This is a great interview, thanks for finding it and sharing! They say he did the interview through a video call, they could have taken some screenshots! I'd love to have seen him with his unstyled messy curly hair! :lol3:

Also I never knew this:

"In 2015, he voiced French-language animation film The Prophet"

How did I miss that?! I won't go off topic here about it, I'll ask more in the Looking for Something thread 🙂

MIKA shot to global fame when he had a huge hit with his song Grace Kelly.

After rising to fame as a pop star, he has now switched his attention to TV.

Who is Mika?

Born Michael Holbrook Penniman Jr on August 18, 1983 in Beirut, Lebanon, Mika is a singer-songwriter and TV star.

When he was young, his family moved first to Paris and then to London.

Mika studied at the prestigious Westminster School and Royal College of Music.

He is best known for his music and released his first single, Relax, Take It Easy in 2006, which became Radio 1's record of the week.

This shot him into stardom and he was named BBC's predicted breakthrough in a music critics' poll, Sound of 2007.

The talented star has also forged a TV career, spending three years as judge on the Italian X Factor, and a further four on the French version of The Voice.

In 2022 Mika has hosted Eurovision, and in 2023 he was a judge on Channel 4's The Piano.

What are Mika's biggest songs?

Mika's debut album, Life in Cartoon Motion, proved a global smash hit, reaching No. 1 in the UK and across Europe.

The record also featured four top-10 UK singles, and earned four Brit Award nominations in 2008 – he won British Breakthrough Act.

Mika's biggest hit single is Grace Kelly, which was his first single from Life in Cartoon Motion that went to No.1 in the UK, Ireland, France and Italy.

The singer's other big hits include:

Love Today, Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)
Happy Ending
Lollipop
We Are Golden

What is Mika's net worth?

It's fair to say that Mika is one very rich man.

As of February 2023, he has a reported net worth of £10M.

This will be from royalties from his hit songs and also his TV work.

Is Mika married?

As of February 2023, Mika is not married.

He keeps his personal life private but is in a relationship with his filmmaker boyfriend Andreas Dermanis.

He does not have any children at this point of time.

Mika reflects on how the media treated him during early career: 'Brazen homophobia'

"I’m 39 now, the world’s moved on, so I’m not afraid to say it."

Mika has slammed the “brazen homophobia” he received from the media in the early days of his career.

The Voice of Italy coach found fame in 2007 with hits like ‘Grace Kelly’ and ‘Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)’.

(Side note: how was this 16 years ago?!)

Hi debut album Life in Cartoon Motion was the ninth-best-selling of that year, shifting an estimated eight million copies.

After years of media speculation around his sexuality – including this Guardian article headlined: ‘Why won’t Mika give a straight answer?‘ – Mika publicly addressed that he identifies as gay for the first time in 2012.

“You wouldn’t be able to get away with some of those comments and articles today” – Mika

“There was confusion that I was drawing: ‘What is he?'” Mika said of the era in a recent interview with iNews.

“All this questioning about sexuality, and about emotional and musical and stylistic exuberance that in today’s pop culture is celebrated.”

The BBC Sound of 2007 winner, whose real name is Michael Holbrook Penniman Jr, continued: “I think you wouldn’t be able to get away with some of those comments and articles today. I was accused of being brazen, but I think it was brazen homophobia.”

He furthermore added: “I’m 39 years old now, the world’s moved on, so I’m not afraid to say it. And it was such a waste of time.”

The former Attitude cover star is known for songs like ‘We Are Golden’ and ‘Relax, Take It Easy’.

Must try harder . . . illustrious De Gaulle lycée fails inspection

T he biggest and oldest French school in the UK has been failed by Ofsted over safeguarding issues (Nicola Woolcock writes).

Lycée Francais Charles de Gaulle in South Kensington, west London, was rated inadequate by the regulator’s inspectors, who visited in November.

Famous alumni include Darius Guppy, the convicted fraudster and friend of Boris Johnson; Dominic Grieve, the former attorney-general; Gyles Brandreth, the radio and television presenter, and the actress Natasha Richardson.

While Ofsted said that the quality of education at the private school was good, as were the behaviour and attitudes of pupils, their personal development required improvement and leadership and management were rated inadequate.

