suzie Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 What did she say? http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13011&highlight=adele So MIKA should do his next duet with Kylie or Brian May This seems to be the cencensus. I'd personally prefer a duet with someone who can actually sing... .. and add Brian on guitar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatagordinha Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I think Beth Ditto is a good singer and a unique performer so it's nothing against her, but I just have this niggling feeling now that the whole Big Girl thing is becoming a bit of a Mika cliche, bordering on parody, and it gives his detractors all the ammunition they need to sneer at him. I've never ever found the song patronising (I am a big girl so I can say that) and although it's one of my least favourite Mika songs, it's great live, in fact IMO it's much much better live than on the CD. BUT...I feel it's had its day, and I just don't really want Mika to be associated wholly forever more with this one song/image by Joe Non-Mikafan Public. I feel there is so much more to him, he has better songs, better tunes, deeper lyrics, etc. and I just wish he'd choose a different song for such an enormous performance as the Brits! This is just my opinion. I know fans of Big Girl will disagree and be tempted to jump on me now and beat me to death for my heresy but hey, I don't often say controversial stuff on here. So be gentle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daisylou Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I think all this assumption and dislike should be kept till after the performance! It may be Beth Ditto maybey not?....you might not have liked her singing before but might love her this time! I think patience is what is needed so we should all just wait and see.....afterall MIKA won't be doing anything crappy as he has been planning this for ages!!! Make sure you all look out for Mrs Penniman's incredible sewing skills! I bet the costumes are fabulatious!...not sure if I have made that word up but it sounds good! xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasia87 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 okay.. why am I not thrilled about this?? I like Beth Ditto to a point.. I LOVE Mika... but together, I'm not feeling it.. maybe they'll duet "Standing in the way of control" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Well, I'm bored and there's not a lot to talk about.... I understand you, actually... and you can only speculare beforehand, and not after the show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatagordinha Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'm with you on this:wink2:yeah, I think big girl with Beth it would be wonderful..months ago. For the Brits I was hoping in something different rather than the singles.. who knows what are the special reasons behind this decision Hmm. I think the 'special reasons' are that Mika himself rates this song very highly. I get that impression. I bet he goes around at home whistling it all the time. I just think he really likes it *hey even though I say so myself this is a great song..and it only took 15 seconds to write...i'm a frickin genius man!* And of course, he fancies Beth We know that anyway.

lcmlcm Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 i like this song....but when performing on the stage ...it's just.... i mean ppl who dun understand the song would come across as ridiculous... I am guilty as charged!!!! Let's wait and see, suzie you are right :roftl: personally i like this idea.... let's see how they interpret this time... if it's really happen.. i hope this's the highlight of the night...

sariflor Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Pffffff, I don't want to be negative, but there were sooo many great songs he could do, and so many people he could perform with, and I'm really not excited about this one. I don't really like Beth's singing much, and their duet at the (oxegen?) festival was IMO quite shambolic...so I'm not very happy about it. The Brits is such an occasion, and I don't know if this will work out. I hope it will. Sigh:boxed:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violet_sky Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I've never listened to Kylie I think he should do a duet with Prince I think Kylie should do a duet with Prince and both of them should leave the Mikster alone and let him do what he does best. And of course, he fancies Beth We know that anyway. Why is it that I don't really buy that? I can't get rid of the funny feeling that the deal was made between the labels or other higher powers than the Big M's desperate craving for ... Beth Ditto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariposa Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 well, I don't know what to expect...but as Suzie has pointed out, we should better first wait for the performance and then say what we think about it... ...in any way, it will be interesting to see what it will actually be like!
