mamiam Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Thank you Karin - for sharing this supercool news! A radioshow, where music is the main ingredients, is always great - and with MIKA as the host, it's got to be perfect - especially when we'll get his live performances, in between! So this was his co-operation with BBC, which he mentioned some time ago I understand he's excited, and hope it will be a real kick-off, for lots more MIKA events in the UK, the coming year! So so happy about this!! ... Love,love me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Yes, i also think this is the uk radio project he has mentioned several times in the past. I had hoped for something longer than just one show, more like a series... but who knows, maybe if it's successful, they'll make a regular show out of it? In any case i'm looking forward to this, it's not just mika but also an interesting topic - and i can't wait for more covers, just said earlier this week on another thread how much i love some of his covers! and there haven't been any for quite a while now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Mastin Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Oh God be praised, this is the BEST NEWS! It would only be better if it was a series, but as someone has said, if there is a great response, who knows what will come of it! He will be awesome! I know that for a fact! He's so knowledgeable about music and composers so the show will be phenomenal. This is what I've always meant about Mika being more than a popstar and that he can be a big name in music. Not necessarily by having number 1s himself, but by showcasing the talents of artists, such as Adele. His speaking voice is so beautiful as well as his singing voice, so I'm thrilled he's going to use his dulcet tones on a radio 2 show. What a wonderful way to start 2016. All those poor aching heads from New Year's Eve (including mine) will be soothed by His Royal Mikaness on New Year's Day. Now I'm hopeful and I'm Happy. That should be a line in a new Mika song!
