looks like you have this one MIKA – Life In Cartoon Motion (2007, Jewel Case, CD) - Discogs hmm curious, it doesn't mention the fact the listing on the back is missing "Your Sympathy"

Ok, so i took your list and alphabetized it (cuz that's how i am lol), then added in the info other people have posted in this thread. Then I went through the Mika encyclopedia, added the missing songs and the earliest live performance dates that i know of. Found a couple from TBWKTM i forgot to get exact dates for, and one that's totally wrong in the mikapedia. It's really late and i need to sleep, so i haven't looked up videos yet. *I purposely didn't add any songs from his first album since the earliest performances of those are hard to really know and would be super hard to confirm. Beautiful Disaster The first time without Fedez was on March 7, 2016 in Bari, Italy, he did it alone at least a few other times in 2016 Blame It On The Girls The first time was at The Roxy surprise show in Los Angeles in April 2009.

i somehow missed this thread?! excellent thread idea @PoodleSnow! I do love a good Mika list When i get some time I'll check into the info i have on mikapedia and let you know if I find anything of interest. One thing i did spot is this EMILY - 6 August 2011 Das festival, Schaffhausen, Switzerland, is Elle Me Dit in English (lyrics here). At least i don't consider it to be Emily at all, since the lyrics are a much more literal translation than Emily and he doesn't sing the word 'emily' in it at all. He's never actually done Emily live before.

lol yes that's who i meant. they're both called Pierfrancesco and my old brain got them confused. ty for the links

Looks like the list is missing Mika's covers with his final Voice contestants... I think his heavenly cover of Ancora Ancora Ancora is also missing <3 <3 <3 His cover of Pure Imagination w/ Pif is missing too, but I can't find that one on youtube One song on the list is unavailable and hidden for me @dcdeb I wonder what it is. This thread has lots of his covers. My favorite has got to be I Miss You w/ Clean Bandit. I will never not watch that whenever i come across it.

perfect idea for a thread Prisca! feels like I've seen him in jammies about as often as i've seen myself in them i made a gif... from

i like this song, a looooooot, and have been listening to it a lot Thank you for transcribing! Here's the changes I hear: They say there's no road out there You say you don't even care They say there's a mountain You say you climb over ... The future, what it holds is there for you to write Only one thing's for sure What's good is worth the fight ... They tell you to take your time But you see the finish line No one can stop you Oh claiming your thunder No idea about the Yoruba/French bits

Ah ha, i figured there was something about capybaras i had missed. He does seem to get along with others well. If you included people Mika met who have tweeted about how nice he was in person you could fill about 10 more tiktoks EDIT: just happened upon not one but two books about how capybaras are everyone's friend https://www.target.com/p/capybara-is-friends-with-everyone-by-maddie-frost-hardcover/-/A-83996977 and https://www.target.com/p/you-re-a-good-friend-capybara-by-chronicle-books-hardcover/-/A-84708885

Awww but I only just got back 🤭 I’ll just have to watch the episodes ASAP

Great job! Why capybara tho? They're nice and all, but I've always considered Mika more of a quokka

uh oh use spoilers please! or say something like "you know who" instead of names Some of us haven't watched this episode yet. *tries to forget the name Sean* I'm not usually one for "heart-wrenching" stuff, or music that isn't Mika, but this show is really good! I hope it comes to Netflix so when I'm hanging out w/ my friends I can casually happen upon it and suggest it, then act surprised when Mika is the star of it.

so I found out my captions aren’t gone, they just weren’t showing up when I clicked each photo. Turns out I captioned that first photo as ‘Mika and Jimmy Coco’, whom googling says is a “celebrity tan expert”

thanks for pointing this out! It was one of the pics that I used to have captioned but the caption is now gone and I couldn’t remember this guys name so googled Jake Shears and thought they were similar enough that I didn’t look into it further This is the pic w/ Jake that i was thinking of

a bunch more... Michael Stipe of REM was in one of Mika's old vlogs (sorry for the crap screenshot, the video quality was not the best) Mika and English singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor Can't believe I forgot about Beth Ditto of band Gossip and the Showtime series On Becoming a God in Central Florida such crap quality but i've never seen this photo any better... Mika with VINCINT, Amy from Jeopardy, youtuber Terrell Grice, and Victoria Monet Mika, with former Great British Bake Off host Matt Lucas, actors Ian McKellen and David Walliams, and radio host Graham Norton Mika and that hottie from the national news James Longman xD Mika and Paloma Faith Mika and Jamie Cullum Mika and Mexican singer Paulina Rubio one of several photos of Mika and Imogen Heap As i was looking for more on my pinterest boards and noticed the captions i had added to many of my pins identifying the people Mika is pictured with are gone and the links are wonky. All that hard work down the drain

probably not the kind of 'Mika wearing an earring' you were looking for https://content.invisioncic.com/r259115/monthly_2019_12/InShot_20191225_085012351.mp4.b580c40e5d1164b41574e214a2e7aa76.mp4 unf i love this picture so much, it's been one of my favorites of him since it came out. His gaze, it bores into my soul

