    Hahahha thanks, I'll finish it Love your Porcelain tea cup song
  2. Manon14
    I think it's Porcelain too If it turns out to be something else, you really have fooled us From your lyrics, it seems my idea was the other side of the story: How could you break my cup It was my favourite cup How will I drink my tea When there's no cup for me You always drop my stuff Right now I've had enough Buy me another cup This has to stop
  3. Manon14
    Or Promiseland? "How could you break my cup"

    But your drawings are amazing! I love how you do those shadows Laura, that is quite some skill, wow! And Emelyne I adore how you made him grey and the necklaces in colour, very cool! This is an amazing thread, everyone makes such great things ????

    I literally cannot find that meaning anywhere through Google. And I don't think that makes a lot of sense... Anyway, I said it was my interpretation and that's the nice thing about music, it can be interpreted in different ways

    Hold on, I'm reading this entire discussion about whether or not Mika is allergic to peanuts, but I interpreted the lyric a bit differently.. "Give me a peanut and I'll turn blue, I can't even eat the things you do" I thought it meant that the ex eats a lot of peanuts and that every time Mika (or the other way around, if it's from the ex's perspective) sees/eats a peanut he's reminded of the other one so he 'turns blue'. He can't eat peanuts because they remind him of his ex.

    Thanks guys! Mika really is more difficult to draw than other people I've drawn, I haven't made a drawing of him yet that I think is spot on... he really does have those fine features

    So yesterday I put J'ai Pas Envie on repeat and this is the result

    If your album has 15 tracks, it's the deluxe version the normal version of the album only has 11 tracks. There are several more even "deluxer" versions, like the limited edition one that you've probably ordered, but your 15 track cd is still a deluxe version!

    Same here! I forgot a lot of French as well. Thankfully my graduation wasn't that long ago (three years now) so when I started watching The Voice last year it came back very quickly. I'm glad because I'd love to get much better in French (I don't know if (European?) language levels mean anything to you, but our graduation level was B1 so I've got a long way to go.) The subtitling team helps, though

    Just wondering: will mikasounds.com ever reveal the new website?

      This status is from July and the new website is still not here.... I feel like I can't update my status until the site is updated. Mika! Go tell your team to fix it!

    I agree. It sounds like the way he sings and pronounces things. But I might share your delusions But it sounds like the same voice as on Promiseland, and there all vocals were done by Mika.
  13. Manon14
    Thought I'd check and... the official lyrics do say "I'm pulling but my heart is on the wire" And here I was just blaming Mika for his weird pronounciation (sorry Mika!) Good ear
  14. Manon14
    Same here. I'm glad it made the top 20 in the UK! However, here it's down to number 53. I don't hear anything on the radio, no promo here, nada. People don't even know he's alive I thought promo in the UK would help, but maybe I just need to have a little more patience.
  15. Manon14
    Confirmed by both the OSM and Mika on twitter. Out late 2015 is what they both said.
  16. Manon14
    I agree, with something as subjective as music or even creative writing: what does 'better' mean anyway? Music, as all art forms, simply is a matter of taste. I admire Mika as a singer who writes his own songs, more than I would have if he were just a singer who sang other people's songs. As long as he's not being lazy in the songwriting (like, repeating the verse and chorus constantly as in Big Girl - I'm not a fan of that song), he's always written what he feels is genuine, and that's the most important thing to me. I understand that some singer-songwriters write more poetic or eloquent, but I could listen to them as well when I want to. As for Mika, like any artist, as long as he writes from the heart, you can feel that it's genuine and that's what I search for in musicians that I listen to and look up to.

    The Sims! Hahaha hilarious analogy. I really really hope he'll take notice of how much we love Promiseland.
  18. Manon14
    It entered the official Dutch album chart on number 20! Hopefully it'll rise now that it's being promoted in the UK http://dutchcharts.nl/weekchart.asp?cat=a
  19. Manon14
    Yes I agree! Love the accent! Thank you all for posting the interviews here, I'm so happy he is doing promo in the UK as I was starting to be afraid that he wouldn't... Now I can catch up on all the interviews!
  20. Manon14
    Okay that was interesting.... For everyone that doesn't know, this Simon is extremely well-known here as a duo with a guy named Nick and they usually sing Dutch songs I kept laughing at his "gotta be gween, gotta be mean", sorry But thank you for posting, I had never seen that before! His vocals are good, as it's such a hard song to sing!
  21. Manon14
    So did I, but don't ask me how This is nearly impossible! Especially this early after the release.. I feel bad for the other songs.. I like the idea though, I am curious to know what the outcome will be once there is a reasonable amount of people who have voted.
  22. Manon14
    Yes you're right, he said in the Italian track by track video that the version on the album is the stripped-down version, and there's a different version which we'll apparently get to hear in a few months. He did not specify when, but Melyssa, I so love your theory
  23. Manon14
    Well, the fact that that was the first thing I checked in the booklet means that you're not the only one...
  24. Manon14
    It is. According to the credits in the booklet, all vocals and background vocals were done by Mika.

    It is quite a funny little thread! I'll help bringing it back to life. My name is Manon, 21 years old and I live in the Netherlands. I am a student at the University of Amsterdam but I'm almost done with that and getting my bachelor's degree as soon as I've finished and passed my thesis! Then if I'm admitted, I'll do a master in Translation next year, and if I'm not admitted, I'll do a different master the year after that. Not sure what that would be, yet. As a part time job I stock the shelves at a supermarket, but in a month I need to find another job because they can't continue my contract without offering me a permanent job (that's some stupid law here after two times a temporary contract) so yeah. I hope to find something nice. I think my greatest wish is both the simplest and the hardest one: to be happy. The problem is that I'm not quite sure what I want in life, what would make me happy. But I'll do my best to find it
