The Dragon Lady

Ewokwicket and DANI56, thanks so much for posting these amazing pics! Doesn't he look DELICIOUS?! The TOTE! He's wearing his own "Official MIKA merch" tote!!! Don't you guys love the fact that he wears his own merch?! MIKA you're THE BEST, seriously!

Thanks for posting Miro! Fun read! Love the bit below, he's SO funny!

Guylaine, bless you! That makes perfect sense! Thanks so much! And now that you've explained it, it seems SO simple! Regarding St-Hubert, what time were you thinking we should all meet there?

Guylaine, count me in as well! I'm definitely doing Poutine with you guys! Oh and, I got my ticket in the mail on Wednesday too! :yay:And I'm definitely in seat AA 19:kachinga:(was a bit worried that Sandbag might make a mistake; with them, one never knows, really!)! Woohoo! CANNOT WAIT! We've only got 10 days left to go! OMFG! MIKAAA!!! Totally off topic now, but how exactly do you guys multi-quote your replies in a thread? Can't figure it out; I know, I know, it's sad!

Superstar thanks for posting! This is GOLD! Too funny! MIKA, you are TOO MUCH, in the BEST POSSIBLE WAY! OMG! AMAZING way to get even with the one who broke your heart! "I used to go to this club every Monday, put on some guyliner, party it down." Is this supposed to be eyeliner for guys?! :lmfao:LOVES IT! I wanna "party it down" with MIKA!

Mandilambi thanks so much for posting this, it's terrific! I really love just how much of an appreciation MIKA has for Art and how he doesn't hesitate to purchase pieces which speak to him. Love the fact that he spent half of his signing pennies on paying off debts and the other half on that lovely miniature theatre! I tend to do things like that too when it comes to Art! Also love his Union Jack tapestry. I first noticed it in the photograph of MIKA and Yasmine in the March 2008 issue of the American VOGUE (the article was about Yasmine’s sense of style), but did not know until last Summer that that photograph was taken in MIKA's flat, and thus, that the UJ tapestry in it was his. I think that he has a really good eye for interesting and original pieces, whether it be pieces of Art or accessories for the home or self. Will be on the lookout for this issue of Spin Magazine tomorrow while out shopping for the Deluxe Edition of “The Boy Who Knew Too Much” (finally!)! Thanks again! Thanks Christine! How did you find this?!

Watch out indeed! Kanye's gone LOCO again! LOL! But seriously, OUR MAN is the MOST TALENTED of the bunch!!! Am SO EXCITED he's been nominated and in such an important category to boot!:kachinga:Definitely the right move by MTV! Thanks for posting Cibele! Clicked on the link to vote, but MTV said that I didn't have the latest version of Adobe Flash (which apparently, I need in order to be able to vote). I thought that I did have the latest version of it. Anyway, I downloaded the latest version, Adobe confirmed that I already had it (knew it MTV!), yet, I still can't vote, don't know what to do now. This sucks.

Thanks for posting! It was nice and positive!

Thanks Happikali, Lollipop_monkey, Mari, Droopsy and Sylvana for all the links! Girls, you rock! Fabulous video, loved everything about it! MIKA looks really rested and so good in it! Loved the dance to Rain with Greg! They're wonderfully silly boys those two! And yes, when he was looking at the Orchestra playing... Did you guys notice the "Dodgy Holiday Film + TV" logo at the end of the video (end of the second part of the video for those watching it on YouTube)? Isn't that MIKA's Official logo for things that he's producing himself? In other words, I think that this will be officially released by MIKA or by his team in the near future! Yay! Thanks again, a definite keeper for my (and most likely, every other MFCers') ever growing MIKA archives!

Thanks for posting Mari! I'm actually really upset with what is written in this short article. I think that it is quite insulting to MIKA actually: "creepy ballads"?! WTF?! "Another World" and "Erase" may be intense lyrically, but they are certainly not creepy by any measure. And the whole "Father Figure" business?! I'm the first to admit that I don't have the most musical of ears, but I just listened to FF and am listening to "I See You" as I type this, and I hear NO SIMILARITIES whatsoever, NONE. The only good thing about this article, insofar as I'm concerned, is the picture they chose of MIKA. He looks SOOO GOOD in it! EDIT: I got so hung up on all the negativity in this article, that I did not notice the nice words written about TBWKTM: "addictive, upbeat pop anthems". That's pretty good!

