dcdeb Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 I find it so interesting how the UK press is all over Mika now, just because of Eurovision. https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1606017/Why-Mika-hosting-Eurovision-2022 Why is Mika hosting Eurovision? Star speaks out MIKA appeared on The One Show this evening to discuss his upcoming gig hosting Eurovision 2022. Some viewers were surprised to hear he would be appearing from Italy, as he is not Italian, and the star opened up about his role. By Katie Palmer Mika, who is best known for singing the hit Grace Kelly, appeared alongside The One Show hosts Ronan Keating and Alex Scott to discuss all things Eurovision this evening. The contest will be returning to screens on Tuesday, May 10 and 40 countries will be taking part, with the competition hosted by Italy. Eurovision fans were surprised to hear Mika was one of the hosts this year and he addressed how he got the job when he spoke live from Italy. Ronan asked: "Were you surprised to get the call [to host]?" The singer replied: "Well, I'm not Italian. So yeah, I felt really honoured and quite humbled by it, really. "I have done television in Italy. I learnt to speak Italian just because I got this opportunity to go and do The X Factor in Italy. "I learnt in a couple of months, luckily my Italian is better now, the ironic thing about this whole thing is that I'm gonna do Eurovision, the biggest TV show Italy has ever had to put on, and the whole thing is in English." Eurovision: Mika explained why he was hosting from Italy (Image: BBC) Eurovision: Mika appeared on The One Show live from Italy (Image: BBC) Alex asked him how he was feeling about the job and he said: "Honestly I feel a bit nervous and overwhelmed, it's all becoming a bit real. "You work on it for ages and it's just like stepping into a parallel universe, everything becomes about Eurovision and I have never seen something as big as this. "There are 1,600 people working backstage at this very moment." When asked what he thought of the UK act, Sam Ryder, he said he had been told he was "not allowed to express any preferences". Eurovision: Laura Pausini and Mika at the 72 Sanremo Music Festival (Image: GETTY) He did add: "Sam Ryder is really, really good and he's got a really good chance, his song is really good. "I just saw him on stage doing a sound check and he's classy, elegant and he's the star of the whole thing." He said there were some touching moments to come, as well as extravagant costumes and quirky props. He will also be performing his new single on Eurovision, along with the other two hosts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 https://metro.co.uk/2022/05/10/eurovision-2022-how-old-is-mika-and-when-was-grace-kelly-in-the-charts-16618613/ How old is Eurovision 2022 presenter Mika and when was hit song Grace Kelly in the charts? Comment Evelyn RichardsTuesday 10 May 2022 7:30 pm Mika is presenting the Eurovision Song Contest this year (Picture: Ida Mae AstuteWalt Disney Television via Getty Images) Just when we thought Eurovision 2022 couldn’t get better – it was confirmed that Mika will host the international song contest. The ‘Relax, Take It Easy’ hitmaker will be joined by Italian singer Laura Pausini and TV presenter Alessandro Cattelan, with the trio hosting the semi-final (May 10) and the grand final (May 14). Although Mika has a full repertoire of bops, including ‘Big Girls (You Are Beautiful)’ and ‘We Are Golden’, the Lebanese-British singer is best known for his smash hit ‘Grace Kelly’. But how old is pop sensation, and when did his most notable song first enter the charts? Here is when Mika went identity mad. How old is Mika? Mika, or Michael Holbrook Penniman Jr to his parents, was born on August 18, 1983 – making him 38 years old. Mike is 38-years-old (Picture: Marco Piraccini/Archivio Marco Piraccini/Mondadori Portfolio via Getty) He was born in Beirut, Lebanon, to Mary and Michael Holbrook Penniman. When Mika was a year old, his family was forced to leave war-torn Lebanon and moved to Paris, France. It was here that Mika gained his passion for music, learning the piano and writing his first song – a piano instrumental entitled ‘Angry’ – at age seven. His family moved to London when he was nine years old, where he eventually attended Westminster School and the Royal College of Music. After he graduated, Mika went on to record his first album at Casablanca Records. His first single, ‘Relax, Take It Easy’, was released in 2006. When was Mika’s hit song Grace Kelly in the charts? Mika’s song ‘Grace Kelly’ first entered the UK’s Official Singles Chart at number three on January 14, 2007. Feeling old yet? A week after, it made it to number one, booting X Factor winner Leona Lewis’ A Moment Like This off the top spot. The song went on to spend five weeks at number one and selling over 604,000 copies and becoming the third biggest-selling single of 2007. The official music video for the song has had over 53.5 million views on YouTube. If you’ve forgotten how this particular earworm goes, then why not give it a listen below? Humphry, we’re leaving. The Eurovision 2022 semi-final airs tonight on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer at 8pm. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikasister Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 https://www.qxmagazine.com/2022/05/eurovision-co-host-mika-releases-new-single-¨yo-yo¨-today/ Mika releases new single ¨YO YO¨ today International pop superstar Mika releases his latest single ¨YO YO¨today. “I wanted to write a song that could make you cry and dance at the same time.” MIKA told QX, “A song to make the world, in all its harshness, feel better. Something that will always be there to comfort you. I wrote this for you, as you listen in your room, or in a club: it doesn’t matter it’s just about you.” MIKA is known for his vibrant and multi-octave melodies and for his classically trained voice. Mika uses music to unite a community and to bring us all together. Mika came out officially as gay in 2012. Mika is due to co-host Eurovision tomorrow with an expected audience of 180 million people. He will be delivering an unforgettable performance, for sure, and we look forward to hearing his first performance of his new single ¨YO YO¨. QX expects Eurovision to be something quite special tomorrow, not only because it will celebrate Europe (we’re SO in to Europe!) but also because we believe that our Island nation has a real chance of winning this year. Watch Mika perform ¨YO YO¨and Eurovision at your local LGBTQ+ venue THE ORIGIN OF MIKA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