The school, which has 3,500 pupils, was founded in 1915 and evacuated to Cambridge and then the Lake District during the Second World War, later returning to London. It is opposite the Natural History Museum and has been visited by French presidents including General de Gaulle , Francois Mitterand and Jacques Chirac. Princess Anne attended its centenary celebrations.

It had been rated as “good” in every previous inspection but Ofsted said it had concerns in its latest report, published last month.

“Leaders do not have sufficient understanding of how to lead and manage safeguarding. They do not follow statutory guidance, such as that set out in ‘Keeping children safe in education’,” the report said.

“Leaders have not established a coherent approach to safeguarding ... and do not identify and manage risks well.”

The report said that record-keeping was poor and that updated risk assessment was needed for older pupils going off site. It also said that there were a “significant number of unmet standards” and that leaders were not being held to account.”

The curriculum for relationships and sex education and pupils’ personal development was criticised for not teaching a broad range of content in an ageappropriate way.

Pupils do not have enough opportunities to revisit important content as they move through the school.

Ofsted also criticised staff ratios in the early years department and said that staff needed paediatric first aid training.

Leaders must ensure that they comply fully with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) welfare and safeguarding requirements.

Fees at the co-educational primary and secondary school range from around £7,000 to almost £15,000 a year. Its curriculum is overseen by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Pupils achieve high grades in the French Baccalauréat and A-levels. Lourdes Leon, Madonna’s daughter, was said to have attended the school, as did Jacqueline Bisset, the actress, and Mika, the singer. A British section was added to the school in 1952 and celebrated its 70th anniversary last year. Ofsted praised some aspects of the school. It said that pupils were happy and enjoyed a broad curriculum that celebrated a love of language.

“Pupils become fluent in speaking and reading in French and English. In the secondary phase, they can also choose to study other languages, such as Latin, German and Russian,” the report said.

“Leaders have high academic expectations. Students go on to achieve highly in their examinations such as the French Baccalauréat or A-levels. Most then go on to their first-choice university. Children in early years are well prepared for their move into Year 1. Pupils behave well and they get along well with each other. Parents and pupils say that bullying is rare. Most pupils say that adults deal with any such incidents in a helpful way.”

The Lycée Francais Charles de Gaulle was approached for comment.

Here is the report by Ofsted ( Published 23 January 2023 )

What is it like to attend this school?

Pupils feel safe, and parents and carers have confidence in the school’s safeguarding arrangements. However, there are too many weaknesses in how leaders work to keep pupils safe. They have not ensured that safeguarding is effective. Pupils enjoy school. They benefit from a broad curriculum that celebrates a love of language.

Pupils become fluent in speaking and reading in French and English. In the secondary phase, they can also choose to study other languages, such as Latin, German and Russian. Leaders have high academic expectations. Students go on to achieve highly in their examinations such as the French Baccalauréat or A levels.

Most then go on to their first-choice university. Children in early years are well prepared for their move into Year 1.

Pupils behave well and they get along well with each other. Parents and pupils say that bullying is rare. Most pupils say that adults deal with any such incidents in a helpful way. Leaders make sure that pupils are offered a range of clubs and visits in which they can take part. However, leaders have not ensured that pupils learn enough about relationships and how to look after themselves in an age-appropriate way.

What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?

The curriculum is ambitious. Most of the school follows the expectations of the French national curriculum. In the British section for pupils in Year 10 onwards, leaders offer GCSE and A-level subjects. In a few of these subjects, leaders have not finalised their curriculum thinking. The identification of what pupils will learn and when they will learn it is not clearly set out. In these subjects, curriculum thinking does not meet the expectations of the independent school standards (the standards). Children in early years get off to a strong start. Adults focus sharply on helping children to develop their vocabulary. Pupils learn to read in French and, when they are ready, usually in Year 2 or Year 3, they learn to read in English. Pupils who need further support with their reading are well supported. By the end of their primary education, pupils have become confident readers, writers and speakers in both languages. Leaders offer pupils access to different curriculum pathways, for example to move from the international section to the British section to study GCSEs or A levels. Leaders make sure that they adapt their curriculums to support pupils who change pathways. Students in the sixth form attend well. They feel well supported by their teachers in their academic studies.

