Moonlightchild Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Wow! Some of you actually think Mika Sold out with this - according to you - "audience friendly/ radio friendly," Mika has compromised, feel cheated about Mika abandoning us, - WTF??Are you Nuts????? I wouldn't expect everyone to like/love We Are Golden - But - Listen to yourselves - You are Not talking about the Mika that I & Millions of fans have come to like! Did you listen to the lyrics?? I happen to Love "We Are Golden" - I actually usually respect others for their variable viewpoints - but - that isn't what irks me about your critique. Listen to We Are Golden a few more times. Listen to the lyrics. Then return & get your heads out of your arses & actually critique it with some intelligence & Knowledge remembering who the Artist is!! I am sure I will get my Butt Kicked here for my view on the few of you who think Mika sold out - But - You Pi--ed me off!! I Love We Are Golden & my Congrats to Mika!! I can't wait for the Whole Album in September!! First of all,mind your language,you truly hurt my feelings. Second I sad it sounds too commercial to me, that's just an opinion and has noting to do with not being intelligent, I'm intelligent enough to give my opinion. than,I said it would be a good song to get his feet into America (what's wrong with that!) So you just think people are stupid and have their heads in...(no I'm not gonna quote that) because they are not excited about this song and because they have an opinion about it. With this post you, yourself don't sound that smart to me. And it's like someone else said here, just like her I'm over 30 and it doesn't do it for me. But, I have to say it's growing on me. BTW; I never said it's a bad song,I just said it was not what I expected it would be and I still think it's not his best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlightchild Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Everything that has been stated on this thread are people's feelings and opinions about a song. Nothing else. Music is something that you feel, you like or dislike, but this is not something that can be rationalised or logically explained. When you say that people should critique the song using "some intelligence and Knowledge" (why you capitalise random words including this one, I won't ever understand, but hey, each to their own) you are actually insulting a number of people, and that is not very nice to be honest. Incidentally, a sign of intelligence would also be to know what you can or cannot say to people, and in this case I believe that you've overstepped the mark. This was quite unnecessary, don't you think? We're just a bunch of fans giving our (subjective, as they would all be, this is not molecular biology after all) opinions, and everyone is bound to have different ones. As long as nobody is actually being offensive to anyone else, or to Mika, and stating these opinions respectfully, we should be fine. It's posts like these that threaten to throw the balance. agree:thumb_yello: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 The song is still stuck in head I like the new cover better than the first one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
identicaltwin3 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I can't stop listening to the Myspace version... I'm sure we will have to fight to get into the venue at the next tour. I wish I could -sulking again... Sleepless for some reason, I've seen the light at 5 in the morning -all great men, Napoleon, a Leo too, and Sire included have been insomniacs- and now I know why I don't much enjoy WAG : no melody to speak of .

identicaltwin3 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I know what you mean! Maybe this not the place to talk about it but I think that so far, on my own top list of Mika’s songs, SITM is a clear and outstanding favourite. I have been collecting many different versions of that song from different gigs and I never get tired to hear them. That song has, apart from the lyrics, which is a masterpiece in itself, so much variation in it, with his voice, the humming part and the endless ways he treats it on the piano! Just love it! Don't worry, love : f we didn't post off topic this wouldn't be the MFC . SITM lyrics are poignant, at the same time so loving, so bitter and so wistful... I bet there is one guy whose eyes are brimming whenever he listens to it. It's a beautiful love song, as touching as HMDYLM, in a different way of course . I myself am not partial to the jazzy piano part of it. It kind of ruins the magic . If you have got many versions of it -so have I- can you VM me which is/are your fave(s) ?

Shikutukumimika Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Wha, I still didn't post my opinion. Maybe I shouldn't do it now, after the loads of coffee I had and after I got up at 5:42 am. We Are Golden, eh? It sounds happy. But, it's a happy-sounding-sad-song-with-a-meaning. I hope he didn't hurt himself. I mean, he sings "I hurt myself" but I hope that's just saying, not doing. Because it hurts to hurt yourself. I don't want him to be hurt. Okay, it probs just fit in with the rest of the lyrics, but I am worried. Okay, that didn't make sense. So, I kinda like the song but I think it's weird. It sounds so typical pop-ish but also typical weird Mika-ish. Okay, forget it, I think I'm just being weird.

sariflor Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 It wants me to install Flash and to do that it wants me to turn off Firefox! I don’t dare to do that! Just do it . it's totally safe (and quite necessary). Just say yes to everything, accept, it will take you to the adobe website (the makers of flash), install it, and then restart Firefox or explorer or whatever.
