Mika accro à la chirurgie esthétique ? Nikos Aliagas est catégorique ! Mika, de retour dans The Voice 2024, aurait-il abusé de la chirurgie esthétique ? Nikos a répondu à sa place, et le présentateur est catégorique. Crédit photo : TF1 Ce samedi 10 février, la nouvelle saison de The Voice a démarré sur les chapeaux de roue ! Si Vianney, Zazie ainsi que Big Flo et Oli ont rempilé pour cette édition 2024, elle signe également le grand retour d’un coach emblématique : Mika. Pour rappel, le chanteur avait été le seul à s’être retourné sur la voix de Kendji Girac, devenu maintenant l’une des plus grosses stars du programme. Alors, que nous réserve-t-il pour cette saison ? Une chose est sûre, sa première soirée était plus que fructueuse ! Mika rafle tout aux auditions à l’aveugle ! De fait, à peine la saison commencée, Mika s’est déjà imposé en tant que coach redoutable face à ses camarades. Si Big Flo et Oli ont eu droit à un début d’auditions à l’aveugle timide avec seulement un talent, de son côté, Mika n’a pas chômé. Pour cette première soirée, il repart avec trois talents très disputés : Manuela, Lance Priester et Gabriel Lobao. Mais attention, car Zazie n’est pas en reste non plus puisque trois talents ont également choisi de la rejoindre. A savoir Stolt, Alphonse et Hamid, une équipe 100% masculine. Côté Vianney, départ timide avec seulement deux talents, Aprile et Maeva. Une chose est sûre, Mika risque encore une fois, de nous surprendre ! Mika, accro à la chirurgie ? Et son succès aux auditions à l’aveugle de The Voice n’est pas la seule chose pour laquelle Mika fait parler de lui. Âgé de 40 ans, il semblerait que le chanteur… n’ait pas vieilli d’un poil depuis la dernière saison à laquelle il a participé. Et les internautes l’ont bien remarqué ! Certains s’interrogent même sur son recours à la chirurgie esthétique. Le coach en aurait-il abusé ? Une internaute a d’ailleurs écrit sur X : « Sinon Mika toujours aussi cute hein il vieillit pas. Chirurgie ? Y’a débat chez moi. En tout cas c’est bien fait si oui ». Si le principal concerné n’a pas réagi, il peut compter sur le présentateur historique de The Voice, Nikos Aliagas. De fait, il s’est fait un plaisir de répondre à sa place : « Pour le voir de près depuis quelques années, je confirme que tout est naturel chez lui ». Voilà qui est clair ! Selon lui, Mika n’a donc jamais eu recours à la chirurgie esthétique. Les secrets de beauté du coach de The Voice Le coach emblématique de The Voice avait d’ailleurs livré à plusieurs reprises ses petits secrets beauté. Sur Europe 1, Mika avait expliqué qu’il devait sa jeunesse à une machine achetée après avoir vu un documentaire consacré à Céline Dion. « Je fume pas de clopes, mais je bois une bière. J’ai vu un documentaire avec Céline Dion, avec cette machine qu’elle mettait sur la bouche. Je suis allé chercher la machine, seulement parce que je voulais la machine de Céline Dion […] Ça met de la vapeur de sel, on respire ça et je dois dire, Céline, ça marche ! ». Un allié beauté dont Mika est très fier. Est-ce réellement le secret de sa jeunesse éternelle ? TRANSLATION Hide contents Mika addicted to cosmetic surgery? Nikos Aliagas is categorical! Would Mika, back in The Voice 2024, have abused cosmetic surgery? Nikos answered for him, and the presenter is categorical. This Saturday, February 10, the new season of The Voice got off to a flying start! If Vianney, Zazie as well as Big Flo and Oli have returned for this 2024 edition, it also marks the great return of an emblematic coach: Mika. As a reminder, the singer was the only one to have turned to the voice of Kendji Girac, who has now become one of the biggest stars of the program. So, what does he have in store for us this season? One thing is certain, his first evening was more than successful! Mika wins everything at the blind auditions! In fact, barely the season has started, Mika has already established himself as a formidable coach against his comrades. If Big Flo and Oli were treated to a timid start to blind auditions with only one talent, for his part, Mika was not idle. For this first evening, he leaves with three hotly contested talents: Manuela, Lance Priester and Gabriel Lobao. But be careful, because Zazie is not left out either since three talents have also chosen to join her. Namely Stolt, Alphonse and Hamid, a 100% male team. On the Vianney side, a timid start with only two talents, Aprile and Maeva. One thing is certain, Mika risks surprising us once again! Mika, addicted to surgery? And his success at The Voice blind auditions isn't the only thing Mika is in the news for. Aged 40, it seems that the singer… has not aged a bit since the last season in which he participated. And Internet users have noticed it! Some even question his use of cosmetic surgery. Could the coach have abused it? An Internet user also wrote, "Surgery ? There is debate in my house. In any case, it’s well done if so.” If the main person concerned has not reacted, he can count on the historic presenter of The Voice, Nikos Aliagas. In fact, he was happy to answer for him: “Having seen him up close for several years, I confirm that everything is natural about him.” That is clear ! According to him, Mika has never had cosmetic surgery. The beauty secrets of The Voice coach The iconic coach of The Voice had also revealed his little beauty secrets on several occasions. On Europe 1, Mika explained that he owed his youth to a machine bought after seeing a documentary devoted to Céline Dion. “I don’t smoke cigarettes, but I drink a beer. I saw a documentary with Céline Dion, with this machine that she put on her mouth. I went to get the machine, only because I wanted Céline Dion's machine […] It emits salt vapor, we breathe it and I must say, "Céline, it works! ". A beauty ally that Mika is very proud of. Is this really the secret of his eternal youth? What a clickbait! 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found an old article in 2015. Pour rester en forme, Mika s'inspire de Céline Dion Ce que Mika a de plus précieux ? Sa voix. Afin que cette dernière ne souffre pas de ses perpétuels voyages, il en prend soin… comme Céline Dion ! Mika n’est pas du genre à prendre 15 jours de vacances. Entre l’écriture de ses chansons, les enregistrements en studio, les concerts partout dans le monde, la promo, le tournage de The Voice, celui de X Factor en Italie… il n’arrête pas. Entre avions et hôtel, comment fait-il pour que la fatigue ne s’installe pas et n’altère pas sa voix ? Il pique tout simplement les bons plans de sa collègue Céline Dion ! Pas bête ! Il faut dire que la chanteuse est toujours au top vocalement parlant. Et puis entre grandes voix, on peut bien s’entraider, non ? C’est en regardant un documentaire sur la star que l’interprète du tube Elle me dit a eu une véritable révélation. « J'ai vu un documentaire avec Céline Dion avec cette machine qu'elle mettait sur la bouche à chaque fois qu'elle descendait. Je suis allé chercher la machine, seulement parce que je voulais la machine de Céline Dion », a-t-il expliqué. Mais quel est cet engin invraisemblable ? Mika n’a pas précisé le nom de la machine mais en a expliqué le fonctionnement. « Ça met de la vapeur de sel, on respire ça et je dois dire, Céline, ça marche ! » Avec une voix si puissante, Mika n’a sans doute pas besoin de machine. Mais si ça peut le rassurer… TRANSLATION To stay in shape, Mika takes inspiration from Celine Dion What is most precious about Mika? His voice. So that the latter does not suffer from his perpetual travels, he takes care of it… like Celine Dion! Mika is not the type to take 15 days of vacation. Between writing his songs, studio recordings, concerts all over the world, promotion, filming The Voice, the X Factor in Italy... he doesn't stop. Between planes and hotels, how does he keep fatigue from setting in and affecting his voice? He simply steals the good tips from his colleague Céline Dion! Not stupid ! It must be said that the singer is still on top vocally. And then between great voices, we can help each other, right? It was while watching a documentary on the star that the singer of the hit Elle me dit had a real revelation. “I saw a documentary with Celine Dion with this machine that she put on her mouth every time she got off. I went to get the machine, only because I wanted Celine Dion’s machine,” he explained. But what is this improbable device? Mika did not specify the name of the machine but explained how it works. “It emits salt vapor, we breathe it in and I must say, Céline, it works! » With such a powerful voice, Mika probably doesn't need a machine. But if it can reassure him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you doing, he asks. The fellow says, I know there must be a horse in here somewhere. which now 50 years later makes no sense to me because why would the horse be deep in his poop?

