- off topic- where did 'PM Sunny Monkey for custom title' come from? what does it mean? :blink:

 

Back in the old MFC days, you were assigned titles like "Mika Obsessive" or "New Mika Fan"....stuff like that, based on how many posts you had. I think you would PM Sunny Monkey if you didn't want to labeled :lol3:

Actually, I think once you reached what was supposedly an

exorbitant number of posts :wink2: you would PM Sunny Monkey, who

was the founder of the MFC and admin at the time, to ask for a

special title to honor your achievement -- like "Knows More about Mika

than Mika!" :naughty:

 

But now everyone has the ability to change their user title to (almost)

whatever they like :thumb_yello:

Stars who would be king

 

 

The editor of Q, Paul Rees, tips an even younger star. "The best pop song that I've heard in a long time is Mika's forthcoming single "We Are Golden". Given that pop royalty are, by the very nature of the role, supposed to be entirely over the top and divide people strictly into love and hate camps, Mika will do the job as well as anyone."

 

 

 

We've heard that it will be released July 17 *worldwide*... so I guess

we'll keep our ears open and see what happens in 10 days! :thumb_yello:

 

As for the title -- not really interested in that. The thing that stood

out for me was the high praise for the single... and for Mika himself.

I really am anxious to hear We Are Golden! :woot_jump:

 

me too!

 

thanks for posting, Deb! :flowers2:

Lol, I have been thinking about that user title thing but have been too shy to ask :biggrin2:

 

About We Are Golden. I'm SO excited now, even more than earlier!! Can't wait :wub2: But about the title "king of pop"... In that case he should please everyone, and I don't want him to do that. I want him to do his own thing. But of course it is nice they say his name in the article :thumb_yello:

 

Thanks for posting this :thumb_yello:

Although it should be taken as a compliment to be considered the next "King of Pop" - MIKA's already holding the title of the Kind & Fine Wizard (of Pop)

 

Thanks for the article deb.

 

 

Kind & Find Wizard of Pop is a grand title! :wub2:

 

 

 

Perhaps we should wait till Madonna gets too old and vote for Mika as "Queen of Pop" instead...

:shocked:

 

Wow! If the editor of Q said that, I am becoming more certain the new album is going to go down well with the music press in the UK... Perhaps it will be less Marmite and more of a little gem:thumb_yello: ...

 

Not that I had any problem with the first one, but I can see the difference between Thriller and LICM - both brilliant but LICM you have to listen with an open mind and understand the concept...

 

...ok, too much 'philosophy' in this post...what I wanted to say is:

 

I can't wait to hear We Are Golden

 

..doubt it can top Toy Boy for me, but perhaps it will bring the ultimate breakthrough for Mika

king of pop. king of hearts?

 

we are golden is a platinum song to its core. if the stars should align, and i see they may, mika will spend a fortnight at number one with it. in france its power will be unmatched.

Indeed! I was watching the LICM DVD the other night with my mum and at the documentary he said soomething about Jean-Paul Gaultier, that he was there because of his music and not because how deep his personality really was.

 

Then mum came up with a really nice line about it, that I found to be so true:

 

"How can someone ever listen to his music and understand it without knowing a little bit of what he is as a person?"

 

Look at Lollipop for example! If we didn't know what was it all about it would've been the dumbest song ever! But the messages behind the songs you can only find in his way of being, not in the obvious lyrics.

 

T4P, Deb!

 

I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR WAG!!!!! :boing:

 

Bianca

EDIT: I don't really want him to be the next King! Not even the next Prince! I just want him to be himself for as long as possible and don't ever go with the flow and lose himself on the way for fame/money or anything else!

i like what that guy said about "we are golden" - can't wait to hear it! :fangurl: but i wouldn't want mika to be as famous as MJ ... it's not healthy to be THAT famous. but i think we had this discussion in another thread a while ago.

It seems like everyone has heard We are golden except us, I'm going to explode from anxiety!:blowup:

 

I am sooooo curious about that song….it’s a pain!:sneaky2:

 

Perhaps we should wait till Madonna gets too old and vote for Mika as "Queen of Pop" instead...:biggrin2:

 

Wonka….doing you’re best to be send to the naughty corner again?

I’m starting to suspect you like it in there!:naughty:

 

 

He's the King of Freaks :freak::pinkbow:

(us being the freaks)

 

Oh I love that as I’m feeling like a freak and it’s a good feeling!

Who wants to be just ordinary anyway?:squirrel:

 

 

 

I can't wait to hear We Are Golden

Toy Boy....yes it's very special, I love it so much...but you never know!:wub2:

 

According to the judgements by the journalists it sounds like We Are Golden should be something extra special!

Exciting!:wink2:

 

 

Oh and thanks for posting!!!!!!
