Mika's backing vocalist 'iMMa' - exclusive Mika blogs!


iMMa

Recommended Posts

oh she is she really goes for it onstage lol I like how she does that, cos it means she aint just going through the motions but enjoying herself yeeey, (she also has an awesome sense of humour dont you think?) :thumb_yello:

 

Exactly! Also, she's really sweet to the fans--all this fame hasn't gone to her head. You can tell because she interacts with the audience really well, and she wrote me back on Facebook! That was a big deal :blush-anim-cl:

 

more than likely they seem to work as a team in some of their adventures lol. :teehee:

 

Well SOMEONE had to film to human bowling! :naughty:

i was kind of disgruntled by Sam and Saraynade leaving, but well, i LOVE iMMa! Shes so awesome in so many ways.. i hope she stays with mika forevs :wub2:

 

She's great with Mika, and I want her to stay, too!

 

On the other hand, her solo stuff is awesome. I hate to say it, but that voice is too good to be on backing vocals forever. Sorry Mika. :naughty:

Ooh, good find! I was actually looking for a recording where you can hear her really clearly. Vancouver was great for that; maybe it was the sound combined with being on that side of the stage, but I could hear iMMa's vocals along with the bass parts really well. :punk:

 

I LOVE the way she just rocks it out during Happy Ending! Don't tell Mika, but I'd love to hear a recording of iMMa covering that song. :wub2:

Ok, so some of us went to see her gig last night and she was truly amazing. What a voice!! So powerful and at the same time delicate. She really is quite something.

I video'd all the songs so here they are. The last two are still pending, I will put them up tomorrow.

 

 

 

iMMa - Walking @ The Cuban in London, acoustic set 120110

 

iMMa - Cats And Dogs @ The Cuban in London, acoustic set 120110

 

iMMa - God Send @ The Cuban in London, acoustic set 120110

 

iMMa - I'm Just A Nobody @ The Cuban in London, acoustic set 120110

 

iMMa - Puppet On A String @ The Cuban in London, acoustic set 120110

 

 

iMMa - Denial @ The Cuban in London, acoustic set 120110

 

 

iMMa - Envelope Kisses @ The Cuban in London, acoustic set 120110

 

 

Watch them, she is incredible!!! I find that her style (vocally) is like a mix betweek Shakira and Kate Bush :naughty:. Not that one needs to define people comparing them to others, but the minute she started singing, that is what just came to my mind.

Anyway, enjoy!!

I LOVE this song. I take it she didn't do Poison Eyes or Chasing Heroes? I guess those aren't exactly ideal for an acoustic setting, but they're my other faves. :wub2:

 

That venue looks really cool. Did I hear someone say that was in Camden? I <3 Camden.

Yeah, her voice is really amazing, it's very powerful. You just don't see it when she's doing the backing vocals, but when she sings by herself it's so obvious :wub2:.

She was telling us that she was also a kiddie opera singer, a bit like Mika.

No, she didn't do those two, but you know, I'm having with her the same usual problem that I always have with good artists: once I hear them live, I can't really listen to the recorded stuff. I have to listen to the live stuff, because I much prefer that :blink:.

 

And yes, the gig was in Camden. In a little Cuban (supposed to, anyway) place tucked into the Stables area. Right next to Proud.

I also love Camden too, but we were saying on the night that sometimes the vibe can be a little bit dogdy if there aren't many "normal" people around. But when there's a good vibe, I love it. It's so vibrant :thumb_yello:.

Anyway here is the full list of videos now:

Rate and comment on youtube please!

Tell me about it. I ended up wandering the streets of Camden at 1:30am during the Tube strike last June. :aah:

 

It didn't feel unsafe then, though just...erm...eccentric? :roftl:

 

The first time when I truly appreciated iMMa's vocals was when I heard her sing the ending of "Happy Ending" at the Baden-Baden concert. What a diva voice she has.

 

I love what she brings to Happy Ending. I find myself focusing on her diva vocals now in most live recordings. :wub2:

 

Immas playing in Camden on the 26th of February, for anyone who might be around for the Mika gig on the 28th. :thumb_yello:

 

Oh wow, the day after Mika's gig in Birmingham, no? Go on MFCers, go show the poor tired girl some support. :naughty:

I really enjoyed listening to her voice yesterday (an interview and an acoustic set). What a lovely voice she has, I went immediately to iTunes to find Cats and Dogs, it was my favorite.

 

I'm sorry I can't go to her gig on 26th Feb, I will arrive on 27th!

 

Sara, thanks for the links, I'll go watch them :thumb_yello:
