my crazy religious mum said "God has really blessed Mika with a lot of talent" and i'm thinking DUH THANK YOU CAPTAIN OBVIOUS! but i just grinned and agreed.

and my older sister listened to LICM at FYE (without me forcing her at knifepoint or anything) and i can't remember her exact quote but she liked it enough to buy it.

finally all my incessant Mikatalk is paying off

Rob Lowe's book cover totally looks like this still from Grace Kelly

...well, maybe not totally, but enough to make me squee when i saw it at the library!

i think his dragon shirt is lovely. It fits him well, i wonder if his momma made it for him

omg Steven Tyler is scary tho!

okay, i've been going through the old Wonkaland threads and so often i can't stop giggling at the captions & manips, but i gotta say for some reason this one in particular just got to me:

i laughed, i hypervenilated, i laughed some more, i snorted, i tried & failed to stifle it, i looked away, i laughed a bit longer just thinking about it & decided it's worth reposting.

heehee i typed 'mannips' instead of 'manips' at first! gee i wonder what's on my mind?

here you are

http://www.mediafire.com/?bulbg7sq2bas7hp

omg thank you sooooo much!

please, does anyone have this interview of Mika talking with Nicksy for download? http://soundcloud.com/nicksy/nicksy-talking-to-the-strange-mika

it's so adorable, i neeeeed it on my mp3 player but it says the download limit has been reached

" I wanna be your brother, wanna be your father too

Never make you run for cover even if they want us to

I wanna be your sister, wanna be your mother too

I wanna be wanna be

Whatever else that touches you

Whatever else that touches you

Whatever else that touches you !!! "

SAME EXACTLY! 'tis a catchy song i guess

i want to meet Mika so bad, it hurts bittersweetly to read your stories of meeting him. He seems so kind & generous to his fans

if i ever did meet him though... if it was with other fans around I might be alright enough not to come off as a total idiot. but if it was randomly one on one, like at a shop or on the street or something, i'd probably go all "I See You" and just stare with saying a peep

maybe if i had something to give him instead of just thanking him for his music & asking him to sign something i'd feel less awkward. i wanna make him something to express a little bit of my grattitude to him but i don't have any skills *does her best Napoleon Dynamite impression* "Mika only wants fans who have great skills."

That's ok, Wonkita' s used to those reactions

I'm sure if she was online, she would send you this:

Welcome to Wonkaland

Lucky you, you have three Wonkaland threads you can read back

OMG i love ducks, sersiously. i collect them, rubber ones especially, but any will do. i have a duckie toilet seat cover but this duckie w/ a stander-upper is even better!

i read all this thread & went back to thread #1 but i can't see a lot of the early pictures i guess it's because i'm not Wonka's friend yet and i'm way too shy to ask

Wonkaland is a magical place full of laughter & Mika & fun! why oh why didn't I come here sooner?

sorry Mika, but going through the old posts had me nearly pissing myself with laughter

YKYAMF when you are in a car and only stop Live At Saddler's Wells to check if EMD is on NRJ, Virgin or Hit West and when you take a pic of the CD player when it plays it

i do this all the time with the TV, even in the middle of my fave shows just because they might be playing a Mika video & i totally plan on taking pics next time i see one on TV... i even did some practice pics yesterday

(calls Mika)

 

Me: Man oh man oh man oh man!!!

Mika: What?!

Me: The cops, man! They've searched my closet thinking I'm holding a prisoner in there and then, just now, they nearly killed me! I was on a sidewalk, man! A SIDEWALK! He was in a car! Going 80! On a SIDEWALK!

Mika: Relax, take it easy!

Me: Don't quote yourself at me! This is serious shiz, man! I saw my whole life flash before my eyes! I jumped in the grass, but, what if they're after me, bro? What if they saw my laundry and decided it was high time I went into custody?! I can't live my life on the run! I'm just a kid! I have dreams and ambitions!

Mika: How old-manish can you look?

Me: Well, pretty darn.

Mika: Come be in my video! My fans can't possibly think it's me if it's you!

Me: Will you pay me?

Mika: I'll pay you with a hideout. Whaddya say?

Me: Heck yes!

Mika: JJJJJJJOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!! Get a sleeping bag! I just got free labor!!!

i love how a lot of them end with "JOOOOOOOHN" i can totally picture Mika saying that

YKYAMF when you can no longer type the word MILK without first mistyping it as MIKA (...see, i accidentally did it just then!)

YKYAMFW when you check out LICM, even though you already own it, from the library just to up it's circulation stats so maybe they'll get another Mika CD someday.

YKYAMFW aforementioned CD is unable to be kept checked-out, because someone else requested it, you scream with glee because somebody else in your podunk city must like Mika too!

YKYAMFW it's time to return the library's copy of LICM you sadly wave byebye to it as it disappears into the bookdrop.

YKYAMFW you are happy you got a 50 cent fine on the late-returned LICM and aren't planning on paying it just so that every time you try to check out the librarian tells you about the fine & reminds you of Mika.

^the latter three all happened to me today

I think that's pretty much it. He repeats in French that life is funny and tells the story about how not long ago he was playing in Birmingham for 15 people (he used to say this in English at gigs too). Then he introduces Holy Johnny.

ah ha! i thought that might be what he said

thank you!

I wont be able to translate it, but you are right about Birmingham.. He says (something like) he played it to 15 people in Birmingham

Thats all I got though, someone else will be able to help more

thank you for the help

YKYAMFW you answer the phone with "Is that you on the phone?"

YKYAMFW you convince your dad to carry a picture of Mika in his wallet (it's the Hugo Boss ad, he's looking for it for me )

what a brilliant story! thank you for sharing it. i was having an annoying day but your story brought the biggest grin to my face!

omg you handled it sooo well. i prolly would in his apple juice or something!

so i work at a library in Nebraska, do you reckon there's any hope Mika will come to my work? *still entertains her fantasy*

V-festival 2010

 

i love how effortless he makes this look, like he levitating

i love Depeche Mode not so much their more recent stuff but Speak & Spell, Construction Time Again, Violator, Ultra... just brillant to me.

Just Can't Get Enough is the only song that Mika's covered that I actually liked before I ever even heard of Mika

um... hello can i join the list?

i live in boring old Nebraska, but my sister lives in Philadelphia & I've been there many times!

if i ever get to see Mika live it'll probably be in Philly because i plan my visits to her around what concerts I want to see and i've little hope of him coming anywhere near enough to here.

pretty please can anyone translate what Mika says in French before Holy Johnny on the LICM dvd for me? i think i hear something about Birmingham but i'm probably way off

thanks to any who can help

i looove that he sang this in English!

i'm so used to singing along with the French lyrics (well mumbling vaguely French sounding syllables really ) though, this version is gonna take some getting used to!

Why is he allowed to sit on the plane stairs?? If I did I'd be asked to leave the airport and not to come back again!

that's exactly what i thought when i first saw this pic

he's so adorable that's probably how come he gets to sit on the plane stairs

i was just thinking about my 6 most fave Mika videos this morning because the news had a top 6 list of the best music videos since 2000.

i changed my mind about ten times but finally decided on:

1 We Are Golden (director's cut)

2 We Are Golden (regular)

3 Blame It On The Girls

4 Happy Ending

5 Grace Kelly

6 Rain

I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT KICKASS! that'd be my #2... not just because once Meeks cleans up he looks delicious

so sorry Rain, you go byebye off the list
