adda Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I just saw the news on TV - for now it's only in romanian sorry I'll update right away. http://www.jurnalul.ro/stire-special/mika-editie-speciala-27-iulie-550165.html Later EDIT: A Quick GOOGLE TRANSLATION. "Mika, real name Mica Holbrook was born on August 18, 1983. Is born in Beirut, Lebanon, but he settled in London after several years of living in Paris. Comes from a multicultural family - mother Lebanese American father. Because of its nature very shy, often Mika was considered a misfit. Its apparent oddity led his mother to withdraw him from school and take care of his son's education at home. Mika took lessons from a teacher of Russian opera. She sang at the Royal Opera House. He appeared no more than five octaves! He grew up listening to diverse music - Bob Dylan, Serge Gainsbourg or Fairuza Lebanese music from his parents, then "pop music in the truest sense possible, because whether it was a rock song or a piece of Nina Simone could hear the song, its message ... and it gave me a certain feeling of invincibility, "says the artist. Mika began his pop career with a defining song "Grace Kelly, who has sold nearly 3 million copies worldwide. He followed his debut album Life In Cartoon Motion, a megasucces the sales of six million records. All the released singles became hits: "Relax (Take It Easy)", "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)", "Happy Ending" or "Lollipop". Cover the first disk "Mika Life in Cartoon Motion was made by his sister Yasmine, who uses the pseudonym Dawack artist. This album will accompany the July 27 Special Edition. Pleasant listening! Nice dancing!" I GOT IT! AND A BIG THANK YOU NICOLETA FOR THESE: SCANS & PICTURES - part 01 SCANS & PICTURES - part 02 SCANS & PICTURES - part 03 My short review: The LICM is the version only with: Grace Kelly Lollipop My Interpreatation Love Today Relax (Take It Easy) Any Other World Billy Brown Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) Stuck in the Middle Happy Ending - no booklet - only MIKA with the cup on the inside. With the CD came a mini-newspaper about MIKA. On every page are the lyrics for the songs on the CD. There are some pictures of him but nothing new. Also some texts about his music, his life and career - also nothing new + things that uninformed people say from what they've heard + "fan" letters and small paragraphs. the "front page" (the text cited right next to him says: "You shouldn't be afraid to stand out!") All of "this" for approx 5$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
