Non mi piace la scelta della Littizzetto, è inflazione commerciale. Il programma di Mika è delicato, empatico, gentile. Un moderno vecchio:  Mika fa del vintage contemporaneo, è un'offerta nuova e sperimentale, signori della RAI non guardate solo gli ascolti perché quelli sono il vostro funerale.

Vive Le Vent is odd but it embodies my idea of Xmas song, it is totally gleeful!

After the disgusting homophobic attack I believe we all have to consider 'L'Amour Fait Ce Qu'Il Veut' like the best hymn of freedom written by our immense Mika.

I'm very dithering but this is my Top3:

1) Promiseland

2) Good Wife

3) No Place In Heaven

I don't like so much the French songs, I find them a bit bland, vapid. However Mika, in this new album, offers us all his own whole magic Promiseland, with both suave and Caribbean rhythm.

I believe it represents the most personal, intimate and mature masterpiece. There is a great song for each emotion, for every feeling, I do love the flooding fullness, the overflowing richness and the fleeing emotional hues of the album.

In the last period I fear that Mika is losing his own.."mikaness".

So I've just sent this:

@mikasounds please never forget you're the author of INCREDIBLE songs like #LoveToday & #AnyOtherWorld

Be yourself. We love YOU as you are.

Yes, Elwendin is right. Her point of view is clear, but I think that an artist, and an extraordinary one like Mika, is capable of taking inspiration from daily situation. An italian philosopher said that "without images feelings are blinds and without feelings an image is empty." To wit, it is possible that Mika has written the song after the 'ordinary scene of a couple', but his genius was able to universalize that. If I had been in the same place I would have seen a couple of lovers and nothing more.

Yes, that's also what I love about the song. It's not about homosexual passion, it's just about passion. The song can apply to any couple who are in-love.

There are some gay celebrities whom I just can't stand. Not because they are gay, but because they flaunt it. It's like, "look at me! I'm gay!" They don't do their cause any favours.

But Mika isn't like that. He doesn't sensationalise being gay, he normalises it. The fact that BBB can apply to anyone in-love is saying, to all people, that Mika being gay is not weird, strange or wrong. He is just a normal person who has fallen for someone of his own gender, rather than the opposite. But love is love, and the song expresses that so well.

True, true and TRUE...

I really like to read your opinion. Until now I didn´t dare to state mine here. Am I the only one who feels the song is not only lyrical wise about physical love? For me the whole song, the mellody and his voice is chicken pur. How he starts soft then build up the tension and build up build up until the climax.....

Sorry but this was my first Impression and I feel it every time I listen to it

So true, Sabine!! I tried to express the same feeling through my terrible metaphor

...Mika is certainly, much more open about his relationship now. It's good he can write songs about it, without using metaphors. It shows that he's very happy, and that makes me very happy for him.

Totally agreed. I'm very happy and proud of him, moreover he writes about sex in general, not from a homosexual point of view, because love and 'boumboumboum' is unique in the whole World

I am very sorry to express my opinion about this new song only now and I am also very sorry not to often partake to Fan Club's discussions.

Well, the first times I listened to 'BOUMBOUMBOUM' I really loved the thrilling rythm, a breathless music indeed, my heart was hammering, oh boy!! It was hotter and hotter like...like the paws of a running ant (I apologise for the metaphor). But I didn't understand the meaning, the message that Mika wanted to communicate. I believe that you can get emotional only if you can mix and combine sounds with comprehension.

Then I decided to read the translation many times and I am convinced it is not a hit summer or silly song. I try to explane.

Mika has written several songs about love: the sorrowful love (Toy Boy), the “annoyance” and bitterness of love (Ring Ring), the love for free consideration of oneselves (Big Girl)...

Now, I believe 'BOUMBOUMBOUM' represents the true, independent, pure and, for these reasons, in the end, the physical and passional love.

Yo Mika!!

Excuse me for bothering you all.

I have just listened to this new song, I think it is so catchy and above all enough danceble to become the hit of this summer. That’s sure!

Hello everyone!

 

Firstly, I want to apologize you for my English, I know what it's not too good, but I'm working on it:wink2:

 

My name is Adrianna and I'm from Poland... I try to not write here much about me, what is very difficult to me, because I love writing (in Polish of course). I'm a complete dreamer. I love books (especially fantasy ones), movies (all kind of them), classical music (Mozart is my favorite), theater, dance, Polish, maths, basketball and many other things... Before I started to listen Mika I liked metal and rock music, now I know that it wasn't for me...

