" First in Paris I used to listen to things like Shabba Ranks. Shabba Ranks was the first concert I ever attended, and I was 9 years old. I don’t know why, I don’t know why, maybe because Shabba Ranks was like an animated character, not very real, a little bit absurd. "

Shabba Ranks already has an entry:

Shabba Ranks - Jamaican reggae/dancehall musician. Mika was a big fan when he was young and mentioned it in several interviews, "Then, a lot of reggae: Shabba Ranks, which is a bad stuff now that I think about it, but I used to love it. He was dramatic and trash, with all those bits! I attended a gig of his as my first concert, when I was a kid, in Virginia. I was 8 years old: I remember that they searched me for guns. Awesome! It was absurd, but that’s when I thought: I’m a grown-up."

 

in this http://www.lefigaro.fr/musique/2012/09/14/03006-20120914ARTFIG00762-mika-chanteur-sans-frontieres.php he also says he was 8 when he went to the concert, so i guess i'll stick with that version of the story.

 

i alphabetized it with the S's but i suppose it belongs with the R's :doh:

What about Joni Mitchell !? :-) MIKA admires her, think she has been an inspiration as well - I'll never forget him being interviewed at the Grammy Nomination party for Best Dance Recording for "Love today" - when he said:" I'm gonna rip a piece of her dress, to see if she's real" :-) :-) Btw, I do hope Joni gets well very soon - at hospital now...

oooh yes, that bit was so funny :aah: i'll add her to the list

 

 

What about Chantal Goya ?

He was a fan of her when he was a child.

Interview http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xag9mf_mika-est-fan-de-chantal-goya_music

"When I was little I was obsessed with Chantal Goya [...] I saw her show 4 times ... I would love to meet her."

I can't remember what name of the French TV show in 2009/2010, Chantal Goya with pandas dancing on the stage, Mika looked very fun at the TV show. and finally Mika met Chantal !

 

Chantal Goya

wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chantal_Goya

Maybe the interview was Le Grand Journal" Canal+ French tv 18/9? Here's a bit of translation with Chantal but the video links in the thread don't work anymore.

hey there! quick update on the progress:
-made some minor changes & added info to already-existing entries. there's over 550 entries now. Thanks again to all who've helped! :thumb_yello:
-i posted some new entries (they're green) and C & D outgrew their post and need to be split so i moved the other letters down. Please post if you find any links that've gone wonky because of it.
-i added more stuff to the list of entries to add. Can anyone think of anything more i'm forgetting? Who knew there was this much Mika-related stuff!
-i'll probably start adding some photo links tomorrow

EDIT: some photos have been added! many more to come

added a few entries lately & many photos. just a little over a month old & over 600 entries :shocked:

 

here's the latest list of entries to add and the list of information i'm seeking. Am i forgeting anyone/thing important?

 

 

 

Also I need opinions...

Where do i draw the line about who/what to add? How related to Mika do they need to be?

For example, i've been debating if should i add Dustin Hoffman, the famous actor, who appeared on Graham Norton’s show in 2007 when Mika did? What about his wife who was also on the show; Mika got caught staring at her boobs so perhaps she's important. Should she get her own entry, a combined entry with Dustin since he’s the more famous one, or nothing at all? Or what about a band or show that Mika mentioned once or twice as liking? Or what about the TV shows he's been on that have particularly memorable interviews? Help please!

I guess I want to know if you would prefer that i try to list all remotely Mika related people/things but with less info on each, or if you'd prefer i focus on making the most important entries more informative?

My opinion: Make the most important entries more informative. I don't know if it really matters that Mika was on a TV show with Dustin Hoffman, but it does matter that he was on Graham Norton's show, and has been connected to GN a few times. JMO.

 

I'm sure I'll have more comments on other stuff later. :thumb_yello:

That was kind of what i was leaning toward too. In this example, if i really wanted to mention dustin hoffman i can just add a bit to graham's entry. I can still add new entries, just not as many while i focus on expanding on what's already there :thumb_yello:

 

Some entries are gonna get super long so i'll put them in separate posts then link them back to the short versions in the encyclopedia. It'd get soooo long otherwise.

 

 

I did add Graham Norton the other day btw. Did i miss anything they've done together?

Dee - did you/we forget something very "sweet" ?  :)   London's coolest bakery Konditor & Cook created a special range of Mika cakes, to celebrate the release of TBWKTM : Mika's Magic Cakes - related to the album's artwork   :teehee:

They looked lovely, and surely tasted good - for the lucky ones, who could buy them, for a limited period ... :wink2:

i finally posted the massive extended information posts!!

:pbjt:

 

they're still works in progress.  any help filling the blanks and fixing errors would be much appreciated! also if you'd like to see a certain category (such as awards all his collaborators have won, or his band's family members, etc) added to the extended info posts or think someone/something deserves extended info please ask & i'll get on it asap.

 

right now the posts are only linked to the first post but my project for tomorrow is to link them to the encyclopedia entries.

 

 

 

 

today i also moved some posts around, made changes to some of the entries, and added a few new ones.

if anyone knows these things i'll be in your debt!

 

info i need:

-what is the last name of the 2011 keyboard player Marcus?

-what Mika did at the Butterfly Lounge & when. did he perform? i know i saw pics of him there (his mum was too) but now all the pics are gone from their website

-what are the names of the actor & actress in the "Origin Of Love" short film?

-was Mika Leffe beer actually sold to the public?

-what are the names of the two older actresses in the "Elle Me Dit" video?

-who the drummer in the "Talk About You" video?

 

i'll update this post when i think of new things i need help with

 

 

 

Are you sure Mika was actually at the Butterfly Lounge? I honestly don't recall him ever going there. I've seen photos that people marked as "Mika at the Butterfly Lounge," but they weren't taken there, the caption is wrong. The owner of the Butterfly Lounge, Kathleen, was a Big Girl once, and she used to post here occasionally -- I don't  remember her saying that Mika had actually been there.

 

This is Kathleen with Mika here from your tumblr, Dee.

 

http://mikakreacher.tumblr.com/post/12533250543

 

She put her logo on the pic, but it wasn't taken at the Butterfly Lounge. It was taken at the Virgin Megastore signing in early 2007.

 

http://www.thebacklot.com/mika-virgin-a-hilton-and-a-dick/03/2007/

 

And here's where she writes on the MFC:

http://www.mikafanclub.com/topic/17160-hello-everyone-from-the-butterfly-lounge/?p=1130819

 

 

Origin of Love actor and actress are listed in the opening credits of the video: Jorge Arecheta and Daniela Ramirez.  :thumb_yello:

 

Still researching the others...
