Marilyn Mastin Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Last evening I was watching the X Factor auditions, because I love a good slice of Car Crash TV. That's a bit unfair of me, though, because sometimes they sing okay, and now they are beginning to choose their audition songs with care. A young auditionee (Ididn't catch his name) sang Grace Kelly as his audition piece. He did well too (obviously not as good as we have heard it sung) but he sang in tune, and he got through! But I was also really pleased that the young auditionee, sung Mika's hit song in in front of Simon Cowell. Simon Cowell has, in the past, has rejected, TAKE THAT, THE SPICE GIRLS, and... are you ready for this one guys... MIKA!!!!!!!!! His shins are probably black-and-blue from where he has been kicking himself for months, and I bet he's rially p****d off that he is not part of the new Mikamania that is sweeping the nation. However, I for one am glad that that control freak with delusions of godhood, didn't get his hands on the career of our Mika. Mika had a lucky escape. But since I found out Cowell had rejected Mika, I can no longer take Simon Cowell seriously. The guy wouldn't recognise talent if it bit him onn the butt. Oh... it already has! Love today, from Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarahlou1973 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I saw that too. I think it would have been quite amusing if Mika had turned up and auditioned inperson..... SImon Cowell's face would have been a picture! I think X Factor is repeated on ITV2 at some point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyn Mastin Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 I think it's on this evening at 7.00 pm on ITV2 It's me again, Marilyn. When I started this thread I didn't notice someone had already started one. Appologies for that! I'm new to forums and to computers really, so I get a bit confused. Never mind. I'd appreciate any advice about things like private messages and how to go about it, etc. I hope to make lots of Mikatastic friends and have a Mikaterriffic time, even though I am 53 years old. Anyway, Mika rules forever, and Simon Sucks forever!! Love today from Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becky Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 You didn't get to see him come in, and you only saw Sharon and Dannii's reactions. I missed last week's one though, someone sang then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazy_daisy Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 HA! I'M REALLY HAPPY THIS IS HAPPENING! Simon Cowell shouldn't have rejected Mika like that. The fact someone sang Grace Kelly in his face -and passed the challenge- is the sweetest revenge I could possibly think of. Serves that guy right, hehe. MIKA ROCKS!

I was new to forums when i came here, but it's really friendly and you'll make some good friends. Why don't you pop over to the Oldlings thread and say 'hello'. That's where I spend most of my time and our ages range from 33 upwards. There's a lovely mix or people that are regular posters there and you'll be made to feel very welcome (if not, let me know and I'll sort 'em out!) Maybe see you in the Oldlings:punk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatagordinha Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I hope he joins up! There'd be something really satisfying about that, having someone who socked it to Cowell and survived on the forum dedicated to someone else who socked it to Cowell and survived!

CazGirl Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I'm a fan of anyone that can sock it to Cowell. hahahaha xDDD to be fair, i think Simon is right most of the time. He is honest about his own opinion. True he's turned down a fair few people that are stars now including our Mika, but something good always comes out of something bad. Do you think Mika would have had the freedom like he did when he created the first album? Exactly. Mika's first single would probably have been Unchained Melody if Cowell had taken him on board and so it was meant to be. Simon turned him down because Mika is too different for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon turned him down because Mika is too different for him You are very right. I completely agree. And when I watched American Idol, I used to agree with him a lot of the time. We really should be thanking Simon for not liking Mika...I can only imagine what Mika would be like if Simon had tried to control him...I don't like to think about it! And Mika singing Unchained Melody? LMAO that seriously made me laugh out loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Mika singing Unchained Melody? LMAO that seriously made me laugh out loud! LMAO it's true!!! Could you imagine Mika in a tidy suit, WITHOUT the curls (probably because they would be too different as well), serious look on his face singing into an old fashioned microphone...black and white....white smoke....and Mika going: And TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME goooooes BYYYYYYY so SLOWLLLYYYYYY.....and tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime can do soooo MUCH! Are yooooooooooooou still MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE?!?!?!?!?!

Marilyn Mastin Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 I don't think Simon has had anything to say about Mika, but Simon rejected him, that's bad enough, expecially from someone who has no talent of his own, except the ability to roll his eyes (we can all do that though) But like I said before, it was a good thing in a way that Simon didn't sign him up. Mika's uniqueness and his genius would have been stifled by Simon, and he woiuldn't be the Mika we have today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of us on here aren't singers and we all have different opinions on who are good singers and who aren't. Simon just shares his - whether we agree with them or not is irrelevant. Btw - he's read my message (i clicked on "sent" and it said "status: read") but he hasn't replied. has he signed up? is he reading this now? has he completely disregarded my message? who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather it just never showed up as Read! I bet he is lurking somewhere wondering whether to post and get embroiled in the Simon Cowell debate, seeing as he really has to keep on his good side for a while yet! Especially if he gets into Simon's boot camp! I agree with you about Cowell - I don't really like his personality BUT he is almost always right when it comes to who can sing and who can't, and I admire his honesty and the way he is never sycophantic or sentimental. And he did say Mika had a 'unique voice', was it? Well he got that right. But he worked with the Teletubbies I can't take that seriously when push comes to shove!
