Naww this is a lovely thread! I've fangurled watching your pics. I love wedding stuff, specially giant dresses Have a great party all the ones who are still waiting for it and enjoy your magical day as much as you can I wanted to show you something I've made for my bro's wedding, it involved some crying from me cause my brother is even more perfectionist than me (and that's a lot already), but finally we were all happy with the result and I was glad he asked me to do it. Maybe it will inspire you and you can personalize your cake. I didn't get to make the couple look like them cause they didn't have their clothes by when I made it. I've also included a little poem with it when I gave it to them. It's inspired in their story (which changed cause they didn't marry in the twilight in the end ), but I'd like to share it with you. Cake ornament Little poem She was all dressed in white. She was walking towards me. I couldn’t see her face cause of the sun light. But I knew that she was smiling. As she got closer, I saw a tear running down her cheek. Every step she took, hurt a little bit more. I could see that in her eyes. Every single step taken was a prospect slipping through her fingers; it was a piece of the life that she was never going to have. Her entire world was tearing apart. But there was a whole new horizon at the end of the path, where I was waiting for her. It was so different from everything she’d ever dreamt about, and it frightened her so much… But she was willing to take the risk. For the first time in her life, she was shinning.

Oi! Just dropping by to tell you I miss you. My year is being insane. If I've learnt any portuguese word by being here before, it's probably no longer in my head

The way his hair used to move! It's a beautiful video, thanks for sharing

Am I the only one who sensed him a little weird? Like kinda sad or something?

This little review came out in late January. The author of Grace Kelly Shows his reflexive side Conscious about the fact that the universe of bright colors and childish gadgets from the multiplatinium LICM (2207) couldn't last for ever, Mika tries to show some moderation and maturity. TOOL gets (?) the Glee Factor and is his most colaborative album: Benny Nesassi, Pharrell Williams, Klas Ahlund, Nick Littlemore from empire of the Sun and the producer of his previous works Greg Wells put their hands in. They contribute to make it his richest album musically talking, thematically not so childish and with a darker approach in the lyrics ("Love you when I'm drunk"). However, it lacks of memorable mellodies and something around/like the train of hits that gave him a name. Key songs: "Lola", "Overrated" My I criticize? I will anyways It's not darker! That man seriously doesn't know anything about Mika's trademark of making dark lyrics and joyful mellodies. And it deff doesn't lack memorable mellodies. Well, at least it's good he got mentioned.

It's the same like with the 'evolution' pic, 'fan' pages in facebook keep on posting it as if it was Mika. There's a lot of that, pisses me off a bit

That's what I've seen, thanks

Hi I've looked for this, but I need to make sure. Does the US copie of LICM have Erase and Ring Ring?

Not surprised at the million posts at all I'm so proud to be part of it. This is my home even when I don't get time to come by. Let's the party started And congratulations

You're welcome

Translation of the video The other night I went straight to a restaurant and ate so much that I couldn't sleep until 3 or 4am. I like pretty much singing in the center of the cities, I feel much better like that, cause most of the times, when you go working, you're in the hotels, you're in the studios, but you don't put a foot in the city. I like people in Spain pretty much, it's a nice audience. It usually happens mith Spanish public, they are always laughing, dancing, singing during the show, it's something that makes you feel with oretty much energy. I've spent almost a year and a half not writting. I've tried, but what came out was lame, it wasn't worth it at all. I had nothing, wlle, there were some things that could be intelligent, but it was actually nothing. I thinkg that the problem is that I didn't have enough life inside of me. What you feel when you're very happy or the other way round, when you're very angry, nothing of that was happening to me. Everything was much more flat. I think that that is the result of being touring for almost 4 years and a half. During all that time, you've got a feeling of lost of team. Before, you were used to be working as a team in the studio, making that kind of music, everybody involved in it just because of the pleasure of music. All that was gone. I had to stop and think, well, this is the most important thing in my career, if I don't do anything really fresh, I'm gonna turn into a cartoon of myself. And if I do a cartoon of myself, that's it, I'm absolutely lost in my career. So I thought that if that wasn't good enough, I was screwed. Life sometimes goes like that. Things changed, I had a woke up. My sister had that terrible accident. And suddenly I started feeling something like life, like I had something to say. My sister became some kind of monster, I barely knew who she was (dunno there if he didn't know or she didn't know actually), sha had lost the mobility of her body, she had turned into an angry and sad creature. And all of the sudden, the proccess of writting songs is different. I guess I wanted to write something truly real, something that gave me reasons to still be there on stage in this crazy world. I had something to write, I had to run away. (Now he speaks Spanish.) I can speak in a restaurant, in a bar, to ask for thing very easily, but to comment is much more difficult. But it's something that's very important. I knew it before (and here I don't know for sure what he was trying to say, he literally said that he knew it before he's written a song for the 3rd album). I didn't want to be a cartoon of Mika. Like, you know, a cartoon like Peter Pan. But at the same time I wanna make an album that has a lot of fantasy, a lot of color, a lot of things, but that talks about like, about my life, about my perspective, a 28 years old guy with a lot of freedom. (Now back to English.) I guess it's som sort of statement of liberty, about life my life, or other people life, after all, all lives are the same, mine or other people's. It was about evolving, stop hiding myself behind cartoons, I wanted to be there in first person.

