Blue Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Just bought the paper edition. The article comes with a nice pic of Mika sitting on the bed in his hotel room. He looks very 'Mika-ish'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloEmPje Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 I'm gonna by it to Blue, always nice to have a picture of Mika sitting on a bed and to Tia.. the Volkskrant is a paper for mostly I would say businesspeople? You gotta help me with that one Blue but anyway I barely understand half of what there saying in Dutch so for me translating it to English would be a very bad translating haha maybe someone else is up to it?

Blue Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 The Volkskrant is quite populair among students, art minding people and the higher educated. I might say NRC is the typical newspaper for business people, but I get your point: the article is not really written in 'plain/simple' Dutch. Too bad that I don't actually have time to translate the interview, it's a nice one! Maybe a good translation program on the internet will help for the online version?

Blue Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Mika: "Which artist in the charts would ever sing about men with a secret homosexual relationship?" In addition: in the first paragraph of the article Mika is described as follows: 'The new Craig David? Such a mellifluous airbrushed r&b star? The difference couldn't be any bigger. This tawny young man - curly-head, faded jeans, t-shirt and colourful bead necklace from the third world shop - rather looks like a working student who just returned from orange picking in a kibbutz'.
