  1. At the moment I did the transcription (check on the subtitles), I'm starting the translation right now but if you wanted to help me, I'd be glad.

     

    Sorry I didn't see this before, I don't know where you're at with the translation now; I can help but not before Sunday.. Let me know if I'm needed :wink2:

  2. Is that right that he wants 10 tracks on the album and we already know that 4 will be French? To call 6 songs an "English album" is a bit of a stretch IMO.

     

    He's now talking about 2 French songs, one of which is BBB.

  3. Ok the following is not French but it's IN French so I guess I can post it here?

     

    Interviews from yesterday in Belgium

    I think Elwendin's working on the translation.

    An album in French?

     

    It's completely false. My record company in France would have liked me to make an album in French before Christmas, but it won't be possible. It's not the right moment in my life. There will be a few French songs on the next album, but it will essentially be in English. It will be kind of a concept album, on today's 30 year-old Mika. I will be easily recognizable. To make it, I rent a house, not in London, where I have my friends, my dog, my habits, but in LA, a city that I hate. I stayed there locked in for 2 months. I wrote on the piano, we can hear it, we can hear flaws, piano keys, a creaking chair... It's 60% done. It should be ready for early 2015.

     

    What about your return to The Voice France?

     

    I haven't signed yet, and I don't know yet if I'll do it or not. At the moment, I'm focusing on my album. But I can say that I loved doing it.

     

    Would you have liked to participate to The Voice Kids?

     

    No. When you sing in front of an audience, you reveal yourself a lot. I was not at ease doing this with children. In order to understand my decision, you have to know that I myself started very early, when I was 9. During one year, I had 2 hours of lesson a day with very strict Russian teachers. My mother pushed me to do it because I was rubbish at school. She wanted me to evolve somewhere else. 7 months later, I was singing at the opera. I feel like I became an adult at 10. It was good, but it was tough. It allowed me to find my way, to get where I am now, but it remains a difficult experience. I was crying everyday.

     

    Does the big success of your protégé Kendji move you?

     

    It's great. 70000 albums sold in a week, it's an event. It had not happened since 2007. He's got an incredible energy. What I liked with him is that he was bringing something different. There are a lot of singers nowadays, we need artists with a little different something, some light... He's got it.

     

    Amongst other rumours about you, you are planning to have 5 kids...

     

    I said that during an interview. Someone had asked me 'Do you think that someone like you has the right to have children?' I immediately retorted 'You're kidding, I hope?' and that's why I said that coming from a family of 5 kids, why not have 5 too myself. But in reality, I'm not ready. That said, I'm currently testing life with a baby, my sister just got a son, he's 4 months old. He's training me!

     

    A nephew whose pictures we can often see on your Twitter account, how do you manage social networks?

     

    I manage my Twitter account on my own and I'm useless, it's a disaster! I only post pics of my dog and my nephew! My instagram is crap too... I often spend several days without using Twitter and then suddenly I post some stuff 4 days in a row. But each time, I've got the impression I'm losing followers instead of gaining some. The worst thing is that it bothers me even if I don't even know these people. I admit it, it hurts me! Actually, Twitter gets me a bit distressed. I prefer Facebook, but on this I get help, that's why my page is good!

  4.  

    Thank you!! :flowers2:

     

    I watched it all, but it froze a lot in between. What a show.. It's always the best when he jokes with the audience like that.. And he didn't forget us all at home :blush-anim-cl:

     

    A tiny bit disappointed for BBB as he didn't sing the high bits, but I'm sure it'll get better with time :thumb_yello:

     

    Now I'm hoping to get some reports from all those lovely people we could see in the front rows!

  5. According to this http://www.actuanews.fr/Mika-sera-de-retour-dans-les-bacs-debut-novembre_a17968.html, album might be out by November the 4th... :fisch:

     

    That would be great as it would be the exact 5th anniversary of me becoming a fan :teehee:

     

    But more seriously, I think it's more likely to be the 24th. First, because it's the date we've seen a few times in other articles (and the latest in the month is more likely with Mika I'd say :naughty:), and also because albums are out on Mondays here and the 4th is a Tuesday. Or it could be the release date for the US :dunno:

  6. On Charts in France website they say that the BBB video is climbing TV charts and is #19 now (+21!). Perhaps number 1 in the future!

     

    "L'artiste à surveiller, c'est incontestablement MIKA. Le clip de son nouveau morceau "Boum Boum Boum" continue de prendre de la hauteur et termine sa course à la 19ème place cette semaine (+21). Sera-t-il le prochain numéro un ?"

    Great, thanks for posting! :thumb_yello: I've seen the video on TV this week only for the 1st time, but looks like I'll see more of it in the future.

     

    A bit off topic but I've just checked iTunes and BBB is actually #22, and #9 for pop songs. I'm pleasantly surprised as we don't hear it much on the radio!

  7. I think I have to work then. Really annoying how trivialities like work get in the way of following Mika :sneaky2::mf_rosetinted:

     

    10 am is probably the best time because everyone will want to comment on the vid then anyway. However, apparently the best time to tweet is 2 pm. I know someone who studies that sort of thing and according to him tweets that are sent around 2 pm are most likely to be retweeted and liked and thus are more likely to have impact. No idea why.

     

    How I wish they could release it today instead of tomorrow! Work always getting in the way :sneaky2: Would be so nice to have a full-time job as a Mika fan :teehee:

     

    Maybe at 2 I can try to tweet something even if I probably won't have watched the video then. It's still better than 10 :aah:

  8. to keep the convo awake....

     

    I think all Mika hits from LICM are classics now in France, because of how much airplay they used to have and still have. But you are right, EMD was surprisingly his biggest hit here, everybody knows the lyrics at gigs, and I have to admit that now when I hear a radio presenter announcing a Mika song, I take it for granted they're going to play EMD (I'm happy when it is but happier when it's not; especially at the time Underwater was charting). So in that sense, I'd say that yes, in France, EMD has become THE Mika song; although in my opinion I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. And I think that for the French media, Mika also himself is a 'classic', a singer whose presence and success is undeniable. It's a good feeling :wink2:
