From reading the comments on Pretties's facebook page I gathered that this fan called Laura Tavares got a chance to pose with Mika on the cover... she's lucky! This is her facebook
(comments under the photo were for example 'Trop de chance de poser avec Mika Laura !!!' etc)
Ah! Mystery finally solved.
LUCKY. GIRL. OMG.

Those pictures...

This girl from the Pretties magazine shoot! I don't see her mentioned anywhere in relation to it, but I figure she must be a French celebrity of some kind? Does anyone recognize her or know her name?
(Sidenote: I adore the way he's holding her arm, it's so gentle and sweet
) -
Exactly, this one! I'm totally obsessed with it..
Hope someone else could help!
I just ran it through as many song recognition apps I could find and none of them recognized it
there are more websites to try though, I'll try those tomorrow. I don't have high hopes but I'm not giving up yet! -

ALMOST the entire show!
I say almost, because it's short the one song - elle me dit - which I, and so many of us, want video from
My search for a complete video of that song + Camille onstage with him continues!-

shame. but from what Google tells me, he has had more concerts over there than over here.
True, but the scale of America, like Australia, is problematic. His last 2 american shows were in NY and LA - as a Floridian that's 935 miles (13 hour drive) or 2,400 miles (33 hour drive) from me, respectively. So still technically in the country, but also totally unfeasible
.HEY MIKA AUSTRALIA AND FLORIDA WANT TO SEE YOU
I'd drive to Miami for a show in a heartbeat. He's got a house here even! We need a show here
Random thing: I'm listening my way through Queen's entire catalog and discovering exactly how much I love queen

so sad I live in Australia. Mika's not very popular over here.
As an American I feel your pain. No one ever recognizes my shirts :-(

Same! I got a new camera a while ago and it takes really good pictures, I can zoom in quite far, wich I love
I always take many photo's, wherever I am 
Same, I'm a big cat lover
And (as I said) tigers are my fave. :biggrin2:Snow leopards are really beautiful as well. 
It's sad that almost every kind of big cat is endangered now. Well, if you really want to see a few, here they are!
Had to resize them a bit, since they where a bit big. OMG they're fantastic! I love the last one!

So now that all the busy days are over for me I'll be back here more often.
Believe it or not, but I've never been at a zoo before...
WHAAAYou're missing out LOL. I don't have a zoo close to me anymore (closest one is like and hour and a half drive) and I'm very sad about that. When I was a kid we lived close to a really nice zoo and went there all the time with my cousins. I miss being a kid and living close to all my cousins LOL.
Yaaaaaay finally!!
Wait what!?
I've been to many zoo's.
Both with my parents and with school quite a few times. I made some amazing tiger photo's today btw
(yes, that is my favorite animal 
)Taking pictures is part of why I love zoos so much! I'm the family shutterbug. Post some of your tiger pics if you can! We'd love to see them!

A handful of videos from the show on steph_em_m's instagram https://www.instagram.com/steph_em_m
(I've asked her in google-translate french if she'd consider putting her videos on youtube, we shall see!)

I wish he'd do more of those symphony shows around the world! (Please Mika, come to Holland
) Now that would be lovely! Oh dear, oh dear.
Btw, something random: I'm going to the zoo tomorrow and I am excited.
I must not forget to skip when I get there! HAVE FUN I love zoos so much! I don't know why exactly but they're my favorite thing to do :-)

Sinfonia Pop is so beautiful. I'd love to be able to see a symphonic concert. If he did one at the Royal Albert Hall in London, well...that would be perfect.
Ooooh I can't imagine. Being able to go to one of the symphony shows would be SO incredible <3 Darn geography!
I'm building some big papercraft things right now and there's so much glue dried on my hands I can't really feel my fingertips
-
*edges in on the conversation?* XD
I like jewelry but I always find necklaces and bracelets annoy me to wear. I always feel like they're in my way somehow. I like rings :-)
and OMG I adore Sinfonia Pop so much I could listen to/watch it over and over and over again. I'm so tempted to just play it as like a screensaver on my tv

I got new eye shadow yesterday. I looked at the ingredients at the back of the box. THE VERY FIRST INGREDIENT WAS.......... mica. I was like, WTF?!?!?!
OMG, yes! I never made this connection :-O Mica is the technical/wholesale name for powdered pigments used in makeup (and possibly paint as well?). You'll find it as a main ingredient on packaging of most makeup products, especially eye shadow :-)

the HAT
THE HAT
That hat is quirky and slightly nuts and I absolutely adore it.
(Mika, on the off chance you read this, more of that hat please
)(If anyone is wondering, the triumphant sounding violin bit they played at the beginning of the interview and in the background throughout is the first 30 seconds or so of Beyond by Daft Punk)

