Well, we say "batismo", but feel free to write it the way you prefer

Guys, I think he actually says "batismo", and not "machismo".

I bet he is!!! Isn't he?!?!

My very favourite so far, I like it much more than Underwater tbh, but maybe I'm going to change my opinion as soon as I have a chance to see them live. People should grab Mika's legs and arms and never let him go until he explains all the Latin/Spanish/Portuguese/Mika-Language part.

This Latin thing is driving me crazy.

Ah, nice! We can't count on anyone, can we?

"Machismo" *is* a word in Portuguese, so maybe he decided to put everything together.

Everytime I read the "like a fish out of water" line, I can't help myself but thinking of Gang Bang, or Bang Bang or whatever that song is called. I like this song a lot though, A LOT MORE than Celebrate, but not as much as TOOL, which is close to perfection , except for the "nicorette etc" part that I find a bit too awkward. Besides, Lola sounds so much like "old Mika" imo and I can totally see it being played on radios in Brazil even if I don't believe it would ever happen, if you know what I mean.

After all, he himself has began with the "I won't label myself" thing, so by now he should have found a good way to deal with the pressure. We all know that the press can be b*t*h*, and Mika even more than anyone of us. And until he decides to reveal a name, we can enjoy a cup of tea and continue to pretend we're not curious at all...

Love him.

Oh my God, this is so fantastic. I mean, to read him telling much more about his life, not the story itself, of course. It's not only a school thing. My boss tells me off all the time nowadays. Thankfully I'm old enough to tell her off back. Thanks for posting and translating, guys!

Her T-shirt is fab.

Thank you, Anne! Is it just me or he's "revealing" more details from time to time?

He's REALLY pulling Zuleika, isn't he? He even grabbed her arm and everything What has happened to the lovely boy offering his arm to Dita? Appart from that, I do like the outfit a lot. These trousers don't bother me at all and it looks perfect to match his "new style" but also to keep his roots.

Eu aposto como ninguém sabe nada.

Ele tá com cara de tolo

His best interviews are exactly like this, in which the interviewer throws a very simple question at him and he goes on and on and on with the answer. He's been putting a lot out to us this way. To me, the biggest reason why he's sounding so good is that he doesn't look worried about keeping that MIKA image that had to match his "old" songs. It feels like, with the new music, he's feeling ok to show everyone that he's happy, as if he's found out that it's actually alright to be happy and to look like a happy person, and ALSO, found out a way to demonstrate this as honestly as possible. I'm not sure that my comment is making sense, though.

Hey, I was the very first one saying that about you! I remember that. By the way, Laura, in case you also have spare plane tickets, I'll be pleased to have your not-won-from-Mika gig tickets. Congrats, girls!! I'm really excited about that now!

Oh dear Lord. And to think I wasn't expecting anything really WOW from MYH live. How good is it when he sings using those two microphones?! @mellody As if you needed to apologize or explain your fangurliness when he touches your hand. Twice. Thanks for everything everyooooooooooone!

Hello. I'm Francine and it's been 15 minutes since the last time I listened to Celebrate. Guys, I need help to get rid of those 15 amazing seconds.

In this case, that was Jodie

Hoje tava uma coisa de lindo! Tomara que ele tenha várias camisetas e jeans iguais a esses, tipo guarda-roupa da Monica, assim. Daí só vai alternando os Louboutins e tamo feitaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Meeeeu, sabe que até tô gostando mais de Celebrate agora? Aquela parte chatinha do Pharrell realmente é difícil de aturar (e eu prometi que não ia mais reclamar sobre isso lá no outro thread), mas tô curtindo ouvir a música! Meu, sério. Sobre aquela roupa... Fiquei TÃO FELIZ de ver o que ele vestiu pro LoveBox hoje, que vocês não têm noção. Até o cabelo mais lisinho combinou com tudo! Aqueles cachos são fofos, mas não combina com essa imagem mais polida que ele resolveu ter agora, eu acho...
