Elton John - I guess that's why they call it the blues

Journey - Don't stop believin

George Michael - Faith 

Jacson 5 - I want you back

Billy Joel - Piano man                                        

Harry Nilsson - Everybody's talkin

Depeche mode - Just can't get enough

 

I think Piano man is my favorite

 

 

Thank you! 

Could you give me a link please, so that I can listen to this cover? Because I found only 40-seconds lasting Mika's cover on YouTube.

But if this is your decision, I understand you and will not stop admire you...

Helen, without you we couldn't have moved so far...

You encouraged us to open new sides of ourselves. that we might have never opened without you.

You gave us force to believe in ourselves,

You brought this incredibly idea in life

And you gave us opportunity to see what we are capable of, and first of all for ourselves,

And now when you said you are leaving,

Everything around us begins turning black-white again...

Please, don't leave...

I was thinking there should be a thread like this! Thank you

You're welcome! 

Here's another "new" song, that I love:

We have a couple threads about Covers Mika has done:

http://www.mikafanclub.com/topic/25784-covers-mika-has-done/?hl=covers

http://www.mikafanclub.com/topic/19065-covers/?hl=covers

 

But since they are old threads, we could gather all covers here, it's a good idea, thanks.

Btw I'm moving your thread from 'Chat about Mika' to 'Mika's Music and Artwork'

Thank you!

I love to listen to Mika's version of another artist's songs He sings them in completely different way, but we can still follow the conception of a song.

And this makes them sound like something new, just invented by Mika. And I love to observe the transformation of a song.

So, I decided to gather here all other singers songs covered by Mika and also put an original version wherever it's possible.

It would be amazing to do this with your help, guys! 

If this kind of Thread already exists, please tell me.

Because I found only  thread, discussing how people covered Mika's song, but not how Mika did this by himself.

Ok, let's begin with some of my favorite Mika's covers 

Original version:

That's what we've done till now. 

 

I tried to put the singers one after another, but the video was a little bit monotonous in that way.

 

So I thought about adding Mika's picture in the middle, like we could imagine his reaction.

 

At the end only the writing - "Happy New Year, Mika!" - would be boring. 

 

That's why the Idea of Firework came.

 

 

Amye, - sorry, I couldn't resist and stole your "Kiss".

 

 

Don't be afraid - this video doesn't appear on Youtube.

 

No one could see it if I don't give a link.

 

 

Now we miss only the chorus (my part) and a couple of video from other fans.

Helen, I like this video!! Thank you so much!!

I liked how you put Mika's reaction and how you connected all parts.

But it would be very useful for all of us to hear your opinion about the video..

If there were some moments that we can make better, we'll try our best.

 

 

 

 

I've got this drawing with the writing - "This is my first portrait I made of him"...

 

 

Charlotte, I fell in love with your drawing

 

I can see the eyes of the boy who was bullied at school

 

I can see the eyes of the guy who saw her sister after tragic incident

 

I can see the eyes of the guy who said to Andy - "I go away and won't come back"

 

 

His defenses are down...

 

You made his soul naked, Charlotte...

 

 

 

I don't think that using this drawing in our common video is such a great idea.

 

It would be lost in the middle of singing and different faces.

 

 

I put it a part as a precious Gift.

 

Charlotte, would you like to write a letter to Mika ?

 

I can add it to your 2 drawings.

 

 

Ps. The 2d drawing of Charlotte I used in the "drawing-video" - see my Post below.

I feel like he's looking in my soul...

Thank you, Charlotte!

You're singing very well. 

 

Also I like very much your English.

 

Every word it's so clear. 

 

Brava! 

 

I love your video and your voice so much!

Now I know how the creator of a such beautiful paintings looks like 

Nice, doing it as soon as I'm not sick anymore!

Mika virus doesn't want to leave you...

           All post with Video - LYL I will mark with

Amye, your Intro is great.    

 

You've filmed it vertically so now it's like a Theatre a little bit.

 

But I love it this way.

Great job Amye!

Vivid, extraordinary and just in "Mika style"!!

Oh, I'm certain, our video will be something EXPLOSIVE! 