Cool idea @Jaela! I found a few more I don't think were mentioned yet... i hope these are the type of famous Mikafriends you're seeking. Mika and Kristin Chenoweth Mika and British actress Kristin Scott Thomas Mika and Australian comedian, & actor Josh Thomas Josh Thomas on Instagram: “This is me in @mikainstagram's kitchen. He is asking me for the tasting notes of a calvados whilst also getting mad at me for not being…” Mika and Natasha Beddingfield Mika and NOT Jake Spears Mika and Lady Edith (Laura Carmichael) from Downton Abbey Mika and Nick Littlemore from Empire Of The Sun Mika and Cœur de Pirate (Béatrice Martin) Mika and Labrinth MIKA on Instagram: “Such a good night #lastnight with @pppiccioli @maisonvalentino and ❤️❤️ @labrinth ❤️❤️” I found one of Mika with the tv host/actress Ellen but i figured she falls into the "ehhh, not a good idea right now" category

i made this google doc spreadsheet w/ all Mika's tour dates (that i know of) on it for the Mika encyclopedia... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RbF0qnm5veYKqr5P7D_bOGLlMjNedRWya77DJSKZykk/edit?usp=share_link I updated it in the autumn of 2022, so it doesn't include any late 2022 or 2023 dates on it. For your first question @Hero, that's an interesting one. I can't think of any offhand, but I haven't checked my list. It seems festivals tend to switch up the lineup from year to year and Mika doesn't always tour every year. For your second question, it depends on what you mean by "played". The list Eriko posted includes things like radio performances, and my list only includes live concerts of at least 3 songs (so it includes gigs like private event concerts and his street performances in Livorno and Ancona, but not other things like radio recordings and award shows). I guess you can't sort the doc by city as a guest, but I can and according to my calculations he played live concerts in London 42 times (plus 3 cancelations and 1 i think was in London but i'm not sure) and in Paris 40 times (no cancelations). Next closest seems to be Milan at 16 times. You didn't ask but I was curious, so I sorted by country and found he's had 88 concerts in England, 152 in France, and 64 in Italy.

Mika talked about the film at his show in London in July, before Who's Gonna Love Me Now

Happy birthday Mika! here's my gift to everyone in celebration of Mika's 39th... DONE IN THE WEEKS FROM March 26 2020 til December 25, 2020ish and May 1, 2022ish til August 18, 2022: added at least 98 new entries, added 22 all new extended entries, and added extended info to 5 existing entries (see below), tested and majorly reformatted the entire Mika encyclopedia so it worked with the forum updates, made a spreadsheet list of songs Mika’s had on his playlists/played when he DJed/etc so i can sort them by artist/title/etc, made more collages, went through and fixed over 80 broken links, made a list of which entries were missing a photo and/or quote so i can keep an eye out for them, added a line for related video to all extended entries even if i couldn’t find a video for it for consistency’s sake, researched past tour dates and added some i'd missed and made changes to others and added a fun fact to a bunch and a photo to almost every date and added all the upcoming ones we know of, added a bunch of new information about singles and gave them their own section in each extended entry, redid the way i have the artwork and music video sections in the extended entries, majorly updated Mika’s extended info entry and gave his entry it’s own post because it’s very long, removed more than 20 entries that seemed superfluous and moved any relevant info to other entries, watched many Mika videos for “research”, tested a new color scheme but haven’t committed to it yet, made major updates to over 280 entries and countless little edits to others, added tidbits of info i’d come across in trawling through old MFC posts, changed the way i alphabetize the entries from letter by letter to word by word, put *NEW!*, UPDATED!, or NEWLY EXPANDED! before entries (instead of just making brand new entries green) so it's easier to search for new stuff, and etc. NEWLY ADDED ENCYCLOPEDIA ENTRIES: Louane - Funk Off - Mashrou’ Leila - Etel Adnan - Topolino - Cooking With Mika - Geraldine Fougerat-Gay - Paloma Faith - Marseille - Lordana Bertè - Ornella Vanoni - Ugo Tognazzi - Fadi Abou - Rosamunda - Patrick Fiori - Annalisa Leo - “Kill Me On The Dance Floor” - Anything’s Possible - Baby K - Pierre Lapointe - Opel - Kering - “Gangham Style” - “J'ai Vu” - Fabio Zacco - Francesco "Katoo" Catitti - Manuel Agnelli - Hell Raton - Vergo - Eda Mari - N.A.I.P. - Lewis Capaldi - Hala Warde - Viviana Varese - Tempo - Lotus - Mustafa - Movimenti Production - BMI - “Pump Up The Jam” - Terence James - Neo - Ecco - Anthony Touma - Paul Ventimila - Victoria Adamo - “Overture” - Dolly Parton - Elvis Presley - Subwoolfer - Renaud Rebillaud - Alex Stacey - Adam Goodall - Patrick Bruel - Milinsky - Mira Mikati - For The Rite Of Spring Tour - The Magic Piano Tour - Indeed - Soundtrack Of Empathy - Laura Iseley - Ty Sunderland - MPHD - Klô Pelgag - Claudia Bouvette - Christian Sean - Do Ré Mika Sol - Fellow - Westfalia - Nika Paris - Clement De Witt - Claudin Alban - Life Dressed As A Man - Divie - Grace Kelly Tiktok Challenge - GLAAD - Philharmonie De Paris - Ludovico Tersigni - Coupledom - Lebanese National Order of Merit - Opéra Royal de Versailles - Minat Lyons - Mika Redonne Des Couleurs À Paris - Lou Doillon - Jakub Józef Orliński - Thibaut Garcia - Vincent Bidal - Stefan Plewniak - Gautier Capuçon - MazMusic & Media - James Murray - Mustafa Omer - Choeur Stella Maris - Craig David - Frederico Fellini - Bruno Santori - “Modern Times” - Tehu - Simone Marchetti NEWLY ADDED EXTENDED INFO ENTRIES: “Le Coeur Holiday” - “Bella d’Estate” - “Me, Myself” - I Love Beirut - "It Must've Been Love" - "Si T'étais Là” - "Six Heures d'Avion Nous Séparent" - “Bolero” - Live at Sadler's Wells bonus disc - “Yo Yo” - “Who’s Gonna Love Me Now” - Eurovision - “Wooden Heart” - “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town” - “The Christmas Song” - “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” - Laura Pausini - À l’Opéra Royal de Versailles - “I Have A Dream” - “Big Girls Don’t Cry” - “Anna e Marco” - “Fragile” - “People Have The Power” NEWLY EXTENDED ENTRIES: Michele Bravi - Soprano - Danna Paola - Star Acedmie - David Sneddon MAJORLY UPDATED OLDER ENTRIES: Beirut - XFactor - The Voice - Joannie Penniman - Ida Falk-Winland - Max Taylor - Emma Marrone - Alessandro Cattelan - Rufus Wainwright - Viktor & Rolf - Christian Louboutin - Andreas Dermanis - and more UP NEXT: Just a few of the things on my to do list include making more collages, changing the color scheme, adding fun facts & photos to more dates on the past tour dates list, adding photos and/or quotes for those entries that don’t have any, linking to more videos (especially the older extended entries), adding more detail to some of the new entries because i was rushing to finish the updates and skipped some less important stuff, more researching in old interviews and videos and threads, adding more bits of bio & other info to extended entries, and everything more. Pinterest no longer supports adding new GIFs and may possibly convert all current gifs into jpegs so I plan to move all my gifs elsewhere and relink them.

i’m glad you recognized it, because I had no idea! Its such a cute gif 🥰 i can’t login to VK anymore, I’m blocked for some mystery transgression

at walmart today in Nebraska, USA they played Grace Kelly! i freaked out and fangurled in the aisle. sadly, looking around at the other customers, no one else around seemed to recognize it. after i calmed down a bit i found a spot i could hear the song better and held my phone out to take a crappy video of nothing in particular so i can relive the moment.

no, she was on the operating table getting the tube put in. 😢 sorry to bring the thread down everyone, please continue posting cute pics & stories 🥰

Nevermind.

Tortellini hasn't been feeling well. She's going on a feeding tube Monday morning because even with appetite stimulants she's barely eaten anything in days... except clumping cat litter, she's been eating that for days if not longer. Please send her good vibes! here she is "hiding" at the vet's office Friday her being mad on Saturday because i took her snacking sand away and replaced it with newspaper

Mika and Kendji covered it once