 

And now about Mika...

I listen to Mika for only a few months, from December. I knew who he is before, and I knew the few songs, like Relax and Grace Kelly and few years ago I really liked them... About Mika reminded me children's performance to Lollipop in Britain's Got Talent, which I watched on youtube. And I started to look for more Mika's songs and I totally fell in love with him and his music. This was very sad time for me and Mika helped me feel better and he's still helping me at any sad moment. I will be always grateful to him for that. He and his music could make me feel happy like nothing else.

Adrianna, I "met" this Genius of Mika in a similar occasion...WELCOME:group_hug:

WELCOME

I still have my make up on.

Lucky me, someone gave me the hint that a white one would have match with my outfit, and my water proof mascara really is water and sleep proof. Apparently I’m not getting rid of it ever. Nope, didn’t removed the make up before going to bed yesterday night. If I didn’t because I never wear it and I want to cling on it for another day, or if I just don’t have any stuff to remove it, or if I was so done that I barely was able to get upstairs and toss myself in that sweet device we use to call bed, who knows. You would probably go for the last option when you’ll get to the end of this report (yes, I’m talking to the two of you who are reading it till the end).

 

My inner alarm clock suggested me to get up at 6, even if I could have slept for another hour at least. I had some little troubles to fix, the last one of them was getting to work forgetting at home my new clothes. Lame.

Anyway, somehow I managed to leave at noon, thinking “Ok, I’m eating on my way to Milan”. And I drove I drove I drove without any music (forgot my cd at home) till my lousy navigator told me to get out of the highway. I knew, oh boy if I knew it was wrong in so many ways. And still, I obeyed cause no democracy is allowed with Chiara (yup, my navigator’s name is Chiara). I suppose after yesterday I'm just calling her B****. Me and Chiara spent the next 40 minutes driving merrily downtown Milan, enjoying the traffic, cyclists, pedestrians and of course, special mention to buses, while at least four people were sending messages to me or calling on the phone. Guys. No way. I wouldn’t even reply Mika while driving in milaneseland. Obvioulsy I didn’t stop for lunch. “Ok, I’m eating when I get there”. I was accurate in following the indications and I never got them wrong, so we finally got there but where’s the damn parking lot someone said there would have been? You, you that gave me that hint. You better know that there was no parking lot at that address. But wonders happen and this is how I found the only free parking spot in all the area. I rule. Time for heels, gals. People were texting to me that they were already there, besides I was in nowhere land and no bars or restaurants were there. Just a nice, convenient, mocking access to the orbital road. So I thought “Ok, I’m eating the chocolate snack(that I crave for since a year )that I have in my bag as soon as I get there” and walked like Addam’s Lurch towards Sky studio.

 

When I finally got there I met with Lucrezia, Sarah and some other people, we signed some stuff (a little bureaucracy was demanded but I’m cool if you picture us signing autographs ), got badges and got in. Of course, as we assumed, no one gave a fudge about our outfits. We left all our stuff to the wardrobe and I’m pretty proud to claim that I got the ticket number one for it. I’m practicing. We were told to drop water bottles, mobiles and similar things, they were pretty strict about it, they mentioned some ban, then they make it worse talking about being immediately shunned and I believe that at a certain point Guantanamo and death were implied. They made us wait about a hour and a half in a room and tried to cheer us up with some free R** B*ll cans. “No way I’m drinking that poison, it’s time to eat my super healthy chocolate snack”. Which was in my bag, which was guarded by a Smaug shaped guy who already said to me I was knackering him out when I asked for my bag to fetch my water. “Ok, I’m eating after the show”.

They eventually called for the usual group of recommended people and got them in, then it was our turn. We got blocked before getting in the hallway cause Mika was passing by right in that very moment. Well. He was a kind of running, actually, it made me uncomfortable like we were a kind of plague. I mean, I was very cool with him passing by. It felt like seeing someone normal you use to see now and then, I wouldn’t have tried to aim to hug his ankles to make him drop, sit on him and make him sign my journal.

