  1. As Camille Lelouche has already two girls in her team the first battle took place.

     

    Eleen vs Julia

     

    Camille chose Eleen. So she will continue her way in the programme.

    I don't know if she will compete with the next talent saved by Camille or two new candidates will "fight" between them.

    We will see.

     

    Here is the link to the second episode of The Voice - Comeback with the coaching and the battle.

    So the score for 2 episodes:

    Mika 5

    Zazie 5 - correction 4

    Vianney 5

    Bigflo et Oli 3

     

    Camille 2

     

    I think today they mixed several recordings. I was not at the fourth day and today there are two last performances that I haven't seen.

    Winter training before the tour begins! First time on the ice since I was a kid!

     

     

     

    Only today I realized that the music in the background is Jane Birkin. Is it a coincidence?

     

    Well, today's video from London sounds like Sweetie Banana :lol3:

    Well, I already expressed my point of view on Instagram under Mika's post.

    I boycott McDonald . (I have been  boycotting Israeli products in Poland for years already.)

     

    But I just wonder how many junk food meals people have to buy to get a prize like a concert ticket or a dinner with Mika?

     

    And then the intro on the tour gigs starts with: "pour votre sante bougez plus" :lmao: What an irony...

    IFMCA Award Nominations 2023

     

    MIKA is in the list of nominees for the 20th annual IFMCA Awards. :thumb_yello:

     

    INTERNATIONAL FILM MUSIC CRITICS ASSOCIATION AWARDS NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED

    http://filmmusiccritics.org/2024/02/ifmca-award-nominations-2023/

     

    BREAKTHROUGH COMPOSER OF THE YEAR

    • SHERRI CHUNG
    • PAWEŁ LUCEWICZ
    • MICHAEL “MIKA” PENNIMAN JR.
    • ŁUKASZ “L.U.C” ROSTKOWSKI
    • COREY WALLACE

    Each year the IFMCA makes special efforts to recognize emerging talent in the film music world, and this year is no exception. The nominees in the Breakthrough Composer of the Year category are a diverse group, spanning continents and styles. American composer Sherri Chung, having spent years writing additional music for numerous WB super-hero TV series, broke out in her own right in 2023 with several projects, the most acclaimed of which was her outstanding music for the HBO Max animated series Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai. French composer Michael “Mika” Penniman Jr. successfully made the difficult jump from pop music to film music with his excellent score for the action/adventure Princes of the Desert, and American composer Corey Wallace – who has been writing music for low-budget features and short films for nearly 20 years – finally got his breakout this year with his superb, traditional orchestral adventure score for the tornado disaster movie Supercell.

     

    The International Film Music Critics Association will announce the winners of the 20th IFMCA Awards LIVE on the IFMCA YouTube channel on February 22, 2024.

    It's great that critics value his music so high!!!!!!!!

    And I am proud as well seeing two Polish names on the list :wink2:

     

    And Mika was mentioned as MICHAEL “MIKA” PENNIMAN JR.

       This implies that Mika has seen the Disney movie Up. But maybe he wasn't watching properly because it's a house with balloons attached not a piano! :lol3:

     

    I think Mika related to Harry's face . He looks like the old man from the movie Up. So if you see him you can think about balloons as well even if the image from the movie might be different.

  8. Before the first episode of The Voice in two days you can now start watching Camille Lelouche in The Voice Comeback (you need a VPN).

     

    Camille will "steal" talents which haven't gone further but she thinks they should stay and at the end she will keep only one which will enter the final.

    So her way is completely separated from other coachs. She is even not allowed to meet them backstage.

     

    Camille took part of the 4th season of The Voice in 2015 ans she started in Mika's team.

  9. Today something different.

    Vianney posted a video where coachs are watching a TikToker Matthieu Bobard Delire comments the outfits of the stars presented on NRJ Music Awards 2023 (10th of November 2023 in Cannes).

    All 5 coach were there and here we are:

    Mika 7/10, Zazie 6/10, BigFlo et Oli 4/10, and Vianney - with no comment - just 3.

    Feels like fire doesn't have an apocalyptic vibe to me, it's very soft and tender.

     Ha ha ha. I mean the apocalyptic "Mika" vibes.

    Apocalypse Calypso is soft as well and very sensual - like Feels Like Fire.

