ok. inizio. Arrivo fino a qui Mika: (ride) “ bellissimo!” Poi ci aggiorniamo.

se vuoi inizio io, stasera non ho una cippa da fare. Dove la trovo la trascrizione?

Scusate, ma è possibile scaricare in qualche modo questo video? Dal sito della Rai con i soliti programmi non riesco proprio....

Si' ma poi Mikuzzo nostro deve tirar fuori il grano. Ci deve pagare. Vedremo poi che prezzo stabilire....

qui c'è il momento del calzino bucato... http://www.rai.tv/dl/RaiTV/programmi/media/ContentItem-88042ac7-15f2-4f66-a6f8-275248deba98.html

Ready to fight.

comunque io non penso che mollerà la tv tanto facilmente, gli piace, lo pagano bene e gli arriva tanta popolarità...pero' non puo' neppure continuare a fare talent show a destra e a manca, alla fine diventerebbe ridicolo...ecco, magari qualche trasmissione diversa, che potesse gestire in autonomia e incastrare con il suo lavoro di musicista, potrebbe essere un'alternativa interessante...e una sfida stimolante anche per lui Sempre in Italia, ovviamente...

che bello sarebbe... Io spero tanto che quest'anno colga l'occasione della sua permanenza in Italia per XF8, per fare altre cose...qualche data a teatro sarebbe fantastico, abbiamo luoghi cosi' belli e pieni di storia...uno come lui non puo' non avere il desiderio di cantare in posti cosi'...speriamo!

Che bella questa cosa, sono impaziente di vederlo in questa nuova veste, ancora diversa. Finisce che prima o poi gli offrono una trasmissione in tv tutta sua...io ce lo vedo a parlare di musica, ma anche di attualità o altro. In Italia, ovviamente.... :mf_rosetinted: :teehee:

Ok. But who is Mika? Il Buono, il Brutto o il Cattivo? The Good the Bad or The Ugly??

Sorry, i read your post only now! :aah: I was bored, it's raining so much.....so I started to translate and then i posted. Next time, i'm sure it will be a sunny day and everyone will be to the seaside...:teehee:

This is the translation of one of the aticles. It is full of words jokes of Mika and Morgan not very simple to translate in english, I've done my best to give them a sense. http://www.rete-news.it/xfactor8-cronaca-delle-audizioni-bologna/ XFACTOR8: CHRONICLE OF BOLOGNA CASTINGS By amnerisdicesare We have just concluded, in Bologna, the first casting of the eighth edition of Xfactor Italy. A three-day, full of hot and blazing sun, under which a large audience (who preferred this opportunity to the classic "hit and run" tour towards the Adriatic Coast) has waited a long time to enter and see XF auditions in front of the 4 judges. This year, they are partly changed: instead of Simona Ventura, in fact, the judge is Victoria Cabello and instead of Elio there is Fedez, a young rapper of success. From the old judge team, remain: Morgan, now a Guinness World Record with 6 victories in this talent show and Mika, the international star revelation of last year's music program of SkyUno and now a "veteran", beloved by Italians. The triumphal entry of the four judges gave the start to recordings and selection of new talent. The initial atmosphere, though tempered by big smiles and mutual compliments, seemed slightly tense. Some hints of tension between Morgan and Fedez. In two speeches, Morgan hit the young and talented rapper with learned quotations which Fedez tried to fight back ...but on both occasions the frontman of Bluevertigo has put Fedez in the corner. The two men started a small debate on certain technical elements of rap, and this debate immediately puts the audience in front of the kind of level that this year they will see: even after that moment, many disquisitions on music and musical technique have involved all four judges who were immediately shown to be experienced and competent. Morgan immediately began to give "pearls" of wisdom and emblematic phrases: - The absolute universality that history gives us (Morgan) The show came alive and the new judges start to melt; the initial distrust has been replaced by funny jokes and great complicity between Mika and Morgan, almost cooing, who have started the show exchanging each others jokes and compliments and pats on the shoulder. Cabello and Fedez, maybe a little intimidated, at first accused a little shot, but more after they literally explode . In fact, some of the most beautiful quotes came from Fedez: - "You reminded me of my summer lemons ... I relived the metallic taste of the first orthodontic appliance that I kissed" -"According to me you're like Bruce Willis movies: before the explosion, you does not have a sense" - "You sang a song by Mia Martini: a great artist destroyed by men" - "You are a bit as a "cinepanettoni" movie [=a sort of B-movies] shot by Truffaut" - "I thought to come to judge... but tonight you have taught to me " - "There are more Americans tonight that in a donut shop" On the other hand, you can see Mika wonderful mastery of the Italian language and of its interpretation, sometimes very personal. He has performed, in fact, in some expressions, worthy of the now already famous and beloved "Mikabolario" [Mikabulary] - You have emotional intelligence - You have infected me (in the sense of thrilled, excited) -->in italian we say "contagiato" -->in mikalian we say "contagiuto" and some hilarious jokes between him and Morgan: Mika: We are here "to discover" ... -->in italian we say "per scoprire" -->in mikalian we say "per scopire" . But this nonsense-word could be confused with another italian word which means "to make sex" Morgan: ouch ouch Mika, we are in the equivocation ... Victoria Cabello seemed immediately to be tender and slight but also very determined not to remain in the shadows: she put her foot down, at one point, about a judgment (perhaps too hasty) about a competitor. She asked to listen to another song to decide, and manages to change the already negative opinion of Mika. Victoria, the Italo-British presenter (who, don't forget, has in her assets a kiss on the mouth with Orlando Bloom!) shows to have a charisma not explosive, not intrusive, but undeniably strong. Witty, subtle, almost detached, she conquests immediately the audience that applauds many times and in a blink of an eye, years and years of Simona Ventura conduction disappeared, thus revealing the excellent choice of the production of Xfactor and SkyUno . Fine performances of aspiring talents in this day. Noteworthy a boy with the guitar, Lorenzo, who sang a song by Domenico Modugno in an extraordinary way and after, he performed an unpublished song in English, written by himself, even more remarkable. He earned a spontaneous standing ovation from public and even from the judges, very very long. And an Italian-American beautiful girl, Jade, with the mother winner of Miss Universe, who sang Mia Martini in an incomparable way. Even for her standing ovation. Morgan at this point began to ask to the girl the phone number of her mother. Later, the catchphrase of "the phone number" will also affect Adèle, a friend and neighbor of Mika: Morgan to Mika: can you give me the phone number of Adèle? Mika: I can not even give you the number of my mother! And irresistible anecdotes of Mika's music stars friends, such as Beth Ditto. Just sang a beautiful tall girl with blonde long hair tied back in a ponytail. She's only 16 years old but she says singing since she was a child and that she had already won a talent show when she was only nine, a competition organized by Disney Channel. She sings - really good - Holy Cross, by Beth Ditto. At the end of her performance, however, she has neither convinced nor Mika nor Victoria Cabello. Victoria says that the girl is too self-confident, and that seems her thinking that the contest is already in her pocket. Mika things worse and says that: - she is the one that would be too easy to hate. Better not, for the moment and then he adds an anecdote about her friend Beth: Beth Ditto "had to sing at a festival before me. In the first song, the audience was cold, a few cheers. One of the audience throws to Beth a bottle full of piss. It hits her and she gets the whole dirty. Then Beth Ditto says, "Oh, my clothes are all dirty now!" and she takes them off, and still naked on stage, she continued singing until the end. Since then, the public was all for her! Perhaps the girl here, should do the same: get naked! " "Maybe in a few years, now better than no" Morgan says. A funny little show before and after the performance of a duo, with a Tuscan accent, charming for the sympathy, the verve, the easy-going and almost unconscious attitude. They enchant performing a Rino Gaetano original song and an unpublished song that makes the audience go into raptures. Obviously, the duo passed the turn and Mika commented: - They are "out like a balcony", they are "fuRRRbi [furbi=clever, crafty]! " Another nice moment with Victoria Cabello when a tall, charming and "piacione" man makes