When the guy disappeared into the studio we made it in and after having seeing his shoulders already twice in the previous shows, I finally managed to seat on the floor in the very front of him, at about four meters far. It is always interesting to see how a tv show is run, and I enjoyed to see the camera men and stuff. They asked the audience if somebody had they mobiles on (yes, the same mobiles which were supposed to rest in the wardrobe at that time) cause they were causing trouble to the recording gear and of course nobody had a mobile in his pocket. Then the show began and so does my radio silence cause we aren’t supposed to tell anything till tonight. I can’t even tell you what I felt in the process so I’m going to edit this report tomorrow, writing down all the missing parts. But I can say that when he came in, I felt no annoying excitement at all. I felt happy and greedy to enjoy him, but it still felt like I was seeing a super pleasant guy that I use to see now and then.

 

I suppose I can tell that he was the first guest (but I don’t know if he will be the first one to be broadcasted tonight), so I thought we simply wouldn’t have meet him, which was quite annoying cause I had some missions to accomplish. He did his stuff and immediately went backstage. Adieux.

So, one way or another we went through the whole show and it was finally ended. Cattelan, the showman, is a nice guy and stayed a while chatting and taking pics with some people who probably suddenly got their phones back from the wardrobe through a stargate, since they swore on their own mothers they weren’t taking any mobile in the studio. We could have chatted with him and with the band, the Street Clerks from the last XF, and with another person I’ll tell you tomorrow about, cause she was hanging out there, but I didn’t cause I have nothing to say to them. Someone did, they probably have more social skills than me.

So, we hanged out a bit over there, and then got out without any hurry. In every single report of mine there’s a part when I write I should always remember to have some faith, despite all odds are against me. So here we go. First of all, I got a latecoming confirmation so that I was able to go. Then, when we got out of the studios, we saw this crowd at the backdoor. Yup. He wasn’t gone yet!!!!

So we joined these other people and waited till he came over there. I was a woman on a mission, on a several missions in fact. And I was well trained. And no starstruck was choking me.

 

Outcome: I covered it all. You guys who put me on a mission, be aware that I did it. You’re welcome In the process I wasn’t able to chat with him, I already had too much to do and say to have a proper chat. Besides there was no ideal context. My impression is that he came, collected stuff from people and went away (he didn’t even signed things nor take pics, thank God!!!!!!!) . I don’t think it lasted more than three minutes, and I suspect it was even shorter. He didn’t chat a bit as he did after Le Invasioni Barbariche. Now. This impression of mine can be caused by:

- Me being so focused on my missions that I wasn’t able to perceive anything else, then after I said something to him I immediately moved away to let place for other mfcers.

- People not asking him anything worthy a chat (me included, I already had too much to handle for my first speaking time)

- Him really being too quick and not interested in chatting(apparently he always has a flight to catch immediately after )

maybe someone else could tell if anything more happened.

 

In every report there’s the faith moment and the regret one. Someone once said to me that regret is what keeps you motivated to take the next step and I believe that’s right. My regret this time was that at a certain point I was standing there, just a person on my left and no one on my right. I could have said anything, for a short moment I got his whole attention and I think that if only I had said something that barely made sense, he would have talked to me (cause I already said something to him a minute before from the back row and he did listen, but I don’t call it a proper chat). But I had one last mission to accomplish so I did it and he was gone. If anyone got something more, please feel free to tell me. The last time he apparently said something to me and I didn’t notice, so who knows.

 

So he was gone, time to eat!!!!! Nope. We stayed there to chat between some of us fans and I enjoyed very much. We stand there so much that even that Cattelan guy came out and sat alone on the stairs for someone to drive him back home or wherever. I don’t use to take pics with celebs, but I like him and it is nice to have a souvenir of this day, so we chatted a while (by “we” I mean that the other guys chatted and I just stood there as usual me. Make me write and I’m in. Make me talk and this is what you get) and take a group pic.

I suppose we are quite famous cause Aba from the last XF and her bf “Pucci” got in the pic with us. She took a pic with us. Not the contrary thing

So, it was done. Time to eat but no restaurant nor bars in the neighborhood. I then said bye to everybody and reached my car. It took me about 30 minutes before taking off my heels and starting to drive back home, cause some apocalyptic news already leaked and my mobile didn’t stop to ring with alarms (it felt so good to chat a bit, thank you guys for having written to me, I enjoyed to sit in my car starving and peeing in my pants in order to chat. I mean, really. No one made me, it was my choice cause I love to talk with you, I’m not ironic here ). Of course, I didn’t even eat my chocolate, I was too busy typing.

