I recently watched this video about Mika, I guess it pretty much sum up the reasons why I love Mika
His music is absolutely amazing.I guess I can't describe his music using words..it's just spectacular
Here I would like to share some qualities that I've seen in Mika which makes him a special star, just like a magician, rather than a musician.
Mika is never rigid...He allows varieties of possibilities flowing freely, just like how he described his clothes, there's combination of colours, some fun elements (sense of humor as he described) within a supposedly formal and traditional coat. Similarly, his songs are often combination of acoustic and pop, catchy melody and "almost disturbing lyrics" (as how he described in the video)...these make his songs very energetic, special and fun, yet can be melancholic simultaneously. that's truly amazing!! It somehow resembles a real person, with combination of all sorts of emotions..
Mika also pointed out his view about how to be flexible and live happily in reality. In life, there are too many expectations which could not be fulfilled all the time. It is important for us to recognize what are our expectations and whether these expectations are realistic and feasible. We tend to mix up ideal world vs reality. Ideally, Mika would like to be a pure musician, but in reality, he knows that life is never to be as dull as pure black or white. Hence, we see his flexibility which he learn to live with these happily by enjoying the little fun whenever he could appreciate.. and the best part is, he created the fun whenever it's possible!!
He enjoys the moments and dynamics between his team members, with people around him, his students from singing competition, his friends and family, and the audience...Us, his fans..I feel really touched and that's the main reason why I love him. Just like how he described, we as his fans, from all over the world, regardless of our religions, countries, races, are able to gather and let down all the defenses, to share the love and enjoying his music.. That's sincere and lovely..pure magic...
Here I attached the link of this video...
Hope all of you enjoy it.
Have a nice day
Lotsa love,
