As the video clip of Boum Boum Boum has been released, a few articles appeared in French press, especially online press. I thought most of them aren't really interesting, as they are from "not serious" press, that's why I didn't put them here, but there is now an article in Le Figaro, which is one of the most famous and serious newspaper http://www.lefigaro.fr/musique/2014/07/10/03006-20140710ARTFIG00324-mika-se-prend-pour-james-bond-dans-le-clip-de-boum-boum-boum.php Mika se prend pour James Bond dans le clip de Boum Boum Boum VIDÉO - Les images qui accompagnent le titre débridé du chanteur de pop britannico-libanais emprunte[nt] à tous les genres du 7ème art: western, film noir ou thriller. Une façon de se moquer des figures sacrées masculines? On en oublierait presque les paroles. Le nouveau clip de Mika pour la chanson Boum Boum Boum se place résolument dans un registre grandiloquent, emprunté au 7ème art. On y voit un Mika grimé tour à tour en cow-boy échappé d'Il était une fois dans l'ouest de Sergio Leone, en James Bond façon Docteur No (le premier avec Sean Connery et Ursula Andress, évidemment). Il s'invite également dans le Barry Lyndon de Stanley Kubrick, entre dans la peau du détective privé Sam Spade, incarné par le légendaire Humphrey Bogart dans Le Faucon Maltais, ou se réincarne en Peter O'Toole dans Lawrence d'Arabie . À chaque personnage correspond une esthétique particulière versant dans la caricature: ranch, saloon, et paysage désertique, tête à tête en noir et blanc, ou flirt avec une jolie blonde sortie de la piscine. Un clip résolument «second degré», même si on aurait aimé que Mika assume un peu plus le contenu de sa chanson légère et débridée sur les ébats d'un couple homosexuel. «Hier, on était chez ta mère, elle a failli tomber par terre en entrant dans le dressing-room, quand toi et moi on faisait Boum Boum Boum», chante l'artiste. Il évoque avec malice le «septième ciel» dans «les ascenseurs des hôtels» et les «étagères qui font badaboum». Entre la sulfureuse chanson de Boris Vian Johnny, fais-moi mal! et la naïveté enthousiaste de Charles Trenet dans Boum, Mika reprend à son compte cette onomatopée célèbre de la chanson française et la détourne de séduisante manière. Une esthétique baroque et décalée Si le clip ne fait pas directement écho aux paroles audacieuses du chanteur, il surprend par son esthétique baroque et décalée qui agit comme une douce satire des grands rôles masculins au cinéma. Boum, Boum, Boum est le premier extrait du prochain album de Mika, prévu pour novembre. Après avoir été coach (gagnant avec Kendji) dans le télécrochet The Voice et avoir enregistré plusieurs titres dans la langue de Molière (Elle me dit, Karen, Un soleil mal luné et L'amour dans le mauvais temps), l'artiste a annoncé qu'une partie de l'album sera en français.

Thanks for your detailed report Marina! I like having another proof that Mika cares a lot about the contestants' feelings

It seems I'm not the only one to find this pic is hot

That makes sense and you must be right An important thing is that he had fun doing it Happy for him

ohhhhhhh.... hadn't noticed that!! wait wait wait wait don't kill my hope to see a hint to men in the video The girl he is looking at is the one of the Bond scene. With some strange weapon and a bikini that, as DerMoment said, was not existing at Lawrence time. Is that a hint that the hint is a hint? In my opinion the scene with that girl with leg on the desk is quite hot It's the best, I think it's not a passion killer, more a scene like a "I love you, I hate you, I want to kill you, but I still love you" one. And I do think that Mika knows very well how to act to seduce a woman or anybody else... look at him at gigs sometimes I think he shows this face in the video either to show he is not interested or, as someone said, because he is worried about the husband coming

Love the video The views, the images are stunning, quality of image is amazing I like that Mika had fun playing with all these movies and references, it's fun for me too to watch it Of course, it's very messy, but I actually like, we need to watch it many times to try to get it, and I hope that everybody will do like us Totally lost in all the scenes and plots, if you find for sure which movies / stories it is, that would be great I don't even know for sure how many stories there are My opinion is that Mika can't act so well, but thanks to the editing, it still looks good. And he is damn hot in many scenes (I'm in the "cowboy without hat" group ). Oh, and I so love his face when the James Bond girl is coming very close to him at the pool I would have loved a twist at the end, or anything that could let us think than a man was involved too, but it's fine for me that there are only women: if he want it like that, he has his own reasons. Maybe he doesn't want to be confined in a box (for him or for the song) and he prefers to be free of doing what he wants, without receiving the label of "gay song" or "gay artist". Don't know. Anyway, the video is really great!! I'm watching it again and again with great pleasure

Are you READYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??? It's today!! In less than 2 hours :thumb_yello:

I'm soooo excited! And a bit worried about the "twist-or-not-twist" concerning a man too:mf_rosetinted: Still 24 hours to go

Bienvenue sur le MFC! Nous avons un topic en français ici: http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27777 Et n'hésite pas à demander si tu as des questions

Good idea

Very happy for you thanks for sharing with us

Thank you

first post updated, thanks!

Are you really sure that you can't get any? I mean, it's the second year, Mika is more powerfull now I hope you find a way (if not, you can maybe gather all Mikafans together and do a "let's watch the show!" party , it can still be a lot of fun! )

Can you explain more about it please?

The quality of the video is amazing! So much better than everything he did before, that's a huge step I love these 35 seconds, not sure how we will manage to wait until Monday And I don't really find him hot with the cowboy look, his face is too young or childish for me on it The pool look is perfect for me

Thanks for the pics!

OMG, this gift is so great!! I love the idea of presents finishing with -oum so funny I'm glad you had fun all together and that you could give the gift to Mika and that he came to thank you Thanks for the reports everybody
