The one time we had a song in Czech, we finished last with only 1 point (in the semifinal). Since then nobody wants a Czech song because of that, that's the reality. We always had the best results with English songs. 

I understand , but at on the other hand , it doesn't look like this strategy worked for Germany or Belgium for exemple.

On the other hand Spain , Italy , Serbia or Netherland had a pretty good ranking with their own language . And Ukrain as well , even if their situation was special

For me the ranking of France doesn't result from the language's choice but because the song was not good enough . 

Happy for Ukraine , just hope now that they will be able to host the competition next year.

I liked the Portugal and Netherland girls as well . Didn't like the Spanish one at all .

Serbia was interresting .

I felt a bit desappointed that so many countries had an English song....except GB and Australia of course

For me it doesn't make sense

Yes, I guess it is "be will be" -- I originally heard "we will be" but listening again I do hear BE.

 

And you know before the lyric video came out, I was listening over and over and thought I heard "repeat" now and then, but couldn't be sure. Glad the lyric video confirmed that.

Talking about the lyric video ......it's strange because I understand "shake my heart like a yoyo" and the way he says "treat" is not the same here than latter when he says "treat me like a yoyo " 

At least with the "ta da da" lines I don't need any explainations

I registered (as Jojo) but had no time to join , sorry about that .

I'll try tomorrow but can't be sure 

Mika denies the "Star academy" news there :

Much reliable than "voici" imo

Mika en interview : "L'Eurovision est un symbole fort pour faire rayonner la paix" (chartsinfrance.net)

@TinyLove_CJ (or anybody else) , do you need a copy ?

"Voici" is kinda s... paper. 

Basicaly able to make an article out of nothing

I really like it, love the beat. I could instantly dance to it and get lost in the flow of the music.
(Would be so perfect on my running playlist!)
 

 

I participated to a 6km run for charity today and can confirm that it's a perfect song for that kind of exercise

What's this? It's no Mika interview. Did a fan win tickets or something?

It's an old advertising for the concert.

The woman who is speaking seems to be the one who organised the concert and tried to have mika for a while

If there are direct flights available, that's even better! Would you mind if I DM you for more infos?  

No problem

It looks like the "organ paintings" on Mika suit have gone.

I made screenshots of one of videos and you can see only "veins" 

 

 

 

 

Maybe some people got sick after seing his guts so closely

I still need to see the different flights available but ideally, yes! Are you flying from Luxembourg?

I've checked several options , but as there is a direct flight from Luxembourg I think it'd be the most convenient .

(Tbh , I'm afraid we may have some strikes on French transportations this fall......)

My days off have been approved this afternoon so I will be at the 2 shows in Rome! I'm booking my flight this weekend and will start looking for hotels in the area  

 

It will be my first time in Italy and I'm super excited to visit and see these Mika shows 

Are you fliying from Luxembourg ?

"stuck in the middle" was played at a changeover during a tennis match in Madrid today. 

For those who are interested in tennis, the players are Maria Sakkari (Gr) and Madison Keys (USA) 

Can't tell you the result, it's not finished.... (1set all)

Passports used to be valid for ten years for one person only and five years if you added your children on them. But now that's five years for one person. I had one when I was 18 as I spent a year in Oklahoma and got another one made to visit my host family with my husband and children some time after 9 11...so that was long ago...

I've just got my new one and it's valid for 10 years

Only five years? 

Wow!

10 years

Just checked mine to be sure they didn't change....

Thank you  On Friday I bought the stamp and filled everything online. But the townhalls don't give appointments until August and only one of them accepted to put me on a waiting list by writing an e mail with my plane ticket. So I bought a plane ticket and I e mailed them but I still have no answer. You have to have the appointment for finger prints which is the part that can't be done online..  Without brexit I would have been able to use my ID which is up to date but I didn't think I would need a passport for England

Can't you find a place in another town ?

I'd be able to have mine earlier while going outside my place but I didn't because i was not in a rush

What's going on in France that it takes so long to get a passport? Does everyone want a passport now because it's easier to travel?

Nobody asked for a new one during the last 2 years even if it was expired .

And probably the "télé working" doesn't help

I've just got mine while I applied in march and had a lot to wait to get an appointment .

@crazyaboutmika I've got the feeling that if you pre register the form online you'll get an appointment sooner

Did you try it ?

Effectuer le renouvellement de votre passeport (ants.gouv.fr)

Enjoy the concert tonight !

Did he say anything about when new music will be released?

Guess what ........

I forgot to say that he's hiring a studio everywhere he goes on the tour to be able to work on his songs

So I understood the topics, but not the details. They talked about Zoom Meetings, about new music (again he said he wrote 3 albums ), about how he started and why he wrote GK and the GK challenge, and some choreography for Relax that he has to do in Montreal, because he promised it the last time. Hope some of you understood more details.

He's bored with zoom meetings because it takes much more time than a normal phone call. Seems that his family prefers zoom but he doesn't understand why they are not fed up to see his face again and again  

He promised to himself that he'll never do the GK challenge 

He likes to drink , eat and party a lot but he sets boundaries on these matters while touring

Back to 3 albums to come .....

And he's got an important meeting with the record company right now !

Ah good, thanks, I already thought I was listening to the wrong station.  A few songs are alright, but generally it's more background music. I'm listening with one ear, while I can... 

I feel like I'm listening to the same song from 1 hour 

Hopefully I've got plenty of things to do at the meantime

I agree, absolutely stunning!! I feel that professional photographers don’t capture Mika that well, it’s often just a little off. The pics are still amazing, but Nina got it exactly right ❤️

The pro they just come , take a few pictures and leave .......

Can't totaly complain when they are very tall
