Anyway,there's many artists out there doing promotion for all kind of stuff,and maybe not all of them are very pleased by doing it Life is a long succession of compromises.....

yes and talking about Mika, since he said that he wants to do his own promotion, not to be obliged by his record company, maybe he's trying every kind of promotion he can get to see which one is the most efficient and of course everything has a "price" to pay

I know everyone has different tastes and that's good but you should listen the version he did in US:wub2:

this live version is incredible, so touching and the black and white effect makes it even more emotional

I am glad that at least some find this ad funny and cool.

 

I think it is quite depressing honestly....let's hope this is the bottom and he does not surprise us with something even worse...

I appreciated him doing the ad, because I always smile everytime I watch TV but I agree with you, I hope he did it because of the contract with Sky and I also really hope it will be the last time doing this kind of stuff (I don't think he was at ease at all doing that) It's simply not for him, if he needs money I prefer something like the Swatch project or X Factor. Well, something related with his music would be the best

Hi Elena. I know I'm a bit late () but ... welcome at MFC.

 

ahah, thank you! late is better than never!

Don't hate it but is not my cup of tea: By the time

I like it but actually it's one of his songs I rarely listen to, I don't know why maybe it's because I always listen to the same songs XD

really interesting topic!

as far as I'm concerned, now I like all of his songs but in the beginning I didn't like Make you happy so much. After some listenings I started to love it and it's always been like this with some of his songs such as Over my shoulder as well, for me it was too strange but now it's one of my favourite!

thanks to everyone! it's really fun here!

I'm here because I cant recognize a song from Mika posted on the Mika's song remix. I've heard his songs hundreds and hundreds of times and now I'm not able to know what's that song. I feel a very bad fan

so I guess I should join this group too

thank you for the video! well, I've always thought he can't act so well, he's so funny!! and his Italian is so good! at least it's better than the "Immagina, puoi" from George Clooney

well it depends what kind of tree it is and how fresh it was when he got it... we got ours a week before xmas and it still hasn't lost a single needle. that's also why it's still there, don't want to throw out the poor tree if it still looks so good.

maybe it's a plastic one

Lo conoscevo naturalmente, ma in modo distratto (come accade spesso, purtroppo) e non avevo mai approfondito. Lo avevo percepito come un artista intelligente e interessante, ma un po' kich e molto poppettaro...un artista che si era costruito un "personaggio" a tavolino, con sapienza, furbizia e abilità. Quando l'ho sentito raccontarsi da Linus a Radio Deejay...in quel modo sincero e autentico...mi sono resa conto che qualcosa mi era sfuggito... Adesso sono qui, in piena fase bulimica, a spulciare il web per scovare tutte le sue performance. Spero di poterlo vedere live quando verrà in Italia in tour, penso proprio ne varrà la pena.

benvenuta!! appena puoi, vai ad un suo concerto!! molto meglio che in cd! non te ne pentirai ma attenta, causa dipendenza e assuefazione!

The video is on mediafire thanks to DerMoment (I hope you don't mind that I post it here)

I see that you are waiting for a report

 

So we came quite late (because of me ) at the theater so we could only have seats at the very front left, but that was still ok to watch the movie. Maggie could even take a few pics of the screen that you can find on Twitter (I think the one that Mikasister posted is one of her)

Fortunately Fanny Ardent (the director of the movie) was even more late than us, so we waited didn't miss anything. Actually I must say there was not so much to miss:

Fanny Ardent said a 2-3 lines speech thanking people to be here, then the movie started and we thought there would be something after it, like more talking with her or even that the main actors would come, but nothing That was actually a normal screening, I was disappointed. Not even Champagne at the end or buffet, even if we managed to go where we were not allowed to go I was still happy to be able to see a few French actors I like (Catherine Deneuve, Pascal Greggory), but no Mika of course

Then about the movie itself: it is exactly like the trailer, that is, not so good in my opinion. As I said before to comment the trailer, Fanny Ardent is an actress that I love, but the movie tries so hard to be artistic, "intellectual movie" that I often found it was becoming cliché. I don't know if I'm clear, anyhow it's only my opinion, I hope you will be able to watch it and to make your own opinion about it.

(if someone is interested I can explain more in details about the movie and/or my opinion about it, but I don't want to bother you:wink2:)

 

Now, most important: Lucio, aka Mika

He appears at the very end of the movie so keep awake until the end if you watch it

As we knew he is a piano player, who comes as "supportive player" (?) for the main actress (Asia Argento who plays a cello player) during a performance she gives for the inauguration of the hotel built by her lover.

Now spoiler as I explain exactly what he does and says

 

The 2 men who are main characters are talking about some problems they have, and Mika is behind them at the piano, waiting for the inauguration to start and that Asia's character comes. He is watching them and listening to them when they talk, and then ask "Alors elle va pas venir Margot?" (yes, he even talks!!!!! ) which means "so Margot will not come?" (Margot being the name of Asia Argento's character). The men don't answer him, they are lost in their own conversation having problems to solve. Then we see him on a video screen in the same room (that's a strange part of the movie, why is there a screen in that room? ) where they all are. Then Margot arrives, she plays, and we don't see Lucio anymore I think.

That's it. Around one minute or less.

 

 

My opinion about him in the movie. Spoiler too because it's negative and I don't want to spoil the pleasure for the ones who want to watch it

 

Honestly, his part was strange: I didn't understand why he was doing what he was doing and why he suddenly talked. Maybe it's because I was focused on him and maybe people won't even see he is there, but I find his cameo doesn't fit well to the movie's story. Ok, that's maybe because I think the movie's rythm is not good anyway

Mika himself looks absolutely not at ease in his part. I didn't think "oh, he plays well!" at all, we are very far away from his acting skills in Popular for example. What I thought was: ok, he is right, he doesn't feel well while acting. We could feel he was in stress (and that's what he says about this experiment if I correctly remember).

So, I would advise him not to continue on this path, as he obviously didn't like that, except for a movie he is directing himself or someone very close would be directing (). In that case I still think he would be wonderful :wub2:

 

 

Anyway I think it is good that he did that, he loves doing new experiments and this is an important one, to play in a movie

Well, that was what I was afraid of. From the trailer the movie looks like what you've described, but I'm curious to watch it though. And for what concerns Mika, he has always said that he's not such a good actor and maybe he is right (in my opinion even in Popular song he is not so brilliant as an actor) but as you've just said, it has surely been a good experience for him!

I've seen this picture with a French subtitle "Je t'avais dit de ne pas le toucher" which means "I had told you not to touch it (or him?)"

maybe it's the sentence HE says in the movie?

For those saying they hate Make You Happy, have you heard this?

OMG, this version is amazing! I like also the other versions but this one is

I admit that I like all his songs, but my favourite is Origin of love! I love its melody, the choirs make it so powerful and it takes you to another world! it gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it and the lyrics are the best love declaration ever written!
