Ok.I post this here, too. So I liked the concert!Especially Underwater was amazing and I also liked his words after Love Today: the honest admission he was out of breath because he had done too much television and not concerts with f..k at the end and the sincere exclamation of how much he missed doing concerts/gigs. There was only one thing that I don't really liked (but obviously he can do what he wants of his songs.It's just that I prefer some of the songs, one in particular, for its meaning, in the original version).Apart from that all very positive.

http://www.afp.com/en/news/stars-mobilise-abducted-nigeria-girls-cannes-red-carpet Stars mobilise for abducted Nigeria girls on Cannes red carpet Mexican film star Salma Hayek and French actress Julie Gayet branded signs saying #BringBackOurGirls on Cannes' red carpet Saturday, joining global calls to free 223 schoolgirls kidnapped by Islamist militants in Nigeria. Hayek and Gayet posed with the signs for a long time before climbing up the steps to the festival hall in the French Riviera resort. They are the first stars at the Cannes Film Festival to publicly take a stand for the schoolgirls using the now world-famous hashtag on Twitter also promoted by US First Lady Michelle Obama earlier this month. Islamist group Boko Haram abducted 276 girls in restive northern Nigeria on April 14, and while some subsequently escaped, 223 are still missing. The kidnapping sparked global outrage and the girls' fate has since become the focus of a global campaign. And the other woman with Julie Gayet is the director Lisa Azuelos, which in turn showed to the audience the appeal in favor of the young kidnapped. There is another connection between the two actresses: http://www.kingsroad.it/?p=11979 The Festival de Cannes has decided to dedicate a special screening for a tribute to animated films, by being the venue for the first images of Kahlil Ghibran’s The Prophet, produced by the actress Salma Hayek who will be here to host the evening. The film directors, Roger Allers, Gaëtan and Paul Brizzi, Joan C. Gratz, Mohammed Saeed Harib, Tomm Moore, Nina Paley, Bill Plympton, Joann Sfar and Michal Socha, all great stars in the world of animation, will explain their participation in the film by showing extracts and poems which illustrate the film. The screening will be held in the presence of many guests, including Salma Hayek, who also plays one of the voices in the film, and Julie Gayet who will read extracts from Kahlil Ghibran’s text

Julie Gayet is a French film actress and film producer and she is/was President Francois Hollande's alleged lover.But now it seems their relationship to be over by her. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Gayet

Thanks a lot for your report, Anne!

You are welcome!

