Do you sing? - We need you to make the video for Mika!

[Marilyn Mastin]

My email is - intuition.by@gmail.com

 

Do you have some picture ? - I need it for the video.

 

Do you give me your permission to use your picture in the video?

I don't know how to send a picture, and I don't want to hurt Mika's beautiful eyes by him having to look at my ugly mush. I'll let all of  you attractive young ones send pics and I'll just email the poem, which I'm working on. You can copy & paste it into a document as I don't have Word on my computer. I'll send the letter in a seperate email, to avoid confusion. I hope that is okay.

That's what we've done till now.

 

I tried to put the singers one after another, but the video was a little bit monotonous in that way.

 

So I thought about adding Mika's picture in the middle, like we could imagine his reaction.

 

At the end only the writing - "Happy New Year, Mika!" - would be boring.

 

That's why the Idea of Firework came.

 

 

Amye, - sorry, I couldn't resist and stole your "Kiss".

 

 

Don't be afraid - this video doesn't appear on Youtube.

 

No one could see it if I don't give a link.

 

 

Now we miss only the chorus (my part) and a couple of video from other fans.

Hahah I love the reactions a lot especially the one coming after mine ;) HE SENDS KISSES

But my part ( as I guessed before) didnt fit the rhythm it wasnt your fault ofcourse, but should I shoot the video again?

And also is it hard to put all the videos one after the other? Because the song sounds divided. I know you did it for making fit our voices so that none of us sounds weird after the other one. I dont know, it is just and idea, I wanted to ask

 

Thanks Marily to give and start this idea, and thanks Helen for organizing and making so much effort on it

And I am curious about the other paarts

[Guest Helen_Kilgrena]

You made me blush with your kind words.  Thank you so much.

 

 

Oh that's fine, I'm totally okay with that!

 

I can try to write a letter yes.   Should it be a written letter or typed one? What would work better you think?

 

Well... It's up to you...

 

We should only remember that Mika is  dyslexic.

 

I don't know if he's able to read a written letter...

 

But I do know that he can read a typed one.

 

Because he's reading books.

I'm sorry , I haven't forgotten but I have had busy times, plus I need my daugher to be home and film me while my husband is away (and he's on holidays next week ) Is there a deadline for sending the video? 

What you put together so far is really cute

Helen, I like this video!! Thank you so much!!

 

I liked how you put Mika's reaction and how you connected all parts.

 

But it would be very useful for all of us to hear your opinion about the video..

 

If there were some moments that we can make better, we'll try our best.

Edited December 27, 2015 by Gavkhar

[dilarat]

I think it will be better when the chorous is put. Because now, I cannot decide which one is better. Because all of us didnt do it with the base, our singings dont fit each other. If we all did according to the original song, it would be much more easier for you to gather. It is ok for the first video however the ones that I sang and Gavkhar sang are different. Should we sing with the base? ( then you can put the base of the song) I wonder all the ideas.

That's what I thought as well, so I wrote a typed one.

I agree with you here, I really like the video, but indeed, the rythm of the music seems a bit.. off sometimes!

[AmyWings]

That's what I thought as well, so I wrote a typed one.

I might do that as well, but  wonder if he can't read a written one though because in a french interview he wrote a note himself after reading a written note so, I don't know ! But it would be too risky depending on one's writting ! 

[Marilyn Mastin]

Here's the poem I wrote for Mika. 

The video is brilliant, but I think it would be better to have LYL as one block, and maybe other things before and after.

Also, it's 2016 next year, not 2017.

 

A Poem For Mika.

 

I first heard your voice on a day when it was raining

All around me, people were complaining

Then, on the radio, I heard you singing

You sang 'Love Today' and my heart began winging

It flew to a better place

It landed in a brighter space

When you sang your words and your beautiful tune

You brought the sun on that wet afternoon

The sky was no longer grey

And I began to love today

 

From that moment I sailed on a musical ocean

Which sent my life spinning in cartoon motion

Then I met the boy who knew too much

Your music gives the whole world, that golden touch

And as sure as the sun still shines high above

Mika, you are the origin of this love

A love that comes to you from near and far

To say, how wonderful you are

 

You are our good guy who was fated to be born

In the land of Lebanon, which war had torn

You left that land, as a refugee, to roam

Through Europe, to England, which you now call home

But your past is something you never forget

And your heritage is something you never regret

You heard the cries in the land where your life had begun

And returned, to bring goodwill to refugees in Lebanon

So Mika, I'm convinced, that when your life is through

There IS a place in Heaven, which God has saved for you

 

I love you Mika.

I back that up 100% ! That would sound better if all the videos were one after the other, and maybe put Mika's "reactions" a little before the end of each other while still having the sound of the video on, do you know what I mean, as a blend?

Oh Marilyn - you're the best!! This utterly beautiful poem filled my eyes with tears, it's sooo touching, and true!! I'm so happy that MIKA will get it !!  I permit myself to print it, and keep it safe, together with my other MIKA treasures ...

 

Congratz to all of you, taking part in this great project, soon delivered at BBC Radio 2 - well done everybody!!   I'm really proud of you!!         

 

Love, love

me   

[Marilyn Mastin]

Thanks everyone for what you say about my poem. I'm very touched.

Could I also suggest that, in the video, there isn't too much other stuff. It will take Mika's attention, off the important part, which is the words of the song.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE !!!

Helen I've pmd you with my letter. Our email has an error on it and I can't send it. I'd done a lovely letter and didn't want to loose it, so I've sent it to yo on this site. I'll post it here as well. You can copy and paste it from wherever you want. Here, or you message box.

Dear Mika.

I have been a fan of yours since 2007, when you burst onto the pop scene. But as you will see from the poem I wrote for you, I wasn't aware of you until you released Love Today.

From the moment I heard your voice, I felt that I'd been waiting my whole life to hear you sing, and it had been a long life. I was in my fifties. But your voice affected me like no other singer's voice ever has, and it still does.

 

Please don't give up on the UK. I understand why you do your TV shows in Italy and France, but people in the UK need you, even if they don't know it. So please take any opportunity that you feel is right for you, to do radio or TV in this United Kingdom.

I'm thrilled about your radio show on R2. You are so wise and knowledgeable about music and songwriters, I just know that you will be awesome. 

 

I'm so proud of you, for your goodwill trip to Lebanon. I'm sure you have made everyone you met, very happy, and have given them hope. You are a good man, and, as I said in my poem, you are going to Heaven. Please don't ever doubt that.

 

Have a wonderful 2016 Mika, and please give my love to Andy and all of the Penniman family.

If you don't want "much other stuff" in the video and only "the words of the song" - 

 

The Best Solution is your Idea from the start - you can just send to Mika the lyrics.
