findingmywords Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I always find that my voice sounds SO stupid when I watch these videos afterwards . And I also just say whatever comes to my mind on those occasions and then later feel like an idiot Same here haha. It's weird, voices sound different on video than in real life. I always think when I watch a video that has my voice in it, "Is that really how I sound?" Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... I must say you sounded a bit wild... good for you ! Cheers, Id3 Wild? Would you care to elaborate? Wild as in what type of wild? Thanks for the pics ! The folding chairs are brilliant, I want the same on my terrace . Charlotte, your photo with Sire has made me very happy indeed as it clearly shows that... ... HE HASN'T WAXED HIS CHEST ! Cheers, Id3 Oh, but he has shaved it. It definitely looked like he'd shaved it not too long ago and the hair is starting to grow back again . From what I have observed, he always does it on and off. It's just about when you see him and what moment of that cycle he is in . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sariflor Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Thanks! You do raise an intersting point. Well, I may of course be totally wrong , but I get the feeling that after changing the song so much from the one he did at PDP and the summer gigs, he will totally change the title to make it a different song "officially". But, as I said, this is only my hunch and I may be toooooooooootally off the mark here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I thought Rain would be kept as the title...just because. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you ever do it, Sire, vandalism is very bad form ! I am pleased to see that you didn't look at him in the eyes but as if he had been Miss Wonderbra . Don't worry, I would have done the same, a bit trickier for me as I am certainly taller than you are still I am sure I would have managed. Seeing that we are -once more- discussing Mica's body, am I the only one to have noticed that his overbite is getting a bit scary ? His wisdom teeth must be growing and pushing it forward and he looks more monkeyish by the minute... cute though . Cheers, Id3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmbm Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 fmbm, i finally took the time to watch your videos of the gig... they were quite nice ! thank you! Aw, glad you like them. You're welcome I always find that my voice sounds SO stupid when I watch these videos afterwards . And I also just say whatever comes to my mind on those occasions and then later feel like an idiot I know!

lollipop_monkey Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I noticed for the first time, on the meet Mika one, that staying so long in the US had given him back that famous -or infamous- 'American twang' he is reproached with... the guy's so flexible he could be a rubber band . Really? I find it interesting that you hear that 'cause my North American ears heard him sounding very British. In the meet and greet video, especially where he says the sentence "I like that jacket" - his pronunciation of "like" is so very English. Almost bordering on cockney. I always find that my voice sounds SO stupid when I watch these videos afterwards . And I also just say whatever comes to my mind on those occasions and then later feel like an idiot I love your accent. Next time I'm in a queue with you, I'm going to give you a copy of the local phonebook to read aloud. It'll keep me entertained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not always so enthusiastic, but thanks . I just feel like they often sound stupid that's all, like I speak before I think . I have re-watched your videos and they were so good! Thanks! I can't believe how close you must have been! She was standing right next to me, but she was zooming in more . I thought I'd zoom less so that the vids would be different and we'd cover all angles, as otherwise we'd end up with two sets of the exact same thing .

I wouldn't be able to THINK at all during a Mika concert, not even sure I would be able to handle a camera! She was standing right next to me, but she was zooming in more . I thought I'd zoom less so that the vids would be different and we'd cover all angles, as otherwise we'd end up with two sets of the exact same thing . And you really did that! Fantastic!

identicaltwin3 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Really? I find it interesting that you hear that 'cause my North American ears heard him sounding very British. In the meet and greet video, especially where he says the sentence "I like that jacket" - his pronunciation of "like" is so very English. Almost bordering on cockney. Ah, but haven't you noticed how his pronunciation of 'thought' varies from the vowel sound of 'bought' (King's -or Queen's - English) when he is in Britain to the vowel sound of 'nod' (so very American) when he is in the US ? Even stranger, at the Olympia we got the American version but at the Parc des Princes he was back to British ... the guy's definitely a freak . You shouldn't tell him to his face that he sounds cockney though , I don't think he would find it amusing . Cheers, Id3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

identicaltwin3 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Thanks for the pics ! I have a question. Well, a question and a request actually... First how on earth do you manage to stay 10 to 12 hours in front of a theatre on the day of a gig ? I don't mean that you would get bored, I could settle down for a week if I had a couple of good books with me. But how do you answer calls of nature ? At some concerts people just do it where they are ... don't tell me you did ! Second, could somebody comment the picture or the gang of fans with Mica taken after the gig, put a name on each face ? Not every MFCer know who is who ... Cheers, Id3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Id3 It sounds like it would get really dreadful, but when you're with other Mika fans it can actually be very fun and entertaining Lucky for us there was a bar next door, and we would sneak in and out of there to use their restroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One I have noticed is his pronunciation of "water" - even when singing, like in Billy Brown. Sometimes it's a very British "waugh-ter". Other times it's a very American "wadder." I took a linguistics class, and since then accents have fascinated me. And Mika's such a good subject to study with his peculiar, dynamic "airport accent."
