Julia Welcomes Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Yes, I also count Songs for Sorrow . But anyway the idea of a gift is good, though they think it`s an easy listening. More Mika!

Promo in quebec, i must dream.....
cathouzouf Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 yeah, it's cool! Promo in quebec, i must dream..... exactly! I pinched myself
Zimwana Posted November 23, 2012 Author Posted November 23, 2012 yeah, it's cool! Promo in quebec, i must dream..... I couldn't believe it either, his songs never play on the radio!
cathouzouf Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I couldn't believe it either, his songs never play on the radio! CKOI does play them, Karen is #8 in the top 30 French songs:thumb_yello:
Zimwana Posted November 23, 2012 Author Posted November 23, 2012 CKOI does play them, Karen is #8 in the top 30 French songs:thumb_yello: Yes indeed in Montreal, but not in Quebec city - that's what I meant. I have to say I never listen to the radio but I'm looking at their website. It's strange, I would have thought they played the same songs
cathblais Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Yes indeed in Montreal, but not in Quebec city - that's what I meant. I have to say I never listen to the radio but I'm looking at their website. It's strange, I would have thought they played the same songs Same thing here, in Sherbrooke. Something's wrong with the Champlain Bridge?
Alie Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 They don't play Elle me dit on your radio stations ? I can hear it almost everytime I'm listening to the radio (and I never listen to it so... !). NRJ are playing it twice a day as I can see on their website. Drummond's better than Quebec and Sherbrooke. But never heard Karen...
Zimwana Posted November 24, 2012 Author Posted November 24, 2012 Yes it seems that NRJ play Elle me dit twice a day (but not the other songs) in Québec as well. Like I said I never listen to radio
cathouzouf Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Yes it seems that NRJ play Elle me dit twice a day (but not the other songs) in Québec as well. Like I said I never listen to radio Yes it does... I remember driving around to listen to it while I was visiting... P.S. Quebec is my hometown:fisch:
RayaBadran Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Mika publicity in Quebec? Doesn't happen often thank you for posting
Alie Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Yes it seems that NRJ play Elle me dit twice a day (but not the other songs) in Québec as well. Like I said I never listen to radio Me neither. I must be really lucky then.
LilStar Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 *buys 739748373 TOOLs for family and friend* They DID say it was a good gift idea I hear mika quite often on the radio. EMD has been on for like a year and a half. Ive heard celebrate a few times. And it was in the countdown on musimax and karen is now a new radio favorite. I dont know. We have a thing for Mika i guess here

We have a thing for Mika i guess here How great that "Karen" is a radio favorite!! - I couldn't hear anything better - cause I think it's the ultimate song I've loved it deeply from the very first time I heard it :fisch: In Norway "Celebrate" was on the radio for some time - then it got quiet, and these days it's again only "Grace Kelly" which is played - I think the radio reporters are unconsious!! I've worked in a local radio st. for 15 years, and I'm not impressed by their music choice at all - when MIKA gives us sooo many fantastic songs, and they just get stucked by GK !?!?! And I'll spread TOOL as gifts - that's for sure Love,love MB

Even old songs is good if they play them but TOOL does have much more potential ! Really happy bout Karen hoping the next single will get some promotion here as well You dont get mika alot in norway neither do you?

Really happy bout Karen hoping the next single will get some promotion here as well You dont get mika alot in norway neither do you? Of course huge hits are safe to air - and I'm happy that all kinds of radio st. use GK often, so people will not forget MIKA but I think they should present also new, great stoff as well... What I'm not happy about is the lack of advertising - and really bad - promo work for TOOL !! In Norway it seems like it was never released!? Not ONE newspaper or mag reviewed TOOL - at first I was very shocked and angry, now I'm just sad. When I wanted to buy it - cause I still had not received the orderer special version through Mikasounds - the shops I asked didn't stock it!?!? Luckily I should be in Denmark for one day, and there I got it:thumb_yello: So YES all the talk here about the really bad promotion for TOOL I fully support, it's just crazy, also in this country - and MIKA really deserves better, cause this is the album of the year !!! I'm afraid that a new concert in Oslo during 2013 will just be something to dream about - otherwise things must change really fast ... Love,love MB
