A. Clay Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) This is VERY exciting; I would have been beside myself. Wonder if sending this pic to some stores in USA & elsewhere might ignite a wonderful surge --or 'MIKA-spark'-- of similar showings in many additional stores -- HuuuuuuuuuuuuM ?

Marilyn Mastin Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 So my daughter and I walk into the mall today to buy some clothes.Our first stop is a JCPenney store and as went into some new clothing line area, my daughter grabs my arm, stops me and points up. I listen and realize they are playing Stardust! We stay and listen and are amazed that it is being played there. Our next stop is a high end clothing store called Von Maur. We walk in and again, my daughter grabs my arm, stops me and points up. I then realize that I am hearing Popular Song. BUT WAIT! My daughter then turns me around AND THE VIDEO IS PLAYING ON A BIG SCREEN! What are the odds?!? It was a good day for shopping...and Mika. If I'd been there I'd have been swinging from the light fixtures! Especially seeing our gorgeous Mika on the big screen! This is such wonderful news!

Maybe you should just go into Von Maur and sit in front of that TV until is plays again? I'm sure the staff won't mind. Timing is everything...one minute later at either store and we wouldn't have ever know those songs were ever played... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollipop161 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) GUYS GUYS! I just found a really really nice article about Popular, published for this weekend, really positive one! it's a very popular newspaper in Israel: http://www.rosh1.co.il/?p=61634 It's in Hebrew but here's a translation: "Ariana Grande and Mika It's not a dream... Do you know the feeling when you miss something so much, waiting, hoping, enjoying of nostalgic sweet moments, and then a comeback and it's better then you've expected? so... Hi MIKA! We've waited a long time for MIKA to make a noise. The colorful singer who once used to be permanent resident in our playlist, put himself willingly into a deep hibernation and disappeared recently from our radar. But not anymore! The king is back, and he brings with him an amazing princess, Ariana Grande, so it will be very sweet. Popular Song is the second single from the third MIKA's album "The Origin Of Love", and there is a story behind it. On the album, the song is based on the renowned WICKED, and comes complete with a different singer, other rhythms and quite harsh words. For the single, Mika decided to change a direction. He changed the words, make tender rhythms, and replaced the biting text with such a cool and catchy one, so it can also be on the playlist and approved by the parents. The result? Colorful, cool and hot, but you didn't really expected differently from a song that proclaims himself as the popular King of the class, right? Welcome Back MIKA. We missed a lot!" Some mistakes, I know But yay! and the comments below are so lovely, I just Edited July 19, 2013 by lollipop161 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
