then they made peace because Mika's mother made them reconcile, Mika had explained it in an interview

si ma fu anche merito della mamma di Mika  a farli riappacificare

come raccontò Mika in una intervista 

hi…

could you translate some more here to explain what this is about? Thanks!

Oh. Well, now I sure am!!

This forum is speaking emoji.

Even worse, I started it.

Yeah no making excuses for the IOF is not it. This did not start on October 7th, it started in 1948. You cannot view the rise of Hamas in a vacuum

The way you frame your statement is actually my point about looking at this in a vacuum. The area was partitioned in 1948, but the entire story started waaaay before that. Depends on which side is telling the story.

Just an another gentle reminder that the moment you are mentioning was caused by 75 years of oppression and occupation of Palestine land and nation.

The history of this region is complicated, long, and has not ever been resolved by greater minds than mine on both sides. I do not think attempting to have a wide and ultimately dangerous (to this site) conversation about it here will benefit anyone. But to just focus on the current ongoing situation without mentioning what triggered it is not in my view telling even the current story.

That is very disappointing 
In fact, there is a clear political message and EBU even asked them to rewrite the song if they wanted to participate. I don't understand why he answers that, especially to defend a government (because this is mainly a propaganda song) who is openly bombing innocent civils and also Lebanon!
This take, coming from the man who used to be involved in defending important causes, is suprising and very upsetting.

Just a gentle reminder that the current unbearable situation is a response to the unbearable and unprovoked murder of other innocent civilians, some of whom are still being held in captivity.

Oh yeah for this tour he has a recording that he plays before Big Girl of comedian Jo Brand calling herself Queen Big. Funny that I've never made the connection with you  You'll probably find full recordings of it on youtube.

Not sure what video you're referring to from this show and whether he says it himself as well.

This is the quote I was responding to in my post just now, not the one I used in the response, which was my own. Because, brain.

OK, this may be wishful thinking, and I understand most of what he says onstage, even when it’s English, not at all. But I could swear that in the beginning of the intro to Big Girls he says something about “Queen Big”. Anyone?

Ya, the entire concert is on YT. It’s linked on the MFC forum or I can post it if you need it.

Of course my little ears perked up. I didn’t know there was a Queen Big! Here I thought I was so original with my QBF!

      I’m so glad the concert is posted. Not the best quality—all that dramatic lighting is actually obnoxious on film bec i is just distorted backlighting —but the concert is so deeply felt that is was heartwarming. And I love the stomping. But what was that weird little singalong melody that some guy kept trying to start? It was the same one found in the Woodstock movie where everyone was mudsliding. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I love how you managed to guess the right song, when with this description it really could have been any Mika song!

I dunno….do ya think maybe it's wormier?

Oh, hi, CJ! I was hoping you would see this!

Ok, so…

Yesterday played some Mika on YT

this morning my Hunny (the one who made me start keeping Mikajar bec I talked about him too much) said to me….

I have something to tell you. It upset me.

What is it, I answered, concerned.

I have a song in my head. An earworm. 
It's a Mika song.

Which one, I said.

The one where he sings in a high voice, she said.

, I said.

I took a guess.

Grace Kelly? 
I was right.

which is why this was the punch line. It was in today's paper. Read the second para:

….then there’s that old song by Peggy March, used later in Sister Act—“I Will Follow Him”

You are flattering me...

Yes. And I don’t mean for it to make you uncomfortable…I can be such a cheerleader (in a previous group years ago people called me PomPom, as I have mentioned) but truly ever since I joined MFC. i have really been amazed by what you do here. I mean, woman, you don’t miss a trick! 

@Kumazzz

You are such a gem!

Hello to all of you! 

I don't know  if this is the right place to share it, but this morning I have found this video from Italian Television. This is a Talent Show in Italy where two students sing their version of "Stardust" of Mika. 

I apologise if this is not a right place to publish it. If someone of you is interested in it you can move it in another thread more appropriate, if you don't like it or you are not interested you can quietly cancel my message. Thank you to everyone! 

Bye! 

Thank you so much. I really loved their version.

   On The One Show tonight, one of the guests Steve Backshall (well known naturalist) was explaining how clown fish make noises, he mentioned that some fish "talk" through their bottoms.

 

  Yeah... I know a few humans who do that too!

On another note…hey, CJ, look (carefully) at the shirt one of the judges on American Idol (Lionel Richie) wore last week (they were in Hawaii, so….Hawaiian shirts and tropical flowers…(look carefully….)

Amira has rhythm!

My mum then was so angry and complained the teacher and principal, also wrote a letter to the education bureau about this. I was literally so sad and scared about what will happen when I go to school.

When people are abused they are so often afraid to stand up for themselves because they fear it will make things worse, when the truth is the other way around! My Hunny had that fear when her mother was in a nursing home but standing up to those idiots meant they were afraid of her and they took better care of her mom. Good for your mom! And sorry for your loss.

Not any more, I bet! Mika seems to do that to people.

What great photos!

What a great job!

Welcome! Looking forward to your posts and also your observations!
