  1. I loved the interview ( the parts i understood ) And i love the acoustic version of The Origin Of love Do we know if we will be able to see Mika's performance tonight ?
  2. I bought a ticket for the Luxembourg too !
  3. It was amazing ! I love the new songs so much ! I didn't take videos/ pictures this time
  4. Is it possible to watch this emission on internet ? This link doesn't work for me http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/tv/bbc_two_england/watchlive :/
  5. I loved the gig I took a few videos but the sound is really bad The first video :
  6. I didn't understand all the interview But i think i understood a few things
  7. I made the translation : girl : Mika in live on RTL2, who will be really on stage for " Les Déferlantes ", so he will sing at 00.30 . We met Mika, today it was a bit complicated but we met him a few days ago. Gregory met him for you, he tell us the atmosphere of his concerts, how he see his audience. interviewer : Finally your a bit like Tintin.. Mika : Like Tintin ? Interviewer : Yes because you have fans from 7 at 77 years old. It's amazing ! When we go to one of your concert, there are all ages, all styles. Do you know that ? Mika : Yes, i know it's all styles, i've all, i've young people, i've punk, i've lot of fans who are... For example they don't go to pop concerts. One day i met a fan and she told me : " I only go to hard rock concerts and things like that and you're the only pop singer because you have an extremity in what you do " I take that like a huge compliment, it's really nice. Interviewer : It's great ! Mika : Yes, it's cool but i never know what i'll do because i never know the audience i'll have in front of me so i often change the show Interviewer : We know you like that, to give you on stage, on your audience. The festivals are differrent ? How are you a few minutes before to go on stage ? Mika : Sometimes i've only a few minutes before going on stage, it's the problem with festivals, but if there people who listen me and who already go to my shows for exemple in a theater or le cirque d'hiver, there are a theater side in what i do. I work with lot of people who work in an opera or in cinema and we make show with a few decorations, for the festivals it's totally different, it's the report between me, the music and the audience. This year i have new musicians for the first time in 6 years, it's totally a new band, it's summery, it's cool. Interviewer : It's the summer so it's totally corresponds to " Celebrate ", in an euphoria where everybody forget their problems Mika : Yes it's that, exactly and i love make festivals and i'm happy it's when i can test new musics but when i'll be in France, i'll sing french songs because for the french version of the album, the album is in english, but there are 3 french songs. girl : Mika at the base wanted to make a french album he changed his mind, the festival of Argeles will discover a few new songs from " the origin of love " his next album which will be released in the end of september, i think it's the 25 of september and of course RTL2 keeps you informed of the released date because an album of Mika is always very expected, he's very popular
  8. The translation : Interviewer : ... With a new album in stores the 17 of september, called " The Origin Of Love " Mika : Yes Interviewer : The song " Celebrate " is with Pharell Williams, it's an universe more urban than your others songs. Does it mean that the album will be like that ? Mika : No, not necessarily. In fact it's a collaboration between me and Pharell Williams and a band called " empire on the sun " and it's... The album have lot of references like (?doesn't understand his name ), the bee gees and things like that. I wanted to do a dancing pop, which make smile, which give a great feeling and when i watched Celebrate i say " it's summery, it's great. There is one side a little more dancing so it's a natural choice. Interviewer : On the album, i read there will have a collaboration with Benny benassi Mika : Yes ! Yes, i work with Benny Benassi and he's quite dancing. I worked with Benny benassi and after that i took these partitions, and we repeat them again with players of the symphony from London so there were classical players who played the partitions from benny benassi so it was quite funny to see these men of 55 years old playing on marimba and things like that. And it make me smile and it's quite surprising. It's a mixture of Mika's world and Benny benassi's world. Interviewer : " The origin of love " will be released the 17 of september, Mika does it mean the album will be more electronic ? You said more dancing so more electronic ? Or not at all ? Mika : there are two side on the album, one side is more electronic but in the same time there a side totally organic. For example the song " the origin of love " it's like ? ( he says the name of a singer i think but i don't understand it :/ ) there's a song called " Lola " there's a song bee gees but in " Stardust " more californian and electronic. It's an album, i don't know.. I really had pleasure to do it and i done something i like and which make me dance, which make me smile. Of course there are slow songs too. One of them is called " Underwater " with no electronic sounds but in what i do, there are moments where i can mixe styles. So there are electronic sides, organic sides and sides almost classic but as i make my own music, i write what i do, i really can explore different sounds and it's a freedom and i'm lucky to have it. Interviewer : So Mika you speak about the music, you often say your music is like love letters, but here we want to know for who is it ? We want name now because it's enough. For who are they ? Mika : ( laugh) It's not fair.. but it's sure, if we have no reason to write songs what does it mean ? If there are not true and real and personal reasons, there are nothing. Interviewer : Yes, i understood that, but what's the name ? Who is it ? Mika : No, i put it in my songs but not on the radio Interviewer : He doesn't want say it, he's in love ! So the album will be released the 17 of september and it's called " the origin of love ". So we spoke about Pharell Williams, Benni Benassi, will there have others duets ? Mika : No, there don't really have duets, there are 2 productors i worked with, Greg Wells, i made my first album with him and Nick littlemore from a band Empire on the sun . There also have french songs , i wrote them with a friend called Doriand who is a french songwriter so for the French version of the album there will have 4 french songs with all the others. I want to mix the french and the english songs. I don't really want to separate them, it will be like we hear 2 english songs and just after a french song. For me it will be better, it's like a representation of what i am because i lived in Paris when i was younger and at home we speak french, english and a part of my family speak arabic so it's a mix. Interviewer : Thank you Mika ! The song is called " Celebrate " in duet with Pharell Williams, the album will be released the 17 of september called " the origin of love ", tomorrow you'll be at Argeles for Les Deferlantes , the 17 of july in Nice, the 18 of july in Vienne... In short the hollidays are not for you. Thank you Mika.
