PaolaC Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Our admins know better, ask them. all I can say is that Mika is a unique celebrity who`s attentive, polite and very patient towards his fans. We have a chance to meet him after some shows, isn`t that great ? He`s such a big star but he`s so human. I`m not sure Mika has enough time to read and follow the forum. But I think MikaTeam is definitely aware of the fandom`s mood . All the rest is a mystery:wink2: Thak you Indeed, one of the things I love most of him is that although he's a star he still human and so gentle and bighearted with his fans. Speaking for my country, I hope he'll keep being the same "despite" (maybe it's not the right term) the huge success he has now in Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the fact itself is true, was to be expected anyway, but would be nice to have a source for this statement. I hope for a pearl like "Un soleil mal luné" again And hope I won't have the "Karen-effect" with "Ma Jeunesse" again (Personally I just love the first live version of Karen so much more than the studio version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaolaC Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 While being happy to receive some news, I can't help feeling sad/uneasy that it is needed:blink: Of course, my first feeling was happiness because it means they've taken fans into account, but after a while I thought the same as you, I mean, was it necessary? It seems like we don't trust him anymore and I do not feel like that! I trust him, but you know we are here to express our feelings and opinions.

Christine Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Being a singer/musician, you'd think it's obvious, but it's not at this time. Yes why is it so unexpected that when what someone is doing is totally inconsistent with what they are saying that people will question it. Sorry but the trust of many was broken when Mika signed onto X Factor in the first place. These assurances should have come a year ago and not after we've been waiting all this time for Mika to get back on track and instead he signs up for a second show and has expressed an interest in signing up for a third show. Not to mention watches, clothes, beer, and now 12 months worth of TV adverts. It's totally ridiculous to expect fans not to wonder how he got so far off track and when he's coming back. Even a random journo in Italy can spot the inconsistencies in his statements nevermind fans who are following him closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaolaC Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) It's totally ridiculous to expect fans not to wonder how he got so far off track and when he's coming back. I totally agree If we don't expect anything from him means that we don't trust him. As long as expectation doesn't convert into pretense.

Even a random journo in Italy can spot the inconsistencies in his statements nevermind fans who are following him closely. I agree. Even if I'm still a charmed newbie who trusts him whatever he does ( I really do) I'm aware fandom has hundreds of different people and minds. It's unlikely to think there wouldn't be different opinions, doubts, critics. I can spot some inconsistencies by myself (and I say myself ... well... let it go he does and says what he has to, like everyone else in his work and social life). So, even if I first felt bad that this statement was needed, now I'm just happy they did both because of the meaning of the sentence (he's actually working on something, I believe them cause that would be too much risky make a fake official statement like that) and because I'm glad someone over there does care about fans opinion (and read letters and facebook messages and stuff like that). I'm wondering if "We wanted to put your mind at rest" actually means "We wanted to put your tongue at rest" Or , better, your typing fingertips ...

tiibet Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) While being happy to receive some news, I can't help feeling sad/uneasy that it is needed:blink: I know what you mean I feel the same. Funny thing is that I can't see any inconsistency in his words/actions even I find honesty really important. Maybe I use a filter in general: who or in which role the person says things, to whom they are said and what is the situation. Sometimes it's human to be wishful, sometimes there's a temptation (for everyone) to exaggerate a bit. Sometimes people really don't need to know the truth and I don't see it as a lie if it's obvious to everyone it's a story. And if I can see he really wants and hopes something of course I believe in his words even I know we can't know for sure and that the final result is somewhere in the future. It's important to me to have faith in him and also to think that if something doesn't go as planned in the end (because life is unpredictable) it's still okay, he surely did his best. I don't think he personally cares what anyone says and I'm not worried about that, and I was also glad to read the message from his FB as it comes from his management and tells they are doing their job.

dcdeb Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Besides the matter of the last fb upload, I do appreciate that his staff read us and reply indirectly to our thoughts (or better, our anxieties:aah:) Since I'm "new" here this is new to me! It has always been like this? I'd like to know Well, sort of. In the early, early days Mika had time to read this forum and others. Back in the days of myspace, he'd even reply to fans there fairly often. But now, I'd guess he doesn't have the time to read -- or at least not often. That doesn't mean that his friends/family/band/management team aren't reading, though. And that's always been the case. The Mod/Admin team here is in touch with Mika's management almost daily. We often share what's going on/what the mood is here. And they are definitely reading Facebook, and maybe even Twitter and MFC now and then. #Mika a déjà écrit 4 titres (en français) pour son nouvel album, sur lequel il travaille actuellement. #TheVoice Would be nice to know where he got the information. Probably the fact itself is true, was to be expected anyway, but would be nice to have a source for this statement. Yes, I'd like to know, too. This guy's profile says he's a journalist, so maybe he's interviewed Mika recently. But still would be nice to know for sure.

I'd like to have your skills to understand him so well. I suppose I will learn that in some years. Meanwhile, I just have faith in him, as you wrote. But I can't prevent myself to have some alerts and some questions in my mind, which I usually try to fix reading here on mfc or asking around. I sometimes try to think on my own, then check the answers talking with people. I often feel dumb cause the obvious isn't that obvious to me (in real life as well, I'm pretty naif). Little by little I'll be more able to develop those decipher-Mika-behavior skills you oldlings master that well. Oh s h t !

And to tell the truth, sometimes I feel this huge sadness because I can FEEL there won't be any new music soon (there are moments like that and there have been moments like during the years) but I can't let that sad feeling take over me, so I just focus on other things happening (like watching X Factor or Voice atm) and being happy for his success and what he is doing and waiting for new music in the future.

What's the point of new music if it won't sell? That's why I don't mind waiting. I don't understand the urgency for a new album. The second one took 3 years, and after the touring stopped, in 2008, there was nothing much going on. We had to get by on pictures of Mika entertaining ladies in Paris, and hanging out with Lady Gaga. The third one took about another 3 years, with not a lot going on in between the albums. At the moment, there is a lot happening. Okay, I admit, I wish he was in UK, doing something to raise his profile here, but I am thrilled at what he has achieved in Italy and France recently. When Mika does release the next album, I want it to be a phenomenal success all over the world, and of course, the UK. That's why I'm not stressing out about it, and why I will be patient and wait for him to do what he has to do, in order to ensure that success.o Edited January 24, 2014 by Marilyn Mastin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
