After Mika's fb announces this comp swatch had better do something to ensure their site goes faster because they're going to be getting a looooot of traffic coming their way!

I think everyone on the team will have to be on at the same time - they already said the first clue will be given at 4 internet time on the 27th so I figure the fastest team to solve any clue wins that round I had no problem getting on their website and registering etc.. Hmm.. But it doesn't bode well if other teammates will then have a problem I'm also looking for teammates frm 2 other countries so...

The most exciting news I heard in a while!! Def entering this - now need a team with 2 other ppl who want to win this thing! Whoohoo!

I love the song an loved te vid until she licked the hammer! But overall I like the vid too - good concept!

I love the pics from this show but I gotta agree I thought the performance was not very good...they seemed out of sync and not very compatible, esp in the chorus glad I didn't wait up for it

I agree with all of this and esp the bolded part So yup I think the pics shouldn't be posted here as they are against the guidelines And yup we are making many assumptions (maybe educated, but still assumptions) about the opinions and feelings about ppl in the picture when the truth is, things change, people change and we don't know anything for sure about the feelings of the ppl in those pics until they decide to publicly address it... I guess it's more entertaining to talk about the pros and cons of paps and what Mika's reaction must be tho so as we were

Agreed with all of this. The end.

Thanks for relating this - this is as I thought... I can't read Russian so I would have no clue how to go about searching this sort of inside information... When a country already has other problems and wasn't very gay- friendly to begin with, gay people are an easy target for hatred and to vent on sadly

yup. exactly.

Well there's homophobia and then there's actively regressing in your laws to seem to want to annihilate an entire community... True there are many countries in the world where homosexuality is illegal (including here, though it's a long complicated story on how stupid it is that this still remains) and mika has visited some of them. but it can be argued that none of them, and in fact no industrialized country in this century, has made changes in their laws to actively make things *even worse* for the LGBT community. Feel free to correect me if I'm wrong, but I don't think even Lebanon, which has a reputation as anti-gay, criminalizes mentioning anything gay. I, as a member of a 'gay-rights' organization, won't think to visit Russia right now, and I'm happily married to a man, so I can only imagine how dangerous it would be for Mika...For starters, singing Billy Brown could land him in jail.. I'm glad to hear the majority of Russians are against discrimination, but sadly it doesn't help the actual LGBT persons who are being affected by these legal changes, including those who might have to face losing their children...Don't get me wrong, I would be very interested to hear your experiences, as a person on the ground, but I would be more willing to concede that the foreign media is getting it wrong if I can hear from a person in the LGBT Russian community that this is all being blown out of proportion, because at the end of the day, them, and their families are the ones being affected.

The money will be the least of the reasons he won't come to the Russian Voice Seriously though, it's like every day I read of some new atrocity being perpetuated against the LGBT community in Russia... Sickening and frustrating

Good points! I guess I was thinking more in abstract concepts of sexuality more than his *present* situation I remember this ingie! Wished I had wrote one too.. Guess I'll have to wait til 35

Should've listened to you Christine! I agree with the bolded part..at least for me.. Some ppl can't help who they're attracted to and they confuse this with not being able to help who they fall in love with.. In any case I also never thought future (or present) mika could ever settle down or fall in love with a gal, I just never ruled out the possibility of him *sleeping* with one, if only for procreation...until now! good point!!

This is the best column he's done since the one on punchinello (hope I got that right), imo... However...! Disappointed to see he thinks his older self won't have hooked up with a girl (even for a night! ) this means he thinks he's a Kinsey 6 ( a person who is exclusively homosexual on the scale of sexual attraction - which is comparatively rare) which means that whole thing he used to say about being able to 'fall in love with anybody' was a total line of BS :aah:tsk tsk
