Naectegale Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 Christine, Naectegale, I responded to it. I realized that they did not talk about politics. Oh - I see what you mean You are right - Mika wouldn't ever be an ordinary politician. But if he ruled the world there would be more peace, love, fun and colour so I would vote for that if I could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamy_Queen Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Have you tried this? http://www.expatshield.com/ When you install it and switch it on you will be surfing with a UK proxy and then you can watch it on iPlayer. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01l8nqc/Newsnight_27_07_2012/ You'll get ads inside your browser but once you're finished you can just switch it off and you can surf normally again. Otherwise I can try to record it tomorrow. Oh, would you please, Christine!

suzie Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Thank you so much for uploading it on YT. Just watching it now and I am fangirling. ( I rarely do it for interviews ) I hope people will realize it is worth inviting him for some tv chats as he seems to feel at ease, has manners and most importantly, has intelligent things to say. Non-typical popstar in every aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariposa Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Thank you for uploading it on Yt! Great to see him feeling so comfortable just sitting there and giving really good answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Mastin Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 In Russian interview he said that He hates politics and politicians. Of course, this translation sounded. Maybe He said He loved politics. I do not understand why He was in this studio. I see no reason for Him to be there. Because he was wonderful, that's why! It was great publicity, and Mika is not just a singer/songwriter, he's wonderful at speaking too. It's great that his PR people booked him for this, since he wasn't involved with the opening ceremony itself. Besides, if he wants to do a talk show, he can, it's his decision. Lena, I think you have this, too idealised version of Mika in your head, that has no comparison with the real flesh-and-blood man. You want him to be this God-like creature, who never falls in love with anyone, stays on his own until he sees you somewhere and falls in love with you. It's not going to happen, so please get a life. Make friends and get out and meet a man of your own who can give you the love that Mika can't ever give you.

And I want Him be ideal. But I have long ceased to dream that He will love me. If I find other man, then I will spit with high mountains on Mika. Because I can't love two at once. And I don't want. And I will never accept the fact that I see. I said that no one will break me. Even He . If He break me I would die. Let. I'm holding for now. I hate other men, except Him. Why can't accept me for who I am? I will not adapt are not under anyone. Is it not what Mika does ? I love Him blindly, but I not able to follow Him blindly . What's wrong with that, I knocked out of the total mass of fans. What's wrong, I love Him the way I love? I am not a bad person just because I'm who I am.

robertina Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Can you please move your private discussions out of the MFC? thanks. All this is disturbing and pointless. This is Mika's fanclub. thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lena Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 And I understand that it is useful to Him. It is necessary for His career. But I felt uncomfortable. out of place. He was tense. ----- I'm sorry, Robertina. I know I'm not out of place too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertina Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I could watch the show now, thanks to YT and Christine. I've found the Ceremony quite interesting, huge but not triumphalist, human and very well directed. I loved the NHS reference, which seems to me quite a slap in the face of the US I agree with all Mika said, and I also noted the lesbian kiss...something only the british could hint at. i think Sit Paul should not dye his hair though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 And I understand that it is useful to Him. It is necessary for His career. But I felt uncomfortable. out of place. He was tense. I really don't think so. He seems very comfortable and confident to me, not tense at all. Mika always handles himself well but he's usually talking about himself and answering the same questions over and over so it's expected. But it was very impressive the way he easily jumped into a discussion about something that he'd only just seen (unless Es Devlin tipped him off ). His comments were insightful and it was clear that he has a very wide ranging understanding of culture and arts and is therefore an ideal participant in a discussion like this.
