I like the video for Celebrate soooooo much!

 

 

EDIT:

 

i'm sorry i can't get over that gif

Yep, it' s spanish...

 

It means unluckily...

 

And either it's because says it a lot in spanish interviws, or because we have a member called desafortunadamente...

Thank you!

i also now a little bit of spanish so i think those three things combined together

What does desafortunademente mean? Spanish right...?

and why do i have it in my head?

i just want to learn EVERYTHING!!!

ummm yeah

Ya see though, for all bisexuals it's not that gender is being removed, it's just that you can love both, but in different ways. It's kind of hard to explain, but it's kind of like..

Well say you can love cats or dogs. Some people only love cats, and some people only love dogs. Well, some people love both cats and dogs, but each in separate ways, and then there are some people who just loved domestic house animals.

Pansexuality is generally labeled under bisexuality (I guess), but that would be the whole "removing gender" type thing. I can't speak for it though, I consider myself bisexual. I see gender, I could fall in love with either, but it is distinct.

Again, hard to explain, but I've tried

i could've replied to everything i read but that would take too long and i can't be bothered

but the bolded part stuck with me...

For straight and gay people i (assume, i wouldn't know) that there is a distinct attraction to the gender.

For bisexual people as, said above by saint_tails (i'm sorry i don't know your name ) i believe there would be a distinction of attraction for both men and women.

But i think for those who are label-less (and possibly those who are pansexual?) there is no distinction. There is no, i fancy them and them, there is I fancy her and him and him, and she's also nice, i fancy her.

do you see what i mean?

I wonder which ones he chose. Or have those all been loaded into his car?

Yeah, the little sportscar kept breaking down so often he swapped it for a pick up truck

MIKA - The Making Of Lovesongs

so confused!!!

is it bad that i like Lola on helium?

If Mika has a conviction that he doesn't want to be labelled because he truly believes his sexuality is of a nature that one cannot label, then how could this change based on whether he is happy or unhappy? How could it change based on whether he is comfortable about discussing his private life or not? I can't help but think his aversion to labels is not necessarily due to how he defines (or refuses to define) his sexuality himself, but due to other reasons.

oh, oh, OH!!! I totally understand you now!

I don't really understand why people question the "label-less" thing. Maybe because I relate? But also, I guess I feel that, with something as personal as sexuality, I just accept what people say they are? I mean, if he changes his mind about being label-less (or about wanting to be seen as label-less) then that's fine, but until that day, I feel like I'd be disrespectful to question it.

 

I'd also like to hear/read him actually say something, rather than a twice-translated tabloid article, before I accept something as fact. And I'm a little bothered that this is going to make people assume I'm a delusional fangurl. Believe me, I know I'm nowhere near good enough for him, regardless of gender! And I don't need something to be technically possible to fantasize about it.

Having said that, I don't doubt that what was said in that article is possible. Probably, even. I mean, the way he had gone out of his way to avoid pronouns in the past when talking about partners feels like a dead giveaway to me . . . because I've done that myself.

My one real long-term relationship was with a woman, but I tend to get my biggest crushes on men, and for a while thought I was asexual . . . so I usually use "they" when referring to my ex because I didn't want to have to explain something that is too complicated for me to understand myself.

I guess I'm coming out as label-less, because I don't know what I am.

i have bolded all of this because DAMN you've read my mind!!! i sagree with all of this!

although i haven't had a girlfriend, i am attracted to girls but i con't relate to identifying with one label... therefore i identify as label-less.

Now, sorry for not quoting anything, but here's my two cents. And I'll try to be as articulate as possible.

While I understand that some people are closeted, where they actually hide their sexuality. But to be out you don't need to stand on a stage and say "I'M GAY/BI/WHATEVER". Some people just live their lives, and don't make a big deal out of things. Some people just keep their relationships personal. While I totally understand that it's good to stand up and be proud of who you are, being gay or bi or whatever is no different than being straight. And all you straight people don't have to announce that your orientation.

Not sure if that makes any sense, my brain hasn't been in top shape recently so that could have come out as hodgepodge and I wouldn't know.

YES! This is meant to be one of my points, don't think i made it... thank you for making it for me!

Speak for yourself, I like sexy costumes. BIOTG is my favorite.

OOO BIOTG!!!

only reason i can't watch that vid is cos the dancers aren't all in perfect cannon

There is a reason why looking hot sells records. And it's exactly the same reason I want to watch the video. Sorry I am not a hipster who likes things because they don't appeal to the masses.

Yeah, i like things to be meaningful and pretty not bothered about the whole mainstream thing i just don't want him to end up making the same kinda videos as every other popular artist...

