RAK1 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Just listening to the entertainment news o R1, and it said Mika is EVERYWHERE in the US. Natalie Jameson R1s entertainment reporter has just come back from there and was gushing about how he is on billboards and on the radio over there. Good news that.

backflip_76 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 That's interesting. I never listen to the radio, so I don't know if his songs are ever played or not. And I don't live in a big city where I would have any chance of seeing any Mika billboards. My guess is that there might be some in just Los Angeles or New York City. And the only people I know that actually know who Mika is are people that I have personally told about Mr. M. I would love to see if anyone from a big city in the U.S. can see any signs of his increasing popularity, because where I live, he is quite unknown.

Seriously, I'd like to know where she was that she saw him *everywhere*. Maybe in California? Certainly not here in Washington DC). I have yet to see any sign of him around here, still have never heard him on commercial radio... most of the kids I know (my son's friends and my friends' kids) have never even heard of him until I mention him. I WISH he were everywhere here in the US. Actually, if he were just HERE that would be nice! dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BexxY Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 hmm well thats great news but i imagine this radio presenter hasnt been EVERYWHERE...she has just seen a small glimpse of what radio presenters see when they go to america but it does seem mika is slowly breaking america Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in an email group of about 15 friends scattered around the US and Canada, mostly around my age (mid- to late 40s). We have kids ranging in age from 9 to 24. None of the women had heard of Mika until I started talking about him and sending them links to his videos. And TBH, none of them really care for him now that they know about him -- "he's cute and jumps really well," is the best one could say about him after seeing him on So You Think You Can Dance. *sigh* Of all the offspring, only one 11-year-old girl in New York, and one 16-year-old girl in Rhode Island had heard of Mika and actually like his music. I know that's a totally unscientific poll and completely random sampling, but it seems to me that Mika has a way to go yet in the states. ETA: Although they do say, slow and steady wins the race... What is wrong with this country's musical taste??? I despair! dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I think slowly but surely Mika will make it. I heard him, his voice intrigued me, then I saw him - and it was all from there on. America will learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannah Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Ha, okay then. I've never ever heard Mika on the radio, but it's probably because I'm in a little town in the middle of nowhere. I've heard his song on TV a few times but that's pretty much it. I've never even seen his video on television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haley & Megan Meyer Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 It's so weird that some people haven't heard of him in the u.s. yet. Me and my sister heard about him way back in April and May when we bought his cd LiCM. We love love Mika!!! Love Love:wub2: Meyer Twins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get Sirius satellite radio, which carries BBC Radio 1 and that's where I first heard him, back in January. If it hadn't been for that, I doubt I would ever have heard of him yet! So I'm just wondering how you first learned about Mika way out there in middle America dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm just wondering how you first learned about Mika way out there in middle America dcdeb Me and my sister (we're 21 year old twins) loved this cell phone commercial that was on the tv probably airing in march or april of this year and we just absolutly loved the song. It was "Love Today" so we downloaded it of itunes. I don't know why we didn't download a lot of other songs from him off itunes. Maybe we knew he had a cd out. I remember going to Barnes & Noble (bookstore/movies/music store in the u.s.) and asking a helper there if they had a Mika cd. I think we were looking in the M's for Mika instead of the L's for Life In Cartoon Motion. And I remember him coming back with a cd in his hands that was full of great color and I said "Yeah that's it." Now I'm suprised that cd isn't worn out. We love every song on there with a passion. We were staying with our grandma and aunt that week and let me tell you that was one of the best weeks of my life!

Gatagordinha Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 My parents are on holiday in NYC and New England these next two weeks - I will ask my Mum if she saw any sign of Mika when they get back. From what you all say it will be a bit of a miracle if she does! I actually don't think it's a bad thing Mika is not breaking the US too quickly. Personally I'd be happy enough if he ends up with a really strong and loyal cult following in the US/Canada, even if that takes time. But then I don't live there; if I did, I might feel differently...? Obviously he already has a small (growing!) and loyal cult following here at MFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmot Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 It would be great to see or hear him more here in the US. I have never heard him on the radio, even though I have tried to request various songs. I have never seen a billboard or any sign of Mika here. I heard his music play once while I was in Best Buy. Most people I know hadn't heard about him until I started talking to them about him. I found Mika on You Tube by accident...and went out the next day to buy LICM. Five months later I still listen to it everyday. Now I get all my Mika information from MFC...thank goodness! I try to promote Mika's music every chance I get. I hope one day to see him here.
