tiibet Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 His voice is so lovely I don't even like this song so much, but I'm quickly getting used to this version, he makes it sound very christmassy... Thanks for uploading!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 His voice is lovely but the music overpowers the vocals. It reminds me of those interviews where they are doing a voiceover in another language and you can't hear him properly. It's a shame because his vocals are really nice and they've actually done something a bit interesting if you stripped out the horns. Thanks for uploading Eloise.

basicamenteyo Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Thanks for posting Now that I heard it in full I can give my opinion. It's okay, but I really don't like the background "singers?" and the beginning. Would have liked it more with just his voice. I´m with you here... and the "african" sound at the end... I dislike it a lot but yes, his voice is amazing (but hey, we already knew that, didn´t we?). We have a version of this song in Spanish too, but it has NOTHING to do with this one... only the "vive le vent" part sounds the same I love how he finds the way to include falseto in EVERYTHING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Mika Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Thanks for posting! I like it a lot. That's because of his voice which is so soft,deep and even seductive:wub2: But the background vocals and music are really annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anney Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 thanks for posting!!!!!! I`m not exactly a fan of the song itself but mika sounds really good:blush-anim-cl:. I love his voice. the backround is baaaaah:sneaky2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lena Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Mika's voice is bland as the first snow ... And insinuating). I forgot even that the winter is cold). But background reminded a artificial snow and plastic trees...I not hear the Christmas bells almost...but maracas, palms and Cha Cha Cha. There are unnecessary musical experiments. I love the sound of the trumpets. And Mika's voice, of course. Yet I realized that I miss for His falsetto. Although I like most, when Mika sings without strain on His vocal chords. Love His baritone very much Edited November 20, 2011 by Lena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaImogen Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 [YOUTUBE]XkKW0sA55fI[/YOUTUBE] BUT HERE IT IS! FULL VIVE LE VENT! T4P! I like it, although it isn't his finest musical moment. But no one expected it to be, so I'm just going to enjoy what we have! The funny drums do sound a bit more exotic than Christmas, and it is a bit irregular throughout, but I think that only adds to its unique charm.

I love the fact it's Mika and the sound is very big band 50's but this is my 'time of the year ' so I'm going to lay back and enjoy. Wish he made a cd with traditional Xmas songs it would make a difference with my old Xmas collection and it would make the waiting for his new cd less long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lena Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I should take my words back. My headphones distorted the sounds, including voice. I hear all muffled, both through the water column. It turned out, the song sounds bright and juicy. Waiting for tomorrow to hear the song in full light. And Mika's voice will be even better! But the drums...

camille* Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I love his voice in there... Words sound so 'soft' But all in all I don't like the song, really not my cup of tea. Only Mika's voice would be great! BTW, I just saw the ad for this album on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melisanda Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I love it..it's warm, surprising, wonderful, original, interesting, illustrative, I can dance to it, love the carrabean rhythms, ...but I can't fully love it and I'm not excited cause I suffer from 'HE in trivial advert' trauma...; the symptoms are ...being distanced inside and seeing every song as a future commercial victim... (ok, transplantation adv., blood giving adv., saving nature adv. but shampoo ???....) (I love Mika being a free spirit but I wish I could know his reasons here... ) the worst thing is I don't really see a cure for that.... (so winter didn't freeze me but smething else did...feel frozen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