Just finished editing the next instalment of the Mika Track by Track! Glad you guys are enjoying the new footage so far.

OOOO!! i wonder which song it will be

Are you sure we saw the same video? One word: AWKWARD

 

I have been praying that one day, one day Mika would make a video where he just looks hot. There doesn't need to be any story, any costumes, any dancing. All anyone wants to see in a music video is the person singing looking hot. That's what sells records.

 

For today's shoot he is looking perfect for that. Just like a normal but exceptionally hot guy.

but why wold we want him to be like everyone else just to sell records?

i would rather he was himself and was artistic like he has been somehow in all his videos and if it becomes popular then ok. but not just for the sake of selling records...

i really like the article and i totally agree that indeed, when 'coming out' ends is when equality would've been achieved. HOWEVER. until that time. everyone who comes out - especially high profile, influential people - whether it's with a song and dance number or simple matter of fact statement, is a sign that they are not hiding a very important part of their life anymore. they don't have to come out and be activists, the mere fact that the public then knows their sexual orientation is indirectly an activist move and also gives hope to young LGBT people...and since coming out carries a real risk of losing your job etc, i do think it's something to be congratulated about. it is brave.

until we reach the time when sexual orientation is a non issue.

note: i agree that mika has not really come out as anything in this article, merely reaffirmed his bisexual-ness if anything...

 

exactly! maybe we should only gossip about his music though..

 

 

ur a faker!!! no self respecting teen bimbo would EVER suggest any of those 2 places!

is it really a very important part whether you like men or women or both though? or is it just like Mair said about coming out, like being left handed?

TRUE.

do you think we'd get far with that?

you obviously don't know the kind of ridiculously skinny all the time b*****s i remember from high school

 

 

Anyway.

 

BACK TO TOPIC. GAYNESS. IT'S FINE. YES.

YES. IT IS.

*links with non-handbag arm*

 

Totally. Only if they have those low-fat veggie burger things. They make you lose weight right?

 

*smooths stomach*

 

*walk off into distance, heels clacking*

omg totally.

*smooths hair and glances in passing mirror*

*applying lipgloss in pocket mirror*

 

You know, some people just eat soooo much FRUIT.

 

*dramatic fake sigh, eyebrows raised*

*reapplies eyeliner*

*checks lipgloss*

oh, TOtally.

*copies sigh*

you wanna go to McDonald's or KFC for lunch?

*swings handbag over arm*

*eyes framed by perfect lashes widen*

 

An orange! No... actual.... way.

 

*shakes head in disbelief, lips parted*

 

Although I heard he likes more fruit than just oranges... he's into bananas you know.

 

*annoying giggle*

*fish pout*

yes. way.

*leans in closer and talks at normal volume*

i heard apples too.

*exagerrates nodding head and shrugs shoulders*

*pouts*

*whispers to Kat as in teen movie* oh my gosh, I can't believe Christine just said that, we'd never gossip about anything.. *tosses hair and raises eyebrow*

 

 

*whispers back and flicks hair* o-m-g, i know! honestly...............

*pause*

*perfectly manicured hand to mouth*

omg, did you hear about the orange Mika ate the other day?!?!

*tilts head to side*

Every single thread on MFC is gossip about Mika!

That's.... kinda the point of a fanclub right?

I hope this isn't perceived as gossip. It's more a general discussion on the impact of Mika's potential gayness on wider society and our perceptions of sexuality.

 

as as this is it's actually rather acurrate

you know what? I think that for many of us not talking about mika being gay was not about being gay in itself, but because we did not want to talk about his private life when he was so shy about it. And we wanted fans to concentrate on his music and not gossiping most of the time on the forums.

This could be true (i only joined in 2009) but it could also be that not only has this fanclub evolved over time to be able to discuss these things but maybe society has also evolved making it easier to discuss it openly?

we do like a good gossip though

Oh Mair and Kat I wanted to mention one other thing.

 

In 2007 it was forbidden to discuss Mika's sexuality at all on the Mikasounds forum and it was extremely taboo on MFC and lead to a lot of arguments and threads being closed.

 

My first post was about believing Mika was gay and it was not well received Anyway I'm just glad that we're at a point where Mika can talk about a 5 year relationship with a man, whether he's gay or bisexual.

i remember you meantioning this but i didn't realise it was to that extent! :shocked:

i'm glad we can too, especially without anyone's tails being pulled off (i just made up that expression... just ignore me )

and of course i never mean any harm to anyone, even though sometimes it may look like i'm intentionally having a go through the internet. I respect opinions!
