It was so good! I have to say the symphonic arrangement isn't my favourite, but watching the actual concert was mindblowing. His voice... omg and all his little moves and expressions... I loved it and I hope someone was able to record it so that more people will be able to watch it too. Really, I'm speechless.

OMG this is hilarious. But you know, he's dyslexic, the poor thing... how's he supposed to recognize Korean letters if he said in that very interview he still has to be very focused on what he's reading in order to read it properly? XD Have a little mercy and don't mess with the writings on his hats XD

Actually, in the interview he said he was late and had to catch another flight because he missed the one he was supposed to take, not that his flight was delayed. We always complain when he's late, but thank God he was late that very time.

Was it longer than 1 hour and 40 mins?? O.O What I hope is that they didn't cut out all the parts where he spoke inbetween songs. I remember watching a very short video of him joking a bit, those are the best parts imo

Yes, the first line is driving me nuts. I mean, if they take the time to write the lyrics in a booklet anyway, why on earth don't they at least write the right ones? XD

At first I thought it was "I'm into you", but can it maybe be "I'm mean to you"? And I also think it might be "By resolution". Does that make sense?

Good, that means I'm not going crazy

Thanks! But...is it just me or are some words really wrong in the lyrics? I definitely can't hear "I miss you" in the first line even though I'm still not sure what he really says, then I hear "by the time I know" instead of "go" and then I hear "my heart could beat so quick" instead of "be so brave". I listened to the song three times while reading the lyrics but I keep hearing the things I wrote.

Here's my attempt: My resolution I'm into you(?) Will you hear my confession as the truth? Tell me what my penance should be If you really love me, punish me Chorus Obvious people talk to themselves Think they're talking to someone, but they're talking to themselves Look at our love, you know that it's true It can build us up, tear us down, but I'll be next to you Chorus

Thank you so much Deb I'm the lyrics maniac, as usual

Thanks, I really like this song. Just one thing, I hear "OK tell me no", and " do you really think" almost at the end, am I wrong?

About the Eleonora thing (I won't quote all the posts otherwise mine becomes too long), well, I understand what you say, that she's emotional, she was under pressure and all, nonetheless I think she could and should've handled the situation differently. She was pissed off because Skin chose Margherita instead of her, but had she been a bit more honest to herself, she would've known her performances weren't as good as Margherita's and that the judges already saved her once to give her another chance because they liked her, but if she didn't improve, what else could they do? She had potential and emotions, but technically she was a disaster and giving her a chance doesn't mean they deceived her, they gave her the opportunity to become better, which she didn't. And I don't think she was "thrown to the lions" either, she could've left the competition at any time if she didn't feel at ease there. Had she won, then what? Was she expecting no criticism even afterwards?? I'm sorry, I can't see her as a victim. She chose to take part to the show, she chose to stay and not to leave, she was objectively worse than Margherita, she had been given another chance the week before, no one was unfair to her IMO. If she can't handle the pressure, that's only her problem and had she realized she had only to blame herself for not being good enough, she wouldn't have behaved that way, blaming others for her failure.

Just a quick summary, I hope it's good enough. Mika talks about Luca Tommassini (choreographer and set designer for X Factor) and says he's a great artist who can see an enormous potential even in the most simple things and he always works to create the best he can and he's also and unpredictable man who can be very sweet but also very cruel

Lol I love his WTF-am-I-doing-here face!

"Luca, this book might inspire you. This was an important book for me when I was your age"

Thanks for replying. Yep, we figured that out after the lyrics were posted, the biggest problem for me while trying to understand them was that they didn't make much sense to me, except for the refrain. I can't wait to read them once you're done.

Yes, rather disturbing to watch, especially after the very dignified and elegant way Eva left the competition last week, what a difference. I'd like to add the two worst performances chosen by the audience were Eleonora's and Margherita's, both part of Skin's team, so she was forced to save one of her girls and let the other one go out and she chose to save Margherita. Therefore Eleonora got mad at her, saying things such as "I don't wanna listen to what she has to say, I don't give a f*ck about her, I don't give a f*ck we're live on a tv show, I trusted her but I learned you can never trust anyone". You could tell how Skin was upset about having to choose between two of her girls and even more when she understood how angry at her Eleonora was. Very childish and disrespectful behaviour.

No one has cracked the lyrics mystery yet?

I honestly don't know what to say. As Elwendin said, the song is identical to the Italian version so I think it could be appealing to those who already liked it, but as for younger people, I don't know. I found it funny because I know the original version (which I'm not a fan of, not my thing), but I'm not sure it'll be one of those Mika songs I play all the time, I can feel it's just a cover of something else and not really his style. So yeah... maybe it will divide opinions

I tried but I'm really unsure about them, so I prefer waiting for a native speaker. The song made me laugh though, it's so weird to listen to Mika singing it

MIKA official - ‏@mikasounds Hello https://instagram.com/p/9WVCBTziHj/

Yay! A thread for them! I only met them once but I agree they're good guys and good musicians. After the concert in Florence, Sarah and I were having a chat with two friends of hers outside of the Mandela forum when one guy from the Citizens! approached us to ask whether we knew a bar nearby, we told him there was one still open right around the corner and when he came back with the full band, they asked us if we wanted to join them, so we did. They were really sweet and nice to us. We got in the bar, they offered to pay for our drinks and while some of them mostly chatted by themselves, Tom (the singer) and Lawrence (the guitarist/keyboardist) spent the whole time talking to us. They asked us if we were part of an official fan club and asked about Mika. They never talked about themselves and wanted to know about him and about us, which surprised me a lot. I told them about the poster accident happend in August and how that concert had a different meaning for him and that was probably why he decided to sing Over My Shoulder in the end, we talked a bit about the Subtitling Team and Tom told us we're really dedicated fans and I had the impression he was a bit sorry they don't have the same fandom here, because he soon after told me they love Italy and would love to come back here with their own tour but they're afraid they're not known enough here to sell. We had a chat about random things and even laughed a bit. We talked about music, soccer, food, languages and many other things and when we left at 2 am, they hugged and kissed us, asked us if we had a place to stay overnight and told us to stay safe. They thanked us for being so friendly and told us Mika fans are an amazing big family. I really had a great time, I kept speaking and speaking and speaking and I was so sad we had to leave in the end. I also think the show didn't really do justice to their songs, maybe the audio wasn't very good, because when I listened to them at home I was surprised by how good they actually are.
