suzie Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 In this video he sings a couple of lines of "Via con me" by Paolo Conte. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFgOJyeAlr4 Idol..? Paolo Conte is already on the list ()because back in 2007 he did mention in an Italian interview that he liked him and I think he even once sang some lines from Azzurro that was written by Paolo Conte. ( and he sang that as well though the most famous versio is by Adriano Celentano.) here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NJ_ifT4y0Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(spelling may be wrong )x Can't believe I didn't notice that Depeche Mode weren't on the list. :blink:Did Mika ever mentioned he liked DM? In the list I only included artists Mika said he liked but if he ever said so, I'll include them:wink2:. ( I know he covered a song by them, though I think it has more to do with the fact that it was an early DM song, written by Vince Clark. I bet he prefers Erasure to DM...)

I have never heard about it It must have been in mid /end 2008 when I was busy doing things in real life... So thank you for telling me..:flowers2:Can you remember where these sessions took place? *goes to search YT...* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thank you for telling me..:flowers2:Can you remember where these sessions took place? *goes to search YT...* Oh sorry. No, I believe it was somewhere in Jan/Feb 2008, somewhere in North America. He only performed it twice or maybe three times, in Montreal and..somewhere else. Can't remember right now and also can't find it on Youtube, but I do have an mp3 of it. First they sing Sexyback by Justin Timberlake, then they do When Doves Cry by Prince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just entered Montreal Mika Saranayde as search terms in YT and here is what I got: Thank you for mentioning this. I think I might have even come across this video but unfortunately the sound in the recording is so distorted that I never listened to it ( did not even realise first what they were singing ) Edited November 9, 2009 by suzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will only be on the CD single (not the mp3 single package). So I think you'd need to order a copy of the CD to get it legally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 He definitely likes DM, IJCGE, is his favourite DM song. yes... I understand that. :wink2:The point is that IJCGE is early DM written by Vince Clarke who left the band shortly after to form Yazzoo and later Erasure... The sound of Depeche Mode became different after he left. I think Mika actually prefers Vince Clarke's songs vs DM in general. He also used to play Yazzo's Only You before gigs.

goudje0 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 That was the song that made me an Erasure fan almost 21 years ago and it's amazing live. Oooooooh I had my Erasure-periode around 1992. And I was the only one where I lived. I used to listen to the casettetapes in my very BIG walkman. Nobody understood my choice in music but I loved it!