     

    Let's compare:

     

    Your love feels like fire   

     

    vs   

    On s'embrasse dans les flammes

    ...........................................................................

     

    Love
    Feels like fire (Umlilo)
    Warms my heart and takes me higher (Uya vutha umlilo mlilo)
    The walls
    What are they for (Umlilo)
    Hold me tight and never let me go

     

    vs

     

    Tant que l'on s'enlace, on existe
    On se rend immortels devant l'apocalypse
    En faisant l'amour, on résiste
    Regarde-moi, prends-moi la main

     

    ..........................................................................

     

     

    And if all this dust should fall upon my skin
    Would it even it at all
    Just let me in
    And I don't care if the world can see
    From the desert to the ocean
    Then let it all pour down on me

     

    vs 

     

    Ma bouche, ton dos
    Sensuel à mort
    Nos cœurs accros

    Quoi qu'ils en pensent
    Des conséquences
    Tes fesses, elles dansent
    ............................................................................

     

    For me it's a very similar feeling and vibes.

    What is beautiful it's a mix. This lack of borders between different languages. ... Yesterday we were recording via Zoom with Johannesburg. For this tour. With French songs, I would say with French pop, with English, with this touch of Africa, a little bit of Middle East... This idea that we can travel, we can cancel borders to arrive to something which unites us easily  on the artistic and musical level.

    And I wonder if it means that we will hear Feels Like Fire and Promisland!!!!!

    Both songs have a apocalyptic vibes.

    Do you have a little scoop for us? What are you preparing?


    When we talk about the apocalypse, it might sound super dramatic, but no. It’s done in a very concept pop way. It's a 'concert concept', there's a whole story. And this idea that if it's the apocalypse, what would you do?

     

    I don't know why this text is not the entire interview...

     

    At the end Mika enters much deep in the details about the new show.

     

    "I will start to tell you more about the show. Because it's at the same time very simple and very ambitious.

    This show has been built to give energy to the audience. And emotions.

    It makes you laugh, it makes you dance, it makes you cry. It's about life, it's about a concept of apocalypse. 

    When we talk about the apocalypse it can be super dramatic, but no. It's made in a way of a pop concept.

    It's a "concept concert". There is a beginning, a middle and an end. There is a whole story.

    If this is the apocalypse what does it mean in different meanings, different words.

    What would you do? It's a sort of pop electro reminding the movie "Don't Look Up". 

     

    Question: But it has a happy ending, right?

     

    It's ending in.... I don't want to tell you everything, but it ends up with a tear.

    And then with a beauty and a renaissance.

     

    Question: And there will be a lot of French songs? Your last album is totally in French.

     

    What is beautiful it's a mix. This lack of borders between different languages. ... Yesterday we were recording via Zoom with Johannesburg. For this tour. With French songs, I would say with French pop, with English, with this touch of Africa, a little bit of Middle East...

    Mika de retour dans The Voice : "En France, c'est le seul pays au monde où les talents ont eu des grandes carrières"
     
    The Voice entame sa 13e saison sur TF1 samedi avec Mika, Zazie, Vianney, BigFlo et Oli comme coachs. À quelques jours du lancement de sa tournée européenne, le chanteur des tubes "Love today" et "Elle me dit" retrouve son fauteuil rouge de coach dans l'émission de TF1.

     

    C’est en 2007 qu’avec son premier album Life in Cartoon Motion, l’auteur, compositeur et interprète atypique, Mika se fait connaître du grand public. Depuis, il a arpenté les scènes du monde entier, offrant six albums studio dont le dernier Que ta tête fleurisse toujours intégralement composé de chansons en français. Parallèlement à cela, il est connu pour être un des coachs emblématiques de l’émission The Voice sur TF1. Après avoir quitté le show en 2019, même s’il y a fait quelques apparitions depuis, il se rassoit sur un des fauteuils rouges, samedi 10 février à 21h10 pour la saison 13, entouré de Zazie, Vianney, BigFlo et Oli.

     

    franceinfo : Vous étiez revenu pour l'édition anniversaire des dix ans en 2021 et puis pour une soirée seulement l'année dernière. Alors pourquoi avez-vous arrêté et pourquoi revenez-vous dans The Voice ?

