Guest Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Thank for the scans! It really made my day! I finally read the whole article ... it made me smile and cry at the same time. It was so touching "No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natmika Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 This is the best article about him I've ever read. The best part of it is that it shows Mika as a very complex (yes, strange too) human being. Most articles I've read treat him like a colorful, flamboyant artist that makes catchy tunes, but this one goes deeper. Though I don't know why, but it left me feeling a little bit sad.Does anybody feel the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iadoremika Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 My grandparents just emailed me saying that they got me the issue and would be sending it tomorrow.

RAK1 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Yeah! I felt a slight pang of sadness after I read it. I must say, I did feel some sadness too. I thought over the last year, that because things have gone so well for him, that it might have boosted his confidence considerably, but it seems, he still feels the same vunrability. I guess it will take a while longer, if at all for him to shake it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B!anka Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I didn't read it yet, but I don't understand something. Where is the magazine from?? Understand me please, I'm still recovering from the LOOK! Thank you for POSTING THE PICTURES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariposa Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Blue Eyes, thank you so much for the scans! Anybody still has a spare one for me? I'll pay the shipping fee etc. of course straight away. I usually don't feel urged to get a physical copy of a Mika article, but this one's special. So I would love to have one. Just PM me if you want to discard your mag. :teehee:Thank you. Wow probably the longest article but definitely the best! It was so thorough. Dr. John can't wait! I agree! Took me some time to fully read it - but it wasworth it! So "We are golden" is gonna be thefirst single...Can't wait to hear it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neiobi Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) Wow...I really don't know what to say about this interview. Just that it's the best I've ever read. Call it an exaggeration, but that's what I feel about it. It just describes him and portrays him in a much better way than any other interview and still not revealing that much, but really trying to get him more deeply and not superficially. Still can't quite get what he is as he says, but I just give in to not knowing. It's the way he shows things, the way he tells them, the way his life appears to be or was before... He may be compared to all those huge pop stars but there's something that can never be compared between them. Especially the confidence. He's quite a character and he doesn't seem to notice how great he is himself. That's what makes me a bit sad because it can be limitative... But I'm sure he's gone over that and it's just something that belongs to who he is. I loved that he said you can't make a record, or write one based on just wanting it to be a hit. You have to like what you're doing and you have to know that's something that will make you happy... I think if he did his records or anything just based on how it would suceed, things would come out meaningless in some way. Because there'd be no real feelings put onto it, it wouldn't be faced by him as another creation of his, but just something he's creating for others... I feel sad as some of you but have no idea why... In a way I have an idea why and that's because I see he's proud of being different, and a freak, but he still wants people to understand him and that's what makes things hard... I don't know if that's the truth for him and if that annoys him that people sometimes don't even try to get him but it's what I think... What makes me sad aswell is how he wants to sometimes seperate private life and his sexuality from his music or just for people not to regard his music thinking about that but people will always be questioning themselves and him about it like that part of his private life absolutely define their love for him or can put them off of him or...It's just a bit frustrating. I'm not going on Mika's defense here, it's just again my opinion. I also think that the part of having a close circle of friends is because having a larger one is just something that doesn't appeal to him that much... Because most of those people won't understand him or won't like to spend time with the person he really is and not the person he publically is. I think his mom also did well on modelling him, or teaching him seperately from all that outside world because someone who's different from anybody else in many ways can get a bit lost out there with all the "common" people and standard opinions and I think by giving him that education he could really take advantage of his oddness for his own good. "because I think that things that are really good should never cost a lot of money. " And I so agree to this... This post is so confusing for me but this interview was a lot to again, sink in and think about... And geez, it's big.

alice.loves.mika Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) Thank goodness! I'm not the only freak out there! No, no! You're not a freak! (well...maybe we all are) It's understandable. I suppose we all project ourselves into Mika's shoes and just...imagine what it's like...or know what it's like. If not, we can see there is something in Mika that each one of us can relate to.

superstar Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Wow, wow, wow. Am I the only one who thinks that this might be the best Mika interview ever? Maybe it's because there was so much time put into it. Mika has really grown up, and it shows. Bring on the next record! I have a few spare copies PM me to let me know when to send the money via Paypal. I must say, I did feel some sadness too. I thought over the last year, that because things have gone so well for him, that it might have boosted his confidence considerably, but it seems, he still feels the same vunrability. I guess it will take a while longer, if at all for him to shake it. True. As much as we'd like to know everything about Mika, it's fair to let him keep as much about himself private as he wants to.
