Just checked ... it can be both.

We are THAT great at English

I hope he will àct the 'dead'-part...

In my case I rather have him alive...

A gay dead body:dunno:

That wouldn´t be "acting" or "playing a role"

Or even better!! A STRAIGHT DEAD BODY

Isn´t it called "corpse"? Or sthing along the lines??

... or playing a dead body.

Or even better!! A STRAIGHT DEAD BODY

I don´t know what you think of "cameo" but I understand that he is maybe just appearing for few seconds, maybe not even speaking or doing anything else than walking down the lane...

Done

I must admit I expected something naughtier, to be honest

It´s great to see Mika involved in such a funny performance.

In my laptop

Are you planning on uploading it? or do I need to steal your laptop?

That's because you're still in denial...

 

To me it looks like he'staking her on a stroll to meet one foot boy...

And Guy was here and didn´t sent you to the NC?

Guy... what´s up here????

The vid is blocked (but saved )

Saved where? I arrived too late

I am not sure that it is plural yet.

Don´t f***

Yea she's a singer who was HUGE back in the early 2000s... Arguably the most famous French singer at that point... I have tres awesome memories associated with her first CD and have been a casual fan ever since

 

 

 

Wow!! So cool! she seems really nice, I'll have to ask roxy if this is true

Roxy told me herself

I want MIKA more and more as a filmstar!! In "Underwater" video we clearly see his talent as an actor - and he looks sooo fantastic in all kinds of costumes!! So come on MIKA !! - I also want you on big screens, in the near future

 

Love,love

oh my God... THERE MUST BE AN UNDERWATER VID I HAVE NEVER SEEN!!!!

Talented as an actor? :shocked:

In UW video?!?

Thanks Robi, your post represents my feelings

Damn... I need to hide this pic forever. I bought this exactly shirt to my son last week and if he realises Mika wore it... he will never wear it again... LOL

like christine said, we don't know what kind of contract he has with them. maybe he has a contract for 5 albums and won't get out of the contract sooner than that (unless he pays them a lot of money). and they might be able to make his life quite hard if he's stuck to them, since they won't support him more than it's necessary. in any case, i'm speculating here, but just saying that it might not be up to him (yet) whether he wants to stay or leave.

Records deals are way too complicate. As you say he might have a long term contract which is keeping him stuck. And maybe it´s true that he had total freedom to do what he wanted, to choose the songs he wanted and even the people he wanted to work with...but yes, if sales are not good, the label could tell him "ok, guy, we trusted you and you have failed twice, so next time you´ll do exactly what we tell you". So we might be "slightly" surprised by the next album.

By the way... do we know how many millions of albums has he sold yet?

Did we all know that Roxane interviewed Alizee few years ago when se was still a journalist?

WAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

I´m pretty sure his boyfriend already knows it. Oh well

Welcome!!

Hi! I'm new, too.

Hi!! Better open a new thread for yourself, so everybody can welcome you properly!!

Damn... I woke up early to see the show and he did just that small appearance??

Anyway,Im happy to read here that you all like the curls back. My twitter timeline said right the opposite...pffff... I agree he looks good. And deaf .

And I absolutely love how,each time he says WHATEVER,our first reaction is: "oh,in case this is true..." HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA. Amazing how hardcore fans dont trust his word anymore LOL.

Anyway,I agree,he looks good and relaxed so,IN CASE THIS IS TRUE and he didnt enjoy his holidays and IN CASE THIS IS TRUE AND HE LOST EVERY I-WHATEVER HE HAD,at least he had time to recover.

I'd probably feel the same

Not that he can perfectly buy 97327537534 Ipads and 83475928347524758932475 Iphones

Seriously... is there any human being able to pronounce " KüçükÇiftlik"????

FOR GODS SAKE!!! Im also taken my Advanced certificate in English next June but fortunately it has NOTHING to do with yours!!

Im sure Ill come here to ask things when I get the summary but these questions you posted are way too weird!!

Hello, I am a fan of Mika and I think he is a great person who transmit happiness, fun, show to people around the world, each person is as each person wants to be. This is the message which Mika teaches us and I agree with him. I love Mika's way.

Hello, have you already said hi here??

If not, do it so we all can welcome you properly

I would love to see him doing music for films! Actually, I could see it happening, like a natural step for him.

Of course he would do it amazingly fine. But I really think he "needs" people´s feedback, he needs to interact with the crowd and writing music for films the wouldn´t get that... Even if he decided to do it, I hope he keeps on touring.

Well, I have seen posts here denying that Mika is motivated by appealing to an audience since he is only motivated by expressing himself with his ' art' ...

I can clearly see a difference between Bieber and Mika in terms of artistic integrity. It is my view, of course, but I can't hear Bieber being 'present' in his songs (the ones I saw on tv,anyway), since they all sound plain, full of cliches and with no personality at all - totally commodified. In Mika's case the lyrics tend to reveal personal thoughts, the melody often has some characteristic Mika style elements, like octave jumps, and the arrangements are usually more complex than plain chart music. In other words, Mika's musical signature is in his songs. Or at least in most of them. So Bieber is a sellout Mika is not. IMO, of course

I only questioned Mika's motivations with certain simple lyrics and radio-friendly arrangements (that never worked though) twice: with the lead singles of his last two albums. They sounded too artificial and non-Mika to me, but looking back he may have simply tried too hard and failed as with him trying to comply with the standard never works. He should have realised it by now.

 

I don't understand it, either. One common strategy worked for the first album because it was so good it stood out from the rest everywhere and his image was less confusing, more the 'boy next door' image rather than the Louboutin wearing exclusive pop star type.

Totally agree here. He is Mika, and any attempt to look "standarized" (or however it is written) is a fail cause his music "used" to be too particular. I´m not sure now what happened here. I do like this album and I think there are a couple of really good songs. I still think that OOL is priceless and Stardust should have been the first single.

Agreeing with someone who posted before (not sure who, sorry) Tah Dah is a very special song that IMO should have been in the main disc instead of being a bonus (WTF?).

Well, I don't know under what circumstances Celebrate turned out the way it did. He did mention Pharrell adding the line 'it is gonna be OK', and called it 'classy'. In my 'value judgement', it is not, in fact, the opposite. At the same time, in a recent interview he said that he re-mixed Pharrell's version with Nick Littlemore and came up with something different. Regardless of who spoilt the song (if it ever sounded good at all with that rap insert, anyway) , I personally classify it as non-Mika style and an awkward attempt to make it sound 'urban'. In theory it may have been his intention to have such song on the album, of course. However, whether I am wrong or right about the reason behind it, it is still how it makes me feel and it seems a large number of people felt in a similar way. It does not make it a bad song, just not fitting Mika and the presence or lack of authenticity is always based on some kind of value judgement, imo.

Collaborations are collaborations and I will never understand them. If you are a songwriter, GOSH, MAN, WRITE YOUR OWN SONGS AND DON´T LET ANYONE MESS WITH YOUR IDEAS. (rant over). If you really need (or at least that´s what your label says) to do some collaborations in order to make your album better promoted, at least you should choose better who you collaborate with. I swear I never heard of Pharrel before and never heard of him after knowing he collaborated with Mika...

And yes, there are a lot of songs in this album that don´t sound like Mika at all. And for me, the song that sounds more Mikaish than any other is Drunk. That song, since the first time I heard it, reminded me of the vids of Mika playing festivals in 2007. Don´t ask me why, but that´s what I feel when I listen to it. I don´t think Popular is Mikaish at all and I think it would have been fine as a bonustrack, but never as a song in A side, let alone a single. (as long as we still understand the word "single" as a "sample" of what the album is, of course).

Apart from the Mika-ish or not discussion, I'm wondering about something. People have been saying he didn't do anything for this song and wasn't in the studio with her. This last bit may be true, but since the song is faster and he sings the rap parts, it is different recording. So either it is one of the originals that didn't make the cut for the album or it was made especially for this single. Any thoughts?

I really think that version was recorded before, not sure if it was before the final version entered the album or after, but since Mika started singing it, what he does live, sounds much more as this new version than the Priscilla´s song.

That's why if you are going to collaborate to appeal to Americans you have to do it with the likes of Rihanna.

Who knows? Maybe Rihanna was asked and she refused
