lollypop Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 OK. I'll try to translate it: welcome to the new star of pop music, excentric and talentuous(?) He's a real star in england, and even in france, it's mika! We don't know if he has chocolate tablets (lol mika milka ahahah) Indeed, his album 'life in cartoon motion" is a real delight. If you don't know him, he 'll be this night in paris at the trabendo, look, you didn't know him more, because it's sold out! but, the june, 30 at the olympia, you'll can go applause him! welcome to the one who give us tube like "relax" or "grace kelly" (with the accent thank you L ruquier! lol "graasse kelly" lol) Me, I know his voice, only his voice, I 've never see him, I know only his songs because there are often on radio , but for the first time in this show, Mister Mika! (applause! lol) LR: welcome! I don't imagine you like that! I was seing you in an completly other way! Mika: smaller! lot of people says I'm small LR: he speak a very good french mika! why? You're from lebanon, you live in england, you consider yourself as a britannic with a lebanese culture, but you lived a long time in france! M: 8 years, yeah, in paris! But Ido a lot of mistakes! I said it now! A member of the crew: you have nothing italian? because you look like the "david " of michelange! M: it's a compliment thanks! AMOTC: in general yes! It's not to say to someone is ugly! LR: for the ones who haven't seen you, on the radio you have for sure heard that! this is the clip! (videos of relax and grace kelly) LR: it's real pop music! Annie! M: I'm a little bit afraid! Annie: afraid? why? of what? M: of you all! A: don't worry everybody loves you here! M: oh ok! A: I wanna ask you : you travelled a lot, and at a moment, music saved you, because at eleven, you stopped speaking M: yes, when we moved to france from london, it was very difficult, I was in a very small school here in paris and I moved to a big high school in london so I've a lot of problems at school because I'm dislexic, we say that in french? dislexic? I was 11, and I couln't read and write, and it was a problem! (joke from a man about dislexic and miss mexic) M: and after I"ve a lots of problems at london and they makes me go out of school and during 6 months, I've learned the sing with my professor LR: but indeed, you have vocals facilities quite amazing! M: yes , she coach me very well... LR: I've heard you have 5 octaves (?) M: no, that's not true! It's impossible, 5 octaves! (joke from a man: some girls have 5 jules but 5 "octave"! Octave: the name! ahahah) Olivia: It's genial! A question: lebanes mum, american dad, you lived only a year on lebanon... M: yes, we were evacuated! O: you must leave, we can read in your biography that your dad was kept, during the Irak war, when you was 9, during 10 months in koweit. M: He's gone to a businness trip ,he was in koweit the first night of the war, at golfe in 90's , he was in the american ambassade during 7 months.

Noo, I still think the statue looks scary! Mika doesn't. here is definitely a very strong resemlance ......mika has this almost perfect face that would have stood out during the Roman Empire for its perfection and purity... I'm not sure their leisurely pasttime and luxurious feastings would have suited his hyperactive nature though nor could I see him being oiled by a slave...

Blue Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I'm not sure their leisurely pasttime and luxurious feastings would have suited his hyperactive nature though nor could I see him being oiled by a slave... You can have a try... At least that is one for the visual thinkers among us. And for the sake of completeness here is the entire David. No skinny legs though.

I have to clarify that Michelangelo was ispired, for this biblical character, to classical Greek art... Greek art exemplifies natural and human perfection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
