  1. I saw that on Facebook and I was thinking what a stupid idea Mika answer to fans on Twitter, retweet what he want and follow who he want. Follow back fans really Poor Mika Now I'm no sure that I want tweet Mika again because I don't want to be follow by him
  2. Take a picture while driving makes him a terrible and dangerous driver
  3. In France they play Celebrate a lot at radio but the single wasn't successful. I think it's more a matter of taste. In France The Origin of Love is less successful than the first two albums but in the USA this album apparently sell well to be number one on iTune US in pop category it's rare for a non American artist (Mika has an american passport but he's not living in the USA ).
  4. I filmed tonight and it was the one with Mika The quality is not really good sorry http://m.youtube.com/?reason=8&rdm=7201#/watch?feature=youtube_gdata_player&v=Kvl9ClX4yMs&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DKvl9ClX4yMs%26feature%3Dyoutube_gdata_player&gl=FR
  5. Mika is a big boy but I don't think it is a good idea that gives clues about his boyfriend if he wants to respect his wish not to be under the spotlight
  6. Sorry it was impossible to watch on the web, I tried more than ten web site I'll filmed the part with Mika on Tuesday at 1:30 am
  7. Naughty girl I'm not sure that any woman would dumped Mika All women journalist he met love him, they said that Mika is adorable, intelligent and beautiful
  8. He answered in a russian interview that the kind of women who attract him is Dita but it was before his coming out Or may be it's possible if he is really drunk Platonic love is great too
  9. . Mika and the women in his life: In this album you're talking about men but also women, your eight women as you say. Three sisters and four aunts. Let me ask you this because you have already spoken in a lot of media. We know that your sister had a serious accident, how is she today? Mika: She is much better, she learned to walk, she can now walk with crutches and a boot that is completely unbelievable when I think of what happened. It's cool, it's thanks to hospital services in England, it's amazing what has been an accident like this, they saved his life. She spent a year and a half in hospitals, it has an English passport, if it happened in the U.S., I can’t even imagine how much it would cost for her to recover. You can be in a country like the U.S. where if you fall from a window, what are we gonna do ... It's shocking. Women counted for much in your life, your artistic life, it's true you mentioned at the beginning of the interview that there was a woman who had mortgaged his house to pay for your demos. Mika: They are always strong women. Even at school women teachers who defended me, I do not know why. They were strong women who helped me in my career and everything. There are too many strong women in my life now. But there are also men. Mika: But everyone knows that in Lebanese families women are the matriarchs, they have the power. In France it is said that behind every great man is a woman. Mika: Yes, sure. Mika: soon a French album: The French album, you declare in a newspaper recently, "I would do a whole album in French can be around a concept." You already have an idea? Want duo? Want covers? Mika: Not duet, I do not like the duets, I love when it's an accident, it is by chance. Covers ... not because the concept of an album is if I make a French album one day it must be like "Karen", such as "L’Amour dans le mauvais temps" as "Elle Me Dit" it must be songs that can only exist in French, who were born to a French album without covers without duos, without goals in a way. An album quite simple, very organic. In French you can really have fun with the songs and stories. So it would be a nice challenge, I would like to do and I'll do without rules, without concept and certainly no pressure, because this is when you do things that not pressure you that you can really enjoy. Pressure you had, I'm referring to this year, you say that as a writer you have had blank page syndrome, for one year you do not write songs. Is that this album was long to record? Mika: It was very difficult to start because I did not know how to put myself in this bubble where I was just thinking about the music and not of the effect of music on my career and this is essential when we are about to write. So it took a lot of time and after when I started it was fast, it was 6 months of writing and after that I really finished production almost alone because there was such a mixture of sounds , classical music influences a bit more modern electro, a 70’s sound, I had to mix all sounds for these songs for a sound unit on the album and it has taken some time. . Mika king of the scene: The scene, when you're on tour, you live fully this time it happened to you or write during your tour? . Mika: Impossible. I never do I do not know why. While other artists say they are when I'm on a plane, in a bus with the team starting to work a bit on the next album. Mika: I can’t do it, it's like Jekyll and Hyde, I do not know who I can become Dr. Jekyll and Hyde when I'm in the studio. You like the scene? Mika: I like it. I feel like it's a boxing match, I can get on stage, I can exorcise all the negative things I have in my head or in my life on the stage it goes. And ego at that time? Mika: I destroy it on stage. You destroy it, it is at this point that you destroy unlike when