suzie Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 aaw it's a small world, isn't it? just randomly coming across that Yes, I know it sounds unbelievable but I did not come across this link via a ’Mika’ search.. It all began when I decided to start a thread on opera sopranos, following Rebeka’s unsuccessful attempt to start a thread on Maria Callas on Boxing Day... I simply wanted to post a thread where 5-6 sopranos compete for the title ’favourite soprano of the MFC’ ... So, how do you do that? You post the same aria performed by different sopranos, so that they are judged on almost the same basis.... With Verdi being my favourite opera composer, I simply typed in ’Sempre Libera’ on youtube and this Korean soprano came up as 7th or 8th result... I was reading the comments and I was appalled by how hostile some people were agaist her because of ’her looks’....but if you read between the lines, you feel that it was a pure case of racisim: the youtube branch simply could not imagine an Asian girl as Violetta in La Traviata... So, as there was no other link on her, I decided to ’google’ her and find some other stuff from her on the net. And that’s when I found the 2005 competition on the BBC site. ALL the comments there were very positive (I think she won that competition in the end), especially the comment with the capital letters coming from the most educated family in Kensington. ....so, look out for my soprano thread – I hope to manage to post it soon (I don’t post much but when I do I take my time to do a thorough job) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IngievV Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 It must be him, I mean 1. Mika wasn't famous back then, so the name Penniman almost unknown. 2. Who would bother to use Fortuné's name, in 2005 when his brother wasn't famous + he isn't famous himself and only the fans of Mika know about him. And besides, if someone else used his name, then they could've posted something negative, if positive, there's no need to use a fake name. Just my thought:roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I am not sure if this can be posted, so Mods, you can delete my thread if you think it is needed but it's soooo cute...... ... I was searching the net for something non-Mika related and one of the comments to this opera singer's profile caught my eyes only because it was all printed in capital letters..... Here it is: http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/cardiffsinger05/performers/korea.shtml My first thoughts are that the love of opera, enthusiasm, making your voice heard and problems with spelling obviously run in the family.... But most importantly, Fortune has now replaced 'lookovermyshoulder' (if anyone remembers him) as my favourite little boy writing comments because he writes the best comments I have and will ever read! OMG THAT IS SO AMAZINGLY CUTE!!!!!!!!!! I shall listen to this singer now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakie Doke Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Aww! That is so cute, he must have been quite young then, in 2005. But didn't anyone tell him not to use his full name on the internet? That is such an amazing and wonderful coincidence how you came across that though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niki27 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Can we close this thread? I don't feel well with this here.

Petra Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I would actually already consider this personal - people going on and on about a comment you made two (?) years ago plus a typing mistake (ok, two). There are already almost 5 pages of it - that is insane. Sorry to say that. Fortuné is not a public person - we don't post a thread for everything another member here does. No one of us would like it if there were 15 people talking about them typing "gorgus" instead of "gorgeous" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one of us would like it if there were 15 people talking about them typing "gorgus" instead of "gorgeous" or something. Fortuné is not a public person, I totally agree with you on this. Trouble is he posted this comment on a public site, signing with his full name, and what he said there is therefore public. I don't think people who comment his spelling mistakes intend to be insulting, they rather find it quite cute. So no harm done. As for the "dyslexy" theory it's really far-fetched: everybody mispells on the internet anyway and in 99% of the cases theses are just typing mistakes. I don't think this thread needs to be closed... but as I said I'm keeping on eye on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
