Hi everybody,

I need your help now.

I wanted to make a list of any charity and social action Mika undertook during the years.

What I remember is:

UNHCR for refugees

in Italy and France - against bullying at schools

a video for Haiti earthquake victims

Imagine for Margot 

Can you add anything else? I have a feeling that I missed something.

Thank you for your help!!!!!

I am watching now The Voice Poland.

In between the battles they played in the background two Mika songs!!!!!!!

Grace Kelly and Happy Ending. Maybe there will be some more?

Wow!!!!!! Happy Ending? So they have Mika's songs in their archives!!!!

Why they don't play it so on daily basis????

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

While we are all waiting for the press converence of The Voice I prepared my version of Ed Sheeran's song

"Perfect". Well, it's a song about a guy singing to her girfriend, but I like it so much that I don't care 

I had to write it down.

I am getting sick and tired of all these comments: Where is the album? We want new music.

Or even more nicely: We want the ####ing album! Why he goes here or there? He SHOULD write a new album!

What is all this? Do you think this can be a positive motivation? Can being rude change anything? I hope Mika does not read all this.

For me it’s a lack of respect for an artist they claim are fans.

When Mika is not on TV, they want to see him. When he does private gigs, they are not happy, because they cannot go to see him.

When he goes to France, they want him in Italy.

When he goes to Italy, they want him in France.

When he decides (I hope so) to participate in The Voice France – they are not happy because they want a new album.

I can imagine that when the album is released they will say it is not good enough because he was doing so many other things…  Never satisfied.

Sorry if I offended anybody, but I had to express my thoughts about it. Social media can be like a poison.

I do not mean any special person.

I am happy that we will see Mika in The Voice France (I hope so). I love watching him teaching young singers. His experience is so big and we should all be happy that he shares it with others.

If a new album is released in December or in March – I don’t care. It will be there for sure.

And then there will be the tour.

For sure we will hear a lot about Mika next year. And we will see him a lot. And that makes me happy. Very happy!

Let's celebrate !!!!

Sweet dreams are made of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dreaming of dancing with Mika    

Hold your head up
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up

Update about Mika's articles for XL Repubblica

Hello Everybody,

I found some more English versions of Mika's articles for XL Repubblica.

Well 3 of them I translated from Italian using google translator with some manual corrections.

Anyway I think they are very interesting and worth to read.

@Ellys could you add it to you PDF file? it is easier to print it if people cannot use Microsoft Word.

Enjoy!!!

Relax in Polish radio station RFM MF

I'm coming back from work. I decide to enter a shop with clothes. I'm entering the shop.

I hear "Relax, take it easy....." I am so used to hear Mika's songs at home that I don't pay attention.

I start to sing (not out loud of course). After a few steps I stop suddenly. 

I realize I am not at home!!!!!!!!!!!!! The song comes from the radio!!!!!!!

I am shocked. I don't know - maybe it's just a CD???

No, it's a radio!!!!! 

I'm taking my Mikaphone and recording 30 seconds of the song. To have proof. To be sure I am not dreaming 

Yes, Mika fans. In Poland you don't hear Mika in the medias   Except "Relax" every  2 years...

I have a right to be in a state of shock!!!!!!! 

Now I am OK. The shock is over   And I am happy!!!!!!

Is it normal? Should I go to see a doctor?

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.

I can't stop laughing!!!!!

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."

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  )

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.