Salut les filles! I just found out, I'm AA 19!:kachinga:FIRST ROW for MY FIRST EVER MIKA GIG! The DAY AFTER MY BIRTHDAY! :yay:OMG! This is JUST INSANE! INSANELY AMAZING, that is! I can't wait to meet you all! Oh, and I'm up for a meet up before the gig at St-Hubert across the street, is it? MFC ROCKS!

Hey bitter.icarus! I love your interpretation of the lyrics! I hadn't looked at it this way until I read you post, but what you are putting forth makes so much sense. You are right, it isn't just teenagers who are misunderstood, parents are misunderstood too. Very perceptive indeed!

Girls (Mari, Nono and Mana), thanks so much! What an amazing version of the song! The added verses are brilliant and make the song that much more poignant. BRAVO MIKA!

Thanks for posting Deb! Nice to see such Good Reviews , even if some of them are short! Great pic too! Am absolutely LOVIN his boots!

Bonsoir tout le monde! D'abord, j'aimerai vous remercier de tous ces jolis souhaits de bienvenu que vous avez postés à mon égard! C'est bien apprécié! Ensuite, j'ai quelques pépins avec lesquels j'espère que l'un(e), ou remarquez, plusieurs (ça irait aussi!) d'entre vous pourrai(en)t m'aider. Donc, voici mes problèmes: Depuis deux jours maintenant, je n'arrive pas à accéder sur MIKASounds.com et je ne sais pas si c'est "my internet connection" qui est trop lent(e) ou si c'est parce qu'il y a tellement de trafic sur le site. De plus, lorsque j'ai pu y accéder il y a deux jours, j'ai tenté en vain "to log in", mais ça n'a pas fonctionné. C'est-à-dire que j'arrivais à entrer mon adresse de courriel (mail) et mon mot de passe, mais lorsque je cliquais sur "Enter", rien ne se passait, et je suis sûre d'avoir inscrit mon info correctement. J'aimerai tant régler tout ceci au plus vite pour ne plus manquer de mises à jour sur le site de MIKA. Je suis désolée de vous déranger avec tout cela et j'ai tenté de trouver un thread où l'on abordait ces problèmes en faisant une recherche, mais ça a été sans succès. Remarquez, il est possible que je n’aie pas bien fait la recherche étant toujours nouvelle. Enfin, je vous remercie d'avance pour toute aide que vous pourriez m'apporter.

Bonjour Cassiopée! Thanks so much! I agree, hopefully MIKA will grace us with his presence soon! I really like the fact that this site is for all MIKA fans worldwide! Fabulous!

Ciao Gracekelly85! Grazie! I'm already having such fun and I've only been a member for what, 24 hours?! Plus, all the Smileys are SO addictive! Geez!

Coucou Miss_lollipop54! Merci pour le bel accueil et pour ces jolis mots! Oui, j'ai écris un petit message hier soir dans le French thread grâce au lien que m'a donné Guylainem123. J'y repasserai certainement! C'est chouette de pouvoir communiquer dans les deux langues, et puis, MIKA est bilingue lui aussi, alors d'autant mieux! Chic!

Goddag Savage Beauty! Takk! And what pretty colours too! You've inspired me! Hey, wasn't MIKA just in Oslo a few days ago? Yay Norway!

Hey Vanessa! Thanks for the welcome and for the compliment on my user name! My first name is Dragana and people have been affectionately calling me The Dragon Lady for years, so I figured it would be appropriate!

Hi Suzie! Thanks so much! I'm glad to hear that. I mean, he's such a breath of fresh air in an industry that for much too long, in my opinion, has concentrated on either very safe, very generic pop, or on hip hop/rap that far too often is so degrading to women. MIKA stands out in this landscape, in the best way, because both his music and he himself are so unique and original, and yet, they are both so respectful of others! Yay MIKA!

Olá Lucy! Obrigado!

Ciao Marina! Grazie! Great Avatar picture choice! That was a fun video of MIKA in the snow!

Buongiorno Daniela! Grazie! Which part of Italy are you from?

Hi Melgo! Thanks so much! Cool, a fellow Canadian!
