He said there'd be an other clip video for it, that he's actually making 'bonus' videos with the songs of this new album, such as the ones he's already done with MYH & TOOL~

 

owh i get it now...

 

 

No, he said they'd make a different video for it. I just assumed that means it will be a single

 

maybe they want to make one for under 18s :naughty:

First part of the interview ;)

 

Hosts :After the million albums he's been selling we are very proud to welcome here again Mika.

The fans : Mika Mika Mika Mika

Lady :Mika , we are so happy you're here. And so happy to see you since you did so great with this song " Elle Me Dit" but we didn't see you then or heard you then.

Mika: Even in the video I was hiding .

Lady: How do you feel?

Mika: I'm just fine. Actually this is the very first program I'm doing with this album.

Denisot Thank you. With this first live song and the new album, we see a new Mika, not disguised , more simple, less confetti, more sober.

Mika: Actually one of my titles says " I only love you when I'm drunk" so... but maybe I'm more simple in my own complicated way.

Lady: I love this song so much.

Denisot: But the design of the album is much simpler.

Mika: Do you have it here?

Lady: Yes, we have it .

Mika: So I decided to separate it in black and white me and colors for the background , yes I don't know, there is an evolution and in the music too.

Lady: There's a huge wind of freedom in this album. When you listen to it it fills you with happiness. And we read it is "more adult and less light" "the liberation album" Isn't it a bit frightening when a journalist looks at you and tells you " This is your mature album Mika"

Mika: Well I sure hope to have some evolution throughout my albums . It would be awful to become a charicature of yourself.

Denisot : Before you always mentioned Chantal Goya, now you mention Barbara.

Mika: Chantal Goya, Barbara, there isn't so much difference (joking) I always say Gainsbourg taught me about sex, Barbara about sadness , that's why I wanted to sing in French in the album because French songs are part of my upbringing so it was very important for me.

Lady: You offered yourself lots of freedom in this album. So much There is so that you even included "Beatocue" in the album for the remix.

Mika: Beatocue? Beatlejuice?

Lady : In French we say it "Bite au cul" ("dick in ass")

Mika: It's all my fault then.

Lady: The album is filled with surprises and remixes. I really wanted to put the emphasis on that.

Lady and Denisot: We are going to watch the movie for The Origin Of Love. You were co film director for it. It is a bit sulphurous.

Lady: It is a short movie and a very good one.

Mika: There will also be a clip for the song, but this was a short film, because I'm making lots of short films as well for the other songs of the album.

Lady: It is said to be sulphurous but it is easily watched , no problem.

Mika! What does "sulfureux" (sulphurous) mean?

Lady: It's a bit hot, you need to hide your eyes with your hands and be careful, but not at all in reality. So watch it by any means.

Lady: I think this album is carried by a very optimistic sound and very strong hearts . I don't know if it is easy for you to talk about it but is this all linked to the tragic accident that happened to your sister.

Mika: In a way it triggered it . To see my sister in such a situation kind of destroyed my ego , my pride and I was a bit patinated , in a sense the surface collapsed . It is wierd that such a tragic and shocking event could be the start of an album which is about joy and love.

Denisot: And there is also love in this album. It is very clear in your title "The Origin Of Love" , you talk about love as someone who is in love.

Mika: Yes.

Lady: Are you in love?

Mika: Yes .

Lady: This summer you wanted to share that you were in love with another man. Was it difficult for you to say it or was it liberating?

Mika: It was liberating and frankly it is something very important to do when you are happy first you have found love, lost love and found love again and you can say look at me I'm happy , I have a happy life , normal life, I'm proud of my life even if I love a man and it's cool and I'm so happy.

They didn't have to mention it, did they?

And you're not rude, you just make us appreciate all the things the poor man has to go through when putting out an album :mikasweat:

A little bit more of the interview , less interesting

 

Hosts: Many musical influences, Freddy Mercury, Scissor Sisters, Prince, Michael Jackson, you cultivate this androgynous side. There's a Michael Jackson CD box that's just been released. It is said that Michael Jackson often sang his songs in French before singing them in English.

You might release a CD in French too some day so you'd better make sure you get a reliable person to translate the lyrics from French to English. "I just can't stop loving you "

They play the song "translated" in French , but in the worst possible way.

Mika: Is that a joke?

Hosts: No, it's just been released.

Lady: It's not a joke, I'm offering you the album.

Hosts: Would you make a whole album in French at some point ?

Mika: Well in the new album there are four songs in French which Dorian and I took about three or four days to write. So those four songs in French now and maybe the next step an album in French, I don't know.

Lady: I take this opportunity to say how much I love "Un soleil mal luné", just Mika's voice and piano , it is the song I love most in the album.

Hosts: Grace Kelly died thirty years ago. This takes us back to your first song because she inspired you.

 

Mika: I don't know Grace Kelly very well. of course I know her story, her face.

Denisot: The myth.

Mika:Yes, the myth, but it was my grand mother . Grace Kelly was idol of her generation. In my song I said I can be like Grace Kelly, like Freddie Mercury, who should I be to please you?

In the rest of the video , I've already explained it is the fast speaking guys telling Mika to consider a choice of ridiculous French people he should make a French album with . And I need to solve my sound problem anyway, but the best part of the interview is the first one . (when they let Mika speak )
