subtitles or a translation would be great.   I was just watching this and it seems like a fun interview.

 

 

I was starting to think it's him, then i remember when Dermot O'Leary (i think) asked Mika if the BA song he sang was the flower ladies commercial or smth, so i googled that and found this

It sounds like the same song and it says it's "featuring the Flower Duet from Lakme."

Looks like we continue to have a mystery on our hands.

This is such a hard one to answer, I have no clue...though there's 2 different answers. My story with Mika is rather long and detailed, with lots of times where he & his music was a sort of semi-present figure in my life before I really fell for him. So...if I had not gotten lost in the youtube suggested videos just over a year ago and fallen madly in love, I don't know where I would be! I know I would be less one of the things that makes me happy. I can't imagine my life without the bursts of joy his smiling face brings me every day. But deeper and more emotionally, and the second answer - if I hadn't discovered Happy Ending and Grace Kelly when I did, for the first time, many years ago (2011 or 2012?) - then I REALLY don't know. Those 2 songs were a big part of my coping mechanism during a difficult part of my life, and I think they helped tremendously to pull me out of it. Perhaps I would have had a harder time recovering from that, and not have recovered as completely. So I think, without Mika, I would be much less happy - either in a simpler way, not having this source of joy, if he wasn't as large a part of my life; or in a much deeper, more intrinsic, mental health sense had I never discovered his music at all.

Short answer: I really need Mika - and have many times, and for a long time; even when I didn't really know it

Btw! Today I sat at this little café with a friend, and I sat thinking about how that had a really good playlist. And then the origin of love started playing!!! hahaha, I got soooo excited like, I would be excited if they played GK, but I did not expect OOL!

 

And also, something random: I find the loud ticking from MUMU weirdly calming  It's like a constant reminder of Mika 

I love little subtle reminders/comforts like this  . As if I didn't want MUMU badly enough already...

Oh my ####ing god !!! I have something ultra super important to tell u !!!

I won a crazy contest and i have two free tickets for the Mika's gig in avoine on the 3rd july i'm sooo happyyyyyyyyyy !!!

I want to share this joy with you and just to be happyyyyy with u guys XD

I'm so freaked out righ now XD u can't even imagine XD this is just unbeleivable !!!

SO HAPPY FOR YOU OMG

i think i somehow missed this entire thread back in the day! i remember seeing the videos, but most of these photos seem completely new to me

 

 

waaaait, is that Mika's actual British Airways advert in the background? I know he had a high voice when he sang opera back then, but i really thought that's a woman singing. Like, really.

I had missed this thread also...I think that actually is him. Had I heard that with no context I would have thought it was a 20-30 year old woman too , but having heard a clips of his voice when he was young...I think that really is him. I guess this means we've finally heard the elusive BA hold music  Now, what sort of superhuman vocal ability an 11-13 year old boy (forgive me, not exactly sure what year the ad is from) would have to sing like that is completely, entirely beyond me  . If that's what he was capable of at that age it does shed some light on how he's able to do what he does now.

(OT: we really need an "in complete awe" emoji, I keep wishing I had one for moment like this XD)

Would someone be so kind as to translate what's said that causes the expression at 16:50?

All these pictures are so beautiful!   So many great shots of that angelic smile 

:lmao:

 

Well on the other hand... Mika has always brought luck for me so yeah.

I've had kind of a similar experience where Mika has helped cheer me or bring me out of things unexpectedly or through weird coincidences/timing/unlikely things. Not only has he pulled me out of some sad spots in obvious ways, but multiple times now I have felt down or worried and I will run across something Mika related or something he's said and it will be exactly what I needed in that moment. Endlessly thankful to him for that 

Me again! For those of us on the wrong continent to have been at Bercy...

I made a stencil out of the heart and sponged it in with red fabric paint. SO happy with how it turned out! 

Update edit: I've written a detailed tutorial on how I made this shirt here :-)

I wish I could relate the entire show in its slightest details. But I’m afraid that in doing so I’d become a writer, not a storyteller.

I think one can be both, and you most certainly are. This report is beautiful. So happy for you! Sounds like your experience was perfect

Bless you, can't wait to watch this!

Here are some photos! Enjoy ^^

I love these! Great photos, especially considering how much jumping around he does Don't know how you managed to catch him but WONDERFUL pictures!

Could anyone download the audio file ?

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03x5chp

I have tried every kind of tech wizardry I can and it seems the R2 website has set themselves up just so that things cannot be downloaded. I think the only way to get this is going to be to record it.

Update: went ahead and made it myself. For anyone else who wants it, here you go :-)

Re: the "you bastard" bit before Good Guys - was that in reference to Andy? I'm guessing it was, but it's not clear exactly who he's talking to/about. Could one of the lucky souls who was at the gig fill me in on what was happening immediately before the start of that video? "It's only cause i love him so much that I call him a bastard" is so cute

Mika canta em casa de fados Cantor atuou sexta-feira no Rock in Rio. Veja o vídeo. Por Cátia Carmo Antes de subir ao palco no Rock in Rio, em Lisboa, Mika cantou um dos seus temas no restaurante Casa de Linhares, uma casa de fados na capital portuguesa. O cantor libanês-britânico cantou uma das suas músicas acompanhado por uma guitarra e viola, instrumentos típicos do fado, e convidou os músicos portugueses a atuar ao seu lado no festival de música. A cantora Mariza também subiu ao palco no Rock in Rio. Mika foi buscar a portuguesa às cavalitas e cantou, ao seu lado, alguns versos do tema Meu Fado. "Gosto de fado, mas não sei cantar", disse.

Mika canta em casa de fados "Over My Shoulder"

 

 

This is so amazing it feels like being hit with a truck. But it's a very pleasant truck. A voice-truck.

I'm sort of curled up in my chair listening to it for like the 6th time in an hour. This is one of those that washes over you completely.

Has anybody got the finger snapping and "Clean! Make my tea!" moment from this ( Are you taking the Mika?) interview in GIF form? If not I'll happily make my own but I feel like I've seen a gif at some point. Merci in advance :-)

I hope we will be able to order/buy this as a poster 'cause it looks like a piece of art to put up on a wall if you'd ask me...

Seconded! I desperately want this on my wall. I have an open space of wall that's been waiting for a Mika poster...

I am so happy to see the return of the glitter face look   He wears facial sparkle particularly well 

And another one... I hope you'll like it

As someone who quite literally cannot draw a straight line, this whole thread amazes me - but for some reason this drawing stands out to me. Mika has one of those faces which is particularity difficult to properly capture. The quirks of his features are just hard to get right. But you've done it! You've captured the pretty

His reaction to the manatees is one of the cutest things I've ever seen 

And the jacket to go with THOSE pants! Wonder what that suit looks like together 

In Italy Mumu is a rapper cow created for a TV commercial of a pudding for children

 

Question for USA speakers: In American, does Mumu means a camisole of Hawaiian style or I dreamed about it ?

In Japan, "Mumu" means Hawaiian dresses like this.

 Same in the US, and hilariously, there was just a jeopardy question about this on my tv as I was reading this thread

THAT ONE

THAT'S THE SUIT

THANK YOUUUUUU

I kNeW I WASN'T IMAGINING IT

I just bought a hairbow at H & M that is EXACTLY this tartan (BECAUSE I KNEW when I saw it it matched a suit/jacket he had worn) but never could find photos of the actual one and was beginning to think I had made it up.

Merci, merci, merci!!!

Has anyone got any pictures/video/memory of him wearing a darker tartan suit? It's not the jacket with all the embroidery on it and I don't THINK I'm thinking of the red suit. I have some memory of him wearing a darker tartan suit, predominantly blue maybe? The red one does look less red under different light though, so I may have imagined this and might be thinking of the red suit after all. Did I invent this other suit lol? Has my brain gotten so mixed up with all the crazy suits I don't know what he's actually worn anymore?   

I'm pretty sure you should be sainted.
