Mahsa Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 reading the comments on the facebook page really upset me, now I don't listen to radio at all but was he really that bad ?

teenagedreamer98 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Some pretty harsh comments on BBC Radio 2 Facebook reading the comments on the facebook page really upset me, now I don't listen to radio at all but was he really that bad ? I mean what are "real radio presenters " like ? that he fell so short ? I don't understand why people would complain about him. He is great at presenting and I could easily imagine him as a full-time presenter if he decided to stop singing for a while. Obviously, some people are hard to please. I loved the radio show so much, really hope he will do more episodes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krysady Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I kinda agree with some of the comments on FB,I'm not a big fan of those covers,he is much better at making the playlist and telling stories at radio,imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victimofthetimes Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I'm suprised by all these negative comments on fb. Covers are often worse than original versions, but it's not a reason to call it 'totally rubbish'. How rude... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlelady Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 its ok to dislike his covers, tastes are different but rubbish sounds different to me and the show was great, wish he could do something like that and present his own songs. Its also interesting that people are moaning about covers also charts are full of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyaboutmika Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 It sounds like people are just venting over some radio presenters getting sacked. Don't worry about it. I'm listening to it now and it's great. His covers are heavenly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyaboutmika Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 CLIPS on BBC Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes (Paul Simon cover) I Only Want To Be With You (Dusty Springfield cover) How Could You Babe (Tobias Jesso Jr. cover) Those links don't work for me I wonder why...for new year's show it was the same...

Christine Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Some people just don't like Mika's voice. Just like The Weeknd makes me want to punch a wall every time I hear his whiny voice and repetitive songs. People have different tastes. Rubbish (and not rubbish) is in the ear of the beholder. This is what you'll see occasionally you peek out into the real world, away from the "Mika is the most amazing artist ever" echo chamber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you're right, not only Mika fans post there and everyone has different tastes But as for me when I don't like a song, a cover or a singer I simply don't listen and I don't bother to leave a comment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathouzouf Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Agree but some people like being rude and i can't understand why. Me neither... I don't expect everyone to agree with my opinions, but no need to be so rude about it... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their tax dollars fund the BBC and they are entitled to have a say in what they like and don't like about the programming. The BBC Facebook page is not Mika's wall. It's not there for people to praise him. It seems like there is a balance of opinions to me so no harm done. I am sure one person or another will comment on every single thing they air as being rubbish so they are not going to take a handful of comments as a public outcry against having Mika on their station. There were people who said Grace Kelly was rubbish (and worse) but it didn't stop the song from being #1. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guylainem123 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 bah... people are just giving their opinion. It doesn't matter if we agree or disagree with it. It's their opinion. I'm not offended by any of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emelyne412 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 That's true that, when someone sings a cover, there is a risk. Or the song is well interpreted, or she's a flop. People who dislike his covers from this show can be fan of Mika. But a little community have a pleasure to spit on the back of artists. In my case, there are some covers and songs that Mika has done that I don't like. And his style (voice, outfits...) is particular, there are so many criticisms.

teenagedreamer98 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 If someone didn't like Mika, why would they listen to the show anyway? There are plenty of singers I don't like but I don't listen to their music or post mean comments about them. I don't feel the covers were his best, but I still enjoyed them. I definitely wouldn't call them "rubbish". Even Mika himself admitted he made mistakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 People will say what they are going to say, but this is what I hate about the UK at the moment, they will lap up the crap from certain talent shows, but anyone like Mika who worked his way up from nothing without that kind of help is always fair game for mud slinging. This is why I haven't had time for a lot of acts here lately, I find them bland and soul less, I'm sick of seeing anyone who shows any imagination, being trounced all over. I pay for my licence fee, but I have to listen to complete rubbish over and over again, that these other people push for. It really winds me up!
