daydreambeliever Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Awww. That's so sad! Poor Mika. I probably would have started freaking out...resulting in me accidentally scaring HIM away!
lollipop_monkey Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks for posting! Can some fluent French speaker translate the rest of what he says?
daydreambeliever Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 !! Thanks for posting! Sorry, I was in a rush to get back to the Oscars. Commercial was over.
Satya82 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Pnpo0JTdK8by CaroLollipop translation from the comment "he was saying how not everyone likes his music and then gave an example about when he was in Australia and he was with his mom in a shop when his song came on and he got all happy and started singing along when these teenagers came by and were like "OMG look at that guy." with a disgusted look." u aussie scare him away again :roftl: Oh thank you! I think the interviewer also asked him if he'd ever record an album or song in French. (I only took one year of French, so I could be wrong.) And what did he answer?
Blue Sky Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Actually I believe he said he went into a club with his friends (the band) (I did not hear him talking about his mother...), and his song came on and he started dancing and singing along and the girls told him he was such a bad singer or something. There is a thread or two about it somewhere, it happened in Australia last year and got a write up in a newspaper or somweher.... and this interview came up while he was in Canada last month.
Niki27 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Presenter: Mika's life has enormously changed since the release of his album LICM, that's now double platinum in Canada. Yesterday, he gave a huge show at the centre Bell, and I met him a couple of hours before his performance. Girl- Huge show tonight at the centre Bell, and you've promised us a circus... why a circus? M - First of all, the visual aspect of the circus is sthg that interests me because I tried my best to give my album a visual component that was quite apart. And it's important for me to have the same thing on stage, during my tour. Secondly, my music is quite flamboyant, colourful, "in your face". But, at the same time, the stories I tell are a bit sad. The topics are universal, and very "authentic". Girl - I heard that last time you were here you met Luc Plamandon, whose work you like, and that you might collaborate with him on song in French... so ? Mika - He came to the club Soda one year ago, he also came to see my show in Paris. We'll see. I'd love to sing in French, but it ain't easy. Girl - You said that the bad side of celebrity is that it's harder for you to get a date now because everybody knows you. Mika - not everybody. (end in a minute sorry ) P.S. Luc Plamandon is a canadian song writer, mostly famous for his musicals.
Niki27 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Girl - *giggles* Mika - No, really, not everybody! Some time ago I was in this club in Australia with my friends. It was 3 AM. They played my song and we started laughing, and I started singing along to my song. And the three people who were next to us, whom we didnt know, really looked down on me! And I thought to myself: "they don't even know it's me who sings that song". There. Sorry for the English, i've just woken up and I can't think straight.
BonjourMika1990 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I love when he speaks in French... I die a little every time:wub2: Oh and I adore when he puts the mic. to the audience and has them sing his songs.. HE lights up everytime and looks around like he can't believe we know the words...STILL HE'll never lose that:blush-anim-cl:
cheeseygoodness Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 tres, tres confiant....tres... in your face...."
French Deb Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 thank you so much for posting ! I've already seen it, but I really like this video because of what he says !! he makes me laugh with his aussie's story !!
lollipop_monkey Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Girl - You said that the bad side of celebrity is that it's harder for you to get a date now because everybody knows you. Mika - not everybody. Girl - *giggles* Hmm....is the Mikster trying to steer the conversation away from the you're-famous-so-you're-stuck-being-single line of questioning? Thanks for the translation, Niki!
