Only time will tell. I'd like him NOT to make new music if he doesn't feel like to, or hasn't found the right inspiration. I don't need new music just for the sake of it. Nonetheless, I hope he'll find the inspiration to make something artistically valuable...not only ads for cash. Or talent shows. Kachinga was fun only in GK!

you're absolutely right! I would like the album to be released as soon as possible but I also don't want it to be not so good as it could be with just a little more time, so maybe I prefer to wait. In fact yesterday he said it took him one and a half year to prepare Underwater which is one of his best songs! and I agree with the "ad" topic as well.

feel still so emotional after watching what happened last night. Can't even imagine how special this is for you Italian fans. Somehow I was really touched by what happened in the show, by the contact between Mika and Dario Fo and by emotions I could read from his face when he was talking or watching the X Factor clips and it all reminded me of what kind of intelligent, understanding person he is and I'm so happy to see he can finally show that to the whole world (first to Italy, soon France and hopefully to everywhere).

I hope other countries will have the chance to have this kind of interviews, because it shows how he really is and it's something you can't easily forget

the host asked him if he would hang it in the bathroom and he said he never keeps his awards/platinum records at his place but he gives them to his mother

Is that baby the next surprise for Mika?

ahah! the other surprise was the platinum record for Songbook

Did you just see him with Dario Fo? Seriously Who cares about a little ad here or there.

I did, I did and I realize I can't stop loving him and it won't be a stupid ad to stop me

I can't believe what I've seen! Wonderful!

 

For me it is incredibile that a column of the Italian culture as Dario Fo, a nobel prize for literature, knows Mika and his songs and declares of being his fan.

And is also incredibile that Mika knows Dario Fo, his wife Franca Rame and their work, so difficult to understand for a foreigner because it's often in dialect. Mika, another time, has shown his intelligence, his culture and his deep respect for the country in which is. And his great sensibility, in his eyes and in the way he was watching the old Dario.

Franco who sings The Origin of Love!

And Mika who sings in the dialect spoken in Milan, "Ho visto un re"( I've seen a king), the most famous and original song of Dario.

For an italian this will remain an unforgettable moment. Believe in me

I can't add anything else, I agree with everything you said. It was a magical moment, I'm speechless

Is it finished already??? And Underwater?

no, there will be a second part later with Underwater and the interview!

I think it's better than the Sky/Fastweb ad, he doesn't look that stupid in this one (can I say? sorry...) and there is Stardust in background... and I agree with you, please Mika, come back to music

I totally agree, in the beginning that ad was funny but then I realized he looks a bit ridiculous and now I feel a little embarassed when I watch it. This one is good, but I have the feeling he has nothing to do with the ad and he is there just to appear, I don't know how to explain it. I hope all this stuff will lead to something great about his music.

Is the idea that she loses sight of her husband in the crowd, then thinks he's the one playing piano, but then finds out it's Mika, who by coincidence is dressed exactly like her husband?

 

So, what is he selling?

he's not her husband

3 is a company for mobile phone service

How much time left???

 

Btw, I'm seeing a news program, am I on the right place???

it starts in about an hour and now the news program is on

Does this ship has anything to do with underwater??

I don't think so, it's the scenography of the show as it represents the "barbarian invasions"

I can't wait to watch it, especially now that we know he's singing Underwater!! have fun watching him live, I'll enjoy the show on tv! I'm so excited!!

totally better than the previous one! at least he is singing and playing the piano, oh well...at least he is pretending to do it! and he doesn't talk that much

From Facebook-"We have a pretty good competition coming up in the next few weeks.... Get your drawing pencils and paints out, that's all we're saying for now... " omg cant wait.. will you be on it?

I will!!! I can't wait too! well, actually I remember that the doodle competition was in January last year

great work!!! I like its graphic!

wow, nice!!!

I would like it with simple arrangements which highlight and don't cover his voice, not acoustic ones necessarily, maybe a mix of his previous albums. I really hope there will be Hia Leah, Century man and Ma Jeunesse, I love them! and it would be great if he made 2 CDs and he put some of his unreleased songs!

I prefer 100% "The voice" to XFactor.

 

I watched XF in UK & USA & never liked it. I've watched The Voice in USA & Quebec and liked the show's format. So i am interested in the France "The Voice"

 

 

And it's the first time i hear that Quebec French isn't french... it's like saying mexicans don't speak spanish or Americans don't speak English.

It may sound different, but it is still the same language

in my opinion for example, the Italian version of The Voice is much worse than the French one which I've really liked it! so for what concerns my country I totally prefer X Factor than The Voice, but actually if I had to compare the French The Voice and XF Italy, I would be uncertain. I've seen all the seasons of XF Italy and only one episode of The Voice France so I want to wait before giving a precise opinion

Garou's French sounds difficult to understand also for me , but it's because at school I've always listened to French from France

Esatto, criticabili scelte o meno, almeno abbiamo la fortuna di sapere che lui non tradirà mai i suoi valori e obiettivi per diventare un prodotto musicale commerciale qualunque. E poi, oltre al managment, lui stesso è intelligente abbastanza da capire cosa gli nuoccia o meno, e se accetta di fare qualcosa, anche se magari lo vediamo impacciato o a disagio (vedi ad Sky/Fastweb), abbiamo la certezza che lo fa consapevolmente, sarebbe lui il primo a tirarsi indietro se una cosa non lo soddisfa (come infatti i meccanismi discografici). Perciò le critiche che a volte leggo sul fatto che lasci da parte la sua musica reggono fino a un certo punto perché tutto quello che fa lo fa proprio in funzione della sua musica, perciò keep the faith!

 

Sono certa del fatto che ne sia consapevole e pure che non sia stato costretto, ha detto che vuole essere libero in tutti i sensi. Sono anche convinta che stia facendo tutto questo in funzione della sua musica, solo che a volte i mezzi per raggiungere questo nobile fine possono essere un po' discutibili, ma voglio essere fiduciosa perché so che non mi deluderà almeno dal punto di vista musicale

Enjoy!

thank you so much!!!

thank you!! today I've watched some videos of the show on youtube and I totally agree with what is written in the article

I'm Italian, i detest Stardust with Chiara, I don't like how Mika is managing his career even if he needs to find money. I'm desperate for new music and I don't like all his side projects. I will accept them only when I actually see and listen to new music. But I still love him...because I do, and I cannot forget 7 years of reciprocal love and affection. So in the meantime I feel as Christine and many others feel....thus not being in opposition to the Italians (or French) but waiting deluded in a corner.

 

Believe me....what we lived and hoped in 2007 and later was totally different from what we are experiencing in the last two years. We simply cannot be happy with the smell when we actually had a roast under our teeth. They just took it off before we could taste it in full.

And having less economical means does not necessarily leads to lower one's standards so much.

I partially agree with you, I mean, it was ok when he wanted to try something else such as X Factor but I think he shouldn't follow that path even though it could be very advantageous economically speaking.

I totally agree with your last sentence!

LURVED the outfit

 

but I'm the only one who gets pissed off with people who post pics with so many hashtags???

you're not the only one!

I'm really worried about him if he's really doing another ad
