That is one lucky tree 

Are you familiar with the gasmics thread? Something tells me you'd enjoy it. 

Wait, how old are you? Eh, old enough if you're typing comments like that.

I recently discovered that Tiktok offers audio effects that change your voice to make it sound like someone else is speaking. So you'd be recording the voiceover but with that effect it sounds completely different, like a young or an old voice, male, female, electronic, on helium...  So that voice could be recorded by anyone, those effects could even change Andy's voice to the high female voice you hear in Mika's video.

The voice they're using in his video isn't exactly pleasant imo, but I think it's the only young female voiceover effect Tiktok offers, called "Uni". The other one is a grandma voice. Personally I prefer the male voice "Philosopher", but I suppose they want to make it sound like one of his (mostly female) fans is speaking.

I think it's just the generic voice on TT before fiddling with settings. Seems to be the most commonly used. 

God he really does live in a beautiful place. Such a gorgeous house and garden.

And him! Fluff, soft pink top, lean long legs, looking golden smiling in the sun... and his sense of warmth and humour throughout.  If this is for Easter it's a much better gift than a bit of chocolate. 

I was trying to see who this is running from the rain!  Is it Yasmine?

I wonder who the women is who comments the videos?

I think it's a generic voice they can put on SM videos. I've seen (heard) it on Insta too.

The woven monkey chandelier seems to be a piece by artist Mario Lopez Torres, who has an outlet in Miami. There's very similar items on his website:

and besides, I'd just be happy to stay in the hallway and cuddle that lamp all day.

That's an expensive cuddle!

Wow, Mika is making a tour around his house in Miami!!!

Beautiful! And so him. Classic and outré together. I wonder how many of these items are things he's brought back from his travels, and which have been specially commissioned. I know they had some of the furniture made specifically for the original style of the villa. 

Love the family's initials painted on the ceiling beams. ❤

Slightly puzzled by the enthusiasm for showing us the toilet. 

For anyone going, I emailed them and asked for clarification of the dress code:

"Is cocktail wear (knee length skirt/dress, bare arms) acceptable for this event? Or is it preferred that ladies wear longer gowns and have their arms covered?"

They replied:

"For this event, the 2 outfits for the ladies that you indicated in your email correspond to the dress code requested from the guests.

Indeed, we ask you to wear a chic and elegant outfit for this event.

For the men, the jacket remains obligatory and the tie and the dinner jacket are appreciated."

Quick question, kind of related to the yearbook planning... I'm trying to think of times when Mika has mentioned flowers (specifically or as a general reference) in his songs. My brain isn't co-operating and I can only think of Sanremo's yellow flowers, so I thought I'd ask the hive mind - quicker than trawling the lyrics thread! Any floral lyrics spring to mind? 

Just ran across this one on YT, not sure if it's in the list already:

 I can only do this on my left hand, not my right! 😅

I can bend my little finger on my right, but not left.

A new partnership in the making?

But it doesn't make sense to me, because when you count with your fingers, you start with the thumb showing "one", don't you? So "4" would automatically be all fingers except the little one.  

Yes, that makes perfect sense to me! 

So do you show 3 with the thumb and first 2 fingers? Or curl in the thumb and little finger to show the 3 middle fingers? 

Don't practice this outdoors folks, your neighbours will think you're throwing gang signs.

My fingers are pretty flexible, I can bend them all backwards much more than most people... still, the "4" works slightly less well with my left hand than with my right. But it always was the way I showed "4" before people were wondering about Mika doing it that way in the BG video, and I was like, what, why, is there another way to do it?!

Lol, I think most people just bend in the thumb. 

I can do the Mika method on both hands though. Maybe it's something keyboard players can do as they're used to stretching?

Not ill, looking very healthy and in good spirits in Miami. Presumably resting and working on the album?

I firmly believe he's in Miami to store up some sunshine, before having to perform in the dingy grey wet and cold UK. ☀ 

He looks good. Happy and healthy. 🥰

Love the shirt in the TT. 

Have we seen John before? 

Hi Sarina! Welcome to the MFC! 

The different threads can be confusing at first, but they do make sense once you've got used to them. I only ever use my phone too. 

Enjoy it here, and if you get lost or stuck, just shout!

Wait, its called "mask singer"? That's annoying. It should be The Masked Singer, or The Singer in the Mask. 

Then again, that costume is more than a simple mask. Maybe I'm being pedantic.

That's an impressive costume!

YES! I'll find it! Tempted to also ask a keeper if they've seen a mystery curly haired man just standing by the camel enclosure, quietly singing to them maybe... 😁

Oh boy... that doesn't necessarily narrow it down.  Curly hair? Fluffy hair? Gelled, moussed, waxed and blowdried hair? He has several options. Besides, he'd probably wear a hoodie. 🤣

But if the camels whip out a xylophone for a burst of "keep it simple" you've got your answer. 🎶

There will be so many pictures!

 

 

I will give this a go! 😁

Can't wait for the news reports next week. "Camels run riot, hold TinyLove_CJ hostage, demand more Mika music and their own theme tune."

That is all.

😁

Play them some of the soundtrack, see how they react.

Yes. It seems that Mika recorded all the voices. At least it is what I understood from one of his French interviews.

 

And in Tehu Theme it's for sure his voice 

In No Time To Leave at the first time I thought it was someone else's male voice. But it is Mika as well 

 

His voice is really an instrument and Mika is using as such !!!

It's all him?????

I was convinced there was a choir on some tracks! Oh my god. That's INCREDIBLE.
