    Thank you so very much. Even though I've watched all of the voice, I never really watched x factor - I just hadn't gotten to it. I finally started watching it and am really enjoying it. I see that a lot of the places it was uploaded are being blocked for copyright, so I figured I would go through and download it ALL, so I know I can watch it all without worrying about it being taken down. Also, I generally like to save stuff, like an archive. I also help find these episodes for my friends, so it's really fantastic to have them. It looks like I'm going to need your help one more time with a few of the xtras from season 9 too -I'll get back to you when I figure out exactly which ones those are. But then I will have it ALL! A full complete x factor archive!

     

    Once again I can't thank you enough! I know what's involved in doing what you do, posting all these links for us - the MFC couldn't do without you!

    Edit: my Mika fan friends who don't have accounts here say thank you as well!

    Could you tell me which vids do you need ? I'll upload the files to somewhere.

    I've downloaded these XF files from

    Hope these sites still work. ( I know some d/l link is missing )

     

     

    Sadly the only link that works is for Xtra 1. I've got it downloaded now - but I am missing the other Xtras (I DO have all the lives themselves already). So I need all other than the first (2,3,4,5,6,7). Like I said, whatever site/method is easiest/fastest.

    Let me go through those sites and I will see which links still work - I'll get back to you very shortly.

    Eriko I hate to tell you but all the Xtras (and actually all of season 8 and possibly 9) have been blocked by the copyright holders :-( I would love to download them - I have a nearly complete x factor collection on my computer and these are some of the only ones I'm missing. I tend to save stuff more than watch it on the internet, so I would love if i could download them even if I can't stream them. Would it be at all possible for you to put the Xtras all together in one zip file and upload it to somewhere like MEGA so it could be downloaded? I'm so sorry, I know that's a lot to ask.

    Oh dear! It works for me as well. Thankfully it doesn't appear to have been taken down or anything - so perhaps the site was down temporarily?

    Hey everyone! Can anyone tell me where to get this jacket or something similar? Mika wears it the video for "Rain".5979384ac1893_mikajacket.thumb.jpg.62ed09a79e4ec631ffc212f2589b6d62.jpg

    Hmmmm. This might be a tough one. I found an article about the watch he's wearing in that shot, but not the jacket. It might be one of a kind - possibly made by his mother. (I'm pretty sure the infamous blue & gold military jacket was) You can't be the first person to look for it though, so maybe someone knows more than I do? It's a very cool jacket!

    MIKA's MEETING @ GIFFONI is my Favourite one.

     

    I heared many times people asking to an Artist :

    - What is the story of this (or that) your Song?

    - When did you start to sing?

    - What are your Plans for the future?

     

    But I don't remember people asking to an Artist:

    - I have this Trouble in my own Life.

    What is Your Advise for me ?

     

    Mika became a Spiritual Guide, like Dalai Lama.. or a Guru..

     

    Is he aware about it?

    Perhaps not.

     

    This seems to happen every time he does a Q&A, people bring him their problems. It's so sweet indeed :wub:  he always dispenses such good advice and seems to care so much about helping everyone, like on X Factor when he kept trying to diagnose everyone onstage and fix their problems :lmfao: he's so empathetic, it's my favorite thing about him.

    Lollipop question? Ok I can't WAIT to see that. Lmao. That song always makes me laugh because it's like the most badly disguised innuendo ever but when I was 7 it was one of the few songs I would listen to. I must have sounded quite strange when I sung that in the streets lmao. Can't wait for English subs either! I don't really understand Italian at all so I rely on all the MFC for translations all the time- the subtitling team are my saviours. 

     

    I do have a question: 

    what is Giffoni? I'm assuming it's an Italian festival of some kind but why does mika go? 

     

     

    It is hilarious :lmfao: and that bit (and a couple others!) is in English! And I totally agree - the sub team are the very definition of everyday heroes.

