Poor Billy Brown... broke someone's heart. First album is so raw with emotion when listening to it now. Knowing he was that boy dancing in the club.

Hi!!! Very excited to listen with you all. Is it on video too or just bbcr2?

squee!

Mika

All you have to do is set up your mobile me on your iphone. It doesn't cost anything. Then the next time you lose your iphone, you can log in to any computer go to the icloud page and find your phone. You will then have three choices.

Play sound - this is super, super loud.

Lost mode - locks and sets of sound until shut off.

Erase phone - just in case you have any incriminating photos you want to destroy. Or txts.

I use it all the time. http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/find-my-iphone.html

You can put it on any Mac or even a pc as well to keep track of your laptop/iPad etc.

Finally listened to the album sampler. First time through, initial - Thumbs UP!

I am waiting for my signed copy that I pre-ordered.

2nd time through these I are the ones I like:

Origin of Love

Stardust has dancefloor hit written all over it.

Make you Happy -

Underwater

Kids

Step with Me

Popular Song

I actually like Emily - this version

Celebrate

Make You Happy

Which a great %% !

The ones that aren't listened - well. Not my cuppa,but I am but one person and if you're happy with it, then I'm happy that you're happy.

Peace out

Btw, nice effort on the twitter campaign. How did it go?

Silly me, you've been doing all your pre-release interviews and I've missed them. And, tonight I just found out you're coming to the states to tour this fall??? Eiiii.

WTF did that G+ thing - why did they use you as a guinea pig? Frustrating for you & the guests.

what really caught my eye.. something about not being a slut anymore? I'm def going to have to go catch up with that but yes, being monogamous does have advantages. Everything, everything has pluses and minuses. Being in love doesn't come around that often, grab it and let yourself feel it, when you can.

Laterz.

Will update with comics/art as well.

Highly recommend - Daytripper by Gabriel Ba & Fabio Moon

it's a buyer and a keeper.

Peace out!

It was so fun, my first time seeing Mika. The show in Oakland was great too, but he had hurt himself the night before down in Los Angeles jumping around like the klutz he is, so was more subdued, but I got to a pic with him in Oakland!!

"Creativity drives Success" along with a picture of Mika. Pure genius. My hat is off to which ever agency got Mika together with Hugo Boss and what ever agency/creatives designed it. /deep curtsey

I want what IngievV says so much for us all - from Mika to every posse member & especially to the two 80 year olds he's bringing with him. I know some 80's year olds who still like to have fun and can you imagine? Being 80 and being part of Mika's entourage? Respecting the elders there..

Plus, that means I can start planning now for a tour to North America!!! Or, damn, what do you the chance would be to see Mika and Take That at the same concert? I can't believe Gary Barlow is 40.

Bruno Mars - LOVE the cd. He sings about how girls should look for him because everything they have heard is true, and the lyrics and seduction in "our first time".. hawt. really. /blush

Interesting story too. From Hawaii, been performing for years - as young as Michael when he started, talented young man.

er, this was last year but there is always hope that he comes back and does another round!

Mika,

I would take a good look at who is doing/handling La Roux's publicity because they are rocking it in the USA now and having much more success than you have been able to manage (even with all my hard work for ya)... just sayin'...

sie hat mich angefruffen and ich muss etwas haben in 10 minutes... If anyone has any suggestions, bitte, put them here really fast pls. the only place i have found is Pferrerbett hostel

Thank you, vielen, vielen danke meine Mika supporters!

I presume she found a place to watch the game as I told her to just follow or ask some of the people that were obviously going to watch it somewhere. Great game. I think the team needs just one or two more matches to get their timing down and then all those missed shots will be going in.

Alles gutes wunsch ich..

Guten Morgan..enshuldigen meinen Deutsch, bitte (I haven't had my coffee). Meine taucher 22 (spricht deutsch, misch swischen Bayern/USA) and freundin (only speaks English) sind in Berlin and praucht eine platz su WC spiel ansusawen.

Finally getting around to watching and listening. Oh, how lovely!

