    Thanks for all the links & files everyone! Can't wait to listen, it'll be nice to hear Mika & actually understand him. Also, "sleepy morning voice" :mikalove:

    In Autumn  2021 in the Pif interview ( Il Testimone, Sky TV) Mika referred to Stewart (Stuart?) Crane as his London gardener and Dean and Danny as his plumbers so he perhaps had already bought a property.

    i actually just googled this the other day :teehee: I think it's probably

    Stuart Craine Design - London contemporary landscape

     

    never did figure out the one in Miami :dunno:

    My link to the clip of 13-year-old Mika singing the Christmas song "The Little Road To Bethlehem" from Le Divan no longer works. Does anyone have it saved? It definitely needs to be here.

     

    I figured someone posted it here before, but I don't see it. there's some empty posts so maybe it was there :(

    Yo Yo news and remixes - Mika's new single May 2022

    in Mika News and Press

    Posted · Edited by kreacher

    i think the new remix is alright, i can imagine myself listening to it every so often. i'm glad it's not nearly as long and repetitive as many remixes are & i'm glad they didn't make the song barely recognizable. hopefully club DJs will play it often and everyone will get exposed to Mika and dance a lot

    I tried to play it with different speed.

    You can change it as I marked on the screenshot.

     

    I like the speed 0,75 :thumb_yello:

     

    On 1,25 it's so funny :lol3:

    I've been working on Mikapedia updates for the past couple weeks, there's so much to catch up on!

    .............................but while updating i got an idea for a thing, so i made the thing list of all Mika's playlist songs! now i can sort his playlist songs by song title, artist, etc

     

    I tried to make the google spreadsheet so everyone with the link can see it & comment on it. Can someone please check that the link works?

    Mika returns with ‘Yo Yo’

    New single available now
    Global pop sensation Mika returns with new single entitled “Yo Yo” via Casablanca Records/Republic Records.

    “I wanted to write a song that could make you cry and dance at the same time,” Mika shares. “A song to make the world, in all its harshness, feel better. Something that will always be there to comfort you. I wrote this for you, as you listen in your room, or in a club: it doesn’t matter it’s just about you.”
    Next up, he will co-host the world-renowned Eurovision Song Contest. During the Eurovision Finale on May 14th, he’ll deliver what promises to be an unforgettable performance of his hits and his first performance of the new single “Yo Yo” to an international audience expected to exceed 180 million people.

    Mika recently concluded a sold out North American Tour, which culminated on two seismic turns at Coachella.

    Mika, known for his vibrant and multi-octave melodies and classically trained voice, uses music to unite a community, especially to connect with those who feel like they are outsiders. His body of work is inspired by personal experiences as coming of age and as a child, when music was his only source of hope. Last year, Mika’s viral Grace Kelly challenge, which has nearly 40 million views on TikTok, perfectly reflects his magical ability to create space for people to share their truth, using the power of music to evoke empathy.

    Mika has finally managed to pry the mic away from Laura Pausini. I remember seeing him perform a showcase at the tiny venue The Box, in New York, in 2007 and now he’s doing a medley at Eurovision.

    TURIN, Italy — Eurovision hosts Laura Pausini and Alessandro Cattelan are certified A-list Italian celebrities, born and bred here. But their co-host Mika is more of an enigma, although he is such a fixture on Italian television that, when I called him a few days ago, we began the conversation in Italian, even though he is British-Lebanese and has an American passport through his father.

    “I’ve been doing my lines in English and French,” he said, but the instructions he gets in his earpiece were in Italian. “Welcome to the blender,” he laughed.

    Mika, 38, whose real name is Michael Holbrook Penniman, burst on the music scene with his 2007 breakthrough hit “Grace Kelly.” Global No. 1 hits, accolades and awards have followed.

    In Italy, Mika has the special celebrity status granted to prime time television stars that conquer family living rooms. Italians first came to adopt Mika as one of their own when he joined the panel of judges of “X Factor Italia” in 2013. He was on the panel for several years, and even had his own variety show in Italy, “Stasera Casa Mika,” which ran for two seasons. He was also a coach on “The Voice,” a singing contest in France.

    Mika fans in France and Italy may find it odd to hear him switch between languages, as he’s been doing during the Eurovision semifinals.

    “But isn’t that good?” he asked. “It comes back to identity for me, a fundamental thing that’s always been part of my life.” Born in Beirut, Lebanon, to an American father from Savannah, Ga., who had traveled the world as a diplomat’s son, and an American mother from Brooklyn of Syrian and Lebanese background, Mika and his siblings were raised in Paris and London.

    “Europe is really where I found my sense of compass. I relate to the idea of Europe to the kind of universality of Europe and the diversity of it more than anything else,” he said. “And if that makes me kind of slightly surprising, or strange, to the audience,” he added, “well, that’s OK. That’s fine. That’s fine with me.”

    I have now sent another email, one where I’m less polite as they gotta solve this nonsense. Not only disappointing, but also not fair. 🤷‍♀️ And a lousy response. If I just said that at my job (service desk)  I’d get slapped in the face by the customer.

    I just got the same email now and also replied back!

     

    Never know, maybe having two annoyed customers might just change their minds about that discount ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

     

     

    they messed up, so they should honor the code anyway :mad3:

    Just about to order from the US store and there's no option for the discount code. Does anyone still have the email with the expiry date? I'm sure it said the 12th :(

     


    when I ordered a couple days ago the box to enter the discount code wasn’t until shortly before the last step. I had already entered all my PayPal info and stuff and was worried it’d charge me before I had a chance to enter the code. 
    could that be your issue too?

    Mika, the masked singer

    little did i know when i started this thread that there'd actually be discussion of Mika possibly being on the TV show. I just wanted one place to gather all the cute masked Mika pics :lmfao:

     

    I watched one video of the croc a couple weeks ago. i don't think it's really Mika, doesn't sound that much like or move like him... unless he was trying to throw us off by being as non-Mikaish as he can? Or is it someone else trying to be as Mikaish as they can?

    Isn't the show known for purposely giving misleading clues?

    why are the hands holding big brussels sprouts? ohhhhhhhh they're earth, i get it now :doh:

     

    "Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First held on April 22, 1970, it now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally by EarthDay.org (formerly Earth Day Network) including 1 billion people in more than 193 countries. The official theme for 2022 is Invest In Our Planet."

     

    I was surprised to learn this started in 1970. I don't remember ever even hearing of Earth Day until the 1990s & definitely never did anything for it back then.

    Yes, I believe it will be available in the online shop after the tour. It was designed as a Coachella exclusive so it should be on sale there again today. I'll let you know if I find out when it will be in the online shop! :thumb_yello:

     

    thank you for checking into this. I love the hat & would wear the hell out of it.

    thanks for posting your takes on the lyrics & thanks @Sivan for filming it.

     

    i listened to this twice on the way to work this morning, then Modern Times twice. This is the song that's been stuck in my head all morning, making me bop around the workroom. I guess that means it's the winner?

     

    If this doesn't become some kind of nightclub anthem i'll eat my hat.