You might want to take a look at this thread http://www.mikafanclub.com/topic/22216-guitar-tabs-piano-music-for-the-new-songs-calling-all-musicians/

Thank you! I definitely will

Someone call him, I need him to be my piano teacher 

 

This both made me smile, and want to cry, so beautiful

Yeah I know, and on his YouTube channel I found few Mika's songs like L'amour fait ce qu'il veut, BBB, ....

Sound's different, but amazing!

Look what an amazing thing I found!

Well, I did make a butchered cover of Stuck In The Middle (even filmed it vertically which I hate lol) to show some MFCers how I played it, but that's a one-take cover so that's not really great 

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqAVsCEtD6o

Honorine!!

I love this so much!!!

I was singing the whole video!

Did you play also another Mika's songs? If yes, I'm sure not only me would be delighted to see them here!

Okay then I'll sing my verse I was given and let's say you do the two first for the French part and I do the last two.

 

This is the verse I'm singing also

 

Mika we'll see you at the Palladium

That's as good as seeing you in a stadium

Fans will gather from near and far

Excited to see you, the shining star

Your shows always leave us on a high

Making us feel like we can fly

Thank you for remembering the UK

We're all ready for a fantastic day 

 

For now I'm just gonna sing the whole thing and wait to see if people want to sing half of it, then they can always cut half of my video to let someone else sing 

Ok, agreed about the splitting, 

Are you talking about the spanish speaking part or my original verse?

 

We could do both together actually ! Like you do the 4 first lyrics in the verse and me the next 4, and you do the first two lyrics in the speaking part and i do the two lasts? That way we split it and I sing the "hardest" part of the speaking lyrics 

 

Then we'd have to film two videos as it's two different parts, and I guess we need to export them somewhere, I think they already said how earlier in this topic 

I'm talking about the french-spoken verse, that we created together.

This one:

Tu nous as tous donné la joie de vivre, 

Et n'as jamais arrêté de sauver nos vies

Pour nous c'est important de te voir heureux 

S'il te plaît, Mika, reste au niveau des Dieux! 

I already have the way to sing it 

I meant how are we gonna share it? 

You take the first 2 lines and I take next 2 lines or vice versa?

How is it convenient for you?

Or you have another idea?

Really? Gooood 

Ok, now let's decide how we'll sing it.

The language is good but it doesn't rhyme though... 

 

What about:

 

Tu nous as tous donné la joie de vivre, 

Et n'as jamais arrêté de sauver nos vies

Pour nous c'est important de te voir ici -> Pour nous c'est important de te voir heureux (For us it's important to see you happy)

S'il te plaît, Mika, nous oublie pas, jamais! ->  S'il te plaît, Mika, reste au niveau des Dieux! (Please, Mika, stay at the level of the Gods!)

Great!

I love it! 

Great, Honorine!

 

Look, I just came up with this:

 

Tu nous as donné la joie de vivre,

Et n'as jamais arrêté de sauver nos vies

Pour nous c'est important de te voir ici,

S'il te plaît, Mika, nous oublie pas, jamais!

 

Please, I need your corrections....

 I'll be glad, If you add something that you were thinking about.

 

And LET'S SING THIS TOGETHER!

The translation:

You gave us the joy of life

And never stopped to save our lives

For us it's important to see you here

Please Mika don't forget us, never!

That's what I thought about but I don't know if people would enjoy it? Cause I'd be willing to write it as I'm French it's easy for me 

Great, Honorine!

Look, I just came up with this:

Tu nous as donné la joie de vivre,

Et n'as jamais arrêté de sauver nos vies

Pour nous c'est important de te voir ici,

S'il te plaît, Mika, nous oublie pas, jamais!

Please, I need your corrections....

 I'll be glad, If you add something that you were thinking about.

And LET'S SING THIS TOGETHER!

Yuko,

 

really Marilyn Mastin started all this.

It was her idea.

 

I'm so happy you want to partecipate. 

 

We miss "spoken" part.

There's a "spanish-spoken part" in LYL.

Do you feel to do it? 

 

We don't have a lyrics for it.

But let's write it together!

 

What do you think about this?

Guys, what do you think,

if instead of spanish-spoken part it's gonna be french-spoken part?

Because I'm coming up with it right now....

Which show is this? I agree with you... I don't like it, but it's cool that someone has chosen to use Mika's song

This is Russian version of The Voice. 

Hey guys! 

Just saw this today in the morning and was shocked.... not in positive way though..

It's interesting to know your opinions about it.