Yes! Thank you Is it only that? I thought it was like a book since it's very pricy.

Here it is, it sucks. This journalist is a frustrated poet I've tried to keep it the same. I also think puntuation is wrong, but I've kept it too. From multicolor Mika, not even the curls are left. The Lebanese (Beirut, 1983), English singer now wears grey jacket with handkerchief, blue shirt and (color in pic ) trousers. His manners keep on being british, but there's no trace of shocking clothes, nor gestures from the cartoons that were around his first two jobs. Mika gets out of the stratch (sorry, this terribly sucks) in his new album The origin of love. "I've decided to evolve, but in my own way, keeping my naif and full of fantasy imprint" says the singer visiting Madrid. The third delivery (they love using different words and making it all poetic ) from the particular universe of this singer who's got to sell over 8 millon copies of his frist two albums, jumps off of the comic in which he used to turn his songs, to a sequel of Amélie "I didn't want to end up being a cartoon myself". His recent coming out of the closet -he confessed his homosexuality a few months ago in an interview, in case there was still any vague person who hadn't deciphered his songs- goes through the lyrics of TOOL and jumps out like a spring through the conversation. -Aren't you Peter Pan anymore? -"I've never been, are you saying it cause of the aura of asexuality that surrounds the character?" Nothing further from thet intention, specialy considering the world of lollipops, baloons and color in which he locked himself during the four years that he's been traveling through the worild with LICM (2007) and TBWKTM (2009). "Writing about love is writing about life", he goes on, "music is part of what I am and I wanted to tell in a deconsecrated way the life of freedom, without prejudices nor secrets that I've always promised myself". After a year and a half of creative fallow and some kind allergy to sitting in front of the piano from which he won his success screaming his desire to be like Gace Kelly, he flew to Montreal looking for companion. "I've recorded my first record with my university classmates, the sensation of loneliness of the second was so much that I needed to create that community around me again". In Canada and United States he started conquering artists from different musical origin (backround) making use of his flirting hability -Mika talks in middle of smiles and lowering his eye lids- and promising a journey (a little bit) lysergic to the 60s. He got Nick Littlemore as his second man, Responsible for Pnau and The Empire of The Sun, apart from guilty of the change from sugar pop to electronic. "I've managed to create a team of adults that make music for adults, without thinking too much", Mika tells. "The sound simply flowed and the one that didn't understand that philosophy stayed out of the small community". The indirect goes to Benny Benassi. The british producer heard the echoes that came from Florida and wanted to sing up to that prodigious potion and very profitable. His entrance in the studio was well recieved, his attempt of expansion, not very much. "He contributed and left, I wasn't gonna let him take the album over". The artist acknowledges the risk of the decision, but he's so sick of that music industry that points him with a gun in his head looking for more golden eggs, that he's decided to answer with the teenage rebellion of the door bang in the nose."The most they ask for my old style, the most I'm going to change. I'm trying to take off some of my ego". To temper the formula and that the shock wasn't demolishing among the offspring of his followers, he places symphonic orchestras and pueril organs (something ) as a protective screen. "I'm not afraid of mellodies, even if they insist in relating them to colors (I guess that's what it tries to say). In this moment in Great Britain the melody is considered as harmful as porn". Where are the Beatles then? "That's what I wonder myself. My objective has been to set aside what is obviously gonna be effective and bet (go for) the game words to make life a little more magical".

Hi! I haven't been around in a while and I was wondering if there's pics (or something) of the printables that you could order with tool. I'd really love to see it.

It just says the same as always, do you still want it?

Makes me think of a magazine, but I can't think of anything else Not helpful Isn't it the same photoshoot in which he was wearing that dollars t-shirt? I might be wrong, probably. But that came into my mind

I've dreamt that he was coming back to Argentina And the've made a poll over which songs he should do and I was like WTF? I can't choose! I want all!! And like, people are gonna choose the ones he always does! No, this is terrible! hahaha And then I watched the livestream from when he was here Yes, in my dream And then woke up.

I love it how we know every piece of clothes he has, probably even better than himself

Happy birthday Mika. I hope you have an awesome day. Thank you for making me happy. I wish you all the best. Love you with all my heart

Isn't it the idea? He's supposed to just have broke up in the song. And like world keeps on no matter how you feel, so you just gotta forget it all and celebrate. That's my point of view

My oh my! I love it!!!! You should have seen my face while watching it I've got a virus for downloading the vid, but it was worth it Thanks! And awww those looks! I could just melt and die slowly looking at those eyes, that look :mikalove:
