Testing
that's a wonderful pic. I miss his curly hair

thank you
and thanks for english translation

tI'm not sure if there's a thread for this already, but I thought we could discuss some of the things Mika could do, which he hasn't already.
● An autobiography/animated life book - I'm sure he's continuing to live a fairly interesting life & has plenty of stories to tell. Especially in regards to earlier issues he faced with bullying, getting into the music industy, sexuality etc... I dunno, I just think he could spread hope & inspire some of his younger audience. Even if a mass market release wasn't possible, it could just be released as limited edition/album accompanying style (kind of like how he did with the Songs For Sorrow EP).
● A covers album of Mika's favourite songs. Or how about a Christmas Album!?
● Mika wigs - no explanation needed
A book about his biography is an good idea with some paintings/pics or a making of dvd about his fourth upcomming album

Hey there, I haven't seen this posted yet so here it is.
Here you can also find the translation.
If anyone finds some mistakes be free to tell me so that I can edit it!
Mika
Confidences of a very shy person.
Sunshine in London! End of March, the sun is shining on the English capital city. In the residential district of Chelsea, in the southern London, the white houses glitter. Here’s where Mika lives. The singer welcomes us dressed in jeans and blue sweater, on a light blue shirt. A simplicity that clashes with his The Voices outfits, but also with his home very Art Déco, where the pieces of arts lay next to the artwork of his 4th album which is being put together.
A mix of colourful pieces of paper and Mika’s portraits taken by the great photographer Peter Lindbergh. The coach is a little bit tired, after some hard days of work with his sisters, among whom Yasmine, who comes greeting us before going on working on the album booklet.
We take place in the kitchen around a big familiar table. It’s 4 ‘o clock pm, and as any good Londoner Mika brews some tea.
“It’s been a year and a half I’ve been working between where we’re sit now and that studio over there. That’s my life when I’m in London and I wanted to share that with you.”
INTERV: “Now that you are far away from The Voice, what is your opinion about this second season? Any weariness?”
M:I’ve got a very weird team full of talents coming from very different places. I can’t feel jaded. The Voice for me is like a house, which stays the same changing its furniture. However I’m someone who really loves habits. Like my dog Melachi. (alerted the animal, a big reddish dog, opens her eyes). For example, from the moment I bought that new chair, she’s been starring at it uncomfortably, she stays away from it. I’m the same as her.
INTERV: How do you feel on screen?
M:To be honest, I watch myself very little. There’s just a little mirror here, in my bathroom, standing on a cupboard near the washbasin. I don’t like to look at me very often. Besides I haven’t been sleeping for two days, I’ve barely washed myself and I’ve got nothing left to wear. I emptied all my wardrobes, everything is now in my flats in Paris and Milan.
INTERV: Yet isn’t it here in London, that you consider being at home?
Yes! Here’s the place where I feel most at home. Here is my family, my love life (his boyfriend’s name is Andy). And here I have my dog too. Where she is, that’s my home.
INTERV: After The voice I feel like you are more free, like you can talk without problems…
M:Before The Voice, I had a sort of click. I didn’t want to withhold anymore, I only wanted to do everything I wanted to. It’s not a real liberation. I just feel more at ease, but always preserving the most precious of all qualities: candor.
INTERV: We always see you very talkative on screen…
M:And again, they cut parts when editing.
INTERV: Is it a revenge for you, who hid behind muteness as a child?
M:(He laughs) It can be. It’s better now, because I speak about something I know very well, music.
But I’ve not changed from when I was 7. I just could find something with which I can feel at ease by myself and transpose it in my outside life.
INTERV: What would have been your life if you hadn’t found the music?
M:I would’ve been Geographer! It was the only thing I wanted to study back then. (He attended the London school of Economics, the equivalent of an important school in France). I’ll tell you a little story that makes us all laugh when it comes out in our family. My grandmother is Lebanese and she speaks French, English and Arabic with a very strong accent. She always tells us that we make her angry because she wanted us to become businessmen, doctors or even neurosurgeons. But nobody, neither her sons or daughters nor her grandsons or great-grandsons choose one of those subjects. Nobody! And there are 26 of us! We’re all artists. She wanted to call her family and to be able to say (he talks with Lebanese accent) “Oh my grandson is a great doctor in Paris!”
INTERV: She could say: “Oh my grandson is a great singer”
M:It would rather be: “Oh no, he’s weird, not a traditional one. Will he ever have a woman? He won’t likely have. Good, ok” She’s strange, I love her so much!
INTERV: Despite all, I can still feel a little bit of shyness in you…
M:A lot! When I go out, I tend to hide. I’ve always been this way. It’s a little bit of shyness and a little bit of fear. When I walk into a bakery I mutter, I don’t speak. On stage it’s the other way round.
INTERV: You live between London, Paris, Milan and sometimes Los Angeles. Isn’t it hard to manage to keep up a family and love life?
M:I live close to my family, but we don’t need to see each other every single day. And I don’t have children yet, so, it goes.
It’s a big responsibility, we can’t be selfish. Children come first when you have them, now it’s my job what comes first. And talking about my life as a couple, for now it goes. Sometimes it’s hard, living far away and all. But I’m lucky. What’s important is having a few moments when we can rest and live a quiet life as a couple and in our social lives. I work a lot at my place, that helps.
INTERV: I know you’re sensitive, however you’ve been the only one who hasn’t cried in The Voice so far…
M:I’ve very sweet and sensitive, I feel things in a very deep and intense way. Too much sometimes! But when it comes to crying, I keep it for myself.
INTERV: You say you’re not a romantic person but in your last single “Talk about you” you sing “You’re the only one I wanna talk about” It’s a nice love stating anyway…
M:In my life I don’t like the sickly sweet part. I’m rather a colourful romantic. More like Matisse than Mon Chéri. This song is utterly joyful!
INTERV: Does your boyfriend ever ask you if these songs are dedicated to him?
M:No, never. I don’t know if he feels himself brought into play. He hides all this because he knows I feel hung up very quickly if many judgments are expressed. So he does say nothing. He listens but never says a word. I hope he’s happy with it but honestly, I don’t know. It’s all to the good.
INTERV: Wouldn’t you like him to know when you write a song thinking about him?
M:No… It’s my modest side, once again. Everything I need to say, it’s written in my songs. And I don’t want to explain them too much, because I want people to make them yours. When I released Boum boum boum many people said that it was an engaged song talking about homosexuality, just because it came from me. But it’s not, it’s just a love song.
Sneak Peak: We listened to Mika’s new album.
At his place, Mika made a point of presenting us a few songs of his forthcoming album, No place in Heaven, waited for the 15th of June. A very pure and direct pop record. We listened, among the others: “All she wants” a song which speaks about his mother “All she wants is another son, but not me, it’s quite weird this one” jokes the singer. Then the title-track: “A letter to God in which I ask Him where do I have to go. Heaven or Hell? It’s a question that many people ask themselves. We wonder whether we’ve made the right decisions or not, whether we’ve been a good person or not.” And Mika does not forget us, with many French tracks among which: “L’amour”very disco-chic, recorded with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra where he says :”Love does what he wants” but also “J’ai pas envie” very pop and weird, on the line of Elle me dit.
oh thank you so much for the translation.

Ich wink mal rein, so als Deutschsprachige
Ich muss ehrlich sagen, ich hab überhaupt kein Gefühl, was eine Tournee angeht, und ich wär schon sehr dankbar, wenn was in nicht allzuweiter Enfernung stattfinden würde *seufz*
Und eine "richtige" Tournee wär mir natürlich auch lieber, als ein Festivalsommer *nochmalseufz*
Ich wäre ja schon fast dankbar, wenn was in Norditalien stattfinden würde (wobei - Italien ist ja auch ein eigenes Kapitel *wiederseufz*)
Sorry, das war jetzt ein totales Seufzerpost....
hallo,
immerhin hast du ihn 4 mal gesehen. vielleicht hast du ja Glück und du siehst ihn in der Schweiz.
Es ist schon mal gut, dass hier jemand mal wieder etwas reingeschrieben hat. das wurde zeit. ich wünsch dir viel Glück.

Silly question time. I am looking at my array of travel adapters. I know that for Canada it is the two pin, flat pins but I seem to have adapters where the pins are parallel to each other and some where the pins are set on an angle. I can't remember which ones are correct. It would be really helpful if they were actually marked with the correct countries on them.
Please could somebody help?
Hello kath,
maybe this pages/links help you.
I hope
