Mika speaking Chinese .

I found it today on Youtube. 

The Voice 8 is over.

New life starts for.... WHITNEY!!!!!!!!! 

TicketMaster.fr sent me an information about a streaming concert of Sam Smith.

By curiosity I've checked the prices.

So we have a regular ticket for 11,50 EUR.

And then more expensive onces with a poster.

And even veeery expensive onces with the signed poster, a setlist and an access to a rehearsal footage.

Et voila - new ideas are appearing...

 I'm watching some old interviews with Mika. He hasn't changed 

"Gave It All Away" - the song I have in my head all day long today. 💓💓💓

"My name is Michael Holbrook I was born on 1983"....

Just listen and listen and listen and listen.....

9 seconds of heaven

Hey Mika fans.

Prepare your photos eating ice cream, memes or any other things concerning "ICE CREAM"  to post them

We want to make a buzz in social medias.

BTW: I think that "Ice Cream" can be a good song on a concert to through our pompoms on the stage

"My middle name is Holbrook"...

Is this the first interview where he mentions it?

I returned to read old Mika's articles for XL Pop Up column and I am on the "My Family and Other Animals".

It's about holidays. I think Mika told this story even with more details at one of his gigs. 

Enjoy and relax during this hot hot hot day of holidays (for some of you) . 

"Once upon a time there was a boy who was angry with everyone and everything around him. So angry, that one night he decided to run away. Whilst preparing his bag to leave home he thought about what he would need. He packed his clothes but then his books and games. Fearing discomfort he packed his bed. Fearing loneliness he packed his dog. Worried about what he would do with his clothes once they were dirty, he packed his mother, who in turn packed their washing machine and her daughter, his little sister. She, then packed their father, who in turn packed his desk, television and his favourite armchair. Not to be outdone, his mother then packed her dressing table, her curling irons and her set of knives. She also suggested to the father that he pack the barbecue. The boy stood and looked at his now empty house and saw his favourite apple tree, alone in the garden and he felt sad. So he took that too. In the end the boy ran away from home but without knowing it he took all of it with him. Except for the gold fish. Everyone always forgets the bloody gold fish, he died. This is my life.

The idea for my holiday this year was a pretty normal one. To get into a car from London and drive through France and Italy, stopping in various places along the way. The only unusual thing about my trip is that I took my whole family with me, all 18 of them, and not only that, but my Dog came too as well as a few friends, my goddaughter, her parents, my grandmother, her nanny (I’ll come back to that) and of course a couple spouses and partners. The grand total? 26 people, 8 cars, 48 suitcases, 1 dog bed and a Magi-mix (for the dog). The story about the boy, is one that I used to read often as a child. Clearly it had more of an influence on me than anyone could have predicted.

To be fair, of all the places we have been in this enormous group, Italy has been the most welcoming and un-afraid of my Godzilla sized family. In France, I couldn’t help but feel like we were as welcome as a barbarian invasion. The only Barbarian in the group to be fair is my grandmother. Although she is more like a Trojan Horse. She enters a room with a coy smile and hobbles with her walking stick, as slow as possible so as to maximise exposure. Slow movement is one of the more refined weapons in her arsenal. As soon as the stranger, often a waiter, is out of site, she accelerates like a lizard in the sun, devilishly cruel and funny in equal measure. This time round I decided to temper this duality with a professional nanny. So I hired a trusted, former Soviet Block drill sergeant to keep her in check, it has worked a miracle.

Looking back on my trip and all the places we have gone to, I realise now that I did something that is extremely Italian. I displaced myself for the summer and brought almost a whole town with me. However the way we did it was very Lebanese. Where as other more sensible groups would have travelled in a coach with a guide, we all wanted to feel independent and free. However, we all wanted to be together all the time and we all wanted to have whatever the other had. You cannot imagine the scene we caused when we would descend upon a small gas station or invade a local coffee shop, demanding espressos, all at the same time. The dog: water; the granny: a toilet; the aunties: space; the walking sticks (three by the end of the trip): always left behind; the secret smokers: behind a bush; the secret eaters: also behind a bush; the under eaters; the over eaters. We were a moving tornado of functional anarchy. What we lost in organisation and calm we gained in joy and that was worth far more. Did I mention the best part of it all? Out of our army of 26, there was only one person who actually spoke Italian and that was me. I am Lebanese, French, American, English and after this trip I can’t help but feel like I have become a little Italian also."

ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!!

A compilation of Mika's writings for XL Repubblica

Hi everybody,

in my previous post we were talking about Mika's articles written for XL Repubblica.

I wanted to put them together to read as a book. As @Ellys had the same idea, she compiled them in an PDF file to print them.

I am sharing it with you as I hope there are more fans (older and newbies) willing to read Mika's thoughts and opinions.

23 articles : 16 in English and 7 in Italian.

If we find some more or translations from Italian into English we will update the file.

Let's consider this compilation as Mika's unreleased book  Better this than nothing 

Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Below links to the Forum threads for those of you  who would like to digg in for more details and conversations.

A new Mika song called "Hello From The Studio".

What do you think?

All I am dreaming is....

And some time ago I made as well a cover of Sia's  "Titanum" . I love her voice and her songs!

As it's the 14th of February I have to post this video from Strasbourg 2020. My best St Valentin's day - which I never celebrate - but you can't resist when you hear this:

Mika: " You are my reward for all s**tty 14th of February of my life"

At last I recorded a cover that I can present you.

It was hard because the app StarMaker was not working well on my mobile. And I think my built-in mic is not good for it.

So I used a separated mic and a music played from speakers.

It sounds rather a duo than a karaoke version, but it sounds much better than via StarMaker.

This is "Over My Sholder" song.

No images because I think this song is better when you just listen with your eyes closed  Just mp3.

over my shoulder cover Anna Ko.mp3

Hallelujah cover....

Yesterday while exploring youtube I stumbled on Leonard Cohen song Hallelujah. I always wanted to sing it but Cohen's voice is too lowfor me.

And yesterday I discovered Alexandra Bruke's version which in in my register. I was soooo happy that at once I recorded it.

Well saying "at once" does not mean "only once"   A cat running through the room, some noises recorded by the mic..... it took several takes ...

At last I had my more or less satisfying version. 

I added some photos made by myself (in the past, not yesterday  )

Happy New Year Mika fans