     

    Mika : Parce qu'il faut arrêter ! C'est super important parce que si on fait quelque chose d'une manière trop récurrente, on ne peut pas changer. Et c'est important de changer. C'est important d'évoluer. C'est important d'ouvrir de nouvelles portes en soi-même. Quand les gens disent par gentillesse et par amour, souvent, "Ne change pas", je réponds : mais non, il faut toujours changer.

     

    Vous n'êtes plus le même coach qu'avant ?

     

    J'ai changé sans faire semblant d'être quelqu'un de différent, pour vraiment ne pas penser à ce que les gens pensent de moi. Il faut être complètement libéré de ça. Il faut s'en aller, peut-être, pour revenir. J'aime bien faire plein de choses et si j'ai le droit de faire beaucoup de choses, mes concerts, écrire, dessiner, m'exprimer et aussi faire de la télévision pour le grand public... J'adore, parce que faire de la télévision pour le grand public, faire un album, faire aussi des projets philharmoniques avec la Philharmonie de Paris, tout ça peut coexister, ça peut cohabiter.

     

    Vous serez pour cette saison aux côtés de Zazie, Vianney, BigFlo et Oli. Zazie et Vianney, vous les connaissiez, mais les deux frères ?

     

    Je ne les connaissais pas du tout. Je les avais rencontrés une ou deux fois quand j'ai fait le super coach l’année derrière, mais je n'avais pas vraiment compris qui ils étaient. Et là, franchement, c'est une grande découverte. Le début d'une amitié même.

     

    Si vous aviez un mot, un adjectif pour définir chacun d'entre eux.

     

    Je trouve que Zazie est vraiment en paix avec elle-même et ça lui permet d'avoir encore plus d'empathie sans être banale. Elle est empathique, elle est intelligente, elle est pointue et c'est super, ça donne une énergie positive et généreuse, énorme. Les meilleurs moments de Vianney, c'est quand il s'oublie. Quand il oublie qu'il est en train d'être filmé et là, il commence à parler comme le geek dans le studio. Et ça, c'est charmant parce qu'on voit vraiment le rêveur ambitieux qu'il est. BigFlo et Oli, c'est difficile parce qu'il faut les séparer. Une complicité de frère très touchante. Toute l'émotion qui émane d'eux vient de la complicité et de l'amour qu'ils se portent. Ça permet à BigFlo d'être le comique, le comédien, de prendre la scène, mais en même temps, il n'aime pas la lumière. C'est pour ça que ça marche. Oli, c'est plutôt le cœur, un peu plus silencieux, c'est plutôt l'émotion. Ensemble, ils sont très complémentaires.

     

    Pourquoi un talent vous choisit-il ? Que vient-on chercher avec vous ?

     

    Je me pose toujours cette question parce que la plupart du temps, je les fais pleurer dans les coachings !

     

    Vous êtes dur ?

     

    Non, je ne suis pas dur, mais je dis qu'il ne faut pas gaspiller cette opportunité. Ils arrivent et il ne faut pas tomber dans le piège de faire de la télévision. S'ils ne font que de la télé, ils ne vont pas penser à construire une carrière et ils vont le regretter pour le reste de leur vie.

    "C'est ce truc magique, une petite performance, une petite audition qui peut changer ta vie. Avec The Voice en France, c'est concret, c'est vrai."

    Vous, vous avez changé la vie de Kendji Girac parce qu'il était dans votre équipe. Il a gagné. Aujourd'hui, c'est une star. Vous sentez-vous une responsabilité particulière ?

     

    Une responsabilité, non. Je suis heureux. The Voice en France, c'est le seul pays au monde où les talents ont eu des grandes carrières. Il n'y a jamais eu une star qui est sortie de The Voice USA et pourtant ils font deux saisons par an, là-bas avec de grandes stars qui sont dans les fauteuils et la même chose en Angleterre. Il n'y a jamais eu une star qui est sortie de The Voice UK.

     

    Pourquoi ?

     

    Je ne sais pas. Peut-être qu'en France c'est moins la démonstration vocale et moins d'acrobaties de virtuoses. Et il y a des choses qui sont un peu plus atypiques. Une confluence de différentes cultures, de styles qui ont le droit de rentrer dans l'émission, de s'exprimer. Kendji en est un exemple. Mais si on fait la liste des gens on ajoute Lou-Ann, Slimane, les Fréro Delavega, Claudio Capéo, c'est déjà pas mal.

