Christine Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 @mikasister Simon Cowel turned Mika's demos down and inspired Mika to write Grace Kelly. That's why Mika was wearing red pants at the conference in my opinion Mika didn't write Grace Kelly about Simon Cowell. Is this what all the anti-Cowell hysteria is about? It was just a tabloid rumour in early 2007 and Mika has contradicted it with his own version of events in the years since. Mika would have sent his demos to dozens of A&R directors and Simon Cowell just happened to be one of them. Simon told Mika his songs needed some work and Mika agreed because he was very young and I'm sure his songs did need some work. The reason Mika told this story is because Simon Cowell turned out to be the most successful and most famous A&R director of all time. I hear that Mika told another story yesterday about going to Warner to get them to listen to his demos when he was a teenager and Warner also rejected him. If Mika wasn't being rejected by everyone at the age of 16 then his pop music career would have started many years earlier. Believe me, I'm not sure I understand what's the point here. The point is just to be contrary without offering an opinion of one's own or, heaven forbid, some actual facts. If anyone wants to believe that disagreeing with something changes the reality of it they can knock themselves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumazzz Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Press conference video XF9: l'entusiasmo di Mika - "Questa giuria è una figata" Riecco Mika nei panni di giudice, in una conferenza stampa che, dice lui, la prima volta lo aveva terrorizzato. Ma il cantante di Grace Kelly adesso dispensa consigli a Skin e racconta un aneddoto dei suoi inizi legato proprio a Simon Cowell. Entusiasta di questo poker di giudici che lui definisce come “quattro amici che si divertono ad ascoltare musica in un pub, pur con la responsabilità che prendiamo sui concorrenti”. Perché in Italia i giudici scelgono anche i pezzi da assegnare, è questo il bello! I suoi propositi? "Voglio divertirmi al cento per cento, creativamente e senza calcoli". Inevitabile uno sguardo al passato, ai due giudici che hanno lasciato il posto a Elio e Skin. Sentiamo cosa ha detto di loro.

Marilyn Mastin Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thank you very much, Eriko!! I think he has improved from being on TV. It's made him far more relaxed in front of the camera. I keep hoping I'll hear something about the UK X Factor. I'll keep on hoping until I know for sure, one way or another. Thanks Eriko for the video, but I'll have to wait for the translation to understand it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKAs latest performances are sooo extremely good, it's pure pleasure to watch!! - Love,love me I've just watched the Korean showcase and it was so beautiful to watch Mika in the interview. He still has that shyness about him that makes you want to hug him, but there is more self confidence in him now. I used to think, in the earlier interviews, he seemed like he felt he didn't deserve to be on TV. He seemed very nervous. I'm sure that's why he avoided some interviews, like the one on the Jonathan Ross show where he hid in the loo (or something like that) But now he is confident, without being vain or overbearing. He's retained the qualities we love about him, but now he knows that he belongs in front of the camera. I definitely think the talent shows have helped him to get over any reluctance he used to have, when he was on TV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
