It's the Roman Catholic Church that causes most of the problems. Not just with the Gay issues, but with things like equality for women. They didn't like the fact that Mary Magdalene had a big part in Jesus's ministry, so they called her a prostitute (which she wasn't) to slur her name.

The church is huge in Italy, but thankfully, not so much in the UK now, but the RC church has a lot to answer for.

I wish things were different. 

It's weird because I'm Catholic (I'm not preaching, I promise ) and the whole gay rights thing doesn't bother me. I'm all for supporting it, and the same goes for a lot of Catholics in New Zealand. My Religious Studies teacher at school is a Catholic nun and she supports gay rights. I think it must be a cultural thing for Italy as well because of the influence the church has had for ages. When there was the Synod of the Family, and there was discussion for gay rights, I know that the Cardinal for New Zealand wanted to encourage gay rights within the church. The Catholic church that I know in New Zealand is definitely becoming more supportive and open. 

Gay marriage is legal in New Zealand as well, we were also named 2nd most Gay Friendly country by Lonely Planet Guide 

The Land of the Long White Cloud has long been lauded for its inclusive and progressive behaviour toward the LGBTQ community. In 1998 New Zealand was the first nation to adopt the label of ‘Gay/Lesbian Friendly’ when referring to businesses and accommodation – an initiative now recognised globally. The country offers a brilliant network of gay- and lesbian-friendly homestays which run the length and breadth of the country from the top of the semi-tropical North Island to the depths of the glacial South. Since passing same-sex marriage laws in 2013, New Zealand has actively promoted same-sex marriage tourism to the likes of Australia and other Pacific nations where equality laws are less progressive.

MIKA JUST COME TO NEW ZEALAND  ALREADY!!!   

Does anyone think he will ever do a COMPLETE World Tour? (It's thing with Australia and New Zealand that singers who do World Tours don't come here.... Ricky Martin did come though (he was my childhood ) and I got to see his concert it was amazing btw)

i just stumbled on a page of Doctor Who smilies that might come in handy here:

The face of Boe smilie is creepy  

Also, Does Mika ever come on the fanclub? If he does, imagine if he came across this thread and watched you guys!!!!

So, this really isn't perfection or anything, please excuse myaccidental pause in the middle and bum note!!!

I was just so excited and inspired, I wanted to show you guys SOMETHING!!! I chose this song because I just love it and I can't stop singing it!!!

Hope you enjoy it anyways and that I did it justice!!! I'll be more professional next time haha but I tried my best. This is my first time ever recording something never mind posting it and it was the first take hahaha!!!

GUYS, I realised y'all couldn't see it, so I edited it to a new link that I set as anyone can view :*

It should work now!!!

 

I actually can't stop watching this, it's so embarassing. I know it's complete sh*t compared to his version but I just wanted to give you a taster of my voice. I'm better than this, I swear XD!!!

You have an amazing voice It makes me feel fuzzy You've done a great cover, PLEASE PLEASE do more

Thank you extremely for this, it is very helpful to me !!!

Omg guys, I cannot tell you how frikkin NERVOUS and SCARED and STRESSED it makes me thinking about when I audition for the French voice, (which I'll do if he doesn't come to the UK) because, naturally I want him as my coach, genuinely not just kuz I love him but because he is a musical genius and I believe he could help me get the best out of my voice and just help me expand so much in skill and talent, especially if his voice is anything to go by. I just know he would have so much knowledge, wissom and advice. I mean yes, we would get on like a house on fire, but that's not the main reason XD!!! What if my voice isn't different or unique, I can just sing exceptionally, what then, is that enough to make him turn ?! Eek!!!

Now that would be awesome if you decided to join the Voice!

 

Just imagine that he would be the only one not to turn! Eek!

Or, think positively, What if he is the only one to turn around and you become the next Kendji ?

Okay , Here we go Stromae fans/or just a people who like him.

I AM NOT a fan , but enjoy his music and I think that he's just GENIUS   

let's talk, which songs do you like most, why and so onnn. 

so come on its a STROMAE time 

I've only recently become a fan of his I heard some of his songs on the Voice France but I started listening to his music properly at the beginning of last year My auntie bought me Racine Carree as a gift for my birthday

or New Zealand Do you think I could try email radios to play his music?

who do you think should be the next companion?

Here is a badly scanned picture of a painting I made with my friend. I translated the song title into Maori because I wanted to do some fanart that was somehow different.

As the starter of this topic i would like to show one of my talent too ...

I sing and i wanted to know if somebody would like me to sing à specific song ?

ANY MIKA SONG! It'll be great

i'll be going to France at the end of the year so i'm hoping there will be a concert when I go 

Happy Late Welcome     

Has anyone mentioned that the actor Eddie Redmayne wore Mika's suit to the premiere of The Danish Girl? 

I think they're wearing a Valentino suit, not sure but I'm fangirling because this just makes me like Eddie Redmayne more!!! 

This will look rubbish in comparison to all the beautiful and genius things you guys have made, but here's a badly scanned picture of a painting my friend and I made of a Mika song. I translated the title into Maori and I wanted to incorporate some Maori and New Zealand culture into it. It's become a lot more blurry and pale in the scanned version sorry  

Has anyone watched "What We Do In The Shadows"?

After many months I'm listening again TBWKTM and Rain right now and OMG, many memories come to my mind. That Mika *sigh* has changed so much to me 

Hopefully it's progress 

I completely forgot about this because it happened before I joined the MFC but early last year when the Voice Australia auditions were shown on TV (New Zealand doesn't have a kiwi version of the Voice so we watch Australia's) one guy sang Grace Kelly for his blind audition and the producers even got MIKA TO SAY GOOD LUCK IN A VIDEO!!! My sister and I were screaming for the judges to turn but they didn't He did perform really well though and he was a good singer

I was doing some trolling on the internet on the website for the national newspaper for New Zealand and I found a few articles that involved Mika. This article is from July 2, 2011 so it's quite old sorry. I hope that I am allowed to put this up 

The article itself is actually really interesting, it talks about men in classical music and the history of countertenors and altos.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10735748

"But the best pop exponent of the art of falsetto, Purefoy argues, is English star Mika, who, not coincidentally, trained as a classical singer.

Some modern countertenors have taken the art to another level. Close your eyes and listen to guys like David Daniels or Jaroussky singing alongside a soprano today and you struggle to distinguish who is female.

Countertenors like Mika and others in the classical scene still sound like men singing like women. Then there are the few who "sound just plain weird - it's an unnatural sound," comments Purefoy."

I think it's meant to be a compliment because he's saying Mika doesn't sound "plain weird" 

Sir Mix A Lot's song Baby Got Back... may I add that it's not from my own free will that I'm listening to this, it's my friend controlling the music. I just think about the time Mika said the beginning of the song in that interview oh wait he's changed the music to Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem) by Jay Z

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

that was a brilliant cover I love it and you're a wonderful singer and piano player please do more covers!!!

I did a painting of Oh Girl You're the Devil but I don't know if it's good enough to put up

I'd like to think I'd be mysterious and cool but I'm 100% sure I would just cry. Nothing else. Just. Cry. I would probably not even say anything. I'd be crying too much
