Christine Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 No one can, not even Mika yet.... Yes I just saw this. I think the real loss is the synthed-up vocals. Rain and Relax are dancy too, but at least they showcase that he can sing like very few others can. I think what they've done to his vocals makes him sound like any other mediocre singer. Something I didn't realize about this autotuned thing is that it makes the voice sound so nasal. You can really hear it with Rebecca Black's Friday and anything Britney Spears does but I always chalked it up to them being Americans (not to mention no-talents! ) but even Mika sounds nasal in this song. After a couple of listens it doesn't bother me anymore because I know Mika's voice so well that nothing can mask it in the end but I wonder what others hear when they listen to it. But then again this seems to be such a popular trend that I guess a lot of people like this sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToyGirl Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I love it! I'm addicted to it since yesterday. I listen to the song non-stop. Actually, it's the only song that I've heard since yesterday Love it love it love it! Can't wait to hear more new songs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromthee Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I def like it :-). I think French music normally is a bit more monotonic, at least that's the impression I got when I lived there. It takes some getting used to and then it suddenly becomes pretty amazing :-). So maybe that's why "Elle me dit" is more monotonic than usual, it's written in a French/Mikalandish music culture mindset rather than a Brittish/Mikalandish?

PommeNoir Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 That's the song I can't get out of my head for 2 days, but I don't mind, I gotta learn the lyrics. Nice single for summer, but he has a lot of better songs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anney Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Î needed to listen twice to fall in love with the song . But then I read the translation of is on mfc and am totally addicted!!! So you all can guess what I voted:teehee: I`m soooo happy to hear something new but I hope that not all song will be like that. I mean that mellody with lots of computer in it... but a fantastic song^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kath Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I heard the opening and thought "Plastic Bertrand" Yes, my thought exactly. I don't like it. But I think that may have more to do with the way I am feeling at the moment (recently bereaved) than the actual song. Maybe I will change my mind next week when I see Mika sing it live. Probably will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've summed up the song beautifully. Of course he'll do his usual thing on his album, but this song shows his versatility; and his status as a true international star!