Here the translation: http://www.ilmattino.it/NAPOLI/CRONACA/concerto-napoli-nutella-piazza-plebiscito-mika/notizie/675762.shtml Naples, ok to the concert of Nutella. Mika to "Mattino" (the Morning):«Piazza Plebiscito,I'm coming!» The man who will reopen Piazza del Plebiscito to the music («but it's a paradox that Bruce Springsteen could pass as the one who has closed it») is in Paris, where he is recording his new album.He interrupts the session to talk about his participation, on May 18, at the feast of Naples for 50 years of Nutella: has just came the news of peace - that looks like an armed truce - with superintendence. The concert can be done, Mika. «Good. I know little about the issue, I was informed of the problems encountered, I can't go into the contents of the matter, but I can say some things about it». Please. «I come to Naples, a city of art and culture with respect and emotion, with responsibility and pride of who knows that will perform in the parlor of the city, in the past granted to popes, rock stars and political leaders and more recently denied.But I come to Naples with the awareness that famous monuments such as the Eiffel Tower, turned (/were transformed) to my child's eyes when I lived them as a frame of a show dear to me.I don't want, we don't want to take anything away from the history and art of Naples, but add joy, fun, my voice, my songs». Let's talk about the show, then. How will it be? «It's not my show, and, given the setlist/schedule that includes other guests, among which is Arisa, that I love and I'm glad to find her again, I will perform for just 75 minutes, trying to concentrate the best of my will/desire to perform». http://www.ilmattino.it/SPETTACOLI/MUSICA/mika-piazza-plebiscito-federico-vacalebre-nutella-arisa-x-factor/notizie/680595.shtml Mika ready for Piazza del Plebiscito: «An honor and (a) pride» The pop star tells the projects for the concert in Naples: "Joy and music add to the monuments, don't take away/detract" The first part is the same of the article above.This is the other part: Will you prepare something special for Naples? «Yes and no. No, because I'll be true to myself. Yes, because the energy that will come back to me, the vibrations of the Piazza del Plebiscito, will make the difference. This will be my only summer concert, thank you of the invitation and I hope it will become outstanding for the audience as it already is for me». You don't know Naples, but you have been to Positano. «Sure, and I've realized how many different Italie (Italys or Italies) exist.For work I tended to confuse Italy with Milan and Rome, but a summer trip has allowed me to go through all the Boot in the car and I realized that there are important differences, of climate, of food, of warmth.I wanted to give me a vacation by car from London and to stop where I wanted, had to be a few days with four people, have become four weeks with 24 people, including family and friends, with a caravan of cars.We left London on the route by Switzerland, we stopped in Santo Stefano Belbo, in Tuscany and then to Positano: here, in a small hotel, I enjoyed the best days of the past ten years.The sea, the cooking/cuisine, but also the warmth/welcoming of the people: in Switzerland when they saw our parade of cars closed the windows, you did not even noticed (/give any attention to) what we were doing.My roots Lebanese have made me feel at home. At a party there was also a group that has given us a concert of Neapolitan songs: beautiful, but I was at a party, I can not remember what». Let's talk about the album you're recording in Paris, the fourth of your career after "Life in Cartoon Motion" (the dazzling debut in 2007 with the superhit "Grace Kelly"), "The Boy who knew too much" (2009) and "the Origin of Love "(2012), not to mention the anthology last year's" Songbook vol. 1 ". «We are focusing on the single, but the entire album is ready. I wrote it in my own way, in one go/on the spot, free from any conditioning (influence/bias) now begins the most difficult one in which I have to share with others my project, accept or reject suggestions or compromises, deal with showbusiness». Ready for the new round of 'X-Factor Italy'? «Sure. Even in TV the initial is the most exciting phase: the competitors do the program/show. If you find good (competitors) you'll go strong, otherwise ...Here, I had done television, but before the talent show for Sky I had never got my hands dirty. When they have proposed it to me I have taken them for fools, but I realized that they were serious and I quickly said yes.In a language I didn't know, in a country that I love a lot and I know little... it was just perfect to force me to be myself.I did it and I do/did not regret it and if I've done other tv, "The voice of France" for example, it was because I had already broken the ice.And so, even compared to the record companies, I am free to follow my creative intuition».

Don't worry.I think that in the end of this controversy, unless there are big complications or surprises, the concert there will be (I hope so, at least!). But this is an example of politics and bureaucracy in Italy.Even the shopkeepers of Plebiscito square are angry with this Superintendent!But he will say yes, you'll see!

