sherry_baby Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Thanks for posting. I really wanted SiTM but I suppose Happy Ending will do x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 i dont see the connection with happy ending's lyrics and homeless people though...am i being thick? Mika's mind works differently, you know.. ...and to me, it would also make sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I see why so many people want it to be released...Don't you think that at that point it will cause the same amount of "circles on the water" the "out" cover did.... so maybe there are some recording ppl considerations involved....US marketing and etc... I don't understand why it would be a controversial song. Can someone explain, please? + gospell-ish "Happy Ending" sounds the most "american" to me... ...I'd have to disagree... The most 'American' type of song ( if we consider the charts today) would be My Interpretation.. You don't get any gospel-like songs on the US charts nowadays, and especially not from white artists. It's either urban music or cheesy pop ballads. I think people will love Happy Ending, with or without homeless people..... at least in Europe they will...

kath Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I think it is a great choice...and it will be really good to show another side of his many talents to the people that think he is just about 'bubblegum pop'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babspanky Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Are they talking about an American release, a UK release, a Europe release, or a worldwide release? Isn't Billboard an American site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scut Monkey Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 To be frank, Happy Ending isn't one of my favourites of Mika's. I didn't pay much attention to it until I watched his Liquid Room performance of it with his younger sister and heard the emotion in his voice - that made me sit up and really consider the meaning of the lyrics. I was in an emotional mood at the time so the song reached out to me. Otherwise, I would never have noticed it much. It's a beautiful song but the the female chorus just doesn't feel right, it just doesn't feel like "Mika". I have the same feeling about some of the lyrics in My Interpretation. In my eyes those two songs don't seem to show his versatility, they seem to show another person's contribution. Songs that I think truly show his versatility are Over My Shoulder, Relax, Take It Easy (Acoustic) and Intoxicated: they're stylistically very different from his other works yet are unmistakably "Mika". At the end of the day, Happy Ending is a ballad: it can either really work in his favour and be one of his best sellers or really flop and be the requisite trite ballad that most pop artists have in their repertoire. To be honest, I always thought Billy Brown would be the next single. It screams "single" to me. But perhaps the conservative Powers That Be didn't agree?

nico_collard Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hmmmm... Happy Ending? That song reminds me of Grey's Anatomy (prob cause they used it for the promo ads for when Meredith drowned)... We probably won't get it till 2008 anyways, Love Today has only just bee nreleased in Oz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaza! Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 WOW!It'll be great! But that song makes me cry! same here! buts its a beautiful song all the same, im glad its being released for all to appreciate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I hope it's true. It's time for him to release something slower, different, to show off his versatility. I totally agree with you. I think Erase would be good. However, Stuck in the Middle shows off his versatility the most, in my opinion...piano, scat,... It would be good if he played SITM on GMA. I think that he'd win over the US with that song. However, in some areas of the country, he will never be embraced. What a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS Nightly Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I* think this might be his last single until his second album. Hence the single is called Happy Ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