his entrance on stage. Victoria plays a bit 'with him...he looks very interesting...she discovers he is engaged twith a girl named Victoria, and she says to be confident he will make a nice performance. Unfortunately for him, however, the performance is less than mediocre and then Victoria says: - Cabello: Your performance wasn't enough "ficcante"! [=penetrating, incisive] ... - Morgan : But before he sang, you found him "friccante"![in the sense of exting] [words jokes about... ] Morgan replies between the general hilarity. Again on the stage the girl who last year was eight months pregnant and who had to withdraw to bootcamp because of her pregnancy. She performs and she does not convince the judges, but of the vote of Fedez allows her to go to bootcamp even this time. Here, Mika plays in one of his best mika-logism: Mika says: "You were here with your "incenza" "[this word does not exist in any language of the world, i think ] Cabello doesn not understand and asks: "Innocenza??" [= innocence] Mika: "No!!! Incenza!" Morgan:" Incenza! Incenza!!!!!" At that point, Cabello can not do nothing but confirm: "Yes, I understand. It's perfect. Incenza!" Translation Mikalian-Italian-English: Incenza = INCINTA[pregnant] + GRAVIDANZA [=pregnancy] a new Mika-logism between the italian words for PREGNANT and PREGNANCY :aah::aah: Other "Mika pearls " are: "You have the emotional intelligence" "You're a refreshing crudités" "You don't put "moRRRdente"[you don't put "bite" into your performance] "A "baeglia nello scuro" [=un ballo nella notte=a dance in the dark, in the night] and to a girl of 17 years old who has sung a song in a too didactic and educational way: "You have "disnificato" the song," Mika says Morgan asks for clarification: "Does it mean that she has removed the meaning from the song?" [the word "disnificato" does not exist, but Morgan thinks that Mika was trying to say "remove the meaning", [significato=meaning :-: dis-nificato could be an attempt to say "to remove the meaning"] But Mika explains: "No!! She has transformed the song in a Disney song!" "Disney-ficato!!" Here Morgan pearls: "The universality that history gives us" "Ignorance leads to nothing" "Look, Mika. You can write 'pissed' in this way!" "Songbird bipolar disorder, musical schizophrenia" "I understand the hint, whenever it comes to be assh*les, everyone passed the ball to me!" Here Fedez pearls (true revelation of this issue!) "You reminded me of my summer lemons ... I relived the metallic taste of the first orthodontic appliance that I have kissed" "According to me you're like Bruce Willis movies: before the explosion, you does not have sense" "You sang a song by Mia Martini, a great artist destroyed by men" "You are a bit as a "cinepanettoni" movie [=a sort of B-movie], shot by Truffaut" "I thought to come to judge... but you have taught to me tonight" "There are more Americans tonight that in a donut shop" "With Lucio Dalla [very famous songwriter from Bologna], here in Bologna, you brought a love song in the house of Cupid" Victoria Cabello instead says: "You are not always "intonatissimo" (referring to Morgan) [=you're not always in tune] "Even here in Xfactor we have our sister" (referring to the American competitor who has just sung and Mika recalled Sister Act) ______ The second day started with an emotion: in the hall a group of kids in the audience, dressed in a blue shirt with white lettering, exhibits a billboard that read "Dyslexic Generation". Mika turns himself, he shows pleasantly surprised, points them and says, "I am dyslexic too!!" In another time, Mika fills the hearts of everyone saying, in a very lively debate among the judges of a competitor: - I'm not stupid, I'm just slow! thereby giving to all the dyslexics and dysgraphics of Italy a smile and a tear of emotion. Another anecdote about an international star that Mika knows very well: Lady Gaga. Just entered a singer from Lecce, dressed in a very original way - skinny jeans, boots, t-shirt cut on the sides with a belt at the waist and hood pulled over his face. He says that his "look inspiration" is from Assassin's Creed, the famous videogame, but the judges say he's more just like Lady Gaga. They begin to nickname him "Lord Gaga" for that affinity with the eccentric American singer. Mika says Lady Gaga began his career singing and recording more or less with him. One day, Lady Gaga was called by Mika's label for an audition. They were looking for a singer performing before him at his concerts. Lady Gaga arrived, dressed in an original way as his custom was, and sit at the piano. From a bag, she pulled out an object that emitted smoke and a small ball rotating mirror type as in the 70's clubs. After setting in motion also the rotating ball, she begun to sing. "At the piano", says Mika," Lady Gaga is unbeatable. And her performance was extremely nice. " Then Mika commented, very disappointed: "but that "cogl..."[=assh*le] did not employed her!" . P.S.: Lord Gaga has not passed. But "the yes" of Fedez has started a discussion between him and Morgan, which led to an unexpected break on the roadmap of the recordings.... Another surprise, the "Willy Willy Willy Girl": theyhave performed last year in front of Mika, who kicked off to the catchphrase of the network "WillyWillyWilly". This year they were able to show the judges the job done and how much they have improved since last year. Another moment of great media frenzy when a "character" dressed in a white fur has appeared on the stage in a performance that left the judges puzzled. Soon after, the aforementioned character began to insult the judges, making Morgan a little angry: he asked him why he was on that stage??!. After the negative vote of the all four judges, the exalted figure has gone away screaming that he did not wanted to be judged by an idiot dressed as a waiter (referring to Mika). Mika replied: - Italians waiters are the most stylish in the world...so if you say to me "waiter", it's okay! (Mika) And then, for fun and for fun, Mika is directed on stage. He pretended to be a shy competitor, inexperienced and very embarrassed. At the request of the judges to present "his song", Mika sang "a cappella" his Happy Ending. His legendary falsetto voice was high towards the sky, the audience was literally into raptures and almost they brought down the sports hall with applause and standing ovations and encores. ____ The third day of castings has been full of professionalism and attention to the aspiring talent who have gradually come and gone on the stage. Mika said he was very impressed by the song of Irene Grandi, , sang as a cover piece by a contestant and he asked for the translation. After memorizing the chorus of the song, Mika has sung it several times, adding it to the similar "Boum Boum Boum" of his new single, released in these days. He said he was pleased because both songs are about, though in a different way, of love and romance.