     

    Que ressent-on lors d'une audition à l'aveugle quand un candidat chante une de vos chansons ?

     

    Malaise ! Je ne sais pas pourquoi, je ne sais pas. C'est très intime, voilà.

     

    Vous ne vous retournez jamais dans ces cas-là ?

     

    Je me retourne si ça arrive. Mais je pense que tout le monde le dit, c'est assez osé, dans une audition à l'aveugle, de chanter une des chansons des coachs et si quelqu'un le fait, il faut avoir une bonne raison pour le faire.

     

    Auriez-vous pu faire The Voice si ça avait existé quand vous avez démarré votre carrière ?

     

    J'aurais essayé, mais je ne sais pas si ça aurait marché. Je ne sais pas.

     

    Vous avez déjà commencé à enregistrer pas mal d'émissions. Comment est cette saison ?

     

    C'est comme une fusée de la NASA. Ça part dans tous les sens et ça va très vite. Et c'est aussi touchant que c'est drôle. Je ne sais pas pourquoi on oubliait qu'on était en train de faire une émission télé, on n’était jamais fatigués pendant ou après les tournages.

     

    Votre tournée, l’Apocalypse Calypso Tour, démarre le 26 février à Clermont-Ferrand puis il y aura Bordeaux, Lille, Brest, Nancy, Grenoble, Montpellier, Paris le 25 mars etc. La scène est votre moment préféré ?

     

    C'est un moment très important. C'est un moment que je cherche à cultiver comme une vraie partie de ma vie qui n'a rien à voir avec moi dans la vie normale.

     

    Mais qui êtes-vous ?

     

    Je suis cette personne qui a commencé à monter sur scène à l'âge de huit ans. J'ai toujours gardé une séparation entre cette personne sur la scène et je switche, je suis quelqu'un d'autre en dehors de la scène. Je n'ai pas honte de le dire. C'est un énorme privilège d'avoir le droit d'être deux personnes.

     

    La personne sur scène est complètement dingue ou pas ? Parce que vous proposez des choses incroyables.

     

    La personne sur scène ne se pose pas de questions, prend des risques, n'a pas honte même de son corps. Je suis super pudique, je suis insupportablement timide.

     

    Vous avez un petit scoop pour nous ? Que préparez-vous ?

     

    Quand on parle de l'apocalypse, ça peut avoir l'air super dramatique, mais non. C'est fait d'une manière très concept pop. C'est un 'concept concert', il y a toute une histoire. Et cette idée que si c'est l'apocalypse, qu'est-ce que tu ferais ?

     

    Avec pas mal de chansons en français puisque votre dernier album est intégralement en français.

     

    Ce qui est beau, c'est le mélange. Ce mélange, cette érosion entre la différence des langues.

    Mika back in The Voice: “In France, it’s the only country in the world where talents have had great careers”
     

    The Voice begins its 13th season on TF1 on Saturday with Mika, Zazie, Vianney, BigFlo and Oli as coaches. A few days before the launch of his European tour, the singer of the hits “Love today” and “Elle me dit” returns to his red coach chair on the TF1 show.

     

    It was in 2007 that with his first album Life in Cartoon Motion, the atypical author, composer and performer, Mika became known to the general public. Since then, he has toured stages around the world, offering six studio albums, the latest of which Que ta tête fleurelle is always composed entirely of songs in French. At the same time, he is known for being one of the emblematic coaches of the show The Voice on TF1. After leaving the show in 2019, even though he has made a few appearances since then, he sits down on one of the red armchairs, Saturday February 10 at 9:10 p.m. for season 13, surrounded by Zazie, Vianney, BigFlo and Oli.

     

    franceinfo: You returned for the tenth anniversary edition in 2021 and then for one evening only last year. So why did you stop and why are you coming back to The Voice?

     

    Mika: Because we have to stop! This is super important because if you do something too repeatedly, you can't change. And it's important to change. It's important to evolve. It's important to open new doors within yourself. When people say out of kindness and love, often, "Don't change", I answer: but no, you always have to change.

     

    Are you no longer the same coach as before?

     

    I changed without pretending to be someone different, to really not think about what people think of me. You have to be completely free from that. You have to go away, perhaps, to come back. I like doing lots of things and if I have the right to do lots of things, my concerts, writing, drawing, expressing myself and also making television for the general public... I love it, because making television for the general public, making an album, also doing philharmonic projects with the Philharmonie de Paris, all that can coexist, it can coexist.

