Story has gone. No more questions!

Isn't this evening the recordings for Quotidien? 

New question idea - Dear Mika, do you wish you'd specified a maximum number of questions per person? 

I asked a couple more..

- did he collaborate with any French artists on the album?

- are there any surprises on the album?

- is he happy with the response to the single? 

Stories last 24 hours by default, right? So presumably he'll do the answers later this evening, when it's closed and they've had chance to go through the questions. 

Just asked if he has a title for the new album yet. 

Ah, you've reminded me of another question I asked - will any other songs from the French album be released as singles?

Has anyone read when the instagram live will be?

Is it a live? Or is he posting a reel? 

Oh gosh, what did I ask him? Don't think I can remember all of them now! Err... 

- What was his inspiration and intention behind his new logo and colour scheme? 

- Did he enjoy the experience of writing an album in French? Would he like to do it again? 

- How did he choose which songs would be on the album? What was his artistic direction?

- How did writing the French album differ to writing in English or Italian? Does performing in French offer him a different perspective? 

- Where will he tour for this album? Will he return to the UK? 

- Does "Sweetie Banana" mean what we think it means? 

Can't wait for tomorrow! Hope everyone gets something answered.

It think I had a galette. Don't ask me with what, don't remember right now. 

Do you happen to remember the name of the restaurant?

 

And I knew there were sweet and savoury crepes, but what is the difference to galettes, nope.

I remember yours came with a little salad on the side in a glass, with carrot shavings. Didn't you and @giraffeandy have the same? I had smoked salmon, cheese and aubergine. It was massive, I was stuffed. Oh, and the delicious ice cream shakes!

No we're not paid promo. 

I guess they're vetting the questions as we speak. He'll only answer those he's comfortable with, it's not live on the spot.

Didn't we eat galettes together before the concert from the Philharmonie in Paris? 

Did you have galettes? Mine was a crepe, with savoury fillings... Oh! So my take on them was wrong anyway! 

I've seen them, but had it wrong, I thought crepes were sweet and galettes savoury. Oops...

Mika on Tiktok

Aww, don't worry Mika, you got more than half right, that's a pass mark! 

TWO more series? If that's true, the show runners will really need to clever about it to maintain the surprise.

Thanks to the recent French fan questions video, we now know that Mika loves Comté "for life", a really good Camembert, or stinky Époisses but only if it stinks like old socks. 

Brilliant news!! I just hope they don't need to change the format too much.

What's the old Monty Python sketch say?  

 

 

Mika is full of surprises!

You're brave referencing Monty Python after his speech at Bristol!

Someone told me that he knows Italian quite well, perhaps because he lives in Tuscany and needs to speak it.

Yes, Italian, and Greek. In his podcasts he sometimes translated some words if his guest couldn't find a good word in English.

He was in Greece for about 7 years. And he has a Greek passport now.

He said he can write in greek as well.

Yes, but Italian and Greek aren't French. It's possible to be adept in some languages and struggle in others. Maybe French for Andy is akin to Chinese for Mika? Which I guess would be more frustrating, knowing he can speak other languages but not this one that is so much a part of his partner's life. 

But I think we've gone a little off topic - sorry mods!

I wonder if this IG story from X Factor where he sings with Manuelito "hello sweetie banana" was the scrap version of the song 

Woah! Good memory!!! 

Maybe languages is not Andy's forté, everyone has their strengths. Given the length of time they've been together and how prevalent it is in Mika's life, I imagine he would have tried to learn it, but if he found it difficult, the anger would be borne out of his personal frustration.

 I'm still in shock, I was just casually watching Mika's stories and suddenly I see my face... I didn't expect him to repost the video from MFC! 

And I was next to you... completely oblivious to being filmed. 

It's interesting looking at it now, seeing how many people were there who I didn't know then, but have since met at various gigs and meetups.

Noo. Retro vintage.

I moved this here from the song discussions thread.

 

Oh dear, poor Andy! 😅 Finally he gets a song written about him and then it's one where Mika makes fun of him for feeling left out and jealous in France. 💀 (I can much relate to Andy's feelings tbh, and I hope Mika also shows a bit of empathy in that song 😅)

But he says he's never written about his partner? I thought 'only love you when I'm drunk' and 'origin of love' were about Andy at the time?