I understand: "ho fatto un provino per una boyband", "I did an audition for a boyband" :teehee:

Ossignur. Li vedo già sul palco a rappare insieme. Uno che canta perepequaqua, l'altro che fa boumboumboum il rap è già bello e pronto.... :aah:

It seems to me that Mika said in one of the last interviews that he was inspired for this single by Charles Aznavour...is it right or i made a dream? If it's true, do you know in wich way?

Wow. Le Figaro! :thumb_yello:

Again, this choice seems to me the imagine of his desire to show himself as he is. He is a citizen of the world, he speaks many languages, he belongs to so many cultures. All of this, for me, has to appear in his works because it is an important part of his artistic identity. If someone does not like it, patience. At this point in his career it seems to me much more important for him not to get away from himself, because he can find new ideas for feeding a long and satisfying career only in his original artistic world, which distinguishes him from other artists. In a long period, this is more important than being "international" or than satisfying the taste of all his fans.

"I did lots of collaborations and this time it's me." " And the songs in French that were bonuses in the last album this time will be part of it including Boum boum boum, even in the American release with the songs in English. Because that is part of my identity , so that's being honest." These words are intense and full of meaning for me ... I can read in them the desire of Mika to represent himself in a really honest and true record....and perhaps the acknowledgment that the previous album was not completely sincere. As a fan, I could not wish for more, an album that represents the artistic world of the artist that I love.

A little more seriously.. I think that with this single Mika took his risks. It is true that the melody is very catchy, but the text, so explicit, it could be criticized or misunderstood . I Mean.. it does not seems to me an easy choice to sell more.... but a sincere and True song.

The clip??

:huglove:

I like this song so much! The rithm is amazing And the text is pure Joy! The joy of screaming The love of your Life! Great Mika!

Oh my god so Sweet.. .