The rest of the translation: NAPOLI - «The green light will come when we will receive the documentation that will explain in more detail what the City and the organization intend to do, that is for the concert as for the whole». It was stated by the Superintendent for Architectural Heritage of Naples Giorgio Cozzolino reopening the controversy with the City of Naples on the organization of the event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Nutella with attached/annexed Mika concert."The ok to the event there is not yet - Cozzolino said on the sidelines of the ceremony for the honorary citizenship to Servillo -. We received from the City an envelope of a few pages with a list of incomprehensible measures and graphics where it was said of a series of events and not all are adequate to Piazza Plebiscito».The Superintendency is, therefore, expected that/waiting for the City sends a «new documentation». «At a time when - adds Cozzolino - they present a more in-depth documentation, we will evaluate it and (we) will do our observations». In the meeting that took place last Monday between the regional director of the Cultural Heritage Angelini and the councilor for urban policies of the City Piscopo, Cozzolino explained that have been «clarified the need to be able to arrive at the result/outcome.We - he continued - are technicians and we must have the proper documentation.I spoke yesterday with the municipal offices - said the superintendent - and they told me they will present the documentation in the next few days». To the City of Naples say they are «appalled» by the statements of the Superintendent Giorgio Cozzolino who actually have reopened the controversy with the City of Naples on the organization of the event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Nutella with adjoining concert by Mika.«Now, the only goal should be to strive for an event that the city awaits.Especially shocked/appalled because these statements appear to be contrary to the spirit of cooperation required by the institutional role of the two institutions.Also appear out of context especially if put in relation with the meeting on Monday between the Director and the Regional Angelini city councilor Piscopo, following also the statements by the Minister Franceschini », continue from St James's Palace.«The additional documentation to which the Superintendent Cozzolino refers to is the one that was decided to hand after the meeting on Monday, so it is a supplement recently requested.Since February began informal dialogue about the event and decided to understanding that the detailed design would be delivered later, dealing with the Superintendent on the basis of a spirit of cooperation, to take account of its indications.Piscopo in fact met in months, the Superintendent, as the organizers have brought forth a constant dialogue with the Office of the Superintendent.Therefore, the Superintendent was updated on the project either by the municipality that the organizers.Coming to the documentation: April 15 was sent an envelope containing detailed technical specifications and even the name of the artist primarily involved, namely Mika.So much so that the discussion was limited to the type of writing to be included in the manifest and the characterization of the initiative, which was then chosen to define the terms of trade with non-availability of the organizers to not sell any product and give everything for free» conclude the City. 30 aprile 2014 Benvenuti in Italia! Welcome to Italy!

La replica del Comune: «Siamo allibiti» Il concerto di Mika in occasione della festa-Nutella è ancora in dubbio NAPOLI - «Il via libera arriverà quando riceveremo la documentazione in cui si spiegherà in modo più articolato quello che il Comune e l'organizzazione intendono fare, vale per il concerto come per tutto». Lo ha detto il Soprintendente per i Beni Architettonici di Napoli Giorgio Cozzolino riaprendo la querelle con il Comune di Napoli in merito all'organizzazione della manifestazione per i festeggiamenti per i 50 anni di Nutella con annesso concerto di Mika. «L'ok alla manifestazione non c'è ancora - ha detto Cozzolino, a margine della cerimonia per la cittadinanza onoraria a Servillo -. Abbiamo ricevuto dal Comune un plico di poche pagine con un elenco di misure e di grafici incomprensibili dove si diceva di una serie di manifestazioni e non tutte sono adeguate a piazza Plebiscito». La Soprintendenza è, dunque, in attesa che il Comune invii una «nuova documentazione». «Nel momento in cui - aggiunge Cozzolino - presenteranno una documentazione più approfondita, la valuteremo e faremo le nostre osservazioni». Nell'incontro che si è svolto lunedì scorso tra il direttore regionale dei Beni culturali Angelini e l'assessore alle politiche urbane del Comune Piscopo, Cozzolino ha spiegato che sono state «chiarite le necessità per poter approdare all'esito. Noi - ha proseguito - siamo dei tecnici e dobbiamo avere la documentazione adeguata. Ho parlato ieri con gli uffici dell'amministrazione comunale - ha proseguito il soprintendente - e mi hanno detto che presenteranno la documentazione nei prossimi giorni». Al Comune di Napoli si dicono «allibiti» dalle dichiarazioni del Sovrintendente Giorgio Cozzolino che hanno di fatto hanno riaperto la querelle con il Comune di Napoli in merito all'organizzazione della manifestazione per i festeggiamenti per i 50 anni di Nutella con annesso concerto di Mika «Adesso, l'unico obiettivo dovrebbe essere quello di impegnarsi per un evento che la città attende. Allibiti soprattutto perché queste dichiarazioni appaiono contrarie allo spirito di collaborazione istituzionale richiesto dal ruolo delle due istituzioni. Appaiono anche decontestualizzate soprattutto se messe in relazione con l'incontro di lunedì tra il direttore Regionale Angelini e l'assessore comunale Piscopo, a seguito anche delle dichiarazioni dello stesso ministro Franceschini», proseguono da Palazzo San Giacomo. «La documentazione integrativa a cui il Sovrintendente Cozzolino fa riferimento è quella che si è deciso di consegnare dopo l'incontro di lunedì, dunque si tratta di un supplemento recentemente richiesto. Da febbraio è iniziata interlocuzione informale in merito all'evento, decidendo di intesa che si sarebbe consegnato successivamente il progetto dettagliato, confrontandosi con la Sovrintendenza proprio sulla base di uno spirito di collaborazione, per tener conto delle sue indicazioni. Piscopo infatti ha incontrato, nei mesi, il Sovrintendente, come gli stessi organizzatori hanno portato avanti una interlocuzione costante con gli uffici della Sovrintendenza. Dunque la Sovrintendenza era aggiornata sul progetto sia da parte del Comune che degli organizzatori. Venendo alla documentazione: il 15 aprile è stato inviato un plico contenente schede tecniche dettagliate e perfino il nome dell'artista principalmente coinvolto, cioè Mika. Tanto è vero che la discussione era limitata alla tipologia di scritta da inserire nel manifesto e dalla caratterizzazione dell'iniziativa, che poi si è scelto di definire nei termini di non commerciale con la disponibilità degli organizzatori a non vendere alcun prodotto e concedere tutto gratuitamente», concludono al Comune. 30 aprile 2014 Translation: Controversy REOPENED Nutella-Mika, the superintendent 'freezes' the City: the green light is not there yet Cozzolino, «The green light will come when we will receive documentation with articulated explanations of what they want to do». The replica of the City: «We are appalled» Mika's concert on the occasion of the feast-Nutella is still in doubt.

"Public" is absolutely not credible. Until now they have said a bunch of rubbish about Mika. Jenifer's manager had said some time ago that any decision on the renewal of contract would be taken by her and the other judges/coachs only after the end of the program.So it's better to wait and see.

Thank you very much!

Yes, I thought it was so But do you remember when he said it? I have seen almost all of last saturday show, but I have not heard it.

I read somewhere that Mika said to Garou "ta gueule" (I don't know if in the live show or in La Suite). Is it true?

Is there anyone kind enough to tell me what they say (even if it's in French is fine) in La Suite (http://www.mikawebsite.com/): Mika at 15:21, Frero Delavega from 15:48 to 15:55 and Caroline at 16:28, please? Thank you in advance!

I agree with you And thanks a lot Anne!!

Can anyone translate the parts where there is Mika's Team from 99:14, if it's possible, but especially the parts of La Suite from 01:24 to 06:11 and from 13:10 to 18:05 (http://www.mikawebsite.com/video-the-voice-prime-n15-the-voice-suite-episode-n15/), please? Or at least what they say in French (it is easier to translate from written French , while when you listen you can never understand all the words)? The part of the circus was very funny!!

You are welcome!

It's here (thanks a lot to Ysa!): https://vimeo.com/92495043

No, I had only read about the paparazzi outside his home in London. You're right, we'll see when the interview comes out.

Sorry, I did not find it. Recently I did the cleaning on my pc and almost all chronology has been deleted. It was on a blog (which I found by chance while I was looking for something else), where there was a collection of articles about The Voice. I think it was a scan of a paper magazine, it was a nice article, just saying that unlike his image of colorful and effervescent showman from the tv or his stage performances, in his private life he is tranquil and reserved, but recently his privacy was disrupted.I’ll try to search it again, but I’m not sure to find it again. About Telestar, you all are right, it's better to wait the real article/interview, even if , - and I say this without any desire to polemic or controversy, but just what I understood, but of course I may be very wrong - what is written there does not seem the same as what Mika's said previously in other interviews, in my opinion.Clarifications more than anything else, and small additions (moreover sensible and reasonable).But in the anticipation and cover no paparazzi photos.It says that it's an interview given by him to the magazine, so if it isn't true they are very dishonest.So we'll wait and see. I think if this was his decision maybe it was to rid those "vultures" of them , agreeing to an interview if they left him alone and his partner.But there are other vultures, obviously.Just an hypothesis
