I believe Pippa won last year, and Ronan keating has won previously. Competition is still open I think.

Also in golf cart looks like Yasmine or Ida - just curious!

Aren't they still looking for that for 2012!!! Doesn't have to be a Brit I don't think - he surely qualifies!!!!

I would bet if Mika is boxing it is only to learn footwork for dancing - that would make sense to me. Float like a butterfly!!

Great idea - Radio City Music Hall would be great - not small or intimate but I think he has always wanted to be there.

to Stephen Gately with Boyzone. Ronan is a cutie but Mika truly a sweetie.

Is there anyway to get a "legal" copy by paying someone in France to buy the song and then send the file to another person who will pay them for it? All legally and each purchase counted on ITunes France to keep it in the charts or another way to be sent a Gift Certificate from ITunes France? Just curious! I'm talking about only "legitimate" paths to own the song.~

It is truly a beautiful song. MIKA should be very happy and proud to have created this - I can envision this being played for years to come - not a forgotten pop tune but one that is timeless. Yes, maybe a little more West End or Broadway, but they have their die hard fans also. ALW will never, ever be forgotten - and I find it interesting to have him say that he could not later in his career have written JC Superstar and other earlier works. He wishes he could but he admits he just can't as time passes by.

Could someone post the link to this article - I seem never to be able to find it. Thanks - the original version would be nice and the English if it out yet.

This is a big and brilliant step for Mika. It shows that he is gorgeous, and more particularly, grown up and a beautiful/handsome man. His look is haunting and not one you would forget easily - I think it will make people take a look at who is he and what he does. He can't stay a goofy kid forever and this shows how different he is and how beautiful he has become. Not to mention how Masculine he looks it's absolutely brilliant. There was a video with Jonathan Rhys Meyers with a girl in an empty arena in a boxing ring - it was very, very beautiful and very, very sexy. Hopefully it would great to see Mika in video for the Hugo Boss fragrance. He is a young man and he is expanding his horizons - he has people to meet, places to go and music to write. He needs lots of space to grow and create. His creativity I think reminds me of a young Andrew Lloyd Weber (but much, much, better looking and a different genre obviously). He has to outgrow tofu dolls, etc. - it's nice to see him looking and acting his age - young, beautiful and very sexy with those smoldering eyes. Mika is truly blessed with so many assets. Let him use them - everyone seemed to think the Coke Cola episodes was so great and creative. He's growing up and hopefully will spread his wings as far as he can and land on his feet giggling and laughing and successful with a long and diverse career - in many different directions.

Keep an eye out for casting for a new Les Mis musical that is finally being filmed after 25 years. There are numerous parts (lead - Marius) for tall handsome singing young men in the script. Neo would be PERFECT as one of these lead young gentlemen. I have no idea how this works - but with the Internet, I'm sure he could find a link. He is extremely easy on the eyes and can sing. I would think he could also easily be in a Broadway or West End play. Would love to see Mika as young Marius also.

Was this mentioned in this long before dog thread? Alice is one of his "song writing names" - he said if he had a son he would call him Alice. Maybe it was mentioned previously in this thread. I like Bella (Twilight). I hope for the puppy's safety he uses a crate when he leaves the dog alone. Puppy's can get into everything and they need to be confined when left alone. Many years ago I sold a puppy to a family - the puppy accidentally hung himself with a long rope he was tied up with. Serious dog breeders should recommend a crate of some type for safety and it is the best way to house break a puppy. From crate to outside - all the time!!! Dogs usually will not mess in their own confined area at least not more than once. Crate should be small at first and then larger as puppy grows. It will also make it easier if he should have to leave dog with anyone else - saves lots of carpets, headaches and crying over accidents. Sorry to lecture - but this is a HUGE must for Mika - it is easier to love a less destructive puppy - and all puppies can be destructive. Mika trust me on this one - makes life so much easier. Eventually dog will find crate to be his safe place - do not give in to whining and crying - it is not cruel, it is for dog's own good.

I'm very not use to this fan club thing - where would be the best place to get the earliest notice if Mika is coming to the USA? Any thoughts would help.

I'm very new here and have never joined a fan club of any type - plus I'm probably a lot older than most members here. So my opinion could be valuable or outdated - but I'm very much hardly able to hold my opinions to myself. As I see it, Mika was brought up a "good catholic boy" as he put it. The Catholic faith he speaks of stems from Middle Eastern countries (Lebanon) and the mass is celebrated in Arabic I believe. I would find it hard to think that if Mika is not a straight man, he will never make it public knowledge. These countries are very much "anti" homosexual as I see it and their family life and faith is very much a major part of their life. MJ never admitted to being gay and neither did Prince (who states it is against his faith) both of these men were Jehovah's Witnesses as they were brought up. Mika's family although loving him unconditionally, would be shattered I think if he made being gay public knowledge. I think, eventually, he will marry and have a family, and if he is gay will keep it to himself - even though he is at odds with many of the tenants of the catholic faith (who doesn't) - but it is hard to shake their beliefs. I could be totally wrong with this - but it's just my thoughts. Even though much of the world considers themselves non-homophobic, there would be many, many, gals and guys in Mika's audience that would lose such intense interest - let's face it - the music is wonderful, he is beyond good looking and a great entertainer, but 98% of that audience are attracted to Mika and can fantasize about having a physical relationship with him - changing that would change the dynamics of such young concert goers - let's face it as we all know "sex sells" and Mika is pretty smart when all is said and done. Just my opinion as I said previously said - plus how many times has it been said that ever mother would love to have a son like Mika - so everyone is involved - I hope he stays safe, falls in love (with whomever he wants and can handle publicly and with his family). That is all that matters - whatever he is comfortable with - he never said he was bi - he said if YOU need to label me - YOU can call him bi - not that he was - that's the way I interpret this whole issue.
