Ankmet20 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 ITS THE GOVERNMENT!!!!! No, jk But serously, I have never heard him once in public. I have had 3 school dances this year. Not one DJ had MIKA! I aksed the DJ at my graduation dance if he could play mika, and since I think he liked me (becuase i was very polite) He told me.. and these were his exact words... "We have to play it later in the dance becuase we already have a long playlist BUT I PROMISE that we will this played for you by the end of the night. Who do you want it to go out to?..." So I told him my name. About a half hour before the end of the dance, I approached him again and asked "When will you be playing Mika?" His reply was "Oh, we dont have any" I told him that he HAD PROMISED he would play it, but he simplpy said.."Well if you had brought it on a CD i would have." WHY WOULD I CARRY LICM (One of my prized posesisons) ON STAGE WITH ME FOR MY GRADUATION ADN TEHN KEEP IT WITH ME FOR THE DANCE?!?!?! ARE YOU NUTS!!!!! So i just walked away, very defeated.... IDK, but Mika needs to become more well known here! I will definetly call my radio station this summer! well then again, the thing with forcing people to play it or listen to it...I think America will come around eventually. plus, then you have idiotic people becoming screaming girly fans who don't respect his music or him at all.

However, I WILL go to one of his concerts one day , and I will most likely be that screamming girly fan (With the upmost respect for him and his music!)

I wasn't saying you or anybody else on the MFC doesn't respect him, I was just saying that if he suddenly became uber popular in the US we might be flooded with those screaming girlies who care more about what he wears than what music he makes or his lyrics or something.

blue grey Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Exuberance is in serious trouble, look at what happened at this high school graduation, and wonder why Mika isn't being played on the radio. 7 Arrested for Cheering at Graduation :eek: Page Ivey ROCK HILL, S.C. (June 10 2008) - When school officials in Rock Hill, South Carolina, tell graduation ceremony crowds to hold their applause until the end, they mean it -- Police arrested seven people after they were accused of loud cheering during the ceremonies. Six people at Fort Mill High School's graduation were charged Saturday and a seventh at the graduation for York Comprehensive High School was charged Friday with disorderly conduct, authorities said. Police said the seven yelled after students' names were called. "I just thought they were going to escort me out," Jonathan Orr told The Herald of Rock Hill. "I had no idea they were going to put and cuffs on me and take me to jail." Orr, 21, spent two hours in jail after he was arrested when he yelled for his cousin at York's commencement at the Winthrop University Coliseum. Rock Hill police began patrolling commencements several years ago at the request of school districts who complained of increasing disruption. Those attending graduations are told they can be prosecuted for bad behavior and letters are sent home with students, said Rock Hill police spokesman Lt. Jerry Waldrop. All the cases, except for one that includes a resisting arrest charge, will be handled in city court and are punishable by a maximum of 30 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Orr said he thinks people should be allowed to cheer. "For some people, it might be the only member of their family to graduate high school, and it was like a funeral in there," Orr said. William Massey, 19, was arrested but said he plans to fight the charge. He said he simply "clapped and gave a little whoop" when his fiancee's name was called. Massey said there were warnings before the ceremony but none that said he could be arrested. He said not everyone who cheered was arrested. "There's a lot more people that did it than six or seven," said Massey, who graduated from Fort Mill last year. Fort Mill Principal Dee Christopher says school officials don't ask that offenders be arrested but that he plans to keep a police presence at future graduation ceremonies. "We think it's important for every graduate's name to be heard and for every person in the arena to be able to see that student cross the stage. ... That's why we have disruptive guests removed," he said. Last year in Galesburg, Illinois, five students were denied diplomas from the city's lone public high school after enthusiastic friends or family members cheered for them during commencement. Students could get their diplomas after completing eight hours of public service for the school district. School defends tasering 16-yr-old student for hesitancy to show I.D. Imagine all that, and no Mika to help keep the spirits up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianogirlsammy Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Hey, you are cool girl, you made the guy do some work for his money! Did you got some Mika music played? Well the radio has this thing where it will play all requests from 9 until 10. I called around 9:30, and since I was babysitting and didnt have a radio, I called a friend of mine and asked her to call and request him again to reinforce the request I made, and to listen for me on the radio. But once 10 rolled around, she told me she never heard it. That gets me really mad..... <3 I know this is off topic but I was just on the Tour Dates list and realized that he isnt coming to the USA for a while, but MIKA: IF YOU CAN READ THIS, LISTEN UP! COME BACK TO THE USA SO A) More people here will recognize you B) You will get more fans C) YOU CAN GIVE ME A HUG! That is my biggest dream! I really think some more American performances would do him really well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getmikaplay Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 You know I've been thinking the exact same thing, I'm American, and I think It's because she's a woman and men like, and women are more comfortable with the thought of a lesbian than a gay man. Either way it's ridiculous and I'm sincerly at my wits end with the American radio stations. Jackie http://www.getmikaplay.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What your doing is great. Today, on teh radio I heard the song "Lollipop (Lick the Rapper)" By God knows who, (not mika) but the song is so horrible! Horrible message and terrible words. I was appahled! In teh car with my mother, I was so disgusted, I had to turn it off, it was making me very uncomfortable. This country's media is just too crazy.
