If you hover over the vid with your mouse, do you get a tiny box in the right upper corner that says download or something like that?

Yes and I tried to do it several times but it only downloads the ad that comes before the show!

She said she could do it.

 

 

 

Hi Camille.

There are several ways to rip a video. It depends on the situation. Do you have RealPlayer or Orbit Downloader on your computer?

Apparently I do have Realplayer but I've never used it...

I'm French I have access to the video on TF1 website. How can I help you I've never done it before?

 

Is the non-snow view he posted??

I think it is the same park (Jardin des Tuileries) but seen from a different angle

Wow that was a very nice moment we had on French TV tonight. Very moving. It's the first time I really realise how attached to French culture Mika is. I have a whole new view about him, love him even more if it's still possible

I'd like to help you all see the video but I have no clue how to do this!

I'm a voting machine :roftl:

So am I! I'm starting to worry about Robbie Williams being in the same category.. Mika must win! Let's vote!!

Virgin Radio in France has opened a vote for the Top 100 pop rock songs of the decade. We can vote from December 8 to Dec 31. It will then be announced on Jan 1. It does not seem to work very well at the moment, on my computer anyway, but I could see that we can vote for Relax, Big girl, Happy Ending and WAG. I'm pretty sure Grace Kelly is on another page, maybe other songs as well, but it wouldn't work. Here's the link

Mika is on page 5.

I'm not English so I don't know if what I'm gonna write is right, but if I understand well from here http://www.theofficialcharts.com/top40_albums.php TBWKTM is 59 in the UK and not 45 anymore. Anyone tell me if I'm wrong (I'd rather be wrong than knowing he's lost 14 positions)

Salut! ça fait un petit moment que je me balade sur le MFC mais j'étais pas encore venue dans la french thread. je viens de regarder pour Bercy par ticketnet et ça met "épuisé" pour les 2 catégories. c'est bizarre ça a l'air de changer régulièrement...

Hey I listen to RTL2 too

Which radio??

I think I listen to the same one!!

(kinda late, but...)

It was the French radio RFM. I don't usually listen to that one, but I randomly heard we could vote for Mika. It was 63% for the Beatles when I started voting, and after 30 minutes Mika won with 61% My only regret is that they didn't play any new song, they played love today, big girl and relax.

My mum, watching Mika on French tv a while ago

"How did he manage to get perfect hair and teeth like this? Life's unfair"

Yay so happy too! And if I'm not mistaken, it was double platinum at the end of October, so it's probably much more than 200 000 sold in France by now

Oops sorry about Belgium, that's what the French website wrote

Here are some charts updates from http://www.chartsinfrance.net

TBWKTM

France #25

Belgium #28

Spain #22

Netherlands #24

Belgium #28

Switzerland #33

UK #72

WAG is still #37 in Italy and #67 in France

YKYAMFW you spend 30 minutes voting on the internet so that a French radio show plays 3 Mika songs in a row! Yay I made him win, 61% against the Beatles

Thanks for posting!! I had been waiting for this. I was so scared it was not doing well in France! Now I feel much better

Blue Sky, I'm new here but have been on MFC quite a lot for the last few days (weeks? i don't even know it's too addictive ) and I have to say from my point of view it is obvious that you are of great importance for this website. I don't really know what happens when meeting or not meeting Mika as I've never even seen him in concert, but I understand your disappointment. With all the effort you put in here I have no doubt that one day it will pay off. I don't get what happened on the japanese website but I can tell you these jealous people are not real fan. I can't wait to see Mika for the first time but it doesn't mean I hate everybody who has already seen him or meets him quite regularly. On the contrary, their (your) reports are even more important. So, thank you!

Lol! I read that two days ago! I was sure a MFC member was behind all this! Well done and thanks!

According to a French radio show, Rain is #20 of the songs which are most played on their stations across Europe(I think it includes 8 countries) So it does get played

I always thought British people had very good taste in music. How come a major artist like Mika could not interest them?

I agree with you Caz (Hi by the way, I can see you post quite a lot, I'm new here). I already said that I feel there was a mistake in the promotion of the album, that even as a Mika admirer I had not really noticed when TBWKTM had been released. Ok that's fine because I got to notice at last, bought it and I feel like a fan now, but still, where was he this whole time? Well, on tour I guess.

Oh gosh this thread just made me realise how popular Mika is in France. Almost every time I go out shopping I hear one of his songs. This week the whole new album was on in a shop. I remember hearing Happy Ending too. But I can't even recall all of them!

I speak French, English, Spanish, some German, a little bit of Italian and a tiny tiny bit of Chinese.

I've got to say there must have indeed been a mistake in promoting the album, as I'm a new fan (even though I loved Mika and LICM already in 2007), and I kind of only realised the album had been released when I heard Rain on the radio. I mean, I knew it was going to be out as I had heard WAG all summer, but then when you're not a complete fan you don't always check release dates etc. It was easy to miss it even for Mika admirers.
