  1. I'm waiting for the translation and I'm feeling like a little sharp
  2. Ma l'italiano effettivamente è difficile quando si parla di singolare / plurale! Ad esempio in questa tua frase, la parola "menta" significa "mint" in inglese mentre se la tua intenzione è quella di dire "mind" allora la parola è "mente" Però l'uovo nella menta è bellissimo!!!
  3. 100.000 or 120.000 because I was reading that for albums the thresholds for the certifications are those relating to the year of publication. So, as in 2013 for the double-platinum 120,000 copies were necessary, I think he might have sold 120.000. Anyway, YEAAA!!!!!
  4. "io mi gaso" = "I'm excited" ma è un termine molto informale, un pò come uno slang nella lingua inglese, invece in italiano avrei dovuto scrivere qualcosa come: "sono elettrizzata"
  5. Che bello io mi gaso sempre quando qualcuno vuole imparare l'italiano, siamo comunque indubbiamente i più fighi Raya che bello averti qui, sei bravissima! L'italiano è una lingua a volte molto insidiosa anche per gli italiani, quindi è bello il fatto che tu abbia deciso di studiarla
  6. Thank you, I was wondering what they said but I could feel it was positive because I understood some words :-) well, they said really nice things
  7. Yes, please, I don't know how much time I can resist, for sure not until tomorrow!
  8. Thank you :-) , I literally adore this song and the melody
  9. Thank you elwendin for translation :-) a bit of shine in the darkness of not french speaking people
  10. This is one of my favorite songs, when I listen to it I always imagine an avenue of japanese cherry blossom at sunset, it's an image closer to anime, but this one is quite near to my imagination when I listen to it It's an avenue, there are cherry blossom, and it's a sunset! I love this song so much!
  11. wow!!! How did you find this amazing website? I love it, thanx so much!
  12. cause you've got an awful way to gooo:naughty:
  13. You welcome Here is the translation of the article above. The "Italian" period of Mika is making many fruits. Not only the Italian public is starting to know him in X Factor, thanks to his accurate judgments and his speech seasoned with some neologism (eg choosato, calque of English word choose, instead of scelto), but he has also realized the album "songbook vol 1", published on Nov. 12 with 15 international success, of which he took care of every aspect, from the choice of songs, the arrangements revised up to the choice of the cover. "I wanted to call it songbook because it is a concept that I like the most. I do not like "Best of", because it suggests that you close a chapter. But I do not want to close anything, it's just a collection of the pieces of the first three albums. Among a number of years I want to make a songbook volume 2 and at 85 years, I'd like to do the volume 3. This record is as if I was looking in the mirror, remembering who I was and who I am now. I started to sing classical music as a child, in this case into a Strauss's work. My primary interest has always was to do pop, but as I say. " The English artist of Lebanese origin has very clear ideas about what he wants to do and it shows into this album also in the choice of collaborations. "Stardust is undoubtedly the most important duet. Since I saw Chiara Galiazzo taking part in X Factor 6, we stayed in touch and we wanted to make it happen straight. But to ensure that this project took shape we had to wait, because the policy of the two record companies did not make it possible. Now, finally, we succeeded. To record it we went in my studio in London and I have to admit that I like the result a lot. Stardust was born as a dance song, now become a traditional classy piece. " On the contrary genesis of Popular Song, duet with Ariana Grande was more complicated: "at the beginning I was not very convinced. Ariana Grande comes from a teen scenery and it was not what I was looking for. Then I decided to hear her, we are contacted via Skype and I was surprised by her voice. In addition, Ariana also has a R & B album at the top of the American charts, which helped her to move from the teen scene. We recorded her in Canada and I in Los Angeles. Our video has totaled more than 37 million views on youtube and the song is going on the radio in the U.S.. It's really strange, every time I think that one thing may not appeal, the facts always belie me and does achieve success. " Michael Holbrook Penniman Jr, this is the name of the singer in the anagrafe, has already in the pipeline the new album: "I have experimented in the past and did my own thing. Now I want to sit down at the piano and composing catchy tunes. It's what comes most naturally to me right now. Definitely the touch with the Italian music gave me interesting ideas. I started working on the next album with a young author and I made hear to him a song by Paolo Conte at speeds increased, to let him know what kind of production and sound I want. I am working with Morgan on a track with my parts in English and he has the Italian one. The result could be very particular ... if we'll finish! (laughs) Seriously, despite the fame of controversial figure I admire a lot Morgan as an artist. When he sit down at the piano is like a crazy kid who lives of music. " As regards his adventure as X Factor judge, Mika is conscious to have on his hands the strongest category. However, he makes no bones about the strengths and weaknesses of his contestants. "Roberta has the most beautiful voice in the whole competition but she flaws in style, while Gaia is the argument opposite: she has a very original style but she needs to to reinforce the vocal part. Valentina has to fortify her stage presence while Violetta has to make her genre contemporary. But mostly, I want to prepare them for post X Factor. They must be conscious of their musical identity and say no, if they are not convinced of a song! I'm glad of the X-Factor Italia's experience and in France they called me to do The Voice! " Finally, how is Mika in Milan? "It's a wonderful city, but it's closed. To discover it you have to turn a lot. For example, this villa (Villa Necchi, which hosts the press conference) is beautiful but it is hidden, I would not have ever discovered it! In the evening I like to go to the Navigli to get me a beer. Or I take refuge in a restaurant, whose owner is kind enough to reserve me a table. And there I can work and write. "
  14. OK, here is the translation, ihihih now I go to bed In taking things in hand, I realized that there is a great freedom that comes after, but also a lot of work to have the freedom to do all the records I want to do. This is for all the artists and not just for me. All of us, all artists in the world, we have to find our way. As I did when I started. When I started I presented my record, my demo, as if it was an album already terminated by a record company. All finished, the visual, photography, everything. I did this to give the concept to the record company. After a while the situation changed because they are really… [here video is cut and the discourse change, he begins talking about Popular Song's videoclip!] I said **** I will not stand here waiting that a so big record company tell me, ok this thing goes well in this record, so do it. I said, no, I want to do this on my own and so I called all the people I know, for instance, I worked with Diadora (I think he said Diadora, I'm not totally sure :-D) to do this thing and I said it's not important if I have to do all these things to pay this video because Universal does not help me. I made this video on my own with my manager and now this video has 37 million views, large part from USA. 37 million for one song we did on our behalf. This made me realize the power of doing the things on my own. Now I can make the album I want to. With Universal's support but without asking permission and this is the most important thing I've done in this period of my career.
  15. Elle Me Dit VS Emily Popular Song (ft. Ariana Grande) VS Popular Song (ft. Priscilla Renea) Origin Of Love VS Origin Of Love (New Version) Stardust VS Stardust (ft. Chiara) Make You Happy (LA edit) VS Make You Happy (Miami edit) L'Amour Dans Le Mauvais Temps VS Blame It On The Weather In general: CD-vesion VS Acoustic This is the million-dollar question... Naked or dressed song... I don't know, sometimes I need really to listen the naked acoustic song... sometimes I need the dressed one. Every song can be dressed up in 1000 ways, so no. I can't really say which one I prefer. Maybe if I were to give an answer with a gun or someting like that, well I'd say I prefer acoustic version, but only because it's Mika and he's a songwriter and I really can feel, when he plays is piano, his real true sensible nature, and his fragility, and a lot of other stuff I really really really like.
  16. Relax Take it Easy is Gold in Italy, though I thought it was already gold record but it's only right now, it's strange in 2007 Relax was played all the time everywhere!!! Anyway... yeyyyy or better as we say in Rome: EDDAJE!!!!