Teachers have strong subject knowledge. They benefit from regular training. Teachers explain concepts well, using activities and strategies that help pupils to learn. Sometimes, however, teachers do not systematically check that pupils have fully understood what they have been taught. When this happens, teachers can move on too quickly, and a few pupils can fall behind.

Leaders make sure that teachers have all the resources that they need to deliver their subjects, for example to carry out practical experiments in science. There are plenty of books to help young pupils to learn to love to read. Children in Reception use the library to borrow books for their parents to read to them at home.

Leaders have effective strategies in place to identify any pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They ensure that pupils who need any support, such as extra time in their examinations, have access to it. They share information about pupils with SEND so that teachers can adapt their teaching. However, leaders’ oversight of the quality of SEND provision across the sites needs development.

Children learn right from Nursery the importance of routines and to take responsibility, such as for washing their hands. Pupils across the school behave well and have positive attitudes to learning. Learning is not interrupted by poor behaviour.

Leaders offer pupils a range of ways to develop their talents and interests. For example, there are clubs for electronics, poetry and street dance. Pupils can also join the sports association or the school’s charity, Justice au Coeur. The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme is also popular. However, leaders have not ensured that they are following the statutory guidance from the Department for Education (DfE) on relationships and sex education (RSE). This includes covering the statutory content across the primary and secondary sections of the school. As a result, some year groups do not learn enough about topics such as harmful sexual behaviour, consent and relationships in an age-appropriate way. Some pupils say that the school does not do enough to help them to develop their physical, emotional and mental health. Pupils only learn about careers from Year 10 onwards.

However, students in the sixth form are well supported with careers advice and preparation for university. Leaders do not monitor the quality of their work well. This includes, for example, safeguarding and compliance with the standards. As a result, significant weaknesses go unnoticed. Staff enjoy working at the school. Most are happy with their work–life balance, but a few members of staff comment that leaders could be more mindful of staff workload when making decisions. Leaders do not understand the standards. They do not use the DfE guidance on the standards published in 2019 to help them know what the expectations are, for example in relation to the curriculum, careers education and the attendance and admissions registers.

They do not make available the range of information that the standards require. Leaders do not manage policies well. For example, there are no policies for the curriculum, RSE or careers education. Some aspects of the requirements relating to the premises are not in place. For example, the medical rooms on two of the sites are not suitable, and supplies of drinking water are not labelled as such. The proprietor has not established a way to check that the school is meeting the requirements of the standards. The school has not produced an accessibility plan in line with schedule 10 of the Equality Act 2010. The school does not meet all the requirements of the early years foundation stage (EYFS). This is because the ratio of children to adults does not meet the requirements, and paediatric first-aid training for staff is out of date.

Safeguarding The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. Parents are confident that their children are well looked after. Pupils feel safe. However, safeguarding is not given the priority that it should have.

Leaders have not had sufficient training to help them understand their roles in relation to the statutory guidance, ‘Keeping children safe in education’. They do not ensure that staff have regular updates and reminders.

Leaders do not give sufficient consideration to risk when making decisions, for example in allowing older pupils to go off site during the school day. Leaders’ record-keeping is poor, including in relation to the statutory checks on adults before they start employment.

Leaders do not consistently reach out to external agencies quickly enough when child protection concerns arise. Overall, the weaknesses in the school’s approach to safeguarding combine to mean that pupils are not kept safe.

The school’s safeguarding policy does not accurately meet the requirements of the statutory guidance. It is available on the school’s website.

What does the school need to do to improve? (Information for the school and proprietor)

■ Leaders do not have sufficient understanding of how to lead and manage safeguarding. They do not follow statutory guidance, such as that set out in ‘Keeping children safe in education’. Leaders must urgently ensure that all leaders have the breadth and depth of knowledge needed to carry out their safeguarding roles effectively.

■ Leaders have not established a coherent approach to safeguarding. As a result, there is a lack of ongoing updates and reminders for staff about safeguarding.

