I've just heard this song on the radio and had to think of Mika's great cover... 

Youtube just recommended to me this video I've seen years ago because the algorithm knows I need a good laugh right now...

It's so much fun! 

It took me a while but now I kind of appreciate Mika's decision to cancel his tour instead of just postponing it. Last year I bought a ticket for a concert that should have took place in March 2020. Today I've realized that the concert was postponed again from March 2021 to March 2022. It feels ridiculous and even though I understand the company, I would prefer a cancellation at this point. 

Recently I discovered this page thanks to my Spanish classes, it's called Lyrics Training and you can practice different languages by filling song lyrics while listening to the music video. I use it for Spanish but today I discovered there are also some songs by Mika... I guess it would be a good tool for him to revise his own lyrics before the next tour (without the audio of course). 

I must confess I have a new favourite singer lately... 

His name is Tico and he is a parrot.  I love to watch him while writing my diploma thesis. 

I know it's the anniversary of the explosion in Beirut today but I really needed to hear Mika's voice right now...  I was so nervous and stressed out because in 24 hours I'm travelling for the first time since the pandemic started and of course I'm excited but at the same time, I felt overwhelmed because there are so many things you have to take care of nowadays. For a moment I lost the joy and felt horrible. Hearing Mika singing Heroes calmed me down and brought me to tears but in a good way. I feel so much better now, Mika's soft voice really is the best tranquilizer in the world.

There's a Mika for everyone...

Mika and Amira 

This made my day.
