Lucrezia Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Prelistening pieces from this site: http://www.rds.it/mika-ascolta-brani-e-vinci-song-book-vol-1/ Origin of Love: http://www.rds.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/audio/mika_origin_of_love.mp3 Stardust: http://www.rds.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/audio/mika_stardust_chiara.mp3 So it's not a real new version of Origin, just the UK Radio Edit. Really?? I didn't recognize it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamy_Queen Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 The Italian part of Stardust is something fantastic, I would follow this song like the rats followed the flute This version is so crystal clear, like the ice star in the light of the Moon...

Mikasister Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Why I don't like this version as all of you do? I've listened it, once, twice...and no way! Am I a weirdo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Why I don't like this version as all of you do? I've listened it, once, twice...and no way! Am I a weirdo? Only if I am too . I don't see anything in it either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikasister Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Only if I am too . I don't see anything in it either And the more I listen it the more my ears hurt just hearing Chiara. She has a great voice, I do not deny that but it does not convince me, this beautiful song ( my favorite after Underwater) that sounds so elegant in Mika's voice, sounds rude in Chiara's voice but those are just my feelings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 This is a soft song,she doesn't need to yell like that,it's disturbing,I feel like all the magic is gone I don't mind her voice so much but Mika's live acoustic version and the one on TOOL are perfect for me so I was never going to care much for a duet. If they had done it very early on maybe, but there is too much history already with this song for me. I don't really see the point in Mika doing duets unless they are organic, like with Priscilla Renea and Imogen Heap who helped write the songs. Taking an existing song and putting people like Ariana and Chiara on it is just gimmicky and meant to sell records. It's never going to enhance one of his songs.

RayaBadran Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hey I haven't been keeping up on the convos on here, I'm going to France in two weeks and I wonder if this song book will be released in a FNAC or somewhere where I can get a copy, sorry if it gets repetitive or if someone already asked that x Thank you in advance I'm in love with Chiara's version of Stardust. I wish there was this version in the album. Although, I absolutely adore the normal upbeat version of it (my third favorite in the album... it's in top 5 ) But this one is so nice... Have been listening to it on repeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayaBadran Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I wish I could forget Pharrell Daw... Pharrell would've been cool for a real duet, not "Put your hands up 'cause we just begun" sort of thing He's really cool, knowing that he has produced Tah Dah as well...

Yeahhh, and I've never been really fond of remixes of any kind either. Although, I did enjoy the Coke Studio 'Relax'. But at the very least there was a new kind of language element to it? The Stardust one does too, but idk. I've never met a 'redo' of any song by any artist that I liked enough to keep around, let alone enjoy more than the original. (Ok, except maybe like one Gorillaz song) Side note, he did a vocal thing twice in there that made me think of Elton John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumazzz Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Doppietta da record per Mika, Re di iTunes con Stardust e Songbook vol. http://www.optimaitalia.com/blog/2013/11/08/doppietta-da-record-per-mika-re-di-itunes-con-stardunst-e-songbook/116789 venerdì, 08 novembre, 2013 18:57 Mika vola ai vertici della classifica di vendita di iTunes: è suo il primo posto sia nella classifica singoli che nella classifica degli album. L’artista è volato ai vertici della classifica di vendita digitale subito dopo il duetto dal vivo con Chiara Galiazzo durante il terzo live show di X Factor 7 che si è tenuto ieri sera, in diretta su Sky Uno. Un duetto sorprendente e commovente che ha mostrato i due artisti insieme, in una miscela unica ed esplosiva, sotto una vera polvere di stelle! Chi non ha Sky, e non ha quindi potuto vedere la performance in diretta, può vedere il video del duetto, sul sito ufficiale del talent show. Pochi minuti dopo il duetto con Chiara Galiazzo, il celebre brano di Mika “Stardust” era già ai vertici della classifica di vendita digitale nella versione speciale in duetto con la ex vincitrice di X Factor. Tanti i fan della cantante che hanno acquistato il brano e tantissimi anche gli storici fan di Mika ma anche tutti coloro che prima dell’avventura ad X Factor 7 in qualità di giudice – al fianco di Morgan, Simona Ventura e Elio – non lo conoscevano. Mika ha conquistato in passato una parte dell’Italia con le sue doti canore e quest’anno invece l’ha conquistata proprio tutta con la sua simpatia, la sua spontaneità e i suoi strafalcioni che rimarranno nella storia di X Factor Italia. Il duetto con Chiara sulle note di “Stardust” fa parte della prima raccolta di Mika “Songbook vol.1″ disponibile in esclusiva per il mercato italiano dal prossio 12 novembre. La raccolta è già disponibile su iTunes per il pre-order e si piazza anch’essa ai vertici della classifica degli album più richiesti in digitale! I contenuti della raccolta “Songbook vol.1″ In occasione della pubblicazione della raccolta, Mika incontrerà i fan a Milano il 13 novembre presso il negozio Fnac di via Torino dove autograferà le copie dell’album a partire dalle ore 18.00.
