Revelation of the week: Mika is NOT a Lebanese Brit

[Petra]

This here is probably not really interesting but in these times right now (without a tour, without either EP or new album) I'll post it anyway.

 

I don't know how or why but there is hardly anything more useless in the world than looking through German magazines to find "useful" articles (or articles at all) about British artists (not only Mika but also The Kooks for example). There are -of course- articles about Amy Winehouse but these usually don't deal with her music.

 

British artists don't make it to German magazines but they make it, after all, to sampler CDs from teen magazines (WHY there is NEVER an article about them then I do not know ). This time, it's Lollipop () that made it to the Bravo Hits 61 and there was the probably oldest photo ever with a few sentences that reveal the entire truth about Mika's origin .

 

"He stands for merry songs and crazy songtexts. However, it seems that not everybody likes the cute Swede: Mika (24) recently received death threats! But this is no reason to hide for the singer - it's quite the contrary: he strikes back with his crazy hit "Lollipop"."

 

 

 

[Mika Freaka =)]

What does all the german mean?

[Kata]

He probably changed his identity and nationality to escape from MFC

now that's peinlich for that journalist

[vanessa]

Aww and the verdict is that who wrote this is behind reality

[Niki27]

Well, you must admit Mika's look is totally the scandinavian type , right?

 

He probably got confused with the F1 driver, who's Finnish?

I thought he was from Finland?

[mariposa]

OMG! That's so typically German-ignorant...Mika is Swedish, oh dear! Voll ins Fettnäpfchen getreten

[Milou]

hahaha oh dear. That poor journalist is so gonna get the looks and talks when they find out:roftl:

 

If they ever do.

[femifrosk]

Wtf? Swede?

 

 

 

 

 

 

[greta]

ahah we are far from conquering the world!

another signal of how Mika's advertising works well:mf_rosetinted:

 

In Italy some think Mika's a Jewish girl btw:shocked:

[violet_sky]

Alter Schwede!

 

I don't think the journalist was terribly wrong, he or she might just have taken him by the word and brown or blue didn't do for them

[xBillyBrownx]

Hahaha

[sparkly1]

maybe he just dyes his hair dark, he might be blonde I mean look at that "peachy" complexion, perhaps his granny is of Swedish origin or his fathers cousin twice removed.

[sienna]

Oh, lilla Mika, så trevligt att du är från Sverige!

[violet_sky]

Oh, lilla Mika, så trevligt att du är från Sverige!

 

Don't understand a word (well, one word I do understand ) but somehow this makes me want to watch those 'Vi på Saltkråkan' movies

[Blue]

And it reminds me of a certain Austin Powers film. 'Honestly, it's not mine!'

[Alexandra26]

:lmfao:Poor MIKA

He must not know itself now, Lebanese-American-English-french (OK he had lived in France and he lives in England) but now... swede !!!!!!!!

[Foxxy]

swede?

 

:roftl:

[sienna]

Don't understand a word (well, one word I do understand ) but somehow this makes me want to watch those 'Vi på Saltkråkan' movies

 

Oh, I just said it was nice to know that he is from Sweden!

 

The Saltkråkan movies are great!

 

But my favourites are of course Madicken!

[xlindee]

ahah we are far from conquering the world!

Yeah. How dumb are they? How many times didn't he tell he was born in Lebanon etc.:boxed:A little bit of research people!

 

A Jewish girl?

[happikali]

I am one quarter Swede !!! Does this mean Mika is related to me ??!!

And ..... *oh, all those thoughts .... * ..... ......

[agnieszka]

seems to me that someone must have gone identity mad...