Leaders do not identify and manage risks well. Record-keeping is poor. Leaders need to review urgently all their systems and processes, including updates for staff, to ensure that these are fit for purpose. They must prepare and act on their risk assessment for older pupils going off site and ensure that the single central record of pre-employment checks complies with statutory guidance.

■ Leaders do not understand the requirements of the standards. This includes the range of school policies that must be in place. Consequently, there is a significant number of unmet standards at this inspection. Leaders need urgently to make sure that they pay due regard to DfE guidance on the standards. They must stay up to date with any changes to requirements. They must also ensure that an accessibility plan is in place in line with the Equality Act 2010.

■ The proprietor is not ensuring that the standards are consistently met. Leaders are not being held to account. The proprietor should establish a way of checking that leaders ensure that the standards are consistently met and a means by which to challenge and support leaders.

■ Leaders do not rigorously monitor the quality of their work. In some cases, there is a lack of expertise to evaluate quality, for example in relation to SEND, personal development and safeguarding. Leaders need to ensure that they have the expertise needed to self-evaluate and to regularly review what is working well and what is not. Leaders need to use their findings to help formalise their school improvement strategies.

■ The curriculum for RSE and pupils’ personal development lacks depth and coherence. Pupils are not taught a broad range of content in an age-appropriate way. Pupils do not have enough opportunities to revisit important content as they move through the school. Leaders need to review their curriculum thinking for RSE, including how and when it is taught across all sections of the school. Leaders must also consult parents as required and publish their final policy, as outlined in the standards.

■ Leaders have not ensured that they follow the guidance on staff ratios in the early years department. They have not ensured that staff renew their paediatric firstaid training. Leaders must ensure that they comply fully with the EYFS welfare and safeguarding requirements.

■ In a few subjects in the British section at GCSE and A level, curriculum thinking has not been finalised. As a result, the identification and sequencing of curriculum content are not secure. Leaders need to ensure that they finalise their work in all subjects and ensure that the standards in relation to these are met.

■ Sometimes, teachers do not systematically check that pupils have understood what they have been taught. When this happens, they can move on to new learning too quickly, and some pupils fall behind. Leaders should provide training for staff to improve their checks on pupils’ learning before they move on to new activities

Mae Muller:

Who is the UK's Eurovision entrant?

So, Mae Muller has been officially revealed as the UK's entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023.

The 25-year-old heads to Liverpool in May to perform I Wrote A Song - a daft-but-catchy revenge song, written about her ex-boyfriend and teased heavily on her social media channels.

Muller follows hot on the heels of Sam Ryder, who came second in Turin last year - giving the UK its best result in more than two decades.

Like him, she's been in the music business for a while, releasing her debut single Close in 2018; and scoring a minor hit in 2021 with Better Days.

She's got middle child syndrome

Holly Mae Muller was born in 1997 in Kentish Town, North London; and says she was a typical, spotlight-pulling middle child.

"I have been an attention seeker since I was two," she recently told the Private Parts podcast. "Every Christmas or family thing, I was like, 'I want to put on a show! Everyone sit down, I wanna sing for you!'

"It sounds so silly but I just loved music and I felt I loved music more than anybody else."

Her parents separated when she was six, but Mae stayed in London with her mum, a costume designer, while attending school in Tufnell, where she taught younger children creative writing.

Handily, her aunt is a music video director, and Muller used to spend afternoons as a runner for artists like Labrinth, for whom she once made tea in a polystyrene cup.

"It was my claim to fame for a long time," she told Golden Plectrum.

She's never confirmed her aunt's identity - but it seems likely to be Sophie Muller, the acclaimed director of videos like No Doubt's Don't Speak, Bjork's Venus As A Boy and Beyoncé's Deja Vu.

Sophie also directed the clip for Mika's Grace Kelly, which brings us to this...

Her first role was in a Mika video

When she was nine years old, Muller starred in the video for Mika's breakout single, dancing around in a lime green ballgown, and lip-syncing Grace Kelly's dialogue from The Country Girl.

"I actually got it based on how [messed] up my teeth were, apparently,' she said on a recent episode of Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

"I guess they saw all the auditions and he went, 'She's got some real intense teeth. That's good, we like that'."