Yeah, I mean obviously if you keep your respiratory system hydrated that's good for your voice - but they're making it sound like a special secret machine, when you could as well just hang your head over a pot/kettle with boiling saltwater to achieve the same effect for your voice. Of course that machine is more comfortable and easier to use anywhere - but they make it sound more eccentric than it actually is. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he says that he always has this connection with the audience where him and them feel more free, less complexed, very different than in real life, and he likes that. As a preparation for the tour, he's exercising every day and he takes care of what he's eating. On the tour, it's also important to keep changing, doing different things, reacting to the audience. He talks a bit more about this and says there is no separation between him and the audience, to create a more intense energy, but I can't understand the details of what he's saying. He says his show has very conceptual elements, it's telling a story from the beginning to the end, and it asks you to forget the world outside for 2 hours. To enter a parallel world, aesthetic, graphic, with decorations and costumes. Many people are working on it, from France, from the UK, from Brazil, Canada, the US, Italy, Holland. Mika says there'll be songs from his whole career that people expect, but also new elements and surprises. It's a different universe, his universe. And the concept of the Apocalypse, a suspended world. And, as they wrote in the text, he asks the audience who's coming to this first show in Clermont-Ferrand to not reveal the surprises. And he knows it's unusual because normally artists would ask you to share everything and post a lot, and he asks the opposite. To guard the secrets for at least a few days or a few weeks. So the surprises stay surprises and the magic of discovering them is kept. He thinks it's more powerful that way. If I understand it right, he says it's ok to share moments, but not unveil the surprises. That's what he asks of the crowd, especially for Clermont-Ferrand. I think the interviewer asks him about his way of writing an album, and Mika says he doesn't write 500 songs to choose from them, but he writes for a certain concept, and then he has about 40-50 songs to choose from. He talks about why he wrote Jane Birkin and about inspiration for the album title (nothing new there). If I understand it correctly, the interviewer asks if there'll be a DVD of the show and Mika says he doesn't know yet. And then the interviewer says he's a dinosaur because he still bought a physical copy of the album on CD, and I think Mika says that's good and something like that the dinosaurs are more important than the streams. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Tbh, it annoys me what he says about not sharing the surprises. When I read the headline / text, I thought, ok, he's insecure, especially about this first test show, and he doesn't want people to judge him or the show before they haven't seen it for themselves. I'd have understood that. But that thing about keeping surprises, I really don't like that he tries to tell people what to do. Maybe he could say, don't post it in public, don't post it on social media, but only share it with your friends, if they really want to know. As a protection for those who don't want spoilers. I don't like surprises. I'm the kind of person who doesn't buy or read a novel before checking on the last page whether the ending is ok for me. And there is still tension and magic in a novel or in a film, even if I already know the whole story. In Mika's shows, even more. I wouldn't need to go to 6 gigs of the tour, if the magic was lost after the first time. It's rather the opposite, I can focus much better on the emotions if I know the facts. I know there are people who are the complete opposite and who try to keep offline, to not know anything about Mika's show before they see it for themselves. We've had this discussion before and we've come to the conclusion that here on MFC we're keeping spoilers to certain places (in this case, gig reports), so those who don't want to know it can just avoid these particular threads, and those who do want to know, know where to look. Well, whatever. I do hope that someone is willing to share news about the first gig with me via DM. It's already frustrating enough to not be able to go to the first gig, and to hear Mika talking about this whole big worldwide team who are working on the show and already know everything about it - but the prospect of not even getting to hear about it from other fans after the first show makes me sad. Just my opinion... there's no right or wrong in this, just the fact that people are different. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't like surprises And even more we should think of all the fans that have no possibilities to attend any Mika show at all.

maths22 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 honestly I understand it a little... wanting to keep surprises is good! I'm lucky enough to be going to this first concert (it's the first time I'm going to see it so I'm really excited!!!!!) so let's see what these surprises are! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arianne921 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) I think he's simply asking doesn't share videos on social media, I don't think he asking do not talk about his concert with friends, or in private. Probably he's organizing something new for these shows, something througt could surprise people or give them a different emotions than the past. I don't know exactly, but I'm pretty sure that there will be some reason if he asked this to his fans. I can't go to his concert this time and so, me too, I hope can watch something about it, but I know well too the ability of Mika to surprise us! So...I'm waiting for next adventures!

Agreed, that was a bit too much for me as well To the question of whether he's happy with his life since 2007 he says that it's hard to quantify but he has had so many experiences (good and bad ones) so he feels privileged and lucky to have such a full life. They talk about Jane Birkin and I think he says that she didn't get to listen to it but her daughters did and sent him a nice message. The interviewer says Mika has the same elegance (which Mika takes as a big compliment) and the accent of course (which Mika doesn't like as much :D). The interviewer says that love is also a big topic on the album and Mika says yes in all its different facets (rage, joy, etc) and the interviewer brings up faithfulness which yes, Mika says is good and very important. I'm not sure if the interviewer interpreted something differently, he was probably just talking about MAEP which does talk about faithfulness to be fair. And yes they played a game where Mika had to guess the person based on their voice and yes and no questions. It turned out to be last year's winner Aurélien who said that his win was all thanks to Mika because he saved him in the Super Cross Battles (which is interesting, I didn't realize). 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumazzz Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Technikart - Février 2024 YouTube L'équilibriste pop : Mika, The Voice-Star Alors qu’il revient avec un sixième album, Que ta tête fleurisse toujours, et une nouvelle saison de « The Voice » sur TF1, @MikaSoundsOfficial réussit l’art du grand écart entre pop exigeante et popularité mainstream. Il partage son secret avec Technikart. On 2/3/2024 at 6:31 AM, Kumazzz said: Technikart - Février 2024 PDF file ( 10 pages / 6.4 MB ) - Technikart_N.276_-_Fevrier_2024_10pages.pdf Pressreader https://pressreader.com/article/281492166208191 Page 1 Page 8 JEUNE ET POP! Le 18 août dernier, notre coverstar traversait ce qui a longtemps été la pire des épreuves pour toute pop-star. Bien avant lui, Elvis Presley avait capitulé: il s'enfermait alors dans sa chambre à coucher, à Graceland, et passait la journée seul. Son seul réconfort ? Ses burgers et médocs habituels. De son côté, Paul « Macca » McCartney se montrait plus pragmatique : sourire aux lèvres et bonhomie non-feinte, il assurait la promo de Tug of war, un album emprunt de cette nostalgie commune à tout papy désormais rangé des af- faires. Quant à Mick Jagger, il passait sûrement cette maudite journée dans le salon de son château tourangeau, à faire des pompes devant les shows de Véronique et Davina tout en peaufinant l'aéro-rock de son prochain disque... Je fais référence, vous l'aurez deviné, à ce qui était vu comme une sacré date butoir pour la culture jeune. L'anniversaire des 40 ans. En août 2023 donc, Mika vient d'enchaîner les lives dans les grands festivals euro- péens (« tu dois convaincre un public qui ne t'est pas déjà acquis, un très bon exercice ») tout en mettant les touches finales à son sixième album, Que ta tête fleurisse toujours. Ses 40 ans, il les fête avec ses proches, et en toute discrétion. À la rentrée doit paraître le bondissant « C'est la vie ». Le clip le montre au milieu d'une foule de fans, scène de vie normale pour le chanteur, et les paroles semblent hésiter entre résignation et refus : « C'est quoi ces lignes sur mon vi- sage? Pourquoi elles viennent cafeter mon âge ? ». Plutôt que de répondre, il se lance dans un laïus à la gloire de l'amour et de sa quête d'une créativité éternellement renouvelée, qu'il compare à une floraison crânienne : « que ta tête fleurisse toujours › Quand nous le retrouvons, Mika ressemble toujours à ce gamin de 23 ans devenu, en 2006, superstar en à peine deux morceaux (les inépuisables « Grace Kelly » et «< Relax »). Svelte, grand (1m91) et gracile, on ne peut s'empêcher de lui poser la question : a-t-on le droit de vieillir lorsqu'on est chanteur pop? Il répond en la contournant. « Évidemment. Mais si l'on arrive à rester créatif, avec la tête qui fleurit d'idées nouvelles, on peut trouver une manière de rester heureux ». - On prend quand même note. En 2024, un chanteur pop aurait enfin le droit de vieillir - tant qu'il reste beau et inventif. Je vais le noter fissa sur le board en liège accroché au mur de la rédac : c'est à garder en tête pour un magazine pop qui fêtera ses 40 ans en 2035. Avec un anniv' qui ressemblera davantage, je l'espère, à celui de Mika ou de << Macca qu'à celui d'Elvis... Bonne lecture, on se retrouve dans un mois, Laurence