Shaza! Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Well there I was today in the library at college, doing a little bit extra to help my français by reading the French news paper "Le Monde" when what did I find.... an article on Mika!! here is the original version for you guys! http://www.lemonde.fr/web/article/0,1-0,36-969288,0.html and here is the version translated by google... (sorry i don't have time to translate it myself) thus the bad grammar but ye get the idea! http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lemonde.fr%2Fweb%2Farticle%2F0%2C1-0%2C36-969288%2C0.html&langpair=fr%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaza! Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 I don't like the gay part of it The article is not always nice Thanks for posting! yeah it seems a bit strange... but it's not like they are calling him gay, just that his style is similar to that of the scissor sisters and freddie mercury and attracts the same audience... it is quite possible that i picked it up the wrong way though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armande Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 thanks for showing us this! To his credit, Mika, with his band without relief (guitar, keyboards, bass, drums), does not use samplers sounds but involves two brass and a string trio. Son programme est inscrit sur un t-shirt vendu à la boutique des produits dérivés : "Dance or Die" ("Danse ou crève"). The program is written on a T-shirt sold at the shop derivatives: "Dance or Die" ( "Dance or die"). Le slogan colle aux infernaux Love Today et Grace Kelly , sous une pluie de ballons multicolores, confettis et serpentins. The slogan infernal sticks to Love Today and Grace Kelly, under a rain of multicolored balloons, confetti and streamers. a string trio wow! makes me think of the beatles, i hope he can be as lasting as they are/were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessa Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Thanks for posting ! But I don't like this part : After the Scissor Sisters, Mika paying provides an example of appropriation of culture by gay adolescents, particularly females:thumbdown: Not a good article !

armande Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 nawww, i dont like that, i dont think it is very relevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatagordinha Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Thanks for posting Not a bad article but they should realise Mika doesn't only appeal to young children and schoolgirls excited by gay culture, as they seem to imply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxLollypop_girlxx Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 When I was in France, I saw 'le Monde', with Mika on the front of the newspaper, and wondered what it said, so thanks for posting. I found it hard to understand, even though the translation is done well I am confused! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I know it's a French newspaper, but why doesn't mention the German and Dutch gigs in the tour listings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamette Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 "Son heureux auteur au pseudonyme chocolatier" "Le français de Michael Holbrook Penniman, 24 ans, est impeccable." "avec son groupe sans relief" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I know it's a French newspaper, but why doesn't mention the German and Dutch gigs in the tour listings? I think they mention those gigs for the French speaking audience of their newspaper in other countries. Le Monde is not very popular in Germany and Holland, French isn't a main language there, like it is in Belgium and Luxembourg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melman92 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 okay fantastic I can read it .. *ahem*sorry, can someone says where it is about? well,basically it's a review about its concert with references to his name his fans and many things sensed to be ironic for the most part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyn Mastin Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Thanks for posting !But I don't like this part : After the Scissor Sisters, Mika paying provides an example of appropriation of culture by gay adolescents, particularly females:thumbdown: Not a good article ! I don't like that they say "after the Sissor Sisters". The Sissor Sisters are a group, Mika is one awesome man! When I first heard Mika, I didn't know who he was, but I knew he was better than Sissor Sisters. As for them calling him gay. Who give a toss? Mika certainly doesn't. So we won't give them the satisfaction of complaining about it. Love today, from Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coloursule Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 "George Michael pour l'imploration, Freddie Mercury pour les envolées lyriques. Ajouter les Bee Gees pour le disco, Bronski Beat pour l'électropop années 1980, et Elton John pour les ballades pianistiques. Punks, passez votre chemin." Fisrt I dont see the need to compare someone to someone else... And also, "punks passez votre chemin", I saw people of every style who love Mika... I dont like this article... really not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