    I'm Canadian and I gotta admit, I completely forgot Mika existed until I started watching The Voice France ... Like @ladyolivier said, it's perfectly plausible to live a pop-culture-literate life without knowing Mika. Ever since I re-discovered Mika, I've been trying to promote him amongst my friends and many of them do remember Grace Kelly but had no idea that he continues to make music :doh: They like the songs enough but they forget about it if I don't bring it up. And Mika doesn't appear on any radios, tv shows, or even advertisements so of course they'd easily forget.

     

    I'm really hoping that he promotes his new album effectively. Of course, I think he's kinda in a difficult position. His music is, for a lack of a better word, a peculiar flavour of pop and I'm not sure if the mainstream will accept the sound of his album. This means that he has to promote the style of the album as well as himself which I imagine must be quite difficult.... I hope that sort of makes sense. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't know if US/UK is ready for Mika :blink:

    Well hi everyone. I'm from Italy and of course I noticed (as everbybody else did) that Mika's career is now focusing mainly in my country. I really appreciate that as he does many gigs and events here but I would also like if he could gain in popularity in the other countries. I don't want him to become a worldwide popstar like Adele or Ed Sheeran (let's make it clear: I really like them). From my point of view he is different from all the other singers around: he is not part of the great sensations of the moment and on the other hand we can easily see that he is known almost everywhere, only because of LICM. I think he should invest something to give the US, Canada and the UK another try. He is well known in France, Italy and Pacific Asia, so if he succeded in the US, Canada and the UK his career would take off once again. I really hope he has plans to do it, but if the price is losing his unique features... He shouldn't do that in my opinion.

    :thumb_yello:

     

    Yeah, I have to admit I'd much prefer the situation as it is - Mika is unique and odd and different, but not very well known in some places, to the alternative, which is that his aesthetic and music would be made more mainstream or "watered down" to be more universally appealing. I never like it when that happens, with music or TV or movies or anything - it's so hard to create something which is both amazing and loved by EVERYONE. Most things which no one dislikes are quite bland, and spread themselves too thin trying to ensure that they appeal to everyone while offending no one. One of my favorite TV shows of all time is something called Wolf Hall, which I absolutely loved but which can be best described as a long, slow plod through 16th century politics. It was most certainly a niche tv show, but it didn't shy away from that, and leaned hard into that slow political plod. The result was a show which might only appeal to some people, but was SO GOOD for those people (on that note if you like medieval politics, Watch Wolf hall!). When any art or media - be it a book, movie, music or otherwise, remains true to its creative image and draws whatever audience it gets from that, it always turns out better than when anything tries to cater to everyone. I DO think, however, that the people responsible for mainstream promotion of music under-estimate how successful more unusual artists could be. People like Melanie Martinez are currently enjoying massive success, without ever deviating from their styles. I understand why this is, I get that record companies don't want to take any more risks with their money than they have to, so they sink it into things most likely to experience the most success. But this excludes so many artists who are more unusual but would have MASSIVE success just as they are, if only given the exposure.

    With that said, I have absolutely no concern that Mika would change his music or aesthetic for commercial success. He's said repeatedly how much he dislikes that, and how much he dislikes even that it's been suggested that he should. He has a concrete aesthetic and style which I don't see him ever swaying to appease anyone else. (additionally, if he was going to do something like that, he's had plenty of time and opportunities and hasn't done it, so I am 100% confident in his being true to his style.)

    I definitely agree with you: I've watched every single season of The Voice France from Italy even when Mika was not coach in order to learn French. The truth is that The Voice is a talent show, so people get to know Mika as a coach and not as a singer. It was a good idea to do it, but I agree with his decision to take a break (as he's done with X Factor Italia). Maybe he will have more time to do shows and promos with the upcoming album... Who knows. Still in our countries he is rather well known and there are awsome communities, so I feel very lucky indeed. :biggrin2:

    Voice Watching French Learners high five!  I'm still convinced it's the one of the best language learning shows you could ever watch. The nature of the show means that people are speaking in the same way an every day person would speak, so you get to hear natural speech patterns of the language, and the nature of the show gives tons of familiar context for what's going on even if you don't understand the words. I think I would recommend anyone learning a language to start watching talent shows in that language :lmfao:

    Oh I never thought he was disliked...just sadly not very well known.  I agree though..play more Mika!!!  

    May I ask you where you bought your Mika tee shirt?  I tried to purchase the one on Mikasounds but it is sold out:( I really like the shirt with the "No Place in Heaven" illustration on it.

    The one I have is one from the american leg of the TBWKTM tour - it's the black and white one with his face on it! (the best one of course). It seems like whatever company made/produced those shirts, or maybe Mika's team themselves (marketing people?) had a tremendous surplus of them and for a while they were on e-bay for something like $3 each. I think mine was somewhere between $3 and $4? It was an incredibly lucky find. 

     

    This is exactly the shirt I have in men's and women's!

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Womens-Juniors-Mika-The-Boy-Who-Knew-Too-Much-09-Concert-Tour-Shirt-S-L-/391721432529?var=&hash=item5b346ab5d1:m:mta1sOtUUMTlrM02ZjCLOpQ

     

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Mika-The-Boy-Who-Knew-Too-Much-Concert-Tour-Shirt-New-S-/391766968482?hash=item5b372188a2:g:VG0AAOSwzqFZAUZt

     

    However, I will warn you that at least the women's shirts run very, very small. I am five foot nothing and weigh just under 120 pounds. I'm pretty sure my shirt is a large (no size tag - I might have cut it out actually, I hate tags and usually take them out of shirts so it's very possible I took it out)  and it's veeery snug on me. It fits, but I don't dare run it through the dryer lest it not go over my head anymore! I don't know if the men's shirts run equally small - but bear that in mind if you get one!

     

    (Maybe the shirts being so small is why there were so many - they had a bunch made for the tour, saw how crazily off-size they were and had a different company make them, and warehoused the tiny ones which are now the ones on ebay? idk, either way more shirts for us!)

  11. Another american chiming in: I don't think he's disliked here at all, in fact I'd say he's generally liked by the people who have heard of him. Problem here is, no one has heard of him! I wear a Mika t shirt to school (college) fairly often, and I...might have pictures of him all over my laptop and phone :lmfao: (it's cute and tasteful I promise! :lmfao: ) Point being, I usually have a mika reference somewhere on my person in a building full of 2007 pop-music aged people. I've only ever run into a couple people who know who is: one who's one of my friends who actually really knows him (a rare case) and loves him, and two people who kind of know him and respond in the exact same way: "Isn't he the guy who did the song with Ariana Grande?". If I hear that one more time I might scream! The annoying thing is he's rather invisible in america despite his popularity in Europe. His music is never played on our radio (and I do mean absolutely never. It is used as background music in malls and stores every now and then though - heard Staring at the Sun in my mall and Celebrate being played in a Toys-R-Us) and you cannot find his CDs even on the shelf in most stores which carry CDs and even dedicated music stores like FYE. Basically, it would be possible to live an entire, full and pop-culture-literate life in America and never hear of Mika once. It makes me sad! I've turned a couple people into fans/made them aware of him and everyone I've seen introduced to him at least liked him if not loved him, so I think if people here knew about him more he would be pretty well loved.

     

    Get with it, american radio. Play us more Mika!!

    Every time I see the third jpg for this, all I can think is that they look like they have finally built their long awaited death ray or something?? something about their faces I think but I can't tell what it is

    It was on Instagram 

     

    Your description just made me laugh out loud :lmfao: 

     

    I love all these pictures! I also love the fact that as soon as he started posting the selfies everyone started playing a game of where's waldo on their tv screens :lmfao:  as one of those people I'd like to thank him for wearing that orange shirt. @NaoMika I think you took the best pictures! I love how goofy some of them are :wub2:

  13. OMG, that was absolutely DELIGHTFUL. This is actually the song I suspected when I saw his costume the first time. I'm so happy with this :wub2: I so appreciate that they kept all the weirdness and the bizarre dance moves from the movie. He's not allowed to say he can't dance or act anymore! He did the dancing very well and played the slightly creepy character (and the accent!) wonderfully!

     

    I'm a little giddy :lmfao:
