violet_sky Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Sounded like a spoof to me. Quite a funny one. That would probably be the best way out of this for everyone. Say it was a spoof. Nobody annoyed, nobody embarrassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Sounded like a spoof to me. Quite a funny one. Maybe we're the ones overanalysing the blogs? Well I did say in my first post on the subject that maybe Mika is taking the piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Simpson Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well I did say in my first post on the subject that maybe Mika is taking the piss. And i'm agreeing with you. Can't decide whether you're right about there being something deeper going on. Maybe. But like what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariflor Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 "The singer seemed uncertain at first but, after a few hours of chatting, he was kind enough to provide us an outlet for our observations on this lovely blog." Could this possibly be paraphrased as: "He didn't want to do this, but we are very persistent and spent several hours convincing him that we are interesting and/or funny. He realized that this could keep people occupied while he gets back to work in the studio, and we're thrilled because we love to hear ourselves talk, and this will also look good on our CV's." I do REALLY enjoy "intelligent comment half filled with irony". However I don't enjoy (as Bab said) pseudo-intellectual drawn-out commentary. I'm not in the camp of people who feel compelled to assume all post-grad philosophical discussion is interesting just because the person was intelligent enough to string the words together. I'll give them a chance though... I'm pre-judging based on a not-so-interesting introduction, but maybe the next posts will be better. Perhaps he really thought we'd enjoy it... which means maybe they were interesing when he spoke with them in person. Which means maybe the next blogs will be ok. Ok, the more I think about it the more it's irritating me now.... Yes, I feel the same about the pseudo-intellectual stuff like you and Bab said. It feels like they are being pushed cause they are intelligent? Well, many other people are intelligent, and since when does intelligence equal having something interesting and/or funny to say? Is Mika insecure about his own intelligence?? He should not. We much prefer to read his blogs than other people's, so I say just type away and do not worry, they are great and you are as smart as these two or smarter. If Mika really wants someone to post "intelligent" stuff, maybe he could get someone who actually has life experience to do so, as I would be personally far more prepared to listen to them than to some people who have most likely lived a quarter of the experiences that I have. Pffft. And nice to know we can go backstage and chat for a few hours if we want to! That is also something that bugs me about the blog. By posting this, it's like they are openly suggesting that hounding Mika and mauling him after a show is not only ok, but also recommended if you want to do stuff for or with him. Totally the wrong message to give to fans, unless he's happy to start accommodating more stalkers than he has ever had. Sorry, bad move me thinks. And of course, then we get people like titania saying that Mika gets cornered into stuff. Hellooooo the guy is publicly saying that it's the way ahead! Someone please fix this , it makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Seriously... they're from New York, and it was in the winter... I'm guessing this was at the big New York show that he did in Feb? The one that Perez and several other special guests were at? I'm sure this was just the conversation he was hoping to be cornered into right after the show. Ditto. The thing is, I for one do not corner someone, get the impression that they are not happy with the situation, and continue to push it. I find it rude, and wrong. Clearly, we are not all the same. Well.... I feel like I'm being a bit snarky and harsh on them. But whatever. Maybe I'll like their next post. Maybe I'm just giving them a hard time because the thought of guest bloggers isn't sitting right. But maybe it's just them. Maybe it just depends on who the guest blogger is. I mean, if the next one is Perez or Yasmine or something, I think I'd like that a lot. Oh Shawna, anyone who has met you would never believe that you can be snarky or harsh!!! I think that we all find this a bit irritating as they seem to be so hyped up and really what for? Pseudo-intellectual-schoolyard-analysis-of-overrated-singers. Anyway, time to stop my rant before I say stuff that I regret later . I would though LOVE for Andy to post for example!! Or his sister Yasmine, or even his mum, with her views on the touring, etc.... Much more interesting any day . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I really like the idea of Andy/Yasmine/Mum or John posting, just in case he thinks that he has to deliver 3 blogs a day. Which he doesn't have to.

sariflor Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 HAHA! John posting, NOW that would be interesting! I bet you that, with his experience, he can write tons more interesting stuff....Touring with Mika compared to so and so, etc... Ok so I may be going a bit too deep in this now, but I read the girls' blog again and they say: "For the past four years we have been investigating the relationship between globalisation, popular music, and intrinsic happiness. " I may be a bit thick, but if intrinsic is from inside, from within, how can there be a relationship or influence (like they seem to suggest) between music and the intrinsic happiness? Nonsense, pure nonsense. Also, 4 years is more than many super high level scientific thesis take, so really this sounds a bit like a spoof.

RAK1 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 It would be interesting for Yasmine or his mum to come on to get their take on the artistic and creative aspect of the touring experience, but I can't see it happening though, but you never know. Johns take on it would be fascinating as he always seems to have so much to do. Andy, I just want to wind up:roftl::roftl:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guylainem123 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 maybe I'm over-thinking this, but there's one thing I don't get: the girls said that they met Meeks in Miami, and that after talking to him for a few hrs he agreed to give them the "outlet" on his blog.......but the Miami show was months and months ago: had he already planned the blog at that point?Okay, maybe I should just stop analysing hahahaha maybe the girls are just friends of his from when he recorded in miami... who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