     

    This season you will be alongside Zazie, Vianney, BigFlo and Oli. Zazie and Vianney, you knew them, but the two brothers?

     

    I didn't know them at all. I had met them once or twice when I did the super coach the year ago, but I didn't really understand who they were. And that, frankly, is a great discovery. The beginning of a friendship itself.

     

    If you had a word, an adjective to define each of them.

     

    I find that Zazie is really at peace with herself and that allows her to have even more empathy without being banal. She is empathetic, she is intelligent, she is sharp and it's great, it gives a positive and generous energy, enormous. Vianney's best moments are when he forgets himself. When he forgets that he's being filmed and then he starts talking like the geek in the studio. And that's charming because we really see the ambitious dreamer that he is. BigFlo and Oli are difficult because you have to separate them. A very touching brotherly bond. All the emotion that emanates from them comes from the complicity and love they have for each other. It allows BigFlo to be the comic, the comedian, to take the stage, but at the same time, he doesn't like the light. That's why it works. Oli is more about the heart, a little quieter, it's more about emotion. Together, they are very complementary.

     

    Why does a talent choose you? What are we looking for with you?

     

    I always ask myself this question because most of the time, I make them cry in coaching!

     

    Are you tough?

     

    No, I'm not being harsh, but I'm saying don't waste this opportunity. They are coming and we must not fall into the trap of making television. If they only do TV, they're not going to think about building a career and they're going to regret it for the rest of their lives.

     

         “It’s this magical thing, a little performance, a little audition that can change your life. With The Voice in France, it’s concrete, it’s true.”

     

    You changed Kendji Girac's life because he was on your team. He won. Today, he's a star. Do you feel a special responsibility?

     

    A responsibility, no. I am happy. The Voice in France is the only country in the world where talents have had great careers. There has never been a star who came out of The Voice USA and yet they do two seasons a year, there with big stars who are in the seats and the same thing in England. There has never been a star who came out of The Voice UK.

     

    For what ?

     

    I don't know. Perhaps in France there is less vocal demonstration and less virtuoso acrobatics. And there are things that are a little more atypical. A confluence of different cultures, of styles which have the right to enter the show, to express themselves. Kendji is an example. But if we make the list of people we add Lou-Ann, Slimane, Fréro Delavega, Claudio Capéo, it's already not bad.


    How does it feel during a blind audition when a candidate sings one of your songs?


    Faintness ! I don't know why, I don't know. It's very intimate, that's it.


    Do you never look back in these cases?


    I'll turn around if that happens. But I think everyone says it, it's quite daring, in a blind audition, to sing one of the coaches' songs and if someone does it, you have to have a good reason for doing it.


    Could you have done The Voice if it had existed when you started your career?


    I would have tried, but I don't know if it would have worked. I don't know.


    You've already started recording quite a few shows. How is this season?


    It's like a NASA rocket. It goes in all directions and it goes very quickly. And it's as touching as it is funny. I don't know why we forgot that we were making a TV show, we were never tired during or after filming.


    Your tour, the Apocalypse Calypso Tour, starts on February 26 in Clermont-Ferrand then there will be Bordeaux, Lille, Brest, Nancy, Grenoble, Montpellier, Paris on March 25 etc. Is the scene your favorite moment?


    This is a very important moment. It's a moment that I seek to cultivate as a real part of my life that has nothing to do with me in normal life.


    But who are you ?


    I am that person who started performing on stage at the age of eight. I've always kept a separation between this person on stage and I switch, I'm someone else off stage. I'm not ashamed to say it. It’s a huge privilege to have the right to be two people.


    Is the person on stage completely crazy or not? Because you offer incredible things.


    The person on stage doesn't ask questions, takes risks, isn't even ashamed of his body. I'm super modest, I'm unbearably shy.


    Do you have a little scoop for us? What are you preparing?


    When we talk about the apocalypse, it might sound super dramatic, but no. It’s done in a very concept pop way. It's a 'concert concept', there's a whole story. And this idea that if it's the apocalypse, what would you do?


    With quite a few songs in French since your last album is entirely in French.


    What's beautiful is the mix. This mixture, this erosion between the difference of languages.

    Here Mika talks about things more intimate and at the end he sais more about the show!
