never heard of ariana....i don't roll too much with the nickelodeon crew these days she's not that famous obviously, prolly only with the tween set, otherwise i'd have heard of her the song isn't awful..it just sounds EXACTLY like every other disney/nick song geared towards the tween set (not even teens i'd say) and the musical arrangement sort of overpowers the vocals.So sadly i don't see this winning him any new adult listeners in the US, it's too niched and cliched...and if it does take off amongst young girls it'll only further polarise opinion about him...but hey maybe not..maybe any exposure is good exposure and in any case any record bought is a good thing...though anybody buying TOOL based on this song is in for a huge surprise! me too but post dinner!

I would WHOOP if only I could believe him I got excited when i first heard him say it but now i think he was just being .... mika C'MON MIKA PROVE ME WRONG AND ANNOUNCE SOME DATES!! :aah:

he's running late i see... this show isn't as fun to listen to as dermot was the other day ..

awesome report and congrats Virginie!! Thanks for ur report too Anne...so glad u got to see him!

sounds awesome!! T4P but could u plz change the date on the thread title? it says november

well that was interesting...and trying to be objective all they said sounds true (right up until the 'u don't want more than one supermarket pop album' bit)...in retrospect things are so much clearer TBWKTM is my least fave mika album and there're at least 5 songs i tend to skip on it...so that creates the sad situation of a second album that the british public were 'fickle' about, but a great third album they would love, i think, it they knew it existed btw, interesting how below the program link u can listen to the songs they play on the program except for mika and robbie williams (who have separate links)

laurel i love your whole collection but especially the vinyls!!:wub2:

I used to be really upset with the whole situation as well, as we saw what was happening with the album release in various countries, etc. but i came to the same conclusion rosa - he doesn't see to be bothered much by it. Of course he just maybe be good at hiding that aspect, but he doesn't seem to be actively trying to remedy it either. Either ways my blood pressure was sky rocketing and Mika seemed happy enough so i stopped worrying and let it be :aah: at the bolded part...good point...i stopped worrying and now should just start saving... Loved the behind the scenes, but was a bit disturbed by the fact they posted this vid even tho he asked whether the mike was off (implying he wanted to speak off the record)...tho he may've given permission afterwards and yea MTV and VH1 are basically dead to music in the states too..

all very natural things to do when prepping to see mika...:mf_rosetinted:

love ur collection aneli!! esp love the keychain! inspired me to take pics of my lil collection: and i forgot to put this in the general pic and non-official merch from friends and gigs:

yup!!! i yelled out loud when dermot suggested that one this interview was full of win! i loved everything about it and didn't even mind that he did a cover - it sounded realllyy good too..

darn i didn't too mind the retro hits...but now it's just getting will be back in an hour

WOW. JUST WOW. :shocked:

i agree with all of this! i was looking for screencaps earlier and omg couldn't stop giggling at the early boat part and his acting i still like the vid tho...maybe i should blank out the beginning and show my friends it from the actual 'underwater'

what a nice thing to wake up to!! a new vid! First thoughts - very artsy, I was undecided as to the use of the silk waves but just went with it eventually...then he did a signature dance move whilst fighting for control of the boat and i was like ..the struggling with the boat went on too long and then BAM he was in the water and me being poised to not like the vid changed to instant love! At the end I literally shouted out I wanted more By the end of I watched 3 more times kinda glazing over the first half but totally enjoying the second...everyone else on YT seemed to think it was a great vid thus far too...which surprised me because of the dodgy opening but hey whatever works!! Can't wait to see what the media thinks and what this vid does for the song..

WOW. just beautiful!! thanks for sharing

thanks for inviting me along to your dream gigs dee - much appreciated! next time let's synchronize dreams tho omg zombies! and mika! sounds like a great mix!:aah:

yes i'm finding that out...oh how i am!

aaah i see!....actually no... i don't see why this one word has so many usages with such extreme meaning but i'll take your word for it and at face value i also saw that ta gueule is basically STFU so that confused me even more thanks guys!!

i think i said before how much i love this song and that i'm using it to 'practice' french...now here's my question..PLEASE forgive me if it's a stupid one cos i have no natural talent for foreign languages (like some ppl ) in the french lyrics on page 1 it says "Sans ta petite gueule si seul" Google translated gueule as mouth, but bouche is also mouth so i did some digging and apparently 'gueule' is actually an animal's mouth...why do u native speakers think mika chose to use that word instead of 'bouche'? seems weird...

I've said this soooooo many times!! but he seems to see nothing wrong with them and what they're doing soooo...
