    Maybe a new thread for 2024 should be created or perhaps 2024 could be added in the name of this thread

    So Mika says he's going to sing Jane Birkin in Lucca and perhaps even sing a bit of it in Italian. imusicfun.it has similar info. :https://www.imusicfun.it/top-news/mika-il-videoclip-di-jane-birkin-finalmente-disponibile-su-youtube/ E' disponibile da ora su YouTube, il videoclip ufficiale di JANE BIRKIN, l’ultimo singolo di Mika tratto dal suo ultimo album QUE TA TÊTE FLEURISSE TOUJOURS, uscito per Island Def Jam (Universal Music France). Prodotto da Jealous Films con la regia di Oliver Jennings, il videoclip di JANE BIRKIN è la rappresentazione del talento eclettico e visionario di Mika, un viaggio visivo attraverso la trasformazione personale e l’affermazione della propria identità, incanalando il tema della libertà in un’espressione vibrante e coinvolgente. “Il videoclip è stato girato a Londra, su una pista di pattinaggio sul ghiaccio. Ho fatto diverse lezioni con dei professionisti, perché volevo creare qualcosa di speciale per questo pezzo. – racconta Mika – Jane Birkin è un’icona della musica, del cinema e della moda. Era una persona nella quale mi sono sempre identificato perché ha sempre mischiato le diverse culture e la sua scomparsa mi rattrista profondamente. Abbiamo perso una grande artista che appartiene alla storia culturale francese, ma non solo”. Jane Birkin sarà presente nella setlist dell’APOCALYPSE CALYPSO TOUR, la nuova tournée europea di Mika che prenderà il via dalla Francia, passerà per Lussemburgo, Svizzera, Belgio, Paesi Bassi, Germania, Regno Unito, Irlanda e arriverà anche in Italia, venerdì 19 luglio, con un concerto speciale al Lucca Summer Festival. “Non vedo l’ora di cantare dal vivo questo brano, anche nel mio concerto del prossimo 19 luglio a Lucca dove magari introdurrò una strofa in italiano”.

    I thought for a minute that Mika had decided to go ahead and post the video!! So I put my headphones on (despite the late hour) . . . and then read the words "premieres in 18 hours."

    I was almost expecting to see Mika driving the vehicle! Is he going to skate for a music video?

    Sicuramente gli sarà pesato cancellare un intero tour, sia per se stesso che per tutte le altre persone coinvolte ( band, tecnici ecc), per non parlare dell'effetto che avrebbe avuto sui suoi fan. Sono felice che stia preparando qualcosa per l'Italia. Spero che sarà possibile parteciparvi. 🤩

    I thought it was Amour Pirate

    You're right, it's great that Mika made the shortlist! For the entries they probably had to use the legal names of the participants. Whoever wrote the announcement apparently doesn't know Mika's nationality. 😄

    I found Up also moving in how it portrayed loss and disappointment.

    Se è così, mi auguro che non coincida con gli esami di stato ( probabile correzione degli elaborati il 24 giugno) come è successo per il concerto di Orange.

    I thought Annalisa's duet "Sweet Dreams" with La rappresentante di lista was outstanding. I'm putting a link for anyone who wasn't following Sanremo: https://youtu.be/H4e0zqJKHps I would have been happy if she'd won the night of the duets (don't know why so many viewers preferred Geolier). I also would have liked to see her at Eurovision, though I'm not crazy about "Sinceramente". Angelina Mango's song is catchy and I imagine will be appreciated by many European viewers. I think it's a shame that Santi Francesi (2022 X Factor winners) and Skin weren't among the first 5 for the duets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeQeVn-XAeU

    @mellody wrote: I don't follow what the other coaches do - are they always nice and sweet to their contestants? On the casting shows I used to watch 20 years ago, it wasn't like that at all [. . . ] And I remember from Xfactor that he's not good at dealing with crying people. Although, didn't he console that one girl? I thought there was something... I'm not sure yet if I will follow The Voice, there's too many other things... but I'm curious to hear from those who do follow it whether that has changed too, as he said he has changed a lot - maybe now he can also deal better with crying contestants? .............. Maybe you have in mind The Voice. As for X-Factor, Mika and his co-judges in 2021 gave me the impression that they genuinely cared about the singers they were coaching. At times they also had nice things to say about other judges' contestants. Perhaps you were referring to Nika Paris, the sixteen-year-old who broke into tears as she read the lyrics and sang Justin Bieber's "Lonely" during rehearsals. Mika chose it because Manuel Agnelli had commented that Nika didn't seem to show much emotion while singing. Here's the clip in which Mika tries to help her get through the song. https://xfactor.sky.it/video/x-factor-daily-puntata-14-nika-paris-si-commuove-cantando-708206

    In the interview Mika says . . . 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. When Mika was on X Factor in Italy in 2021, I sometimes thought he was a bit hard on the members of his team. The other judges seemed to criticize their contestants less. I think I have a better understanding now of his approach as a coach (on X Factor at least). He does not mince any words because he truly is trying to get his singers to concentrate on improving their performance. This part of the interview also reminded me of what Mika said on TF1 back in December, that is, that he hoped he could do for someone else what his mom had done for him. This would entail, however, being more than just a coach for a few weeks on a TV show.

    Hi @apocalypsecalypso, I live in Italy too. Glad you enjoy Mika's music so much! I became interested in Mika too thanks to TV, that is X Factor 2020. Hope you enjoy participating in the Forum.

    So why was he in Milan? He said not long ago that there were surprises in store for Italian fans. Guess we'll just have to wait and see
  18. SusanT
    I like how they mention twice Mika's work on the soundtrack

    I'm wondering about a future Mika is missing. Where will he be between the end of April and the end of June? I bet he'll be working on something that'll make lots of fans happy! 😍

    Hi @Arianne921 I live in Italy too, in Puglia. Welcome to the Forum!

    Is it just my impression or is it possible that Mika's way of communicating changes (not just the language) depending on whether he's speaking English, French or Italian? Actually, I would expect it to happen. By the way, I'm happy he's enjoying the show so much!

    When I try singing along with the chorus, I always feel like I'm a fraction of a second behind Mika's voice, that is, I can't sing "doucement" fast enough. It's one of my favorite songs too.

    I found these references to the movie. https://www.screendaily.com/news/snd-posts-deals-on-the-book-of-wonders-princes-of-the-desert-exclusive/5177875.article?referrer=RSS "Lamy also stars in Princes Of The Desert that SND has sold to Athena for Benelux, Ascot Elite in Switzerland, Sphere in Canada, Nos Lusomundo in Portugal, Grand Entertainment for the Middle East, ADS for Hungary and Romania, ACME in the Baltics, Foxx Media in Czech Republic and Slovakia, Blitz in the Balkans, ATV in Turkey and Mauris for CIS." The above was published on the Internet in January 2023. Looks like the movie will be released in Canada, but another website gave French for the language. According to this link, the movie will also be distributed in Italy, don't know if in movie theaters or through a streaming service. https://www.ecfaweb.org/european-childrens-film-network/feature-films/?y=2023&f=3161 Haven't bought the French DVD because I'm still hoping for a DVD in French and English.

    Thank you so much for all your work!

    I did check previous Jan posts but I guess I missed it because I didn't find any videos of Mika in a light blue shirt Didn't know about The Pancake Book.
