The Looking For Something Thread - Part II!


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a quote from Mika. It was something like that it is the worst thing if the audience thinks music/a song is only 'okay' and that it is better if they really like or really hate it.

 

Yes, it was something like that. Unfortunately I can't remember where I read it either :doh:

was it a quote from a video or was it in print? i seem to recall a video where He said something like this ...i'll look for it tonight.

 

 

 

 

also, is there a thread that lists all Mika's tourdates throughout the years? a fansite maybe? i got the list from mikasounds.com but i'm sure it's missing some dates; the Parc Des Princes gig is a glaringly obvious one :doh: But what about older dates especially?

thanks :)

Not sure if that's what you're looking for :blush-anim-cl:

Thanks for all your help and thanks for your quote, but that is not the one I'm looking for. That it is the worst thing that could happen is to get the reaction "good"/"okay" was part of the quote for sure.

 

Sadly I can't remember if it was printed or video.

I know what you mean, I saw it on the 'Live in Cartoon Motion' DVD.

So that's where it's from. :thumb_yello:

"When I was sending out my demos I'd get calls from people saying 'This is great, well done, you're really talented'. And then I'd get calls from other people going 'This is absolutely hideous, what are you doing, stop sending me stuff'. I just kind of rubbed my hands together and kept on going, you know, there is another door I had to knock on. But because some people love it, some people hate it, it's quite empowering. You never want people to go 'Oh, it's just okay', if everyone went 'It's just okay' that would be the worst."

 

And btw a good excuse to watch the documentary again :naughty:
