Elwendin

I can help you if you want me to. I finally have some time out, today!

Ok, Mika starts from minute 9.40. I'll take the first five minutes, you can take the following 5, and I'll ask Laura to do the final 5. Is that ok?

PS the audio track has some gaps. We'll do our best.

I'm working on it right now, I'll post it what I get but I do advice you to watch the subtitled video as I can't really check on my work so there could be quite a few mnistakes

- How are you doing?

- I've been upt till 4.45 in studio

- Yes, he's working like crazy

- You are crazy!

- Oh boy

- Where? In London?

- No, yesterday night I was in Metropolis cause [...] and we said "Let's do a live version, to get out this year.... tonight. " So we took the mix of yesterday reharsal and it eventually wasn't that good, so I went [...] to record the live version for tonight in order to put in on I Tunes. So, if everything goes according to the plan... and it got elaborated during the night in Los Angeles, we were waiting like that...

- Back in the day you couldn't do such things. That's so cool.

- There are 47 voices

- 47 voices???

- even a gospel one. It's a new song

- ah!

- it's a little snippet, a preview of a song that's called Good Guys, which gets mixed with Happy ending

- beautiful!

- Cause we started with Happy Ending, they wanted me to sing [...] but let's do this little test.

- we can play one mroe track

- I can't wait!

- I can

- What a nice sweather

- They gave this to me. Unbelievable.

- What's that

- (Victoria's talking about a ferret that bit her hand and poohed on her)

- (Linus introducing Mika)

- In the meantime Mika has arrived. For the first time I see him with a five o'clock shadow, uncombed hair, and dressed like a guy who just got out of his home. Thank God! Cause every time you come here

- I'm in a pijamas

- Right! Every time you come here I get some "I'm bad dressed" complex

Here's the recording of the interview!

Remember, for now you can only download it... in 30/40mins you'll be able to watch in streaming

Who's willing to share the subtitling job?

he will sing together with a gospel choir and with the contestants, and he'll sing a bit of a song we already know (I think he might refer to BBB) and a part of a new song, and I think he said that they recorded this sort of medley and that it's gonna be available for purchase on iTunes (they'll donate all the money to UNICEF). I think I got it right!

So it's more about a snippet than a proper single, right now, isn't it?

I'll wait for the recording. I need to understand this

He promise to help the rapper Diluvio

Ugh. This is why I forgot.

He also explained in a video (Zedef Chronicles) that the stress does he to go so many times in the bathroom! ahahaha

I've seen him to ask for permission to reach the loo like a zilion times during the auditions. That makes sense now.

He just tweeted that he will have a contestant (Vivian) both as a backing singer and as a performer on stage with him in his tour. He was quite amazed but her rapping skills indeed.

I think it's nice of him to give her a chance. She wasn't even one of his own contestants. And he also promised someone else to help them with something (sorry, can't remember) because he own a label so he can call the shots. He's apparently willing to help rookies to have their chance.

It's official now!

From the press conference of X Factor, tomorrow night Mika will gave us a preview of his new album

.@mikasounds ci regalerà un’anteprima del nuovo album! Siete curiosi? #XF8

Posts from December the first:

I hope he will sing it in a XF live!

I was actually wondering about that. Morgan sang, Fedez sang, Victoria... , what about Mika? I don't think that the HE thingy counts.

It wouldn't be the usual scene for a single to be released, but I don't think a commercial is as well, so who knows.

Go us!

Fedez said in the daily show that this XF experience was really intense for him. Almost too much intense. He kind of implied that he won't be so eager to do it again.

Dunno exactly, it's like an episode that doesn't belong to series, something additional.

Oooh a bonus track

Congratulations Elwendin!

So close to your place!

Thank you!!!! It's a 2,5 hours drive, just a bit more than what it takes for me to go to Milan. Of course, I should consider either to buy the famous "vignette" which allow to use the highway. I actually hope to find some carsharing mates.

I already bought my ticket

Ps your PM box is full.....

Mika will perform at Estivale Open Air 2015 Festival,

Adress: Place Nova Friburgo,1470 Estavayer-le-Lac, Switzerland.

Tickets are already available

He wore another color one at the 2nd Live show XF8.

Kinda, except tie and collar are red

As I am on the voice topic, I have to confess that the thought of what he's gonna sing during Battles keeps coming in my mind. They are recorded in 10 days but they won't be on television before february, maybe even mars ...

Thank you both.

Indeed, you may listen to some new stuff..... like Staring At The Sun

It seems that costume designers put quite a lot of effort into make him stand out. If I was in the other judges' shoes, I would go WTF. It reminds me of those movies where two popular girls go to the prom wearing the same dress....

Mika got it easy.... Like his height wasn't enough ....

Anyway, I like this suit, but I have the feeling that I already saw it somewhere else.

Is it similar to the white one with the giant black flower on the side? I really loved that one.

I wanted to show you this one some days ago, but couldn't find the link. I suppose you've already seen it by now? https://amp.twimg.com/v/92eb1ab4-77cf-41a5-a8b9-234464c8e8f2

Wow! This is a silly story, and I just learned a new word in Italian. So Rita Pavone is actually Rita Peacock? Right?

Well I liked the acoustic guitar

I liked that as well.

I just can't imagine Mario with this song... Is that this one ?

 

 

I mean, I like this song but this is not really what Mario usually do.

It is, my bad for not having check on the correct title. He will sloooooowwww it down.

I hope he will sing it in a XF live!

Is it a part of Extra-factor you explained ?

Yup. Now I'm watching today daily, for once.

Heya by Outkast for Mario. I like that song when it has a certain rhythm... Mario's gonna kill the vibe

I finally managed to listen to it (super busy times at work). It's catchy for sure as I'm a moron when it comes to music but this one still got pretty easy in my mind, and it's pleasant to me.

And of course I can't tell much till I listen to the whole of it, but I have the feeling that it will end up like Step with me and Kids (and some more): ok, it's nice, let me listen to it a few times, but then I'm mostly skipping it when listen to the album.

Girls, here's my part of the Deejay interview! Gosh I've been so busy today, that I could only end it now!

Thank you! And here's the whole work

@mikasounds This week Life Lebanon foundation in London managed to raise £18000 for lunch with me and $1.3m throughout the night!! Incredible!Congrats!

No translation yet then?

Today you'll get it, we already did 2/3 of it

Morgan was so out of control that he picked on Mika as well and told him "we'll see after all this tv you did, how many albums you'll sell in UK!!!"

I need to watch the after show again cause I was distracted posting here, but my feeling is that Mika wasn't attacking at all Morgan, he was just eating his dinner and trying to say some words, but I can't be trusted cause I actually didn't hear the whole show

So now I'm wondering if Morgan is deep down referring to himself, who got too much involved in tv but isn't that much successful as a singer, or if he signed up on mfc months ago and is reading us
