And yet Mika said in an Instagram live once that he doesn't watch it! 😆

The time will come, I'm sure...

This, thought Martha now as she ran to keep up with the Doctor, her hand held tightly in his, was what happened when you tried to force people to have a good time. She remembered a particularly miserable family holiday at some activity camp outside London, her big sister Tish falling for one of the creepy blokes that worked there. She shuddered. Even being sentenced to death by a city of daft robots wasn’t quite as terrifying as that place. For one thing, you couldn’t defeat creepy blokes by playing them songs from your iPod. ‘It’s funny,’ she said to the Doctor as they ducked and weaved between the dancing robots. ‘My brother hates this song.’ ‘What?’ said the Doctor, stopping in his tracks. He spun on the heel of his trainer, his long coat and silvery tie whirling around him, and swept a hand through his spiked and scruffy hair. ‘But this is a classic. Humans doing what you do, daring to be brown and blue and violet sky!’ He laughed. ‘I don’t even know what that means! See? Brilliant.’ Martha raised an eyebrow. With the robots still dancing around them, it didn’t seem the best time to indulge him. ‘Yeah, well,’ he said chastened, taking her hand and leading her on through the strange and metal street party, ‘you know I once saw Mika live in Denmark –’ ‘Yeah,’ said Martha wearily. ‘I was there too.’ He turned his wild, inquisitive eyes on her like he’d only just noticed her there. ‘That’s a coincidence!’ he said. ‘Funny how these things work out, innit?’ But his wide grin and enthusiasm were infectious; Martha found herself grinning back. They turned a corner and Martha felt her heart leap. At the end of the alleyway, beyond yet more cavorting robots, stood the TARDIS. They made their way through the last of the dancing robots. While the Doctor rummaged through deep pockets to find the TARDIS key, Martha looked back one last time on the city. Two small robots the size and shape of kitchen bins were dancing together, the same keen but clumsy routine she remembered from old school discos. She felt a sudden pang of sorrow for the silly machines. ‘But won’t they get bored with this song one day?’ she asked the Doctor.

 

...

 

‘Then they stay,’ said the Doctor. ‘But they have to choose.’ From the Brilliant’s speakers, a new pop song began. It took a moment for Martha to realise what it was, by which time she and the Doctor had already started dancing. ‘Grace Kelly!’ she laughed. ‘The song,’ the Doctor nodded, wheeling her around the floor. ‘Got it off your iPod. Thought you wouldn’t mind. Good old Mika.’

Are you a Doctor Who fan, too? I think DW has a similar style to Mika. Funny to see Mika mentioned in DW.

The Music Of The Night

 

 

 

The Music of the Night - Michael Crawford ( Original London Cast )

 

Oh my God! I haven't heard the Mika version before! I am a huge fan of the Phantom. Thank you Kumazzz/Eriko!  My favourite one is by Hugh Panaro, but I like the movie version too with Gerard Butler. :-)

Maybe it's just me but I think Ralph Macchio looks like an older Mika (he is 61 years old, he is an actor).

Sziasztok! Nem tudom, mennyire aktív a magyar thread, de gondoltam, beköszönök. Mondjuk, nem vagyok új rajongó, már tizenx éve szeretem Mika számait, de idén valahogy jobban előtérbe került nálam. Fél éve mindennap a számait hallgatom, sőt eldöntöttem, hogy legközelebb, ha lesz Londonban koncertje, elmegyek. Ez nálam azért nagy szó, mert kerülöm a tömeget (anxiety), emiatt nem vagyok nagy koncertezős, de miatta kivételt teszek. :))