Rémila Rédacteur en chef YOUNG AND POP! On August 18, our coverstar went through what has long been the worst ordeal for any pop star. Long before him, Elvis Presley had capitulated: he locked himself in his bedroom at Graceland and spent the day alone. His only comfort? His usual burgers and medicines. For his part, Paul “Macca” McCartney was more pragmatic: with a smile on his lips and unfeigned good-nature, he promoted Tug of War, an album imbued with the nostalgia common to any grandpa who has now put his affairs in order. As for Mick Jagger, he probably spent this cursed day in the living room of his Touraine castle, doing push-ups in front of Véronique and Davina's shows while refining the aero-rock of his next record... I'm referring, you You guessed it, at what was seen as a hell of a deadline for youth culture. The 40th anniversary. In August 2023, Mika has just completed a series of live performances at major European festivals (“you have to convince an audience that is not already yours, a very good exercise”) while putting the final touches to his sixth album, May your head always bloom. He celebrates his 40th birthday with his loved ones, and in complete discretion. At the start of the school year, the leaping “C’est la vie” should appear. The clip shows him in the middle of a crowd of fans, a normal life scene for the singer, and the lyrics seem to hesitate between resignation and refusal: “What are these lines on my face? Why do they come to talk about my age? ". Rather than answer, he launches into a speech in praise of love and its quest for eternally renewed creativity, which he compares to a cranial flowering: « que ta tête fleurisse toujours › When we meet him again, Mika still looks like this 23-year-old kid who became a superstar in just two songs in 2006 (the inexhaustible “Grace Kelly” and “Relax”). Slender, tall (1m91) and gracile, we can't help but ask him the question: do we have the right to age when we are a pop singer? He responds by walking around her. " Obviously. But if you can stay creative, with your head blooming with new ideas, you can find a way to stay happy.” We still take note. In 2024, a pop singer would finally be allowed to age - as long as he remains handsome and inventive. I'm going to write it down on the cork board hanging on the editorial wall: it's something to keep in mind for a pop magazine which will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2035. With an anniversary which will, I hope, look more like that of Mika or << Macca than that of Elvis... Happy reading, see you in a month, Laurence Remila Editor-in-chief Page 34 + 35 Page 36 + 37 Page 38 + 39 Page 40 + 41 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arianne921 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 9 hours ago, CharlotteL said: I just gave it a go. Agreed, that was a bit too much for me as well To the question of whether he's happy with his life since 2007 he says that it's hard to quantify but he has had so many experiences (good and bad ones) so he feels privileged and lucky to have such a full life. They talk about Jane Birkin and I think he says that she didn't get to listen to it but her daughters did and sent him a nice message. The interviewer says Mika has the same elegance (which Mika takes as a big compliment) and the accent of course (which Mika doesn't like as much :D). The interviewer says that love is also a big topic on the album and Mika says yes in all its different facets (rage, joy, etc) and the interviewer brings up faithfulness which yes, Mika says is good and very important. I'm not sure if the interviewer interpreted something differently, he was probably just talking about MAEP which does talk about faithfulness to be fair. And yes they played a game where Mika had to guess the person based on their voice and yes and no questions. It turned out to be last year's winner Aurélien who said that his win was all thanks to Mika because he saved him in the Super Cross Battles (which is interesting, I didn't realize). @mellody and @CharlotteL I have tried to traslate the whole interview in English. If you want I can post it in the next days. It is enough long and it was been enough hard to traslate it from french to italian and then from french to english, but I have made this with pleasure. It was been a very good manner to exercise my french and my english! If I can give my contribute and I can post it you tell me something! Thank you! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