you're in front of a piano. Mika: Exactly, I destroy it, there is no place for ego on stage is what's funny. This request is to presente you in a way but if we do not open heart, you are not completely spirit to take risks on stage it becomes Las Vegas, an animatronic that didn't care. In your latest album The Origin Of Love as the name suggests there is much talk of love. I love when you say a love song this is not necessarily slow melodies and violins or it can also be very dancing. Mika: Yes, hyper dancing. If you want to fall in love most of the time it will happen on a danceable song not on a slow song. I think. Does it have to be in love or not be to compose, to write? When we say ... Mika: We must feel love or have, or want or to lose the love. What's worse is when you do not feel anything. When you do not feel love for all of anything. And when it is a bit like a star of the 80s who takes too many drugs and who lives in a house in Hollywood, which sees the gardener every day of the window, and says "I feel nothing what I'm doing? I go to the store ... no, I write ... no, I made a movie ...no ". You're a real character in Mika. Mika: There is a movie like that, I do not remember the name. With it must be a gardener Desperate House Wives. Mika: Yeah (laughs). . Mika talks about his new album: Are you working on this album with the same team? Or just you like to change to know other artistic affinities? Mika: A mixture, I found my team debut album. When I wrote my first album I was surrounded by people, I was in a group that played music from 9:00 am to 1:00 am. I was in college about to study music so it was everything we did, there was no pressure or commercial intentions, just music to please us. I found it with a team in Miami, United States, which helped me make the album, find the sound, help me write some songs on the first album. For the second I was completely isolated, I was alone at the piano for 7 months, it was what I needed to do but it was darker. And therefore the third when I was ready to do first I wanted to find my team in the United States, in Miami, with Jodie Marre, the woman who found me in New York, who has put his apartment Miami mortgage in order to pay my demos, we worked on this album again. Greg Wells, who worked on my two previous albums but I wanted to be in a group, so I wanted to form a sort of imaginary group because I am an artist alone in the studio so I do not want to be alone, I wanted to be surrounded by people like when I was in college, so I found Nick Littlemore of the group Empire of the Sun , I found the people who work in classical music, I found a young artist who has 22 years to call Ben Garet I found him on the internet and two weeks later he was with me in Miami currently working. I gathered a group of freaks, weirdos together to make an album of pop without rules, an album of pop we would appreciate as much as the people who would be buying it. You mentioned the term pop is true, so I listened, I enjoyed outside in this album you sing a lot in english but also in french, we also note three titles. Is there any compulsion to write or call in French? I mean by this is that it is different from composing in english. You say that french was easier to put more poetry. Mika: I think that in french you can put more poetry, it's easier to make puns in the context of a pop song because you can do it in English of course, but it becomes something else it becomes a little less pop. In french it can be done for example in the song Elle Me Dit, there are word games, this is powerful. The chorus of Elle Me Dit we can’t do it in another language, "pourquoi tu gâche ta vie" in english it is soft "What are you wasting your life." I also work with a lyricist the same for all the songs they wrote for 5 days, call Doriand he is a friend and an artist too, was fun. It's fun for me to think about having ideas and having someone else who can put into words and that I can concentrate on the music. . Mika: his fear of water: As you are on stage like a fish in water, but you do not like the sea, you are going to Italy this summer and you pay a guy to follow you because if you happen something in the sea is the guy to save you. It is even quite amazing. Always be protective of you? You need to be protect? Mika: Not at all because I climb mountains alone with my dog. I’m skiing backcountry for days, I stay in shelters. It's just water, I hate the idea of drowning or fish. You do not like fish? Mika: I hate them but I like to eat fish. I respect the ocean but I want nothing to do with it. I wanted to swim a lot not just soak me, not like chicks who do not want their hair wet. I did 2.9 km, it was quite a long distance in the sea and it's hard that’s why I had a guy behind me in the boat. With a cap to Greta Garbo. Mika: At Los Angeles or Miami I didn’t touched the sea I always found something else to do. I walked the weekend in Santa Barbara where they make wine, I went to Universal Studios any time even alone. They do a tour on movie sets, in fact I have seen several times on the street where they turn Desperate House Wives. There were tourists who often looked at me and told me "but what are you doing here? ". I said nothing. The interviewer was surprised that Mika asked him a question, he is not really clear. I was thinking that Mika do that because he was afraid to be psychoanalyzed by the journalist . Mika and his love affair with France: Women are much counted and if you have something to say today to them. You know that you are loved in France, because you are known around the world but in France you are very loved. Mika: I love touring in France, I like to sing in French it's part of my life the French and France. Message after all that I said about Lebanese women in my family I do not know, I think it's five minutes ago. I do not know why I find much inspiration in women in the stories of women. I grew up surrounded by women, there are some families are like that, that's what I know. And most of the people who really helped me who took a risk as with Jodie Marre his apartment like the people in my family or even at school. I do not know why but most of the time they were women, and of course I am very grateful for that. But we talk about it but you are a man. Yes, I am a man but I also ... Mika: But when I say something like that, what do you think? Here we are face to face there are many people who are watching us, listening to us, it emerges that you have a great emotion, sensitivity and inevitably it ends up in your album. Then after that the songs are rhythmic, playful, after it is in the melody. I listened to Karen and other titles in French and also there are rides that have affected me the same as a man. Whether you are a man or a woman is a matter of sensitivity. Mika: Absolutely, when I go on stage it is clear that it is 50% female 50% male, it is a completely mixed. But it is a high quality touch both men and women. You're not a singer “midinettes”, that's what I mean groupies, hysterical. There are women who appreciate your work before without screaming. Mika: Yes, sure. It's funny because in France if I am alone in a restaurant or cafe, it is the only country where people settled next to me and talk to me. We talk for 5 minutes and again thank you very much and we did kiss on the cheek . And that doesn't happen in other countries. Mika: No, never. But in France it happens and I'm completely comfortable with it, I like it. It warms my heart when people do things like that. This is because you call Mika, me personally when I'm sitting at a cafe nobody comes to sit next to me saying "boujour! Hi! "And kiss me on the cheek. Mika: I'm Mika in England or Italy, but people don't install next to me to talk to me for 10 minutes, it's a conversation that's cool.
  10. Mika was very tired, the recording of the show started at 1:30 am because of Muse
  11. Mika doesn't find these guys cute at the end he said laughing that the 3 guys will make a baby together I don't think that these three guys are the taste of Mika, a hunch
  12. Charlotte tweet the link of his record https://rapidshare.com/files/1070949309/MIKAVIPRFM27092012.mp3 but there's ads
  13. Thanks for the replay link It would be really nice if interviewers asked more questions about what Mika is creating and his new album
  14. Some fans came to the train station to welcome Mika but paparazzo were there At Le Grand Journal outside when Mika arrived we offered him presents (flowers, champagne and chocolates, we spoiled him ) to congratulate him for his new album, then Mika asked us to make a group picture but what we ignored was that a paparazzi took a picture of all of us in our back At Europe 1 studio a paparazzi filmed Mika in the van until the door was closed
  15. Thanks I wondered how long it would take to have Mika pissed that journalists ask him more questions about his coming out than on his new album. It's done
  16. Your welcome I had a problem with the post I do not know what happened but I think it's because I'm not awake Following Mika for four days is intense and exhausting, I saw Mika everyday

  18. Report: On Tuesday, I was demoralized to not have invitation for Taratata but I thought there might be people who could not come at the last minute. The next day, the recording of the show we could enter They had to record 3 shows of one hour in the evening, they were late because of rehearsals of Muse The first show was with Muse I was behind the drums and I had a migraine Muse play two times the same songs because there was a recording problem. The members of this group behave like divas They took them half an hour to agree to replay the songs that were not recorded correctly The audience was composed almost exclusively of fans of Muse The second show starts recording, but the recording was stopped at the beginning because Mika was the toilet Mika has sung Elle Me Dit, The Origin of Love and Celebrate, I noticed that Mika is a showman unlike other artists in this show, as if it is on TV he goes to the public. Nagui made ​​after an interview with Mika, he talked about his album, Paloma's accident, his lack of inspiration ... what has already been said a thousand times Then there was an interview where Mika had to choose between three proposals, I guess Mika answers and strangely I was not mistaken. He said he had to choose the best voice between 3 singers he chose Freddie Mercury. He had to choose the most attractive guy to him between Lenny Kravitz, Justin Timberlack and M Pokora (a French singer). I told Meggy you'll see he's going to choose no one. This is exactly what he did There was also an interview to know if Mika is normal (Do you stole things? Do you wake up early?...) After he sing a cover Everybody's Talkin of Harry Nilsson, but he had a problem at the beginning, stoped and start the song again. The cover was beautiful
