Pascale Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I only listened to half of the song but the topic seems pretty clear. It's a guy telling his friend he doesn't like the way he dresses, that his clothes look like a pajamas and he's ashamed of going out with him. Nothing extraordinarily witty IMO thanx. Well, Mika seems to enjoy everything immensely the last two months so I guess "monumental" should be interpreted in that light. Speaking of monumental, the Line Play video of TAU is great. The movements of the animations suits the song. Mika's jumping on stage when the music's going up tempo is so funny. If the pretty girl had been a pretty boy, it would have been perfect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZMVcR4atkA&feature=youtu.be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She kind of represents the cliché ''pretty and stupid'', which I don't agree with Edited July 30, 2015 by Alyara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolinaAsh Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Oh I totally agree about the girl in the Line Play video. She looks so vapid. They use her in a lot of their ad type stuff. They should have used the bear! After all, Mika took pictures with the bear at the store and posted them to Instagram asking the bear to come home with him lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I wonder what he is going to be doing on Radio 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Mastin Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I wonder what he is going to be doing on Radio 2? I'm hoping he's DJing a radio show. He'd be wonderful and would play unusual music that wouldn't get onto Radio One. I'm sure he'd give a chance to artists he believes in, who need a platform. He could also play his own songs and get them heard. I'd be over the moon if being a DJ on Radio 2 was what he's doing, as Mika could be a great force in music, not just as a writer and performer (I've always believed this) and the radio show would be one way he could really shine as more than a popstar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree!! MIKA would be wonderful at a radioshow! He seems to connect very easily, with all kinds of people, at all ages - so I suppose he would be a success, like on the TV shows - even the listeners won't have a lot of beauty to look at, hehe But his wonderful voice, soft and pleasant like velvet, would be perfect for radiowork And his funny and cute laughter, omg, I think people would have a much better day, after listening to our wonderful MIKA...

Love,love me It's not just his voice. Mika is so knowledgeable about the construction of music (remember those videos he made before TBWKTM about how the album was constructed) he also knows such a lot about different composers and artists. He's taught us such a lot over the years about different things, from visual art and artists, to musicians and composers. When he's been on the radio he's often chosen unusual tracks, that would not normally be played. I think he would gain so much respect on the radio. Plus, it would be so wonderful to be able to look forward to hearing him. So I hope that's what he's planning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course- MIKA has so much knowledge about so many things, and probably mostly about music! There's a reason for why he's chosen to be a judge, in both X-Factor and The Voice! And after countless interviews, he also has proved that he knows a lot about many different things. I've often wondered how wise and full of knowledge he seems to be, for his young age So now I hope he's working on a new alb. where the lyrics are - well, maybe more "political" - if you know what I mean.. I think we've had enough stuff now, about his personal life And I agree that he surely would gain a lot of respect in the radio - hope we don't have to wait too long, before we know what will happen...