 

When I eventually left, I was so starving and felt so tired I wasn’t even able to follow Chiara’s indications properly so I got lost about a million times, cause of course she didn’t want me to use the nice orbital road. We drove instead downtown Milan again, but since this time I was beyond wrecked and kept on getting lost, we saw old fancy buildings and even some kind of monuments. At a certain point I ended up into the only taxi and tram road but I was too desperate to freak out or even to care. Let’s see if I’ll get a fine. By the way, I used the red traffic lights to catch up on Twitter madness even if I couldn’t reply (how short’s a red light when you have to read social networks). Here’s a pic which recap perfectly my road to (in green) and from (in blue) Sky studios. Of course, the purple one is the one I should have done.

 

 

A hour after I finally got into the highway and, after a 400 km drive and a 16 hours long no food crusade, I eat that freaking chocolate. It wasn’t even as awesome as I remembered it from my childhood.

 

I won’t talk about how I feel about apocalypse right now.

But I’ll talk about how I feel about me. I just got upgraded to version 2.3. First time I saw him huuuuuuuge starstruck. Second time starstruck. Third time little starstruck but managed to deliver little awesome biscuits. Fourth time no starstruck and eventually talked. And it’s not really about having an emotional breakdown over a quick meeting. It’s about me learning to drive around and don’t minding to get lost (or to have any food so far), and it’s about me not being intimidated by a crowd (work in progress) and ultimately it’s about me getting more and more confident. So, little-fan-growing -award for me. I’m dedicating this award to all the people who are training and coaching me, I love you, you are doing a great job, be prepared cause the road is so so so long, I still could use a little talkative skills and some other stuff.

 

Now. I still have my make up on. So what.

Ohhh...thank you Sylvie for your detailed and absorbing report

I wasn't able to be there but reading this I feel as I partook...

Mika, so proud of him. I'm sure he will play a magic, immortal musical performance

You are so WELCOME here:cheers:

So happy for you all that partook to the show. I totally agree with Dario Fo, Mika is a Real force of nature, he gives His energy to me when I feel weaken and tired of my situation. And I often reflect about I'm lucky to have met His Genius, he gives me the life I dream, an unbelievable enchantment!!!

Scusate il disturbo, ma è vera la notizia? Se sì, sarebbe straordinario organizzare un gruppo...è fattibile?

SOGNO...

=======================================================

RSVP thread is here: http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28621

And what did he answer you?

 

btw, I'm glad you could see Mika again

He agreed both with eyes and words...

The high-volume deafened me so it was quiet hard to understand...

It was a perfect day: I hadn't planned to go, and I wasn't very keen on meeting Mika in a huge shopping centre among hundreds of screaming fans,

when instead it turned out to be one of the best Mika experience ever in every sense

Actually nothing resounding happened, just many little nice things, everything went well

btw the event was very well organized, kudos to them!

and it was sooo lovely meeting Francesco and Elwendin for the first time and chatting to Allegra, Roberta, Lucrezia and others, I'll tell you more.

I have a couple of videos and I want to write a report for you and for me as well, I don't want to forget any details about this very special 'adventure'

 

Just a little preview: Robertina and I, we were interviewed by a lovely journalist at Il Corriere della Sera (local edition - Bergamo), who was writing an article about Mika to be out today, so we talked about Mika and mikafanclub.

Perfect report!!! I felt the same...

I'm so tired and sad of that Mika what are you doing?

People are totally going crazy!!! I can't stand it and I also said it to Mika...

Three! I see there is Francesco as well. Francesco, do you want to meet?

Yes!!! I hope to meet you

Hi Nicoletta! Welcome here and don’t worry about the age, if you feel like a teenager it is amazing, I’m a 21 handicapped boy but with Mika’s music I feel free! Be strong, X factor will finish soon, I can’t stand it too. I know all these new Mika freaks are so unbearable, but if only one of these persons will follow Mika after the conclusion of the X factor, I will consider it a great success.

Keep well and be happy here, I am a new member too but I feel at home
