Charlotte_ Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I don´t know why you dislike the song I think French people deserve him more than British ones, sometimes.. He grown there, he lived there, he loves France, I think, why should he continue in that British production when he´s not even nominated for Brit awards this year? I think he deserves more attention from UK. But that´s only my opinion. Anyway, Elle me dit is only bonus track for his next-coming album, so don´t worry, French will appear only few times. And I love that he´s not always the same, he tries to change a little but he keeps the basic of his music + 1 I couldn't express my opinion any better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the song is monotone for the most part, until the chorus and such. It's different and not everyone likes change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naectegale Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Not be so strict, Christine!. This is new for Mika. And all music in World is sung already and it is very difficult to think up some new style. Certainly, it is possible to try to sing and simultaneously to hiccup. Any did not sing this still , I think... :roftl: I'm trying to imagine Mika writing a hiccup song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Sky Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Well I like it, it's catchy, it seems to appeal to the masses, he needs a hit song....but is this it?? I do think Mika is capable of something so much more melodic.... It's been on repeat now for 20 minutes...I am still singing along.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shine Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 My mum says the song reminds her of Plastic Bertrand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsXknE8LOEI Exactly my thoughts. And its' more similar to his style than to Yelle's Imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I just listened to 3 Yelle´s songs - I don´t think it sounds like Elle me dit. It's not that elle me dit sounds like one of Yelle's songs in particular, it's just the same style of music. It certainly sounds more like Yelle's style of music than Mika's usual style(s).

Louiza Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Absolutely love it!!! Very fresh sound, the lyrics are really interesting and the fact it's in French makes it even more special :wub2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shine Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 but.... wasn´t "elle" his mom? so it´s from his childhood again?? "go play with a ball"?? cause obviously his mom is not thinking TODAY that he´s wasting his time.... isn´t she?? Could "Elle" also refer to Melachi?

Do you know how big France is? haven't been in France:mf_rosetinted: No i'm just wondering about the other countries, i'm not sure it's going to be a hit like grace kelly.

Mikasister Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I just listened to 3 Yelle´s songs - I don´t think it sounds like Elle me dit. Agree! I heard Yelle sometimes and Elle me dit is better than Yelle's songs I think people needs changes in his life and Mika is not an exception.... I like that song..more pop, yes, but he told in an interview that his new album would be more pop than the last ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he deserves more attention from UK. But that´s only my opinion. Anyway, Elle me dit is only bonus track for his next-coming album, so don´t worry, French will appear only few times. And I love that he´s not always the same, he tries to change a little but he keeps the basic of his music First of all: I don't think that anybody 'deserves' anything from him or him as person. He's free to do whatever he wants and as an artist he himself should be the only person who influences / decides about his work. Apart from that I don't share your opinion that France or the UK are more / less important for him. Every experience and time of his life made him the person he is now. And whoever decides who gets a Brit Award isn't responsible for making an artist feel more comfortable in a country or something like that. Does he need more attention? Yes, of course. And not only in the UK. In most European countries. As I'm German I could talk ages about what goes wrong in my country. But that's not 'the country's fault' but the consequence of how his music label(s) work(s). It all depends on the promotion they do / don't. How on earth can he be successfull when there isn't a single advert about a gig / cd / whatever? And so on. I'm not happy with the promotion in some countries at all but we won't change that... What I don't like about the song is basically that it's French and that I don't get a word. I never liked French music as I don't like the language. That's a personal thing. I read the translation but it's still not the same. I won't be able to sing along. I don't understand him when he sings it, etc. As I already said: that's a personal thing. Plus I have the feeling that he is very focused on France these days. Nothing wrong with that. I just wish he would be doing promo all over the world In other words: I feel a bit left out even though I know that I'm lucky enough to be able to travel to gigs this year. About changes: I don't like them too much in general but I can bear a musician to change I know that it's a bonus song this time. I'm just a bit worried about the future.

Miss.roxy Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 in dog years maybe! He has Melachi for a year yo? He got het as a puppy so Melachi ís not older than 15 months I suppose. 1 year of dog´s life = 7 years of human´s life, so melachi should be like 8 or 9 years old girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
