Christine Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 That is interesting! But my greatest impression was even not about electro music...It seems to me that Mika is not very happy with what Madonna made with his song. He pretends that it is OK, but in fact he is a bit disappointed to hear the result... What do you think? It's hard to say from a written interview? My overall impression (from all interviews) is that he is chuffed to be able to say he's written a song on her album. Even though the original theme and lyrics are better I think the end result is a lot better than her demo and therefore reflects better on him. The whole thing makes me wonder why Madonna doesn't "interpret" songs from scratch to start with instead of rewriting someone else's work with but I'm sure Mika is not complaining about the accolades and royalty cheques coming his way.

When he first tweeted about "Gang Bang", it seemed that he really likes the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he mentions it gladly, it is a huge promotion for him. If the song ended up to be that dull, he has to compensate moral frustration and have at least some commercial bonuses. :naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingkites Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 ok... someone should break it to him gently.... Mika, darrrrrrrling, you have no arse I guess he meant the part of his body where his legs connect to his lower back. That is interesting! But my greatest impression was even not about electro music...It seems to me that Mika is not very happy with what Madonna made with his song. He pretends that it is OK, but in fact he is a bit disappointed to hear the result... What do you think? To me it seems that he was surprised (and maybe a bit shocked?) to see how much Madonna changed the original one. Even when he tweeted about the song he said something like "it's very interesting where she took it". Maybe he had hoped they wouldn't have changed it so much. Of course it would've been much more impressive if he could say that he wrote a song for her and they decided to go with his version of it, instead of being able to say that he wrote a song Madonna ended up altering.

suzie Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 '21 year-olds I found on the internet.' Yes, that doesn't make him sound at all creepy. He was talking about Fryars and other young, talented musicians he worked with on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I thought he met frYars ages ago You never know what his story will be... Anyway, to me it is clear he is talking about artists / musicians he was working with. I don't know how he met up with Priscilla, either, but she also broke via the internet (her YT channel). (I think in the US she is a more famous songwriter than Mika thoiugh, so Madonna may have wanted to work with her in the first place). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I thought he met frYars ages ago Yes I think this is one of those "grain of truth" stories. He probably did meet him via the internet when he was 21 and he probably did write songs with him for this album. But the two did not happen at anywhere near the same time. I guess we'll find out when we see the song credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought that maybe William Orbit was the link, but now I think you might be right and Priscilla is the link...

eloise.shaw Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Thanks for this interview (sorry I'm late ) It's probably the first interview he has probably actually talked about the new album in a little bit of depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Madonna remembers that time when she met Mika for the very first time ages ago and she fell in love with his great arse Yes, I vote the last one He says it was William Orbit who took it to Madonna, didn't he?
