pinkfakecheez Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm not sure about this one either. I absolutely love the song and Mka would absolutely nail it! But I haven't seen or heard anything about him covering the song. He covered it at his first gig in Ibiza when (I think) there was some sort of technical problem to keep the crowd entertained. Either way, he sang it there. (Wish I could have heard that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mari62 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) but that doesn't mean he likes her right??? could it not be that he finds her to be a "diva" please!!!! IMO this doesn't mean he likes her, he's just talking about her habits, isn't he? god i hope not!!! that will shatter my image of him! you don't like her, do you?

First it was Mariah Carey, then Barbara Streisand and now Celine Dion (+ recently Perez's comment on him acting like Madonna)... No, that's definitely not a preference.. I wonder who comes next, though.. I personally can't think of any more names he can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) I really don't know that he mentioned the half of this. Never read/heard Where exactly did you find all those imformations? I bolded the ones I haven't heard of in pink. About Nelly Furtado, I only know for "All Good Things", not "Maneater" This is what I have to add: Song: Michael Jackson "Man In The Mirror" Artists: Igor Strawinski, Mozart, Bob Dylan, PRINCE, he likes arrabic music too... You jest about Dolly Parton, surely? It's the opener for all the shows, before Relax, and he has said he thinks it's a perfect pop song! Grace Jones: Pull Up To The Bumper Gwen Guthrie: Ain't nothing Going On But the Rent And these are DEFINITELY in the preshow music!

keti Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) You jest about Dolly Parton, surely?It's the opener for all the shows, before Relax, and he has said he thinks it's a perfect pop song! Because I have never gone to a show of his? and I didn't recognize it on any of the vids I watched too... Well, that's a news for me then! Thanks He went to a Little Boots gig two months ago. http://www.nme.com/news/little-boots/42571 Thank you when did he mention man in the mirror? as for arabic music i think he talked about Feiruz's music. In his mikasounds vlog, "New Music Part 1". And in one interview as well, I'll try to search it. Edited April 7, 2009 by keti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mari62 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 not at all!!! don't forget, i've been hearing about her since she was a little girl... every french family is so proud of her. i just heard her wayyyyyyyy too much! my mother & sister love her alot... i can't stand looking at her when she is singing. she keeps hitting herself in the chest! she has to be the worse dancer in the world and her stage presence just gives me shivers... but not in a good way aw I see She's an amazing singer-songwriter, and must also be a very sensitive, nice and goodhearted person. In the past I used to listen to her music and loved it, I watched a show of hers aired on Italian TV as well (and I remember her hitting herself in the chest ), but now I'm not into her any more.

mari62 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 as for arabic music i think he talked about Feiruz's music. Yes, in an Italian magazine he says since he was a child he has been listening to different kinds of music: <<Fairuz, a legendary Libanese singer>>, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, serge Gainsbourg, France Gall, Jane Birkin and Tino Rossi. <<Tino Rossi was the first voice, which lulled me to sleep during my childhood, especially "Petit Papa Noël". It's the most beautiful Christmas song I've ever heard.>> Then he says he loves Joan Baez and Shabba Ranks In the article he also mentions <<Asha Bhosle, the greatest Indian singer>> and Harry Nilsson http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1334&highlight=italian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I wanted to avoid it, to tell you the truth.. If I do, I can add Fleetwood Mac's Everywhere, too. He almost covered it, anyway:naughty: Otherwise, it's nice to hear from you again. Hope to meet soon again in London - I mean I hope there will be some concerts soon worth flying over to. Great to see you still post once in awhile, and this thread was a great idea. . I have already made some promises to vacation in the Philippines and Australia later in the year, but I'd love to squeeze a London trip somewhere - yes, hope there's good reason to meet again this year.

suzie Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 I really don't know that he mentioned the half of this. Never read/heard Where exactly did you find all those imformations? I bolded the ones I haven't heard of in pink. ... Most songs he played before his concerts About Nelly Furtado, I only know for "All Good Things", not "Maneater" He picked Maneater when he was asked to pick 10 of his favourtite songs some timei mid 2007... I remember it because I hate that song.. He also picked Umbrella on that one... He mentioned Paolo Conte in the Italian interview when he was making pizza... so funny :biggrin: This is what I have to add: Song: Michael Jackson "Man In The Mirror" Artists: Igor Strawinski, Mozart, Bob Dylan, PRINCE, he likes arrabic music too... ...will add Bob Dylan and Prince - I don't know how I could have missed them Jacko is an influence, there already Stravinski & Mozart - when did he say that?