Dearest Mika,

I hope your tour is going well. On one hand, I truly wish you great success and selling out huge stadiums is absolutely amazing. Word of mouth is the best advertising. I would just wish that you would also offer smaller gigs, special ones that pass through the undercurrent of the <imagine a cloud, looking however you want here>. I have $5 (american dollars - worth **** really) that says you could never again be in a field somewhere with a piano and sing "I will Survive" without having people running from all over in minutes. You know what I'm getting at? Your popularity has and is continuing to grow, and grow, and grow. I bet your answer to "what is your target group?" would be to shrug your shoulders and say, anyone who appreciates pop music. I also bet you are being pushed or people are trying to push into a "category". Dance? Pop? top 40? teen? etc.. I admire you for sticking to your principles. Prince, who I know you like and I LOVE (I have awesome high quality Prince bootlegs from europe) is a stellar examble of doing what he wants with his career. Beck, also. Have you heard his remake of INXS's cd - with "I need you tonight" on it? On his website. Back to Prince. The Paisley studio in Minneapolis, where Prince is from and still lives sometimes (mostly I think he is in LA now - woah, flash of a song where you two collarborate..angels singing).. well Prince used to have these open house parties at it. Just send out a notice and people would come. You would never know if or when he would show up but most of the time he did. The man never sleeps. Prince is a genius. The idea about the "party at my crib" tonight is what I'm getting it.

I would also love it if you could do a pay per view or internet live cast of accoustic show. Everyone could just sign up, it would be neat. Kind of like your AOL chat (where we broke the servers). Come on, if President Obama can have live web press conferences and take emailed/chatted questions, I think you could too.

Anywho, have a fun tour. Find out the neatest places in the towns/cities you are going to and explore them. Look at art. Oh, and the next time you are in Vienna, you must go here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundertwasserhaus

and if you are going near Shanghai the World's Fair has absolutely AMAZING architechture. Britian's is spectacular. http://en.expo2010.cn/c/en_gj_tpl_71.htm

That's about it. I need some new graphic novels.

He's playing a few big festivals in Europe... Let me see if I can find the link again. I wish I could see him again, but the last time in the second row, I don't think I can top that...http://pitchfork.com/news/38553-prince-announces-festival-dates/

Looks like France, Denmark and Belgium...

I suspect Lionsgate would be the ones..I checked on Amazon, and it's not available for single purchase off the CD either although it was.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kick-Ass_(film) Wiki says they are making a video game based on it, it would be great if Mika and Redone's collaboration could be in it.

of course they don't! Take a look here, http://www.arbitron.com/portable_people_meters/ppm_service.htm and here: http://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=255599

and this:

http://pbskids.org/dontbuyit/entertainment/makingmusic_interview.html

We have to hit the program directors...and Island should be doing tons of pushing but I don't think they are. How can one play of a Mika song make a impression when it's played once? How often do you think kei$ha gets played a day? Or Lady Gaga?

I hate corporate radio stations - viacom, clear channel... corporate idiots only concerned with $$ not their listeners.

I guess I'm going to have to venture over to BBC Radio 2 and see what's what there. Request it at least.

I just bought the single off the link you posted!!! They must have changed it since you posted it. I couldn't find it before because I was looking for kick ass not kick a*s...

Hey Ms.!

I'm all pissed at Amazon right now. Look at this and tell me what is missing for track #2..

http://www.amazon.com/Kick-Ass-Music-Motion-Picture-Explicit/dp/B003D3ZS58/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1269989535&sr=301-1

I don't see Mika's name on there for it!! It shows on the import album but not on the mp3 download.

Nothing on US Itunes. No single only purchase on Amazon either.

That is f*ing hilarious. Just watching the people who connect and their facial expressions is priceless. Predicting huge viral hit with this one...

Thank you so much for posting!

They have the album up now on Amazon (I've been checking frequently to see) but no track listing.

CD's will play anywhere..no PAL or NTSC needed for them.

I am in Canada & I requested kick-Ass.

If they think it is strange that I am listening to BBC radio then let them think me strange as long as they play Kick-Ass again & again.

:roftl:

 

Just catching up here... I'm in the US and I listen to the BBC radio 1 a lot, I've been requesting Kick-Ass and other Mika songs for the Saturday a.m. request show. Reggie Yates does the Saturday request show.

Oh, he probably ran off the stage because he wasn't sure how the crowd would react. I think he gets a tad nervous when doing new stuff.

Or..if it were say 2 others that were coming, just tell the person numbering to give you 3 numbers.

Imagine how it could have been handled. You queue, you get your number, you tell the numberer I'm waiting for my friend can I get a number for her... or guylainem123's suggestion would work just as well.
