Back To Black has sold more than 3 million albums worldwide, making it one of the most successful debuts of the year.

 

It's not her debut album. I love Amy Winehouse and in all honesty I prefer Back to Black to LiCM. I love what Mark Ronson has done with her and Lily Allen's sound - it's more my type of music.

 

But it kind of sucks that Mika always seems to be taking second place to her. Considering that this is Mika's debut album and he's not falling wasted off the stage half the time I'd say he has achieved the same level of success and likely has a brighter future ahead of him.

 

It says its being released November 13th!

 

I'm in the US (California) from November 1st - November 6th! :thumbdown:

*crosses fingers that its released in Canada some time soon*

 

Ah, don't worry about that. Unless Canadian retailers start slashing their prices I'm doing all my shopping in the US anyway. Guys in my office go down every week. I'm going to get them to pick me up a digital camera since prices are about 40% less.

Ok, Mika looks AMAZING in that trailer. Wow. In particular, where he's got his hair long and sort of in his face. :wub2:

 

I'm so excited! I wonder if by footage of his tour around the world it means his interactions all over, with fans and from shows around the world? Before the Atlanta show, camera guys came up to me and the people that I was with and told us to scream for the camera because we were in front and then he would go around and tell everyone to yell and that footage hasn't been used anywhere else...

 

I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!

That would be the coolest thing ever! :roftl: However, I don't really want to see myself. I looked like an idiot, I'm sure, because the guy was like (to me, my niece, Mallory and Bethany), "Okay girls, scream for the camera!" and we just were sort of like, "Ehhhh..." and then he was like, "Come on, you're in front!" and so I just let lose and screamed like I was being attacked or something. I bet I looked completely moronic. :roftl: I stuck the MFC sign up in the camera, though! :D

Good for you! Gotta represent the MFC! I always feel so awkward when someone sticks a camera in my face...despite my excitement I know I was so unenthusiastic for that camera. :roftl:

Universal Republic Stars, Amy Winehouse and Mika, to Release Special Live DVDs in U.S. November 13

 

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Two of Universal Republic Records’ brightest stars are releasing special live DVDs this fall, the multi-award winning Amy Winehouse and acclaimed singing sensation Mika. Both DVDs are deluxe packages that will include an array of special features and behind the scenes footage of the two British stars.

 

Already hailed as one of the decade’s top live performers, Amy gives us fair warning with the devilishly titled I Told You I Was Trouble. The DVD features as its centerpiece a rollicking and emotive 60 minute concert performance filmed live from London’s 104 year old Sheperd’s Bush Empire. Mika’s offering, Live In Cartoon Motion, captures the star at his show stopping best, thrilling a sold-out audience of 4,000 fans at France’s famed L’Olympia venue.

 

For Amy Winehouse fans, I Told You I Was Trouble also serves up a potpourri of bonus material including a 50 minute film chronicling her incredible rise as one of music’s most colorful and acclaimed new voices; never-before-seen early performances; an interview with her father, and other rare, behind the scenes glimpses of the British siren. Showcasing her hit songs from her UK debut release Frank and the international platinum-plus release Back To Black (recently passing the 3 million sales milestone worldwide), the concert from Sheperd’s Bush features “You Know I’m No Good,” “Tears Dry On Their Own”, Amy’s cover of the Zuton’s “Valerie”, and her Billboard topping hit “Rehab,” among others.

 

Mika’s Live In Cartoon Motion marks the first time the energetic star’s lively show has been filmed in its entirety. Directed by Matt Askem (David Bowie, Paul Weller,) it captures Mika’s flamboyant stage presence, with the star performing most of the songs from his 3 million selling worldwide debut album Life In Cartoon Motion, including “Relax, Take It Easy,” “Big Girl (You Are Beautiful),” and the global chart-topping “Grace Kelly.” Using 10 cameras and shot in high definition, the DVD also features a documentary chronicling Mika’s escapades throughout his much heralded world tour, a highly-raved-about romp that the caused San Francisco Chronicle to proclaim the star “an incredible showman.” Nominated for two MTV Europe Music Awards earlier this week, the tireless star will tour Europe this fall, returning to his native England for a series of live shows in late November and early December.

 

Emerging almost unanimously as the most highly touted UK singer in years, Amy’s Back to Black CD has remained a mainstay of the Billboard Top Albums charts since its release 6 months ago. Reaching the #1 plateau in England at the beginning of the year, the mesmerizing artist also possessed the hottest single on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart most of the summer, with her sizzling single “Rehab” scorching its way up the Top Ten, and nailing the #1 spot on the Billboard R&B singles chart. Back To Black has sold more than 3 million albums worldwide, making it one of the most successful debuts of the year. Among Amy’s many awards is the coveted Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist, a Best Jazz Crossover album Honor at the Ronnie Scotts Jazz Awards, and an Ivor Novello Award (she won her first in 2003) for “Rehab” in the Best Contemporary song category. Most recently, she received a MOBO Award (Music Of Black Origin) in London, winning as best UK female artist. The singer-songwriter’s brassy mix of soulful vocals tinged with 60’s girl-group stylings/sly funk and jazz has seen her become one of the most critically acclaimed new artist’s in years, with Rolling Stone and Spin magazine featuring her in dueling cover stories this summer. Amy is currently preparing for a live tour of Europe later this fall.

I am so excited about it. A few weeks ago I was complianing about MIKA not releasing the DVD in the states. I even left a kind of angry comment of his myspace page. Sorry.

I checked the page and couldn't find where to go and buy it or pre-order it. Do you know when it going to be release?

 

hugs

"Dear Santa,

I have been a really good girl this year, and I was hoping that you can send me a copy of Mika's "Live in Cartoon Motion" dvd, and a copy of Amy Winehouse's "I Told You I Was Trouble" dvd. Both DVD's are being released November 13th, so It's just in time for christmas. I would be forever grateful if you decided to send these to me.

 

Love,

Shanicka."
