Seems to be a celebrity gossip magazine, I wouldn't pay it any attention. Note they don't cite their sources or if the information has been fact checked.

Yeah but if he starts now, imagine how good he'll be in 20 years time...

No soggy bottoms round yours then? *Realises "Not since the kids were toilet trained" is a very likely answer.*

Oh god, please no, not that. It's a show for dried up celebs in the frantic last gasp of their careers, not for a talented musician with many years of creativity still in him.

Gosh, I remember watching that live, then being allowed to stay up to watch the replay later. Andy's a bit bigger than Torvill..

Dear Mika... Please add this to your list of forbidden threads, do not look for your own good... You rotters.

I still have to find/book accommodation for London. 😅

Last night... I dreamt I was lost in a small rural town somewhere in a different (unknown) country. Trying to work out the bus routes, stops and schedules, I stepped through a very grotty looking chipped wooden door, into a beautiful Chinese restaurant and takeaway. All deep red velvets and golden chandeliers. I remember looking around thinking 'This is a takeaway??' 😲 I walked past the tables to the back of the dining area where there were some freestanding local information boards set up with various bus schedules pinned up. Bit odd in that setting, but somehow dream me had known this was where to find the info. As I was browsing the boards, I became aware of the table beside me. Or rather, the people sitting at it. Very elegant but relaxed, all dressed in black. I fist saw an unknown chap, then next to him I realised it was Lang Lang. Then I saw the long black hair of the woman sitting next to him - yep, Claudia. Holding my breath and not daring to look too quickly in case the dream changed, I carefully slid my eyes over the back of the person sat in the fourth chair, nearest to me. Oh my god yes it's Mika!!!! Then... Panic. Uncertainty. What to do? Do I go over? I don't want to interrupt them. But, it looks as though they're finishing? I can't miss this opportunity! Lead feet kept me stood watching. Then, they finished the meal, put money on the table, and stood up to get their coats. As he pushed his chair back Mika actually stood next to me, and I realised the coat stand was handily located next to the info board! Emboldened, I just looked across and said quietly "I love you guys" (as in, The Piano team"). Mika focused on me with a questioning look on his face, so I gestured to the group and repeated "I love you guys". Then I gestured to Mika and said "I love you". I smiled and shrugged embarrassed, as public declarations and interruptions aren't my thing, but Mika grinned, hugged me, kissed me on both cheeks, then walked outside with me chatting about how I'd become a fan and about his music. Outside, he kissed my cheek again, then waved as he departed with the others. It was cold, raining, and I was still lost, but I didn't care. Cloud 9 was my home! I woke up then. Never did find out which bus I needed. Dammit.

Yep. Think I've still got one knocking around somewhere. Nothing to play it on mind! Much preferred browsing vinyls to browsing CD cases.

Classic from my younger days. Surprisingly good as background music on the headphones at work!

WOW, look at the size of THAT!!!! Such a big microphone..

I'm impressed you were able to eat in such company!

If only they could also reduce the air fares and hotel costs... 🙈😆

Hi, what are the prime videos please?

@Kumazzz Your VK links worked perfectly for me, thank you so much! 💐

IT ALL STARTS 2 WEEKS TODAY!!!!

Just watched it all, that was fantastic!! Great talents, good format, and the coaches have great rapport. I think the coaches group song was one of the best I've heard on The Voice, real synergy and energy coming through! Oh, I can't wait for next week, I'm going to watch it again!

That's fabulous!

Cute.

Moody.

Not sure this guy should be doing out style advice. His tache is worse than Mika's! 🤣

Pretty much. He wrote music for the original production of the film, but then one of the producers ended up not being involved (left? Fired? Who knows) so the project changed direction under the new/remaining producers.

See this interview from about the 7.15 mark. I mean, watch it all, it's great! But 7.15 on is relevant. English subtitles courtesy of the MFC subs team.
