keti Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I understand him I only like his part because his voice sounds so distinctive from others. But they certainly could've given him a better part to sing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Sky Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I think they gave him the worst line of the song...it is not like he didn't sing any other lines when they were laying down the track, we heard him in the Tony Cowell podcast...I bet he was disappointed they picked that line for him:aah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweet.pixie Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I understand him I only like his part because his voice sounds so distinctive from others. But they certainly could've given him a better part to sing... I totally agree with you. As I was reading I was thinking that I really love the way he sounds in the song because his voice is sooo different than the others, it's so much better You could totally recognize him without making too much effort. I don't like his line but just because it was too short, there were other people who sang so much more than he did, but I like the fact that he played the piano because that increses his participation, the thing is that if you don't know that you can't realize --> yes, I really want him to shine as much as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se7en1een Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 it's just a little bit unfit... maybe the line didn't fit Mika... or he is too harsh to himself,I think! this song is just made for some contribution! in my opinion~I think the whole song is bad if compare with the R.E.M！ but the cover can built something today~~ btw. have a tour for China!! Especially the Mainland!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babspanky Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 David balls does a lot of mika interviews, I hate this kind of ****. David Balls probably scours the MFC for radio and print interviews and just cobbles bits together or takes bits completely out of context, sticks on an eye catching strap line and hey presto, news story. What a load of bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Well Mika, that's what you get for being a "diva" and having to make James Morrison wait No of course I'm kidding. Mika's voice is distinctive but I don't think he sounds like a freak. At least he's involved and it raises his profile, that's the main thing. POSITIVE OUTLOOK MEEKS, MY DEAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I couldn't find any podcasts on that radio site, so yeah. Maybe they'll add it later. Maybe David Balls heard the original interview when it was first broadcast then? But wherever he gets his info, it doesn't look like it's first hand to me. And out of context. I imagine Mika could have said this, but in a self-deprecating, throwaway way, and meant nothing by it really, just chatter. And before we know it, it's a bloody headline that could make Mika look like a self absorbed twat. Recockulous. Especially as we know Mika is one of the most unassuming, self critical people there are out there in showbizland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
