kind of liberty. About that BBB thing: I do also think that it was just a clumsy joke done in the heat of the last gig. I hope people don't take that too seriously.
  20. I agree with you about that point. There should be a real international version for all the albums in order to leave the choice to people outside France (or Quebec and Belgium etc.) to listen to songs they prefer and not limite his market the way he does at the moment. I am also a little bit worried in beforehand by his French songs because there have been some of them I don't like. Anyway, I think his team wanted to make sure the reissue would sell in his best selling market (=France) or then it was just Mika's (bad) idea.
