Thank you for the link, this version is awesome

In French?? That is even more weird.... unless it was written by Doriand 

The original being written in French? Really?? Now, that's something I don't understand, if it's true. It wouldn't make any sense. Not that I was expecting him to write it in Italian, but I surely was expecting it to be in English first and then translated to Italian, French and what not. He doesn't even write songs in French by himself, why would he write a whole book? Even if he's being helped by someone, again, why? He's said more than once that this book is kinda ruining his life, why make it even harder by writing it in a language he doesn't completely master?

I know I'm really suprised, I was expecting it to be in English as well... We still have a couple of months to investigate about that

Ok so I wrote to JC Lattès (the editor) an hour ago and I already have a reply, I'm impressed!  
I asked them about the release date and if it was written in french or if it was a translation and here was their answer:

«En effet, le livre de Mika a été reporté jusqu’à nouvel ordre. L’ouvrage n’a pas pu être terminé à temps et il sera donc décalé soit en fin d’année 2016 soit début 2017. L’original est écrit en français mais aucune date n’est encore fixée pour sa sortie.»

Quick translation: the release has been put off until further notice. The book was not finished on time so it will be delayed to the end of 2016 or the beginning of 2017. The original version is written in french but no date is set for its release yet.

I guess we have our answer
 

I keep thinking this is so weird, though. The book was commissioned (is that the right word?) by an Italian publishing house, so the most logic conclusion to me is that the book should be released here first, or at least at the same time as in France, but I don't think there's such news here about the book coming out in just 3 weeks. I'm not really following how this thing is going, though, therefore if there's something I don't know, please do tell me. However, I think news like that wouldn't go unnoticed among fans and if this book is really coming out in 3 weeks, it's about time to get some official info about it, which we don't have yet.

Yes it really is weird... Amazon.ca added it a couple days ago. The book (in french) is currently unavailable but the release date is May 18 as well.. https://www.amazon.ca/JOURNAL-DUN-OPTIMISTE-ACCIDENTEL-MIKA/dp/2709656213/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461620122&sr=8-1&keywords=journal+d%27un+optimiste+accidentel

I would like to now in which language he wrote it, because that's the version I want to read, not a translation.   

There are many theories about Jon's parents, but one is more commonly accepted by the fans

I'm definitely excited!  

Jon getting stabbed is where the books left off... so none of us know for sure what's going to happen next. However, if you remember in the third season, we met Thoros of Myr, a red priest, who resurrected Beric Dondarrian after The Hound killed him. So... there are possibilities. 

I also believe 100% in the L+R=J theory, and something in the trailer has made me think they'll reveal that this season, but I don't want to risk spoiling anything, and I could be wrong. 

That's the thing, we can always be wrong with this show haha! I haven't seen the trailler, but I hope you're right, it seems like I've been waiting for that moment for ages!   

Don't know if you have seen the theory about Jon's parent but I truly believe in it which makes me sure that he can't be out of the show ^^

Hahaha yes I've seen it, we'll see! I was a bit disappointed by the last season, I hope this one will be as good as the previous ones

Well maybe I've got too much hope but I'm pretty sure Jon Snow is dead BUT he is going to come back in a way or another! But if he doesn't well I join the WhiteWalker team with you x)

Love your anthem by the way!

 

 

Also think this is one of the best tv show ever. I'm rewatching all the 5 season before season 6! In France the first episode of the season 6 is going to be able only April 25th.. going to turn off the Internet during a day so to avoid spoil ^^

Jon Snow HAS to come back! They didn't burn him, so maybe he'll come back as a white Walker, which means I will definitely be in the white Walker team haha

The flute. And I'm usually not the showoff, but I have to say it. I know Luka's sister. She's my classmate

ooooh so now she's your classmate, but she'll become your friend, and then you'll go to her home and Luka will be there and he will introduce you to Stjepan and they will play just for you and life would be beautiful   

Heya, I'm still here

Good to know another musician is here

YAY  

What instrument do you play?

I was so in love with them at first that I bought their first cd along with the scores.. Some songs are so freaking hard to play!!   

I really really like Tamara. She reminds me to Elodie who I loved very much.

It's true, she does have something in common with Élodie.. I heard Tamara singing in the metro the other day, when I first heard the voice without seeing the singer, I was sure it was her, no one else can sing like that! I had a bad day and she made it all better, we can hear so many beautiful things in her voice

So surprised to find a thread about 2Cellos here! They are amazing   Playing the cello myself, I like the fact that they are showing to everyone that cello isn't just for classical music. I hope there are still some fans of 2Cellos among MFC in 2016 haha

Mika - Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes (Paul Simon cover)

 

ORIGINAL

 

 

Love this cover, thank you

 

I wish they'll use that show to talk about an upcoming gig.

Yes, that would be so great  

You could try, but if it's like Star Academie, which was in the same building, before the show, he is busy rehearsing (we could actually hear it all ), and after, there was a party, so he didn't come out early. It's in the middle of nowhere & it was freezing!  I'm actually skipping this one. I can't justify spending $82.20 on 2 or 3 songs, sang with other people, considering i didn't watch the show at all this year. I have no clue who the contestants are. I'll wait for a proper concert

 

At Star Academie, it was easy to see where his car was parked/going to park because they placed a wooden sign that said "MIKA" on it lol

Haha yes I didn't know it was 80$, but when I saw that I changed my mind and decided to wait! But thank you for your answer

Hi Natalia! Yes I think a lot of people here will understand why you started studying Italian (me included haha)

That's very cool! There is something I would like to give to Mika. I thought I would have to wait a looong time to have an opportunity to do so! Do you think it could be possible to see him before the show? Or maybe drop it at the studio? I'm not looking for an answer from him, I just want to make sure he actually gets it

Hey!

 

Une amie 

 

I'm Catherine, from Montréal but born and raised in Quebec City. 

 

Bienvenue et n'hésite pas à me faire signe si tu as des questions!

Merci c'est super gentil

Hiiii !!!! I LOVE CANADA ! Is my favorite country! ❤

Really? What do you like about Canada? I haven't traveled much so I cannot really compare countries

Anyone here thinks it's very cool that Mika mentionned Rufus in Good Guys?

I'm new here, so I decide to go check the canadian thread. I go straight to the last page, and all I see are comments about bagged milk... You guys are awesome hahaha

I'm trying to find someone to teach me'cause i have some deaf friend but they just don't have the time to teach me LSF ;-)

Well sorry it can't be me haha But you should, it's really fun to learn

Hi! Welcome on MFC ! Hope you will have a lot of fun here ! Don't worry, it' s the same for me ! No one understand why I like Mika so much, they just think i am crazy

But crazy good right?

I really hope this will work for you, Mika with an orchestra is amazing

Frenchfan84, LSQ isn't the same thing as LSF. I know that some signs are the same in American sign language, so it's probably the same thing for LSF too. Do you know LSF?

Sara09, I have almost listen to anything else but that cd since I got it

Nice to meet you all

Hi everyone!

I live in Québec (Canada), my first language is French but I also speak English, and I know a bit of Spanish and Quebec Sign Language.

I discovered Mika very recently, while watching The Voice. I really liked what I saw, so I decided to Google him up and learn more about him. What an awesome human being! I am now a fan

I'm really sad I didn't know him when he did his symphonic concert in Montréal, I bought the cd and it's just amazing - can't imagine what it would have been like to be there!

None of my friends/family understand my obsession, so here I am haha
