There was a huge debate back then in 2008 about his new look with yellow polo T-shirt and short curls.
-
why?
that you don't like a song that doesn't mean you're not a fan, I mean, I don't like some Mika's song, but it's ok 
I'm afraid both.
And I loved her so much...but she's changed a lot and somehow lost her personality, became too comercial...and this song just sucks. Sorry
Maybe it will pass for some time.
-
I had really high hopes for this song, but I don't like. Maybe it will grow on me
Me too. Sorry, but it seems I'm not that Gaga fan for time being.

Noooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaay!
He is only interested in people's brains as we know :rolls_eyes:...........but maybe he changes his mind if the brains are inside some cute head
Yes
:roftl:Yep, I totally agree. The way I see it, the internet and RL are not mutually exclusive at all. In fact they complement eachother beautifully. Internet IS part of RL for many people these days, and I think that it's something to be embraced and treasured.
I'm sure that he's looks oriented to some degree, like most people. He's only human.
The fact that he puts effort into his own looks, and that he worries that he looks ugly/fat/whatnot, shows IMO that he does find looks important.
Exactly Seriously now, I L-O-V-E-D this column. I totally, completely and utterly loved it.
I found myself agreeing with him on most of what he said, and also really enjoying the way he is being so candid and open and realistic about the whole thing without worrying about being too pc or socially acceptable or whatever. I thought that it was a very refreshing and 'real' piece.
One thing that I didn't agree with though is with his views on his Myspace relationship being classed as 'internet dating'. Yeah he met this person via Myspace, but it was just a way in which a stranger got in touch to ask him for a date, and then the relationship was conducted offline
It's not much different to meeting someone through a blind date set up by friends for example, or by very briefly meeting them on the street or in a bar, etc... Sure one has not seen the other person face to face in this case, but really, a short first meeting with someone in most social circumstances doesn't really provide much info other than just feeding our senses with some attraction. And, really, if we go solely on physical attraction and we don't look at any other aspect of the other person, the chances of a potential relationship taking off the ground are close to zero.Now speaking of 'proper' online dating, as in, meeting someone through a dating site, where people sign up with that only purpose and potential couples chat to eachother and finally meet up in RL, is shown by research to be a very efficient way to meet a partner. Far more efficient than actually meeting someone randomly on the street, a bar, etc...
The reason for this is that it's a bit like a job application: people are vetoing and selecting potential partners based on compatibility traits, and the time and energy wasted on the 'wrong candidates' is minimal, thanks to the readily available 'shortlisting' capability of these sites.
In short, you may see someone in a bar or at the gym that you like the look of, but the chances of that particular person being interested in you AND compatible with you are pretty minimal. You multiply your chances of success by a lot by doing this process online, as you can very quickly separate the chaffe from the wheat, and then meet in RL the ones that you are confident have a high chance or success. Of course then the relationship will have to run its course in the same way that any other relationship would, but at least you have established a lot of common ground before that, and you have a higher certainty of the fact that this person is not totally wrong for you.
I have never used online dating myself before, but I do have some good friends who have married people who they met online, and are very happy. Incidentally, these people were all quite 'eligible' in general terms (smart, attractive,educated,good work,etc) and didn't have trouble meeting people in RL, but they found that it was hard to meet that special person that they totally connected with, and in their case internet dating was the way to go.
Everyone who says looks don't matter are liars. Of course Mika finds looks important. I'm quite sure that someone who spends so much time on his own personal grooming, won't want to walk next to a scruffy person.That said, online dating can be good, my dad and stepmother met each other through online dating and have been married for 10 years already. Needless to say it can go wrong though, as it's easy to pretend your someone else on the internet.
That's exactly what occured to me after reading his column.
Even though he stated that he could've fall in love with any body shape, etc. I highly doubt it.
But in his on line date fiasco he obviously invested emotions and intimacy, not only physicall attraction and that's what hurts the most.

Videli i komentarisali.
Izgleda da baš nema sreće sa on line vezama.

Oh that's fab isn't it. I have to admit, I'm not keeping up with the MGMT stuff at the moment..I have to do better. Thanks for posting that here, I would have missed it otherwise.
I still can't believe what a hot girl Andrew makes
.Wooow, this Andrey guy looks really gorgeous in your siggie

Tickets bought.
Hopefully they won't cancel. -
i haven´t been even naughty
:shocked:what about suzie???
you quoted her too...Yes, but you're always the leader of the gang
-
only sympathy??
You should go to NC again
I think the whole story makes perfect sense now since Mika made it clear the guy was better looking than the girl would have deserved, anyway.Of course, it makes a perfect sense to me.
If it had been the opposite situation I'd probably thought the same (as an objective observer)
But I'm sure you haven't had this possibility on mind.
Anyway, I'm trying to be serious: is it possible that he finds people looks so important? Cos he stated that he mainly gave a damn about it.

T4 posting:flowers2:
[url]http://videodrome-xl.blogautore.repu...mika-pop-up-3/[/url]
I can say that I love his article. :biggrin2:
He obviously has mixed-up feelings about get knowing or dating someone online due to his personal expereince which unfortunately ended in a bad way for him. But also Mika doesn't reject that form of contemporary comunication at all.
This little story about a "rude girl" was intentionally included here as the example of shuning someone in the real life and maybe that reminded him also of his own situation, hence a bit mysogine tone and a sympathy for the guy.:naughty:
Getting know someone better by digging or googling them can be very painful, sometimes much more than in the RL. I know a couple of persons who met someone in flesh and got a positive vibe, but after "discovering" some awful things about them on line were totally devastated. :thumbdown:
His observation about no difference between virtual and RL personality could be very accurate IMO. It turnes that we're in danger to be equally deluded by knowing someone both in the RL and on line.:boxed: -
With enough money to spend, anyone can get this lucky.
Clever and realistic
and lean on mika*starts saving money*
:mf_rosetinted:Maybe you can lean on Mika without saving money ?
I think that the right word is 'partner', not mistress . They have been together for many years, have a child together, and he is not married to anyone else. (Mistress is used for illicit relationships where one or two of the parties are married to someone else)
True, actually I don't see anything particular odd in her dancing except a bit flirtative attitude, which is quite normal IMO when you paid him for your B-day performance.

Hey girls, I wanna do a little poll... What is your favourite song from TT's past albums (from The circus, Beautiful world, etc...) ?????
From the circus, I love Up all night and from Beautiful world Patience!
Me too

You're welcome dear! Sanremo will be on Rai 1 and I'll watch it! I'm very happy! But about Brits I don't know anything!I don't think MTV will air this event!
Great news
MTV did it back then in 2008, when Mika got his award.
But after that I think you're right

February: special month for Take That!
Remember! Sunday 13th February Take That will be at Brits Awards and they're nominated in 2 categories: Best British Album and Best British Group! Finger crossed, go vote them on http://www.brits.co.uk/voting and hope they'll win both awards!
And Friday 18th February Take That will be guests at Sanremo's Festival!! (
) They probably will play the new song "Kidz" from Progress and after their performance Robbie will do something special with the presenters of the festival! It's a surprise! Stay tuned this month!
Thanks for the updates. We can watch Sanremo festival if it's on RAI Uno.
As for Brits, I'm not quite sure, but maybe something will be aired on MTV?

yeah, well, tell it to the guy whose lyrics I edit and keep saying him exactly the same for three years now
I mean, it SHOULD be like that, but when a songwriter has to choose between the meaning and the rhyme, often the meaning looses the fight. to be honest, I have no idea what Mika wanted to say, maybe he was talking about a male person, maybe he just mixed up his lyrics again, bottom line is, it doesn't matter
I was just stating the fact that language is a living thing and just like any living thing, it's full of strange and wonderful things and if you know how to use it, it can be both a powerful tool or a magnificent toy
Lyrics in the pop or rock music are quite different from the poetry as a genre and songwriters mostly adjust they lines to the rhyme principle. Sometimes you can find exactly the same in so called prominent poetry, but it's a sign of a bad taste.
It works in the pop music though, and can sound pretty lame. Not in the Mika case I mean.

don´t forget he writes it in english,robertina... he needs to use a pronoun
As far as I know he mostly uses the pronoun "they" in English.
Maybe this time it was different but I doubt...We'll see soon

Yus, you can haz!
Ok, so adding to what Robi said, this article deals with friendships and relationships in the age of Facebook. He starts off by saying how he went out with someone when he was 22, not long after having signed his first record deal, after they contacted him through his Myspace. They only went out for a couple of weeks, the other person saying that's how online dating worked, but he wasn't aware of that, and he didn't like that at all.
Then he goes on to say that online dating's become normal. He writes about a couple he saw who'd met in a queue in a café, the boy asked the girl if she was on Facebook, because he wanted to see her again, but she said no, that she preferred reality.
That's the thing about the internet, he says, it gives you the opportunity to contact people you wouldn't, or wouldn't have the courage to speak to in real life. Online you can dig through a person's past, and get to know them bit by bit, through photos for example. He admires people who shun this kind of contact, and wonders how they do it. A female friend of his, who amusingly only wants to meet rich men, says that the internet can break down social barriers such as the economic or professional background of a person. You can know a lot of things about a person before you meet them, which changes the dynamics of a relationship, something he didn't understand before.
He finishes by saying that the internet is part of our reality, and that the girl in the café had got it wrong, in reality she was saying that she didn't like the boy, it was a way of making him feel stupid.
Thanks again Nezza
And of course Robi for posting it.I can only say that I completely get his point.
Personally I wasn't ever involved in the romantic relationship with someone via internet, but became a pan pal and know how intense it could be.

Since the news of the reunion, they always said that it was only for one year : a new album and a tour. I think it's more going to be TT feat. Robbie, a perfect combination of good music and entertainment.
Now they give the 'old' fans the chance to say goodbye in a proper way and not with a silly press conference as they did when they split up in the 90's.
Oh, I'm glad to hear that
Happy birthday MARK!
39, he's old
+1! Happy birthday Mark!
A very happy birthday Mark !He's not old, just a little bit older than 20 years ago
Mark, have the wonderful birthday! We love you

Yeah it's not off topic. It's going in my gig report.
Thanks God
This info about Melachi just made my day.

I've listened some interviews and they're talking about the tour and about Robbie in the tour with the band and solo.
So I think there'll be all of them
just for once.awww..me too
I'm convinced that he'd do his part of the job. For the old good days and friends:fangurl:

Mika has to learn more about his dog habits.Especially cos he has a female.
They need a special treatment.
that you don't like a song that doesn't mean you're not a fan, I mean, I don't like some Mika's song, but it's ok 
:shocked:
