Ok I think they were very confused. They said that Mika did a gig in London the day before (???) and that he was doing a videoclip in Napoli. They probably made a mistake, I don't know where they got this story of videoclip but anyway. Here's the transcription in French of this interview, please someone can translate it in english I don't trust myself. It starts when Mika talk. Before they are just talking about Caroline and nothing really new about Mika (beside this videoclip story)

 

Mika: Salut Caroline

Caroline: Ça va tu bien ?

Mika: Il y a quelque chose qui m'inquiète là, c'est tu dis "de repos", mais.. non.. il faut pas, il ne faut pas se mettre au repos Caroline, comment ça, il faut s'y mettre à fond.

Caroline : Ah oui oui, je sais *rire*

Animatrice: Caroline, en avez-vous voulu à Mika quand il vous a éliminé ?

Caroline: Ah non pas du tout, quand tu embarques dans cette machine là, tu sais que c'est un jeu et qu'à moment donné il faut que tu partes, ben à moins que tu gagnes, mon but n'était pas de gagner, je voulais faire de mon mieux à toutes les étapes.

Animatrice: Mika, est-ce que ça a été un moment déchirant pour vous ?

Mika: Oui c'est sur, c'est très difficile, il faut choisir dans l'instant et on comprend tout ce qui se passe dans les coulisses au courant de la semaine. Et pour Caroline, c'était vraiment difficile pour moi. En même temps, je savais que même si quelqu'un ne gagne pas, ils ont la possibilité de faire des très très belles choses. Des millions de gens ont suivi chaque talent, qui ont suivi Caroline. Tout le monde me parle d'elle et d'Élodie. Ils me parlent aussi de Kendji, celui qui a gagner, mais aussi de Caroline et Élodie, elles sont devenues un peu les coups de coeur. Et je pense que Caroline a quelque chose de très très très spécial. Je pense qu'elle peut profiter encore plus de cette liberté qu'elle pourra avoir maintenant de s'affirmer un peu plus et faire les choix qu'elle doit faire.

Animatrice: Est-ce que ça vous surprend Caroline que Mika dise ça, je vous vois vous êtes assez touchée ?

Caroline: Oui, un peu, ben premièrement ça me fait un peu bizarre qu'il soit au téléphone. Je suis un peu émue.

Animatrice: Je pense qu'elle ne le réalise pas Mika, la surprise est complète !

Mika: Non mais il faut imaginer pour Caroline j'iamgine, et Caroline je peux parler un peu pour toi et même pour moi. On a terminé il y a à peine une semaine et vraiment c'est comme si, quand on est dans le tourbillon de ce programme et de cette compétition, c'est très intense. Quand ça arrête, c'est sur que c'est dur. Avec le recul, on peut réaliser comment c'était une expérience qui était très constructive. J'espère qu'elle est d'accord.

Caroline : Bien oui !

Mika : Moi je pense que c'était énormément constructif.

Caroline: Ben oui, mais pour moi aussi, j'ai beaucoup appris. Merci à toi encore, j'ai beaucoup appris de toi !

Mika: Merci à toi, franchement, pourquoi tu me remercies ?! La compétition ne fonctionne pas si on n'a pas du talent à un niveau ébouffriant. Franchement, c'est toi et quelques uns de tes collègues, ils ont mis le coeur, vous etes le sang dans ce concept, sans vous, il n'y a rien.

Animatrice: Mika, vous voyiez-vous en Caroline à un certain âge, vous avez commencé tôt dans la musique, je me suis dit peut-être qu'il se revoit ? Qu'est-ce qui fait que vous avez ce contact particulier.

Mika: Il y a quelques chose particulièrement que j'ai découvert, quand j'étais plus jeune, c'était une personne, puis j'ouvrais ma bouche et j'étais quelqu'un d'autre. De chanter me donnait la liberté de m'exprimer sans avoir peur, sans avoir peur du contact avec les gens. Je pense que j'ai retrouvé ça dans Caroline. Elle chante parce qu'elle doit chanter, c'est pour ça que ça nous touche quand elle chante. C'est pour ça qu'elle a de la puissance. On peut avoir une grande voix, mais sans avoir ce côté là, on ne peut pas rendre tout ça émotif ou sincère. Je pense que ce côté là, ce côté transformatif, je me suis vu quand je voyais Caroline. Je pense qu'elle a beaucoup de potentiel. Je ne suis pas en train de le dire pour être poli ! Tu as quelque chose, il faut y aller à fond, à 100%, avec une folie, sans avoir peur, il faut trouver ton identité, que tu écrives des chansons, que tu t'entoures très bien. Tu dois te battre, je vais te suivre, je vais t'écouter. Si tu fais ce que je pense que tu vas faire, on va se revoir.

You are welcome!

And yes, it is nice to see that these guys (boys and girls ) appreciate the artistic side and the human side of Mika.

The italian girls coached by him said, and they say, even now, exactly the same thing.

at least, I could understand the interview by Google translator.

 

 

[Google translator]

 

Mika : Hi Caroline

Caroline : Okay you see?

Mika : There is something that worries me here is you say " rest " , but .. no .. it should not , it should not be put to rest Caroline, how it must s' put in background.

Caroline: Oh yes, I know * laughs *

Moderator: Caroline, have you wanted to Mika when he eliminated you ?

Caroline: Oh not at all, when you're getting in this machine there, you know this is a game and that point you have to leave, ben unless you win, my goal was not to win, I wanted to do my best at all stages .

Moderator: Mika , is that it was a heartbreaking moment for you ?

Mika : Yes it's on, it's very difficult , we must choose in the moment and you understand everything that happens behind the scenes in the course of the week . And Caroline, it was really difficult for me. At the same time , I knew that even if someone does not win, they have the opportunity to make very beautiful things . Millions of people have followed every talent that followed Caroline. Everyone tells me about it and Elodie . They also tell me about Kendji , whoever win, but Caroline and Élodie , they have become a little beating heart . And I think Caroline has something very very special. I think she can enjoy even more freedom now it may have to assert themselves a little more and make the choices to be made .

Moderator: Does it surprise you that Caroline Mika say that, I see you are quite affected ?

Caroline: Yes, a little , well firstly it makes me a bit odd that it is the phone. I'm a little excited .

Moderator: I think she does not realize Mika , the surprise is complete!

Mika : No, but you have to imagine I iamgine for Caroline , Caroline and I can speak a little for you and even for me . We finished there just a week and really it's like when you're in the vortex of this program and this competition is very intense. When it stops , it sure is hard. With hindsight , one can realize how it was an experience that was very constructive . I hope she 's okay.

Caroline: Well yes !

Mika : I think I was enormously constructive .

Caroline: Yeah, but I also learned a lot. Thank you to you again, I learned a lot from you!

Mika : Thank you, frankly, why you thank me ? The competition does not work if there is not a talent ébouffriant level . Frankly, it's you and some of your colleagues, they have the heart, you are the blood in this concept , without you, there is nothing.

Moderator: Mika , you see yourself Caroline at a certain age , you started early in music, I thought maybe he sees himself ? What did you have that particular contact.

Mika : There are some particular thing that I discovered when I was younger, it was a person , then I opened my mouth and I was someone else. Singing gave me the freedom to express myself without fear , without fear of contact with people. I think I found it in Carolina . It sings because it has to sing, that's why it touches us when she sings . That 's why she has power . You can have a great voice , but without that side, you can not make it any emotional or sincere. I think that side, this transformotive side , I saw myself when I saw Caroline. I think it has great potential . I'm not going to say to be polite ! You something, you should go to the bottom , 100 %, with madness, without fear , we must find your identity that you write songs, you surround yourself very well. You have to fight , I'll follow you, I'll listen to you. If you do what I think you'll do , we'll meet again.

[Alie]

Well, google is not a very good translator. You can get what's going on but some sentences make no sense.

[Kezza]

Thanks for the Google Translate! LOL! I kinda get what is being said...

[Alireine]

So, I corrected a bit the Google translation and added some missing sentences...

 

 

Mika : Hi Caroline

Caroline : How are you, are you fine?

Mika : There is something that worries me, that's this idea of " rest " , but .. no .. you can't... you can't take rest Caroline, you have to go hard at work!

Caroline: Oh yes, I know * laughs *

Moderator: Caroline, were you upset at Mika when he eliminated you ?

Caroline: Oh not at all, when you're getting in this machine there, you know this is a game and that at a point you'll have to leave, except if you win, my goal was not to win, I wanted to do my best at all stages .

Moderator: Mika , was it a heartbreaking moment for you ?

Mika : Yes, for sure, it's very difficult , we always have to find a balance, we have to choose in the moment, but of course we understand everything that happens behind the scenes during the week . And for Caroline, it was really difficult for me. But at the same time , I understood that... and I also look at everything that happened in the last seasons, and I know that even if someone does not win, he has the opportunity to make very beautiful things . We can't forget that millions and millions of people followed every talent, and followed Caroline. Everyone is talking to me about her and about Elodie, everywhere. That's funny/strange . Of course they talk about Kendji , the "little" who won, in my team, but Caroline and Élodie , they have like a crush on them . And I think Caroline has something very very special. I think she will be able to enjoy even more freedom now to assert herself a little more and make the choices she has to make .

Moderator: Does it surprise you, Caroline, that Mika says that, I see you are quite moved by it ?

Caroline: Yes, a little , well first it's a bit odd that he is on the phone. I'm a bit moved.

Moderator: I think she does not realize, Mika , the surprise is complete!

Mika : No, but you have to imagine, I imagine for Caroline , Caroline, I can speak a little for you and even for me . We finished only a week ago and really it's like when you're in the vortex of this program and this competition is very intense. When it stops , it sure is hard. When looking back , one can realize how it was a very constructive experience . I hope she agrees.

Caroline: Well yes !

Mika : I think it was really constructive .

Caroline: Yeah, for me too, I learned a lot. Thanks to you again, I learned a lot from you!

Mika : Thanks to you, really, why do you thank me ? The competition does not work if there is not talent at an amazing level . Frankly, it's you and some of your colleagues, they put their heart, you are the blood in this concept , without you, there is nothing.

Moderator: Mika , do you see yourself in Caroline at a certain age , you started very early in music, I thought maybe he sees himself ? What makes that you have this special connection.

Mika : There is something special that I discovered, when I was younger, also still now, but especially when I was younger: I was a person , then I opened my mouth and I was someone else. But actually it was not that I was 2 different persons, it was not that I was not sincere, it is that singing gave me freedom, it gave me the way to express myself without fear , without fear of contact with people. I think I found it in Caroline . She sings because she has to sing, that's why we are touched when she is singing . That 's why she has power . You can have a great voice, very demonstrativ, of course Caroline can also do that. But without having that side, that is you sing because you have no other choice, you can not make it any emotional or sincere. I think that side, this transformative side , I saw myself when I was seeing Caroline: it is as if she is letting herself be at ease, she transform herself, and me too it was like that. So I saw someone singing with the same intention than me. I think she has much potential . I'm not saying it to be polite ! That's why I'm here, talking to you very publicly on the radio... because this conversation is very public! Even if it seems to me that we are simply having a chat together, like during the coaching... You have something, you have to go totally with it , 100 %, with madness, without fear! You have to find your identity, you have to write songs, to surround yourself very well with people. You have to fight , I'll follow you, I'll listen to you. If you do what I hope you will do , I'm sure we will meet again.

Is there anyone interested in the (translation of) Kendji's interviews/articles and the parts where he speaks/they speak about Mika that I had posted a few days ago??

[Alireine]

Elodie talks about Mika:

http://www.purebreak.com/news/elodie-the-voice-3-avec-mika-il-y-a-eu-un-declic-un-feeling/74829

 

Comme tu le disais, les quatre coachs se sont retournés pendant ton audition et tu as choisi Mika. Pourquoi ?

Quand je suis montée sur scène, j'étais partie pour aller chez Florent Pagny. Une fois sur scène, j'ai eu une sorte de feeling, un déclic avec Mika que je n'arrive pas à définir, ni à expliquer. C'était dans son regard, dans son sourire... Il n'a pas dit grand-chose pendant le débrief. Les téléspectateurs voient une version montée d'une minute et quelques. Evidemment, ça dure plus longtemps dans la réalité. Pour moi ça a dû durer sept minutes. Pendant tout ce temps Jenifer et Florent Pagny ont beaucoup parlé, beaucoup argumenté. Garou moins et Mika lançait juste des petits mots comme ça. J'ai trouvé ça intelligent. Il ne fallait pas beaucoup parler car j'étais déjà submergée par les émotions. Du coup je suis allée vers le truc le plus simple et le plus cool.

 

Après quand je suis sortie de scène, je me suis dit, attends, tu as choisi Mika ? Pourquoi ? Parce qu'il faut savoir que quand je fais une prestation, je ne m'en souviens jamais. Je fais des blackout complets. Et en sortant de scène je me suis dit mais qu'est-ce qui s'est passé ? Quand j'ai revu Mika, j'ai compris pourquoi, il est extra. Il est pertinent, il comprend les gens, il est sincère, cool. Bref il est top !

 

Vous êtes restés en contact depuis la fin de l'aventure ?

Je l'ai revu pour la finale. On a discuté. Après non, on n'est pas restés en contact car c'est quelqu'un qui court partout. Il n'a pas le temps de rester en contact, même s'il l'aurait peut-être voulu, je ne sais pas, après je ne suis pas dans sa tête. Il ne faut surtout pas prendre ça pour de l'ingratitude car on fait fausse route. C'est quelqu'un qui est un jour à New-York, l'autre à Londres, qui repart à Paris et va faire un tour dans le sud. Tu ne peux pas en vouloir à une personne comme ça s'il ne garde pas contact, c'est normal !

Thank you!

I've always liked Elodie, from the auditions.I think she is an highly talented and very intelligent girl.

[macboll]

Thanks for the interview! Elodie sounds really mature, sincere, clever. I hope she'll go on singing.

[Melyssa]

Ok, I do feel a bit guilty for making this thread pops up because of this (and with such a perfect timing xD), but as the great philosopher once said:

 

 

So, for those who have enjoyed the first "a-5-year-old Mika is having fun on DavoiceMan", here is the follow-up. For those who haven't, sorry again

 

Again with english subtiltes, again subtitles made by me, and so again sorry for the mistakes

 

->

 

With a huge thanks to Log Lady and Elwendin, because they'll-know-why (even the one who since then has commited an XF-related murder attempt against my person)

[Kezza]

As I've told you elsewhere, Melyssa, the first just made me laugh so much! This one does too! Already bookmarked!