Wow I like it!!!
Hmm that does look nice! I might try that!
I went ahead and wrote a detailed tutorial here :-)

Supplies: plain white t shirtred fabric painta small foam brushan x-acto knifea cutting mat or surface of some kindcardboardclear shipping tapea printerSave the image at THIS link to your computer and print it out full page sized. Lay it down on a cutting mat. Now we need to paint proof this. Using clear plastic shipping tape, begin covering the stencil. Place one strip of tape longways across the top of the paper, and do the same with the next, overlapping it slightly over the first. Continue this way down the stencil until the entire thing is covered in tape. Go ahead and make your tape a touch longer than the paper - this will tape the paper to your mat and make cutting the stencil out easier. Carefully cut out around the M shape first, and then the heart. This will keep everything more stable as you cut. Direct any overcutting towards the heart - we will not be using it to paint around and it can have chunks missing (DO NOT destroy it completely though - we need it to properly align the M inside the stencil on the shirt.) Try to not make any errors or overcuts into the outer paper or the M - these need to stay paint proof at the edges. To free your stencil from the mat, simply take your knife and cut down the outside edges of the paper, about 1/2 inch in from the edge. This will sever all the tape holding it down and you can peel the tape and tiny paper strips off your mat without worrying about tearing your stencil.
Cut out a shirt-sized rectangle of cardboard and stretch your shirt over it. This will prevent paint from soaking through to the back of your shirt. Place the outer part of your stencil on your shirt where you want the heart to go, shipping-tape-covered-side up, and tape it down at the corners. Place the heart piece exactly inside the the outside stencil. Using either double sided tape or small rolls of normal tape, apply tape to the back (plain paper side) of the M and stick it down exactly inside the M shaped hole in the heart. Now remove the heart piece! By doing it this way we ensure the M is correctly placed inside the heart stencil.
(just a progress pic, my stencils are not lined up properly here.)Begin painting inside the stencil using a small foam brush and very little paint. The heavier fabric paint is, the more likely it is to crack, and remember, we're trying to duplicate a screen printed design. Bearing this in mind, make your paint coat light and ensure it soaks into your fabric. Paint around the outside edges of your heart and M first. Unfortunately, the outer stencil we're using is not stuck down at the edges - so there are 2 keys to getting crisp edges to your design and not having paint seep under the edges of your stencil. First, hold your outer edges taught as you paint over them. Secondly (and this applies to the M stencil as well), be sure to ONLY paint by sponging up and down - never stroke the paint on (this is why we're using a sponge brush). Once you've painted all the way around the edges of your stencils, begin filling in the rest of the heart using a similar technique.It's important to pull off your stencils while the paint is still at least somewhat wet. The last thing we want is red paint in places that should be white, so go scrub the red paint off your fingertips before removing the stencils. Start be removing the outside stencil, which should be fairly easy. Peel off the tape at the edges and you're good to go. The M will be a little more difficult. Somehow you've got to peel it off without getting any red paint inside the outline. There's no real tutorial on a good way to do this. Just be verrrrry careful.And Ta-Daa :-)
You have your very own M heart shirt. Follow the directions on your bottle of fabric paint re:washing and drying.
(Little legal disclaimer thing: as of right now, the only way to acquire a real M heart shirt is in person at a show. For many of us, for reasons of time, money, or simply being in the wrong country, continent, or even the wrong hemisphere, this is unfeasible. If and when the M heart shirts are put on the mikasounds webstore, and therefore available to everyone, I respectfully and understandingly bow to the mods if they feel this post should be taken down. I would have been more than happy to buy a shirt, but alas, that was not even kind of possible. I cry american tears XD.)

Update: I took a proper self portrait of myself wearing this shirt and my old ballet gear and sent it to the official Facebook page. And they uploaded it! So now there is a photo of me (and my homemade shirt) on the official Mika Facebook page
(if anybody wants to go digging around to find me from this, it's in the "M" album with all the M heart merch pictures and I'm the girl in the tutu and pointe shoes

I want a shirt (or flag) with that heart on it and the 'M'
Make one! I did. Get a white t shirt and some fabric paint, make a stencil of the heart, and stencil it in. I have the vector graphics file I used to print the heart for my shirt, and can make it available + detail the method I used to make mine if you're interested :-)

I'll volunteer here as well, I'm happy to help with English grammar and expressions/idioms. English grammar is occasionally confusing even to a native speaker, I cannot imagine what learning it as a second language must be like.

I absolutely ADORE this version of Overrated. The way he speaks more than sings the verses, the enunciation and emphasis. Not only is it a beautiful version of the song but it's super nice to listen to, it makes my ears happy
I could listen to it for hours (and probably will) 
Edit/update: 24 hours later, still can't stop listening to this <3
