Hello all!
I'm Deepblue, but I also respond to my real name, Sascha
I am 43 years old, and I live in the westernmost part of Germany, close to the borders to the Netherlands and Belgium. I came across Mika about two years ago, in a time where I had to cope with some not-so-nice health issues. And as music has always been a great tool for me to reduce stress and to work on mental issues, I started to crawl Spotify for some happy playlists. And then, Mika was suddenly there, and his music immediately drew me deep into this happy and joyful rabbit hole.
Of course, I knew his biggest hits from the past, but not really a lot more. But once I started to look deeper into his discography, it really struck me how much there is for every single emotional state one could be in. I love to sing and dance joyfully to "Elle me dit" or "Love Today", shed a little tear when listening to "Happy Ending" or "Underwater", or enjoy the subtle messages in the lyrics of songs like "Toy Boy" or "30 secondes". I know these are big words, but Mika has helped me a lot with his music in a very difficult time of my life (and still does!), and I am forever grateful for that. Also, I believe that he is a fantastic ambassador for diversity and equality. Standing up for diversity is important to me, and I believe that calling out the tiny and big injustices in everyday life is kind of a civic duty, especially for those of us who are really privileged.
And now, I'm here! I came across the Mika Fan Club as I was searching for more information on Mika's current tour. In just four days from now, I will attend my first ever Mika concert in Lille, and I can hardly wait for it. I think I'm already driving my wife crazy at the moment with my botched attempts to get these french lyrics right, and she will have to live with that for the next few days
This much about me for the time being ... I'm looking forward to whatever expects me here, and maybe I'll see some of you in Lille this weekend!
Hello @Deepblue and welcome in Mika Fan Club!
I'm Arianna, I'm italian and it's not a lot of time that I'm in this beautiful community.
I don't think you exaggerate when you say that the music of Mika has helped you.I think the music could has sometimes a special power, I think it could create union, give courage, could make us a smile in a difficult moment, and expecially the music of Mika, has helped and continue to help me to express myself in my everyday life.
I appreciate very much what you say about diversity and equality too.
In my opinion the respect for other people is important in every situation. Is important that everyone of us could be, and could be accepted, for who they are and fell yourself well. In this Mika has really opened my mind and I'm great to him for this.
I hope you have fun in MFC and...you have fun to the concert too!
See you somewhere in the forum!

I admit I didn't know a lot about Italian Impressionists and Wow! I really do love these paintings. Silvestro Lega caught my eye, theres sure a brilliant sense of atmosphere. I will certainly be researching more into Macchiaioli art.
I studied Vermeer in class, I'm glad you could see "The girl with the pearl earrings"! I really do love Dutch Golden Age paintings.Leonardo da Vinci is such an intriguing artist, honored to see a painting of his in the Uffizi, and a drawing today in the National Gallery, great stuff.
Hope you can get back to your creativity!
Oh...it's a nice coincidence that, among Impressionist artists, you have mentioned Silvestro Lega!
My mother has always made painting, it was been always her favorite hobby and she has worked for a long time as a graphic.
The boss of her office was a person called Lega, I don't remember the name...anyway it seems that Silvestro Lega was an antenate of my mother's boss!
Nothing...it was simply a thing that make me curious!
Ok...See you somewhere on MFC!

I do it when I can too but it is time consuming so it's not always possible.
Have a good week end
It's been surely difficult and it takes a lot of time, is true but it's a pleasure for me and it's a good exercise to improve my English and my French at the same time.
You are always very kind!
Thank you!
Have a good week-end too!

Ciao! Se qualcuno di voi è interessato alla traduzione completa di questa intervista (centpourcent/1 heure avec mika)...mi scuso con tutti voi.
Ho avuto dei problemi imprevisti in questi giorni e sono in ritardo!
Condividerò l'intera traduzione il prima possibile.
Mi dispiace!
Spero che tu possa perdonarmi!
https://www.centpourcent.com/1-heure-100-mika
Here the summary (not very short!)and the traslation in English of this interview!
The interview starts to the introductions of the guests and listening some extracts from Mika songs until "C'est la vie".
The host ask to Mika if, later, is possible to explain the reason of this title and if it to sing "C'est la vie".
Mika answers positively saying he feels in a good mood because outside it's a beautiful sunny day.
The host ask then to Mika if he was been in France for "The Voice" during the week-end and he replies that in the week-end he was been in France only through television because in reality he was been before at this studio in Florence, then he has fly to Paris, he was been then in Milan and he was gone to London!
At this point the host pronounce his name in a wrong manner and he call him Miko instead of Mika. All smile in the studio about this mistake and one of them joke saying that Miko is an ice cream not a singer! Mika says something about chocolate, I think he mentions a possible flavor of ice cream.
The host continues the interview bringing the possibility to someone to speak to Mika directly and this person explain something about a dream where Mika would have saying "I want you in my team" like in "the Voice"
This woman continues to talk to Mika about libanease origin, about his travels from Liban to Paris passing through London she says that Mika has travelled very much with their family and that he have had many work experience too until Eurovision Song Contest in Italy where he was been a host.
The person on line continues saying Mika speaks many languages included Spanish and make him a question about a country he has intention to discover or re-discover. ( unfortunately I couldn't understand Mika answer).
Then the host ask him what were his dreams of a young boy, which of these dreams had became reality and what was changed over the years for him.
It's a time for a game now where Mika has to guess a mysterious guest throught some clues.
Mika starts to make some questions to the guest: if he listen his music, if he even ate a cake bon bon, if he's be able to dance or to sing and if he sing well or not.
The discussion then moves on the single "Jane Birkin" and the host compliments to Mika telling him that he has the same elegance and the same accent of Jane Birkin. Mika thanks the host for this compliment!
The shows continues with Mika that explain again the meaning of the title "Que ta tête fleurisse toujours " that, for him, means to continue to have desires, continue to be creative and he adds that this is the only way to reply to life and to defend the gravity: the gravity of the life and the physical gravity too.
Mika says that this album make brought to him a new creativity and a new way to grow and trasform the things.
He says that this french album and a new tour have opened a new chapter in his life but he doesn't know if he will do another French album in the future.
He continues saying the new work is like a window opened in front of the world, a new world pop but much deeper.
The host says to Mika that the new album is about love and asks to him about his loves story that continues by 18 years and what does he thinks about fidelity.
Mika replies that fidelity is very important for him in a relationship and that the love is a mix of hope, happiness, revenge and hanger. All of these things together give to the love story more opportunity to continue for a long time.
At this point of the interview Mika has to guess a mysterious guest. He understand that the guest is Aurélien a singer that he has saved into "The Voice" in the past years.
The interview ends thanking Mika for his availability and remembering the date of Apocalypse Calypso Tour.
This is a summary (?) of the whole interview.
I apologise to all of you for mistakes.
I have made my traslation with what I have understood, if someone of you want add or correct something is the welcome, any suggestion is well accepted.
If you think that I have done a good work and you need help for traslation in the future don't hesitate to contact me, if I'm be able to help you it will be a pleasure. You find me here, somewhere on the forum.

