In Mika's mind the just might be

His argumentation was more or less correct in the sense that he first mentioned his teeth falling out, then not being able to eat anything and only then the scurvy. Of course, if you can't eat anything you'll die of starvation before you get scurvy, especially if you're as thin as Mika.

My boyfriend is blond, and I think he's cute Mika doesn't seem interested though, at least not during the two gigs I took him to I've been hearing that story a thousand times now. Did anyone actually catch it on film or is it one of those fishing stories, where the fish gets bigger every time someone tells it?

I loved his answer to the blonde/brunette question, but I kind of missed this part

Thanks for the laugh, that was hilarious

A she - usually the best guess on this forum anyway

Hello lady

I know she was being sarcastic, I'm from the same country and that's how we communicate. But as you say, it doesn't work well on a multilingual and multicultural forum. I guess I should have put a after the first part of my post as well. I think we've been teasing/confusing poor mikaforever enough in this thread, especially since he/she is from a part of the world where I know people usually are not used to that kind of sarcasm.

That would explain why he put LYWID on his record and publicly stated it was about his boyfriend... I assume the remark was about wishing him happiness in his relationship, which I would guess you'd wish him too. Not everyone's English is as perfect as yours. That being said, silver's probably is and she doesn't get you

Yes, we are kidding. But the first answer you got was true. He himself has said is dating someone but would prefer to keep the identity of this person private. So if you don't know what to believe, here's the first time he said that on video (as far as I know): 9YRjDkTIRyM

May I summarize no one likes paparazzi, we all agree to not post these pictures on the MFC because we want to respect Mika's privacy, but in this particular case it could have been worse, since at least they didn't make up ridiculous stories or say something bad about him. Now shake hands and give each other a hug

I couldn't agree more. The only thing I tried to say was that if Mika knew what he was doing when he said yes to X-factor, he sure knew this was coming. Even though he's probably not amused...

What? Is the boyfriend in there? It kind of was a rhetorical question, but I guess that gets lost on a multilingual forum. I didn't take a close look, but if a bunch vacation pictures is the best they can do, Mika must be the most boring celebrity ever. If there had been something newsworthy in the pictures, the article would not have been nice

The 'only doing your job' argument is never a good one. Of you truly disagree with what you have to do for your job, you should find a different job. However, paparazzi do serve a purpose in the sense that when Britney Spears came back with a song everyone knew about it. And that was not because of her record company, it was because she always stayed in the public eye. And as a result, that single of hers was played more than all songs of OOL put together What's up with that Mika Italia twitter/facebook, by the way? Aren't they supposed to be the official Mika channel in Italy? They are posting a link to the article...

I think it's a good decision not to keep the pics here. It's a good idea for a fan club not to indulge itself in paparazzi pics and respect their guest of honour. At the same time, I would like to make a remark on the privacy issue. Mika himself pointed out a zillion times that celebrity was an unfortunate side effect of being a singer-songwriter and that he always was a songwriter first. That gave him the freedom to say that his private life was not relevant, because it didn't matter for the music. Now that he's becoming a judge in various talent shows, that is no longer true. He is sitting there as Mika the person, the celebrity, more than as Mika the artist. So even though we as fanclub should respect his privacy - because it's the decent thing to do and we're supposed to care about him - at this point I don't think we can blame the paperazzi for treating him as a celebrity. That's what you get if you behave like one.

I had the same thought That jump looks awfully high...

I have no problem writing a coherent piece of text (you might not believe it, but in real life I can do it). I wouldn't say there's much logic to anything I do though

I had both his albums, but it took me about five or six years to actually google Mika (and end up here). In all that time, I never once cared about his sexual orientation. This column is not just read by hardcore fans. I would imagine that a lot of casual readers that might have seen Mika in an X-factor snippet once or twice don't have too much of an opinion about him or his sexual orientation

Hm... Ik heb wel ergens een intro gezien van Annie, maar misschien in de world rep thread. Ik weet het niet meer. Ik weet ook niet of Monique zich afgemeld heeft ofzo, ik ken haar niet. En geld... Tja...

Let's just say he's probably pretty high up the scale, somewhere between 5,9 and 6 or so Not because of this column though. Regardless of the truth, the way this column was written is very clever. By approaching it in this way, he is normalizing homosexuality and still linking the whole thing to gay rights. With all the remarks in there, about a large variety of topics, this might be his most political column to date, but because of the way he writes it, the way he makes the whole thing feel so brutally honest, it doesn't seem that political at all. It's almost like some of his songs. They seem nice and innocent, but they really aren't. Probably that is the reason I love this column so much.
