  1. I'm watching the European Figure Skating Championships this week, it's in Kaunas and the DJ in the arena is always playing a song after each skate to fill the "break" as usual. Yesterday during the men's final, I suddenly heard a very familiar tune and the most beautiful voice started singing the words "is it really necessary every single day...". I was so happy and started singing for myself at home because it's really rare to hear Rain somewhere and I love the song! Later he also played Relax. Good music taste!
  2. I saw people ranking the songs so I wanted to share my personal current ranking after being addicted to the album for 5 days: 1. Je Sais Que Je T'aime 2. Moi, Andy Et Paris 3. Passager 4. Bougez 5. Jane Birkin (grew on me a lot lately) 6. 30 Secondes (this one also) 7. Touche Touche (used to be in my top 5 but I guess now I prefer JB and 30s) 8. Apocalypse Calypso (from 8. to 10., it's pretty even to me tbh) 9. Amour Pirate 10. Doucement 11. C'est La Vie (I'm really sorry, I like the "EMD" bridge but otherwise, it's not my cup of tea musically) 12. Sweetie Banana (it's not bad but tbh, I do skip it sometimes also after Lollipop and Ice Cream... I don't trust Mika singing about bananas If that makes me go to the NC, it's all Mika's fault.) It's still impressive that I like all the songs in the top 10, only the last two I skip sometimes when I'm listening multiple times... I think that's great considering it's a French album.
  3. Thank you, I'll definitely use it! I need this kind of alternative lyrics for all the songs.
  4. The album is so good! I shouldn't be surprised but my expectations were quite low to be honest, I didn't like the first singles that much and even though I don't mind a few French songs, I've never listened to a French album before. I thought I will only enjoy a few songs but it's really growing on me, I can't stop listening to it since yesterday and the songs are getting better. That's so unexpected for me, but it seems the Mika magic it's there, even though I don't understand most of the lyrics. I'm also really grateful Mika did these reels about each song so I get the meaning a bit better, it makes it easier to get an idea about the songs.
  5. Bougez officially made it from one of my least favourite songs to my top 5!
  6. Same but I think I will end up buying it anyway I really like the artwork and there are a couple of great songs I do enjoy even without understanding the lyrics (or at least most of them). can relate I see most of us share the same favourite songs, so far I like Je sais que je t'aime, Moi, Andy et Paris and Passager the most. Touche Touche is my favourite upbeat song. The second half of the album is really strong. As usual, the singles are some of my lesser favourites...
  7. Tbh, I didn't like the song at first but I have to admit it grew on me a lot and now I'm starting to enjoy it. It's not my favourite one but a really good opener. And I think it will be great live!

  9. I really like this song, it has a different vibe than most of the other songs, less upbeat, more calm and dreamy.
  10. That's my favourite part of the snippet! This song sounds very catchy, it's probaby not the deepest one on the album lyrically, but I think I will enjoy it because you don't need to understand the lyrics to dance to it. Also, it would make a good single imo. It's already stuck in my head.
  11. There's a Mika for everyone...

  12. Czech music website informing about Mika's new French album: https://musicserver.cz/clanek/72144/mika-nahral-sve-prvni-francouzsky-zpivane-album/ They are also mentioning Mêlée des Chœurs and the Rugby World Cup performance. (Although it's a bit of a stretch to write that besides English, French and Italian, he also speaks Spanish... )
  13. I don't speak French but it's the same in Spanish. So it's probably common for all Romance languages. Actually, now when I'm thinking about it, even in Czech you would say "give me your hand" without "your" (sounds very strange with it, you usually only have your own hands anyway, it's also a common mistake in translations from English/German) so maybe it's rather something typical for Germanic languages. (Sorry, I studied linguistic and translation so I always think too much about these things... )