Nice to meet you! Great to hear you love art, Do you have any favourite artists/art?
I was in Florence recently and got to see some of my favourites!
And thank you for offer, I really would love to enhance my Italian, it amazes me that it only took Mika two months to learn!For what concern art I love Macchiaioli and Impressionists artists. Sometimes I visit exhibitions and last year I have seen exhibition about Giovanni Fattori and the painters of Pompei.
I have had the opportunity too, years ago, to see in front of me the painting "The girl with pearl earrings" and it was been something of incredible!
I admire the genius of Leonardo da Vinci and me too, I have visited Florence and Rome.
I don't understand very much modern art instead, despite I'm curious about it.
I'm not very good in drawings so I have to express my creativity learning graphics ( Photoshop, illustrator...) despite in this period I had to take a forced pause.

Never really used a forum before, but I'm Will! I discovered Mika through Eurovision, sort of. His music was everywhere before so I was somewhat aware of it, so really it was a rediscovery, but I absolutely love him and his music!!
His music is so perfect it sort of just clicks in my brain, also both being neurodivergent I recognise so much of my traits in him when I read interviews and watch stuff about him, and as a gay guy I feel really seen/represented.
I'm currently studying Art History, Art and Italian! Mika's multilingual songs/fans/social media has unironically helped with my language studies, so thanks Mika! Lol
Hi @willprest and welcome to MFC!
Nice to meet you! I'm very happy that to be fan of Mika has helped you in your studies and in your everyday life. It has happened and still happen to me too, so I understand.
Me too I love art and I follow it, but I'm not so good to make drawings! Sometimes I try!
I'm italian and if sometimes you need help for your Italian, here I am!
I hope you'll enjoy in MFC!

I just gave it a go. Agreed, that was a bit too much for me as well
To the question of whether he's happy with his life since 2007 he says that it's hard to quantify but he has had so many experiences (good and bad ones) so he feels privileged and lucky to have such a full life.
They talk about Jane Birkin and I think he says that she didn't get to listen to it but her daughters did and sent him a nice message. The interviewer says Mika has the same elegance (which Mika takes as a big compliment) and the accent of course (which Mika doesn't like as much :D).
The interviewer says that love is also a big topic on the album and Mika says yes in all its different facets (rage, joy, etc) and the interviewer brings up faithfulness which yes, Mika says is good and very important. I'm not sure if the interviewer interpreted something differently, he was probably just talking about MAEP which does talk about faithfulness to be fair.
And yes they played a game where Mika had to guess the person based on their voice and yes and no questions. It turned out to be last year's winner Aurélien who said that his win was all thanks to Mika because he saved him in the Super Cross Battles (which is interesting, I didn't realize).

Well ok the whole story that my brain came up with is this:
The young boy wants to learn to skate but is discouraged (maybe because it's seen as a feminine sport) and gives up. But adult Mika overcomes those societal pressures and fulfills this childhood dream by learning to skate as an adult.I'm sure it's gonna be something completely different as his music videos are (almost) always confusing to me
I have thought exactly the same thing!
And...in my mind... he was a champion in the past that, for some reason, returns to competition in a fight with himself...
Or: he get back into game after a lot of time for realize an old deside of someone...
Oh...The thoughts travel quickly with the fantasy!
This evening at 7:00 p.m we'll know it!

I think he's simply asking doesn't share videos on social media, I don't think he asking do not talk about his concert with friends, or in private.
Probably he's organizing something new for these shows, something througt could surprise people or give them a different emotions than the past. I don't know exactly, but I'm pretty sure that there will be some reason if he asked this to his fans.
I can't go to his concert this time and so, me too, I hope can watch something about it, but I know well too the ability of Mika to surprise us! So...I'm waiting for next adventures!
