Angelcakes Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hiya all in Mikaland. Not posted for a little while. I was listening to bits of Chris Evans show tonight on Radio 2. Towards the end he announced the Good, Bad and Ugly comments for today's single release - Mika's Let It Snow !!!!! It was obviously played earlier on (when I was at my mum's having tea), but I'm confused ! Is he releasing it ? Why can I find nothing about it here OR on mikasounds ? Why would they have played it if he is NOT releasing it ? General consensus was HIT ! (of course) Anyone shed any light ? Download from Universal Music Korea (thanks CLUEsounds!) http://play.universalmusic.co.kr/MIKA-Let_It_Snow.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbyyy Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 My mum heard this. She said that someone who said that it was 'ugly', said something like, ''Mika's just ruined Dean Martin's best song. He just keeps on singing higher and higher. He should just stick his dummy back in his mouth''. Lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keti Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 He'll be releasing it (IF he's releasing it) as a Christmas single? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I haven't heard anything about it being released as an official single, but he's certainly sung it often enough the last few weeks -- Angelcakes, check the Australia and Asia gig thread and you'll find links to youtube videos of Mika singing Let It Snow there.

Thanks hun - I looked at them the other week so I've seen it. I sooooo want it released to have a "proper" copy though Pity I missed what Chris said when he played it - I'll dig around on the Radio 2 website and see what I can find out......

AnnaMariaPetra Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 It would be great if he releases it, but he has to hurry then I think. I did email the YT-link to Dutch radio2, hopefully they pick it up too. Perhaps more MFC'er could sent it to radiostations in their countries?

kath Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 This is available on the listen again feature http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00pbrrt It is at about 1 30mins As you will hear if you listen, it is on an Island records Christmas album. He (Chris Evans) did make it sound like it would be a single though...........a little late to release it now I would have thought:shocked: Sounded fantastic though:mf_lustslow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the live-version better too! (the whole time I was thinking that I was listening to a version from a German radio studio ) You've said exactely what I was thinking too, about How I long to be out in the Storm. That's a strange sentence isn't it? He doesn't sing that in the live-one, he sings Oh how I hate to go out in the snow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't sing that in the live-one, he sings Oh how I hate to go out in the snow... yeah, that's the original text, how i hate going out in the storm. did he just forget the lyrics again? or did they make him record it for the album although he didn't want to, and so he messed it up on purpose? i could so imagine him doing that!

Perhaps they mean the first time he sings way.... And later on: since we have no place to go is also quit high... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnaMariaPetra Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Oh my: there are a few quit funny reactions, but also quit harsh. "Burry Mika in an avalanche...." "More cheesy then Gorgonzola..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marly Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I really like the song, but I do like the song he did on the Australian radio a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 any idea where to get that album? he says it's "out now", but i can't find it on amazon or google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbyyy Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Is there falsetto in his Let It Snow? I must have downloaded the wrong version then. My thoughts exactly. Or maybe the man just meant his singing in general (of his own songs), that they're 'too high'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 i've come to the conclusion that the different lyrics MUST have been on purpose, i mean, it's a recording, they're doing it until they got it right, no? and he could read the lyrics from a sheet. well, maybe he just found it funny.
