Happy new year to all the MFCers!

A lot of good things happened to me in 2014, but get to know MIKA and MFCers definitely is one of the best~

:newyear:

Thanks a lot to our mods, admins, and the translation team for all your effort in 2014. You're the best! :huglove:

Although you dont own them, but since you live in the two cats' territory, now you are officially their servant...:naughty:

I am one too, but not currently a cat owner. My housemate has two though.

Thanks for all of your reports!:huglove:

It's a great fun to read them:thumb_yello:

Again, thank you all

 

 

Here comes my very last The Voice report of 2014, and probably of the whole season 4, and even maybe of my life: sounds a bit more dramatic all of a sudden .

 

 

Battles, last round, 20/12/2014

 

 

This last recording was on the day of the fan meeting, of which I already talked about in the appropriate thread, so we were all still on a cloud when we entered the set. We went in our usual little corner, but what's funny when you always have the same people in the same little corner is that you end up being noticed and the warm up guy talked a lot about us to the rest of the audience, telling them to do like us as “they know how to bring the fun, my little summer camp. They are well organized, they have candies and everything. I think they have tried to poison me with an expired candy last night though (nope, it was just a sugar free one XD) . Also they sleep here. And actually that's almost true, for real they almost do” .

He was right though, we know how to party and we really danced a lot that night. Like we had choregraphies and all. I should say we were really good (or completely bonkers, as told us Pagny's fans afterwards: they were sitting on the other side of the set and saw us dancing all night ).

 

 

Last recording also meant last chance to do the opening song correctly... meh. It definitely won't be the cover of the year. But they had to stay on the ring for a while because of some technical issues, and this is when Mika lost it all and went mad . He kept on pointing Pagny and Zazie, shouting “PAPA! NICOLE!! PAPA NICOLE!! Like in the add, you are Nicole and you are papa!! PAPA NICOLE!!!!” (also somewhere in the middle of it someone ended up being called Gertrude) . Seriously he was half hysterical about it and nobody knew what he was talking about. Zazie ended up telling him “it's okay Mika, you go and take your pills and everything will be fine!” Those of you who were in the UK in the 90s will probably remember this series of Clio adds . But in the here and now he was just going mad, period .

 

And then they went back in backstage but as Mika stayed in the coridor we could still see his shadow and he was all alone in there and... again, he began to loose it. He began to cross the place in a sort-of goose step parade, and the most impressive wasn't how far he could throw his leg but how much noise he was doing – I swear an elephant would have been more discreet, it is quite amazing the amount of noise he can do all by himself and only by walking (and I bet the floor was trembling for those on this side of the set!).

 

 

Cutting to random:

 

One of Pagny's battle was interrupted by some technical issues, and the two contestants were italian, so they wouldn't really understand what was happening, and so Nikos asked “the italian-speaking lebanese” to translate. So technician guy explained what the problem was and said “Mika dis-leur qu'il y a un problème" tell them there is a probem, meaning tell them what the problem is.

Mika: “c'è un problema”.

Technician: “.... Thank you, Mika. It's helping a lot” (he then explained to them for real obviously. But this beginning was still very funny).

 

Other technical issue and we end up with Nikos talking from backstage, so we can only hear is voice without seing him. To which Mika comments “Hey, it suits you to be God”. A bit later, I don't remember why, Nikos would end up saying “ you coaches are mad, really” and Mika to answer “oh yes because you are perfectly normal, maybe”. And still with that Nikos/Mika pairing (quite a double act those two that night) during a break Nikos made a musician play Santana and pretended it was he who was playing, and Mika gave his best (and quite accurate) imitation of a groupie, high pitch scream and arms chasing the air and all , and that definitely was hilarious

 

 

For those who had read and remember the guts story during Blind auditions, guts came back that night as the contestant involved was back and Mika had to comment “let's remember that guts smell bad”, yes, he's right let's not forget that.

And also those who have read me might remember Mika seems to have made a speciality of spilling his glass. He did it again this night .

 

 

Some weird sentences made their way out of him that night, like “Between the two I choose the hair” or “she is confident on the inside of her” (believe me it sounds weirder in french). He invented a new word again (racontage), but it was cute how he said it very slowly because he knew it didn't exist as he was saying it and was already waiting for the correction. And the best one might have been “Hey! Hey... hey Macarena!” because I will always love its way of coming from nowhere

 

And as we actually ended the night dancing the macarena (between two feng-shui seances) in the middle of the street, it is as good as anything for a conclusion, right?

Thanks for all of your reports!:huglove:

Really? OMG, cant wait to see it!

You guys are the best!:thumb_yello:

It's really weird that you mentioned that. We have a little subtitling project going on about it

We just need to know if the owner of the video is ok with us subtitling it, and I don't know how to get in touch with her to ask it.

 

Edit: I've just been told that I can PM the girl on YT

Love blue, like pizza but not the favourite, excuse me for my Chinese stomach:mf_rosetinted:

BTW, Mika looks good in everything, but personally i think he looks the best when he's wearing all kinds of blue suits and shirts..:wub2:

Is there a meeting for fans of the blue and the pizza? in that case, I'm in

 

Btw, we are again in the same situation: Mika stalks us...

 

oh well Mika!! When will your album come out?

haha speaking of embarrassed, i remember when he's trying to say that in spanish, instead saying "he's pregnant":teehee:

How cute and sweet

He must have been really embarrassed

For us newbies, it's very hard to imagine..:shocked:

It's not the first time he responds to Deb, he actually knows her

dcdeb I saw mika replied your twitter!

So jealous!:sneaky2:

:meow:

it seems that we have a lot cat person here!

Hi Yang! Welcome here! I'm a cat person too

No, actually I'm from China, but currently studying in the states:fisch:

Yep, Italy! are you from USA?

Got this for only $4, best purchase ever!

Wasn't quite sure where to put this, but I guess this thread works.

 

I got an email from the US mikasounds shop that they are having a big year-end clearance -- up to 75% off.

 

http://mika.shop.bravadousa.com/Default.aspx

 

Lots of old merchandise deeply discounted. T-shirts for as low as $6.25, button sets for $2.50, tote bag for $3.75, hoodie for $12.50...

 

 

Looks like they'll ship overseas, but not sure how expensive that is...

 

Anyway, just thought some might be interested, even though it's merch that's been around for a while, nothing new.

Hello Yang and welcome

 

There's a Jazz festival in Korea next May where Mika performs, maybe you can attend those gigs.

Yang is studying here in the States, not sure that will be possible.

Sadly Kez u r right, i cant go back to China next summer let alone go to Korea, I'll wait, someday mika will come to the states and I'll go to one of his revenues..

I hope I wont need to wait too long...

Good afternoon from surprisingly didnt snow this year :teehee: iowa!

Thanks a million for your effort!:huglove:

I love MIKA's facial expressions in this video now finally I can match his words with them!:naughty:

btw, dear Vv where are you from? I'm guessing Italy? I googled St stephen day and saw a lot countries celebrating it as public holiday.

Here it is the full translation, enjoy it!

Good morning from my snowy village!

 

Hey how are you doing?

J: fiiiine!

M: fiiine

J: Freaking great

M: what's your name?

J: Julia (pronounced in a weird way)

Mo: Julia, ciao

M: where do you come from?

J: I come from a little village near Riccione

F: Riccione (copying the way she pronounces it)

M: what did she say?

Mo: her name is Julia and she comes from Riccione (joking on her pronounciation)

J: Julia

M: Julia near Riccione. What do you sing?

J: I sing Boom Boom by Irene Grandi

M: boom boom?

V: the heart beats, boom boom

M: I have a song called Boum Boum Boum, I wanna know: in my song Boum boum means (sex)

J: oh no!

V: here it means boom boom (pats her hand on her chest near the heart) heart beating

J: it's more sentimental

M: aaah

V: heart beat

M: but this one (sex) can be sentimental too! Come on, sing it!

 

She sings

 

F: wow

J: thank you

F: it's the most awesome way of stay on stage I've seen today!

J: thanks

Mo: I liked you too, both vocally and I liked your attitude too

J: thank you

V: you're not crying, are you?

J: I dint know, I don't know how I feel like, I'm crying, laughing, boh!

M: like Mika

V: you're wonderful and while singing you're even better

J: thank you

M: great way of being on stage. It lacks a bit of control

V: oooh

M: no, really, vocally there were

V: come on Mika, tell me, is it ok?

M: but, o don't know, maybe it can change but, I don't know

J: I am, I don't even know where I am, I'm iper-excited, so yes, I heard it too, I'm auto-critic, but I danced and oh I don't give a d*mn about it! Who cares?!

V: great, I like her attitude too

Mo: I like her style

M: who cares? I do!

J: well I was joking, I can do better than this

M: let's go on with the judgements

F: Julia from Riccione, for me it's a yes

V: yes, absolutely

J: thanks a lot

Mo: for me and Mika is.... Yes

J: thank you!!!

It would also be awesome if someone translate the whole thing for me..I can guess some from the commets of the video using google translation, but not very detailed.:blink:

Can u also tell me what did he say in the end after Julia singing?

Can u also tell me what did he say in the end after Julia singing?

Here's what he says at the beginning of the Toy boy video.

 

It's hard to begin, so when I was in my dressing room I thought I wanted to start very softly, with songs you don't know, and then, what beautiful notes (not sure here). My first show in Milan in which I can speak only Italian

 

If there is anything else you want to know, just tell me what video it is in.

no, it's not:teehee:

but, new year's coming, happy new year!

Thank you, it's been a coincidence I got to see it this morning, and I had time to do it. Happy St. Stephan. (not sure it's a feast day worldwide....)

It began with only one, then she became a mother and give birth to 4, all of them were raised up piecefully:blush-anim-cl:, then one of the baby kittens also became a mother and raised her baby in my district...before I left there were 9 stray cats in my district, 3 adults, 6 babies...Sometimes i still concerned about those cats, my friend told me most of them should be fine since she did not see any sick/injured cats or bodies in that area, and since there're a lot rats in that area and the cats hunt them down, people in that district are all nice to these stray cats..:fisch:

Cats are pretty independent, easier to take of then dogs i think. I'd have like 10 kitties, but i know i couldn't take of more very well.

aww that's sweet of you to feed the stray kitties. How many were there?

definitely!

It's been 8 months since I came here, but been a fan longer than that... a quiet one, but a fan nonetheless.

Also, I'm also a cat person, loooove cats, never have one on my own, i'm afraid i cant take very good care of them, and it would break my heart if something wrong happens with my cat, but i always feed the stray cats under my dorm when i was undergraduate, i had big bags of cat food back then.

thanks

Yes we meet again~haha nice to meet to kezza:huglove:

We meet again!
